-- I had never heard the "Motorcycle Greggo" bit before. It was played after the Hardline closing theme and before the cavalcade of ads before poor T.C. has to cram his Top Ten into the time allotted time. (T.C., who really lights up the Top Ten with his between-bit patter, was forced into auctioneer-speed talking tonight.) Is this an old bit? It was incredibly savage. Wondering if The (Incomparable) UnTicket has it (it may want to run it by its attorneys first); I'd like to hear it again. Let's see -- there was a reference to white trash, a whore, and, the most intriguing reference: something about Greggo somehow acquiring money that belonged to Ticket staff members. I can't remember the wording of that last gag, but it was astonishingly bitter and astonishingly inside; would love to know what that joke was about. Surely this is an old bit, and some of the references would probably mean something to longer-time listeners. I was entertained, but it was really, really harsh about a guy who isn't even a pimple on The Little One's ass. Can anyone provide us some context here?
-- I still don't get Corby's Scot Harrison impression.
-- I was impressed with Corby's knowledge of NBA rosters during the discussion of the accusations of overwhiteness against the MN Timberwolves. He could have been reading the info off his screen, I suppose, but I don't think so. Maybe he knew what was going to be on Mike's mind and studied up. Or, quite possibly, he knew what he was talking about.
-- I noticed that one of the followers on this site was a gentleman named Dana Porter. In his minibio, he said that his thumbnail was a painting by his late grandfather, Henry C. Porter. Intrigued, I Googled "Henry C. Porter" and discovered that he was noted artist with some really fascinating and beautiful images, both representational and abstract. You can check them out here.
