Show Summary - September 18


It was good show in my opinion as only two of our three guests ended up hanging up on me.

We had a surprise phone call from the Mayor of Victoria. Mayor Dean called to promote the website http://www.johnsonstreetbridge.com/ where citizens can view the three choices to replace the bridge. When I asked, "Why don't we just repair the current bridge and save tax dollars, the Mayor replied, "That is not an option." When I asked why it is not an option, he screamed, "I said it is not an option - move on boy" Mayor Dean also asked "his subjects" not to visit http://www.johnsonstreetbridge.org/ because it has "nothing but capitalist propaganda against my master plant" He also made it clear this is not some ego driven legacy project for him, although the new bridge will have a plaque with a lifesize picture of himself (4'11"). We hope the mayor is feeling better because he seemed to have some sort of nasal problem during the conversation.

Our second guest was Taylor MacIlleeny, new product advisor for Mountain Equipment Co-op. Due to "Global Warming" (apparently some people still believe in that) North America will be cooling down considerably so there is a need for warm multi use products. One of his products is a suit that you can urinate inside and the liquid will be circulated in the suit and keep you warm (like a wetsuit) although the urine will not touch your body due to a special foil polymer. You can then dispose of the urine later in an environmentally friendly manner. Honestly, I'd rather freeze than wear a pee suit.

Our last guest was IMAGINE, a guy who has dedicated his life to peace and John Lennon. He is so dedicated that he only says words that contain letters from the words "bedpeace" or "hairpeace". For example, he cannot say "John Lennon" so he only refers to him as "Mr. Lennon" IMAGINE is planning on coming to Victoria in November to put on a seminar to spread his campaign of "Peace through Sleep." The interview ended after I told him the joke, "What do lost hikers and Yoko Ono have in common? They both live on dead beatles." Apparently he thought that was offensive and hung up on me.
Next Show - September 25th - the return of Tommy Carson and Finance Minister "Handy and Handsome" Colin Hansen.
