The wonderful world of urinals.

Sometimes it’s the little things that get to you and become big things.  You take for granted that your work place will have a place of relative comfort that you can use to perform your bathroom duties.  I, for one, appreciate a good urinal in the men’s room.  We have one here at X-96 but this week, on Monday, it got clogged.  Everyone griped about it being plugged up, but no one did anything.  So, on the Radio From Hell Show, we took matters into our own hands (so to speak) and got Jay the janitor to stop by and unplug the thing.  Pictures are available on the RFH page for your perusal.  Thank the Lord we can now stand and deliver at will.

There’s an amazing amount of information out there about urinals.  If you’re interested, I suggest looking at the Wikipedia entry about them.  Also, I found this unusual site;  http://www.urinal.net.  You can spend hours with these wonderful bathroom installations.  There’s even a forum for you to talk about urinals and your experience with them.  I was so excited, I nearly wet myself.  This isn’t a website you can just whiz by either.  Take some time with it.  Enjoy.

Thanks for listening,

The Orphanage (El Orfanato) and other movie stuff.

I need to go to the movies more often.

I saw this film, The Orphanage, last Saturday night.  It’s a Spanish made ghost story that is about as scary as the come.  Part of what makes it so frightening is that the story is so sad and pathetic.  I can’t imagine that this movie won’t scare the crap out of you and move you as well.  The woman who plays the lead, Belen Rueda, gives a very strong performance. 

Without her, The Orphanage would not be as gripping as it is.  The last two scenes of the movie were maybe not necessary.  The whole movie is so downbeat that the director seemed to think we needed a couple of moments of relief at the end.  I’m not so sure that he shouldn’t have let it end on a grim note.

I’m going to make an effort to see more current movies in the near future.  I get so far behind though.  I still haven’t seen No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood.  My goal is going to be a movie a week in 2008.

Thanks for listening, Bill.

Where can I contact Bill Allred?

Currently there is no mechanism for commenting on these blog entries and I know you’re dying to say something about the things I publish.  So, for now, feel free to contact me at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).  I want to hear from you. 

Also, this…do you know anyone who delivers bread for the Crumb Brothers up in Logan.  I love their bread and want to encourage them to make the X-96 studios one of their regular stops on a once-a-week basis.    Tell the Crumb Brothers to email me immediately.

Thanks for listening, Bill

The Guthrie "reign of terror" is finally at an end.

I think Guthrie did a great job on the Radio From Hell Show.  I just hope he saved us from becoming a “big gay dinosaur” like the guy you see in this package.
