THE LATEST IN LEE & WOLFE NEWS:

((This issue: Discussion board, Full Moon Blanket, and sheep - see below.))

If you're new to the Fun-O-Rama, welcome! Remember, you can catch up with Lee & Wolfe news by reading back issues on the website [ http://v91.simplenet.com/leewolfe/fanzine.htm ].

"Communication is the Key"

There's nothing we love better than to hear from you. Well, o.k., there are a few things we like better, but hearing from you is really high on the list. Unless we're doing those few things we like better. Therefore, I thought I'd take a moment to analyze this listener / DJ communication thing. Calling us: easy. Simple. (205) 348-6082 is the studio, and we're on 5-8pm CDT (2100 - 0100 GMT). O.k. Faxing us: a little tougher. Involves a more complicated device. (205) 348-0375 is the WVUA office fax, but it's usually locked up while we do the show. Not the best way to request a song. E-mailing us: good idea. We have several addresses, but we'd like you to use radiogods@hotmail.com for simple stuff, or radiogods@birmingham-us.crosswinds.net if it's a big'n. Writing to us: you've got to be kidding. Ask us for the snail mail address if you'd like to send a band demo, etc.

"We Put the 'kfo' in Rockford"

Some of you have inquired as to whether we heard from "that station up north," so here's a job hunt update. Wolfe called WXRX moments ago to ask what's up, since we haven't heard anything. It seems everyone in the company, and all of their relatives, and a few heads of foreign states, must listen to our CD before they can make a decision. So we wait. Other than that, we're in the process of sending out CDs and resumes to various and sundry places such as Dothan, Alabama, Meridian, Mississippi, and even Birmingham again. The station where Rick and Bubba work, 103.7 "The Q" (you do remember the Rick and Bubba stories, right? Refresh your memory at [ http://v91.simplenet.com/leewolfe/picpages/pxinnews/randb97.htm ]), has just moved to Birmingham and is running an ad looking for air talent. So we're applying and listing Rick and Bubba as a reference. I know, I know, I've been laughing about it all morning.

 

 

"Other News"

Sending us humor...

As previously mentioned, we love hearing from you, and enjoy the comedy that folks send to us in all forms. BUT... and this is a big but... here are a few ideas to follow for forwarding jokes and other things to us or anyone else you know. We'll all love you more. (1) Neaten up e-mail you plan to forward by removing headers (all that computer nonsense at the beginning of a message) and other addresses BEFORE you forward it. All your friends will love you more for this. (2) Consolidate multiple jokes into ONE e-mail (BRIAN!!!) Cut and paste with a text editor or word processor. (3) Only send pictures in .jpg format or .gif format (MARC!!!) Other formats are a waste of bandwidth. If these file format thingies make no sense to you e-mail us, or grab a nerdy computer guru friend and ask.

Here's one request that just applies to me. Please don't send comedic lists of the following format: 50 ways to freak out your roommate, 50 ways to confuse the guy in the bathroom stall next to you, 50 ways to annoy people at work, 50 ways to scare your date's father, 50 ways to bother the pizza delivery guy, etc. I hate those. "Stand on the Xerox machine, shaking your butt, and screaming 'LOOK, I'm the amazing Xerox butt shaker!'" I HAAAATE those.

 

 

ON THE SHOW:

"Band-wise"

This Friday, July 17th, Full Moon Blanket from the magic city of Birmingham, Alabama will be here to play and chat on the show around 7pm. Lee (speaking to Wolfe): "So what kinda music do they do?" Wolfe (answering Lee): "I guess it's just straight rock 'n' roll music." Lee : "Um, o.k. then..." There's a girl that sings, and we like girls that sing. Should be very cool. Call or e-mail if you like, since we may once again try to check e-mail live if someone shows up with a computer.

"Other-wise"

As of right now while I'm typing the station is off the air because, as our program director put it, it "blew up or something." I say this for two reasons. There's a slim chance it won't come back on real soon, so let's all cross our fingers and hope the engineer remembers where the station is (this one's outside our Engineer Nick's job description). Also, I say this to remind you that, much like for a PBS television station, WVUA is non-commercial and financial donations are tax deductable. :-)

 

 

ON THE WEBSITE:

"We Still Remember How to Upload Shows"

Well hot-diggety-damn, we added a couple of shows in real audio. Go to [ http://v91.simplenet.com/leewolfe/audio/theshow.htm ] and you can now hear the 3rd Anniversary Show from May 1, and the Spring Countdown Show from May 8. Wow, we're only about two months behind now.

"Say What?"

Say what you like on the Lee & Wolfe website now that we have a sparkling fresh discussion board! What's a discussion board, you ask? From our main page at [ http://v91.simplenet.com/leewolfe/index.html ] click on the drawing of people talking where it says DISCUSS, and you'll see a place where you can post a message, respond to a message, respond to a response, etc. Argue a topic, ask us questions, tell us where to stick it, make fun of 107.7 The X, tell a joke, write poetry about Wolfe's mother, critique that poetry, or anything else you'd like to do for all to see. It's very cool, and we hope you'll participate, and help us build a fun-loving, close-knit Lee & Wolfe "community." Barf.

 

 

THE STRANGEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE:

The Gallery of the Absurd has tons and tons of absurd advertisements. Some are hilarious, some not, but you have to visit this site to at least see the lard ad at the bottom of the page. [ http://absurdgallery.com/enter.shtml ] Click on the "Lemon in Water" ad to see the galleries of ads. In gallery one I recommend "Loud Spitting" and "Mustard Surprise." Ad people are supremely stupid.

Who's up for cutting open animal parts? Visit the Cow's Eye Dissection Page. [ http://www.exploratorium.edu/learning_studio/cow_eye/index.html ] Click step-by-step, then use the continue button in the lower right of each page. Then eat some mushrooms or oysters while you read. As the site says, "If you are following along at school or home please be careful. Scalpels and razors can cut you as easily as they cut cow eyes."

Well, finally, I found a place I can order an inflatable love sheep! [ http://www.muttonbone.com/index.shtml ] Thank god! Once you own one, maybe you could join the Unincorporated Society of Plastic Sheep. [ http://www.plastic-sheep.org ] Someone even made a movie about their little toy sheep. [ http://www.personal.u-net.com/~southpaw/sheepman.htm ]. Steee-range!

 

--> Don't forget the show is live on the net every week at [ http://v91.simplenet.com/leewolfe/audio/liveshow.htm ]. Drop us an e-note if you're listening!

 

 

Thanks again to all of you for reading, listening, writing, and sending psychic messages...
