	Did anyone else manage to get through those "yentas" on Howard's 
Show Thursday 11-19?  After 10 minutes of listening to them driving down 
Interstate 95 to work I just wanted to steer my car off into some construction 
equipment.  From the calls and faxes afterward it sounds like I was not the 
only one:

Gary:  "Some guy is yelling something in Spanish about his speakers melting"
Fax:  "You should be charged with manslaughter, I am walking in front of a 
       train"
Fax:  "I want to dig up Hitler and revive him"
Howard:  "We're getting a lot of phone calls from people on ledges"
Fax:  "The suicide Hotline is going to be busy today"
Fax:  "I'm surprised the linen king of (someplace) hasn't hung himself with
       one of his sheets"  [husband of yenta]

	For those of you who missed it, all I can say is the experince was 
surreal; it made for some bizarre radio. 
	Anyone else hear it and have their speakers melt?

Stern has a guy on the show once in a while named Lesley or something.  Who is
this guy and what is his history with the show?  I have been listening for about a
year now but still haven't been able to  piece it together.

For those who are interested, I posted a copy of bababooey.au in

from the .iff file posted (as in it didn't write a .iff file like SOX
wanted to see it, so I made it into one), so it sounds just a tad over

modulation :-) but it sounds just fine on my SS2.

		 _Coronner: DeBella Was a suicide_
		 by Kathi Kauffman

     Montgomery County coroner.
       DeBella, 34, was found early in the morning of Oct.17 in her car,
   parked
     in the closed garage of her Bryn Mawr home, with the engine running.
       Three days later, Montgomery County Coroner Halbert Fillinger said
   she 
     died of acute carbon monoxide poisoning.  He also said that her
     blood-alcohol level was 0.21 percent; it is illegal to drive with a
     blood-alcohol level of 0.10 percent or greater.

So she made a legal move, she didn't drive, she just stayed in the car...

People are making a lot of the .21% alcohol level, saying that it is
'twice the legal driving limit'.  It wasn't so very many years ago
that you had to be .21% or higher to be considered legally too drunk
to drive, and 1.5 was legally sober.  The .1% limit was set low enough
such that most people at that level were not noticably impaired.

My guess is that for an average sized person, .21 is about 4-5 drinks
drunk, and, unless you are fairly sensitive, that isn't completely
crocked, not to pass out in a car.

mention of letterman's situation with nbc during stern's last appearance
on late night does not exactly qualify as "charting new territory" since
the story with letterman and nbc has been making the rounds for some time.
in fact, it wasn't the first time that stern had made mention of the
thing on letterman's show...

   This week in Ronald's mind...

   He meant that Howard was "charting new territory" by actually discussing
   Dave's contract with NBC as a guest on the show.  Dave was upset about this
   but didn't seem as upset when others raised the topic later.

   You accomplished your mission, Ronald.  You got at least one of us to respond.

Rolling on the floor is also involved.

She stopped visiting because her legal guardians thought Howard was
exploiting her.  I believe Howard won't even play the tape of the great
"Gina Dance" episode for fear of angering Gina Girl's guardians.  I
don't know if there actually was any threat of legal action or not;
Howard was evasive about this.

>I forgot about the Crazy Jerry guy, but I think he's the one who first
>brought Gina Girl in to visit Howard. 

It's worse than that.  Crazy Jerry was *living* with Gina Girl.  Howard
asked her about sex with Jerry, and she described things in that
stereotypical retarded person's speech impediment.  This episode alone
will insure that Howard rots in Hell.  :-> The sentence "Jerry washes my
breasts" will ring forever in my ears.

Gina Girl is also the source of the "Pee-pee Dance."  This is analogous
to the "Gina Dance," but is performed by a male.  She told Howard that
Crazy Jerry would sometimes performs the Pee-pee Dance, and she would
perform the Gina Dance.  Howard has performed the Pee-pee Dance on TV
several times.  I believe he did it on Joan Rivers recently.

>Another time, he brought a semi-retarded man in and Howard 
>called him Gina Man.

Gina Man is not actually retarded, he just works for the post office.
He used to make tapes of himself doing impressions of famous people.
He'd mail these to Howard, who would play them on the area, and laugh so
hard he'd have trouble breathing.

All the "impressions" were in Gina Man's deadpane monotone (i.e.  they
didn't sound like the subject), and Gina Man would laugh hysterically
after each one.  The most famous was of Mother Theresa, who was
recovering from a heart attack at the time:

    This is Mother Theresa, speaking from the Bed:  "God 
    don't want me yet, man, I got more feet to taste."

Gina Man and Crazy Jerry are on Howard's second video tape, "US Open
Sores."  Crazy Jerry has since moved away from New York.

There are binary groups specifically for such postings.  Posting of

who *don't* carry the binary groups because they don't *want* such

Now don't take me wrong I REALLY LOVE Howard but I can't take it when he starts

at other times its as if Howard has lost his composure and is really not in con
trol of himself.  Even with Robin's valiant attempts to lighten up the atmosphe
re often a primevial sense of evil seems to overcome Howard.  Is Howard all the
re?  Did he get beat up one-too-many-times in high school?  Has he caught somet
hing from Jessica that is slowly rotting away his brains?

 Many of the magazine articles claim that Howard is not like the character he p
plays on the show.  Does anyone have first hand knowledge of how Howard behaves
 when he is not "performing?"   How about his suit with the FCC put up or real?
  Has Howard paid to have trumped up charges placed before the FCC to get expos
ure and controvsory?  After all what is a "shock" jock without certified shock?

He said today that the "mistake" was that when they took the picture for the

I used a program from sumex-aim.stanford.edu called Amiga-Snd converter.  It's
in info-mac/sound/program/amiga-snd-converter.hqx.  It's very basic but it does
work.  It will take quite some time to load the sound and then play it once through
and then allow you to save it to a conventional System 7 sound file that can 
then be dropped in your System Folder.

Enjoy!!!
