USPS, HOF, MITM and maybe some more acronyms

A Podcast Listener Rick?

I worked twelve hours yesterday and didn't much feel like blogging last night when I got home. I hope you survived without me. I also didn't feel like editing the podcast yesterday either but I just got done doing that today. Dirty Laundry Podcast is up and at'em. I am listening to the show on the computer while I write this blog. I will also download it onto Roz later. I cannot believe this is our 86th episode. In fourteen weeks we will be doing our 100th episode. We talk about a very big guest that may be coming to the show and maybe I will try to get him on the show for the 100th load of laundry.

I wish I could podcast full-time but since there is no money in it at this point it wouldn't make sense. Also, if I did nothing but podcast would I have anything to podcast about? We talk mostly about our everyday experiences so if we did nothing but podcast we would talk only about podcasting and would that be entertaining? I guess it wouldn't be much different than being a radio host because they do that for a job... hmmmmm. Very perplexing. It doesn't really MATTer at this point anyway. I guess step one would be to start selling advertisements huh? But, if I did that, wouldn't my job be to sell ads? I may as well just keep my job and podcasting as a hobby. Thanks for letting be hug talk blog it out. See what a great service you are offering by reading this blog. Keep reading it and you don't have to go to church or put money in those little red kettles that will be popping up soon.

I predict that in ten years there will be no United States Postal Service (USPS) and Best Buy as we know them now. The USPS is showing record losses and Best Buy is bleeding money too. I hate getting Christmas cards in the mail so I won't really miss the USPS and I hate Black Friday and Best Buy seems to be one of the biggest Black Friday offenders. Best Buy will still be around but I predict this will be the last Christmas that they are as big as they are now. I say they will down-size their stores and sell more on-line that they now do within thirteen months. I would love for all of the mom and pop stores to come back to revitalize main street America. I heard Wal-Mart isn't doing as well as they have in the past either. I would love if we had a nice downtown and I would go to the bakery for my bread and the butcher for my meat (if I ate red meat) and the cobbler for my shoes... More people to sell podcasting ads to LOL.

Did you know that there is a Toy Hall of Fame (I linked it there for you)? There are two new inductees into the THOF. The finalists this year were: Twister, Magic 8-Ball, Star Wars figures, Lite-Brite, Fisher-Price corn popper, dominoes, the tea set, Simon and Clue. The two new member are Star Wars figures and dominoes. Star Wars figures could not be reached by MITM for comment but dominoes said, "we've been around since the 1300's; it's about damn time." (they said it in Chinese though) Before the vote Magic 8-Ball knew said, "outlook not good," which proved it should be in the next year.

I have to make dinner and maybe get a nap in. Thanks a lot for stopping in and for listening to the podcast. Did I mention the new podcast is ready for your auditory enjoyment? I am too lazy to scroll up (not really, I just wanted to pretend like I am so I can mention it twice). Have a great night. Stay warm if you're in the MIDDLEwest. I will probably blog tomorrow so I hope something exciting happens for your sake. TTTT...MITM (truning Japanese...I really think so). Sayonara.
