On accuradio I can mix my favourite sub-gemnres        together to create one nearly perfect statio -- I can even mix in some       comedy, too, for variety. . . (I love when Bob Newhart does one of his       talking stories, like the ad exec trying to create an "Abraham Lincoln"       that'll stand the test of time, in spite of Abe's objecftions to some of the       silliness, like having to write his speeches on the backs of envelopes, &       giving him a General Grant's detractors squelch (buy him his favourite brand       & ship it to him))              /G              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-6        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131 129/305 330       SEEN-BY: 129/331 134/100 138/146 153/105 135 141 757 7715 218/700       SEEN-BY: 221/6 226/30 227/114 229/110 206 307 317 400 424 426 428       SEEN-BY: 229/452 664 700 240/5832 261/38 266/512 267/67 275/100 1000       SEEN-BY: 280/464 282/1038 292/854 301/1 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/11       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280 640/1321 712/848 3634/12       PATH: 153/757 7715 229/426           |
