Re: request etiquette

There's still the issue Dale of days that have shows and west coast people not being able to request much because things are backed up from the earlier time zone requests by the time the show ends. Today I requested four songs, two hours apart pretty much, and heard them all. Not sure what happened. It was a neat experiment though.

Anyway, I can live with whatever pans out.

Dale, I haven't seen that word in a month of Sundays. I looked it up and it says "patootie"....close.

Waiting for Bippy to be used

How or when your Bippy is used is definately TMI for the rest of us.

The rule is, if the opening is big enough to drive a truck through, you gotta take it. Well done Dale!

Thanks Goo for some good suggestions/discussion.

pdj likes it when people play nice...

Jim quoted The Rule on this one. My particular yardstick is that when one leads with one's chin, it is just Not Sporting to not take the shot.

You know, it's trivial to set up a rule in the station that starts the 2 hour wait between RQs at 12:01 ET on Thursday and put it back to the standard at 11:59 ET the same day.

Personally, the nature of my current job allows me to listen to my heart's content but leaves me little time for such luxuries as 'requesting' and 'leaving my seat to do anything without western civilization coming grinding to a halt'.

So between keeping western civilization afloat, saving the day, rescuing nuns and orphans from burning orphanages (while saving their boxes of wet eyed kittens and puppies) and single-handedly redesigning the airspace in and around Greater Atlanta(*), I just don't have the time, ya know?

Not like I'm not trying. I think I may have stumbled upon the secret of adding an additional 4 hours per day. I'll keep everyone posted.

Anyway, What say y'all about the idea of altering the request bucket during the Theme Thursday freeferall?

Roger -Dot- Lee, just tossing ideas about.

(*) OK, so I was exaggerating about the orphans.

Kittens and Puppies with wet eyes are a sign of disease and should be taken to a Vet right away.
