Ad hocs are just like ham hocs except they come off an Australian animal called an "ad". Good eatin' I'm told.

I fail to understand the relevance of this!!

@1145: I think the owner II’s mocking the intellectual abilities of the rocket scientists at wjtv.

Wait'll one of those newsreaders stumbles up on maî·tre d'hô·tel or som·me·lier. A head will explode.

Hell, the WLBT weatherpersons can't pronounce Natchez, Biloxi or Saucier.

Perfectly understandable....he figured it was an acronym used by the city council:

Always
Doing
Highly
Ostentatious
Crap!!

Now this is going back around thirty years, but I remember watching the evening news one New Year's Eve when Walter Saddler announced that Brits were scheduled to celebrate the New Year in "Traffler" Square. Oh, that must be the other large public square in London where the New Year is traditionally welcomed.

I don't know why that particular scene stuck with me, but it has...

On a different topic I am hoping someone can enlighten me. Again, I do not know why the following is occupying space in my brain, but it is. Possibly from due to poor decisions made in my youth. . . but I really don't wish to go there.

Conversation overheared at the Exxon at I55 and Northside:

Man standing on sidewalk asking a question, which I did not hear, of a woman sitting in a car parked in a space.

Reply from woman in car: "What the f*ck are you doing asking me what am I doing?
Why you talking to me like H.R. Puffnstuff?"

Can someone please enlighten me as to the cartoon reference? I am losing sleep over this.

Will be much obliged.

All three of the local Jackson "stations" have kids that have no clue about English grammar.

Pronunciation, spelling, subject/verb agreement and prepositions apparently are not taught anymore.

Hell, even back during the 60's / 70's, a famous WJTV "weatherman" would appear on camera half drunk, pour some Jack Daniels on a bowl of ice cream and give a decent forecast while simultaneously
advertising one of their sponsors . . . Seale Lily ice cream.

Hey @6:26PM, Remember the time Woody was on to advertise some watery hair tonic while drunk and as he touted the miracle blue liquid he began to pour a bottle of it over his head and rub it in his hair??? Them were the "good ole days"......

6:26 - Don't be dissin' on Bob Neblett - You'll piss off Tom Head.

A couple was driving down the Trace (North to South) and began to see markers for the town of Kosciusko. An argument ensued as to the correct pronunciation, with the husband saying it was the name of famous Revolutionary War Polish General "Ko-shoes-ko" and the wife insisting it was "Cause-e s-Ko", a name she had heard used by others. As they came to the exit, the husband decided to leave the Trace and ask a local to setting the argument.

They located a burger joint and decided someone there would be able to provide expert linguistic assistance. The husband addressed a young waitress at the service window. "Will you please tell us the name of this place to settle our argument about pronunciation? Speak slowly please."

The young lady looked confused for a moment and then spoke.
