Halloween Ball
I just wanted to remind you that starting on Monday we will have a whole new way of blogging. We're going to try to give folks more options here.
Also, I hope to see a lot of you folks at the Halloween Ball! It's going to be a fun time. Come on by and say hello.
Enjoy!

you talk, we listen
Some folks don't like my posts and some folks don't like my family writing to me. That's fine with me! So, in order to make everybody happy (hopefully), we are going make some blog changes starting next week. I will keep you posted on all that is happening soon.
Enjoy!

bloggin
I'm sure you've heard by now that Chris has joined us in the mornings. He's getting settled in and somebody asked if he was going to start doing the blog because mine stink. Maybe not those exact words, but close enough :)
I am going to teach him to blog. It would be sweet if he decided to do them. Not only would you have more entertaining blog entries, BUT it would free up my time! It's a win-win!
We've been busy with all sorts of stuff around here potty-training the new guy, but thanks for sticking with us through all the changes that we're sure will bring us to bigger heights.
Enjoy!

Decepticons!!!!! NO!!!!!!!
Check out this site:
http://optimus.transformersmovie.com/
You can email people a message warning them of a Decepticon invasion! I sent one to Dina saying her husband was a Decepticon. I think I actually scared her a little bit.
Don't know if you're living with a Decepticon? Well, let me help you out. If they transform into a bulldozer, stealth jet or tank, they might be a Decepticon.
Also, if they stick to purple colors, that might be a hint.
Finally, if they talk about stealing the power of the Allspark and taking over the world, then they're either hungry for some microwave nuggets or they're a Decepticon.
Seriously, doctors have proven that folks craving microwavable chicken nuggets act like Decepticons. Don't look at me that way. I just report the truth.
I'm off to transform into Chuck Norris.

Don't Waste Food!
I was talking with Dina about "Chuckles" off the air today. I don't know how we got into it, but she said she hated them. If you don't know them, they're a "jelly candy". I don't know if that makes sense. They're soft gummy candy with sugar crystals all over them.
Anyways, I said that I liked eating three of them. They are a candy where you're in the mood for them, and then you eat three and realize you don't want to eat anymore. BUT!!!! You can't waste candy! You have to eat the whole thing! Like mom always said, there are children in New Zealand that don't even get to eat ONE Chuckle! It's not good to waste a perfectly good candy like that.
It's tough, but I suffer through the whole package.
It would be a good gift for Bosses Day today. Get your boss a bag of Chuckles. They won't know if you hate them or love them. It's good to keep the boss on their toes.
Give your boss a big hug!
Enjoy!

weird vacations
I was talking to a friend of mine from Albany and he told me that his wife used to go to Holyoke for vacation when she was younger. Now, I love Holyoke and think it's fantastic, but I would not think if it as a vacation spot, would you?
Yeah, her parents used to go to a hotel in Holyoke that had those magic fingers and if the kids were good, they got a shiny quarter to fire that puppy up. Wooooo!!!!!
Now, this wasn't just a one time thing. They did this about four times in her life. It sounds strange to me, but I guess if that's what you want to do, I'm not going to stop you.
I don't know. Maybe I shouldn't make fun. I've never actually used a magic fingers bed. Maybe Holyoke would be my vacation spot if I gave it a try.
Please don't hate me if you're from Holyoke. I still love you! I will visit regularly and enjoy all you have to offer. I just don't think I'll spend a week there for my vacation.
If it makes you feel any better, I live in West Springfield and I wouldn't spend a week there for vacation. I think it's a great town, but again, not a vacation hot spot.
OK...Well...I think I'm just digging myself deeper and deeper into a hole. Everybody is going to hate me soon. I'll just quit while I'm only six feet deep...crud...that's about all they need to finish me off...
...help....gulp....

recalls galore
So, infant medicine is getting recalled for "accidental overdose". That's an odd recall. I mean, shouldn't we recall cigarettes for "accidental cancer"? If you use the medicine correctly, then you shouldn't have a problem, right? You can't even say that about cigarettes. Weird recalls.
And something so innocent like Chicken Pot Pie! Say it ain't so! What is going on in the world?
I think there was a recall on my biceps because I don't have any. I swear I should have them. They must have contained to much lead as well. Get it. Like "going to the gun show", so they're guns and bullets and stuff? Riiiiiiight. This is just getting crazy.
We've got a new secret sound on Monday morning and I'm sure there will be more recalls. Hopefully our weekends won't be recalled.
I'm off to check my apt. for lead.
Enjoy!

Belts, Sweater Vests and Candy
I got a new belt with Wolverine on it! How cool is that! Why would I want a Wolverine belt? Well, Wolvie's motto is "I'm the best there is at what I do" and what he does is hold up my pants!
If you look at the comments section for the last entry, you'll see a link for a Candy Blog. I'm not kidding. One of my faithful readers helped out and found me a candy blog. It has a ton of great candy stuff on it. Like Lava Balls! I never heard of them, but they sound great, right? They are big, hot cinnamon jelly beans. And, c'mon, how fun is it to say Lava Balls?
Finally, we have a picture of me in my sweater vest. Yep. It's real. here it is:

Who's that stud? Well, if I have to tell you, then you don't deserve to know. Ha! Kidding. It's me. Obviously. Who poses like that? If you look REALLY closely, you can see the dimple in the tie. That took me hours. That's my exciting life...woooo...
Yeah, I get to wear that snappy outfit for my latest play. In case you're curious, I'll plug it here. The first two weekends in November at City Stage on their smaller stage. Fri. and Sat at 8 and Sun. at 3 for both weekends. It's called "The Heidi Chronicles" and it rocks because everybody else in the play is awesome.
Ok, enough. End of narcissism.
Thank you faithful "people who read the blog" (bloggees? If I'm a blogger, then bloggee seems to make sense, right?)
You're the only reason I write ridonkulous posts all the time. I hope you're enjoying them.
I'm off to work on my tie dimple.

Spice-Force One Powers Activate
The Spice Girls are on tour. I'm sure you're excited. We talked about their tour plane this morning. They call it "Spice-Force One". That sounds like a cartoon to me! Wanna hear my pitch? I knew you would.
Ok, so the Spice Girls are just your regular, everyday international pop star group at night, but during the day, they are international spies with super powers!
They each have a pink communicator on their arms and when the United Nations needs them to solve crime, their communicators start to sing "Tell me what you want, what you really, really want".
They shout their battle cry, "Spice-Force Powers Activate!" (I swear I didn't steal that from the Wonder Twins) And they each have powers related to their name.
Posh Spice: She can zap you with "Fashion Rays" that come out of her eyes. When you get hit, you are wearing hip, new clothes.
Baby Spice: She screams with her fearsome "Baby Cry" which can make even the toughest man cry for his mommy.
Scary Spice: Just look at her. One look and you run away frightened. She doesn't even have to change or anything.
Sporty Spice: She can challenge anyone to any sport and win. You don't know why this rocks? Here's an example:
International Jewel Thief: Ok, Sporty, I challenge you to a game of basketball. If you win, I surrender. If I win, I get to go free.
Sporty: You're on!
The End. Because she always wins!
Ginger Spice: She can use the amazing powers of ginger to soothe a sore throat. Well, I hear ginger is good for that sort of thing. It's in tea and stuff. She might throw a lemon at you to help too. She doesn't really do much. She just usually drives the Spice-Mobile or something.
How about that! Awesome idea, I know. I should sell it. Can you imagine the marketing possibilities? I bet they'll pay me millions of dollars for this brilliant idea. It will be on Saturday morning cartoons before you know it.
I trust you all not to steal it.
I have to go make my millions.
Spice-Force Powers Activate!

WMAS gets its Groove Back!
I say regular because Groovy Lopez was in the studio this morning. I don't know if you heard it, but you must have seen his hair. It's such a large fro that it is one of three things visible from space. The other two are the great wall of China and my awesomeness.
If you've never met Groovy, he's a distant cousin of mine and looks like he just walked out of the 70's. He smells of Hai Karate and knows how to get the ladies. He's much too cool for me.
He's been gone so long because he was on a mercy mission to help save small countries with children starving for grooviness. Did you know that for the price of a cup of coffee a day, you can give a child the feeling of being groovy? You can adopt an ungroovy child and help him or her get the groove back in their life. We'll send you pictures to show you the progress of their fro and you can watch them get taller as they get more inches added to their platform shoes. It brings a tear to you eye, doesn't it?
Groovy knows the ladies like a man who gives back to the world. He's not selfish. He'll share his grooviness.
I think that's all for today. I'm off to learn some moves from the master.
Enjoy!

The Bar
Ok, so the conundrum wanted to find out what soap, granola and candy had in common. The answer is that they are all bars. Some people got it right away, but others, like me, did not.
I can get all those things in other forms that are not bar-like. I agree that they do all come in bar form, but I didn't think of that right away because when I think of candy, I think of gummy worms. They only become a bar when you leave them in the car to melt, and then let them cool again. That is an awesome snack, but not what I think of right away.
That is all. That is my reasoning for not getting it right away. I'm just telling you it's ok if you didn't get this conundrum right away. We still love you. Even if the "bar folk" are making fun of us.
I talk about candy a lot on this blog, don't I? It's more like the Candy Blog. I wonder if there is a candy blog? That would be awesome. What would be even more awesomer would be a website that showed pictures of candy and you could just reach into the computer and pull it out and eat it. That sounds very Willy Wonka. It also sounds very good. Let's get to work on that.
Ok, that is all for today. I hope you enjoy the Columbus day if you have it off.
I'm going to melt some gummy worms.
Enjoy!

Not The Box!
Did you know Dina keeps old boyfriends in a box? It's true. She said it! We were talking about her first boyfriend and she said she wanted to see what he looked like when they dated and she went to her memory box, which apparently is huge, to see. My first thought was, "Wow...there must be a LOT of pictures of old boyfriends to warrant such a large box." To which Dina replied, "Actually, it's just the old boyfriends." HA! That's scary.
Is it ok to keep a box of memories from old boyfriends? I guess guys might not care as much, but if a girl ever sees pictures of a guy's ex, I'm sure she would give him a stern look.
Anyways, it's Friday! I hope you have wonderful plans for your weekend.
And be careful guys, you don't want Dina putting you in the box.
Oh, and be here for the conundrum at 8:50 on Monday morning. If somebody gets the right answer, there is going to a throw-down. Me versus Dina. It's going to be crazy.
I'm off to get ready for battle.
Enjoy!

see-me-P-O!

That was at the Big E. Pretty rad, right? He was made out of Lego blocks.
Speaking of being a geek, you should watch "The Big Bang Theory" on CBS. They are so much like me, except I'm not a genius like they are. Though, I have had arguments about Superman and other superheroes just like the guys on the show.
It was funny because I had on my superman pj's and Sheldon was wearing the exact same Superman shirt! Isn't that cool? Yes. Yes it is.
That's all today. I have to save up $300 so I can buy the entire series of Star Trek: The Next Generation on DVD. You can donate to the fund if you'd like. I take cash, personal checks and gold-pressed latinum (it's from Star Trek).
Sorry this post was full of geekness...sometimes I just have to let it out.
I'm off to the holodeck (another Star Trek reference).
Engage! (another one...I'm so sorry!)

Crushin'
I don't know if you've heard, but we're giving away tickets to see Hairspray at the Springfield Symphony Hall. The fun thing is that we are making people tell us about their first crush to win tickets. It's been fun so far. If you want to share your story, please do! I can't give you tickets here, but we'd still love to hear about it!
We also talked about people finishing their holiday shopping already! What!!!!! How can you possibly be done?! Dina is done. It just doesn't make any sense. How does anybody even start before National Bosses Day (Oct. 16)? That's just crazy. Have you finished your holiday shopping already?
I think stores should NOT be allowed to promote more than one holiday at a time. That should be national law. In fact, I am making it a law right now. I studied law-making in college and know that as long as something is written down, it becomes law. That's just the way it works. It seems silly and the reason a lot of laws aren't followed is because of scissors.
That's all I got today. I don't know what I'm rambling about, so I should go.
I'm off to make some new laws. "From this day forth, all candy will be given to Lopez. Thank you."

The Big E
I went to the Big E on Friday and had a wonderful time. I've never really gone to get food there before. I went once a few years ago to see Journey play, but that was it. This time I ate and followed Dina's list.
I found out that fried tempura, fried cheese curds, sweet potato fries and New Hampshire kettle corn are all awesome! Those were a few of my favorite things.
I also kicked butt on skee-ball. I had to get 200 to win a prize. My first game was just a warm-up. I got 190. The second game, well, let's just say that I BLEW IT UP! Actually, I picked the machine with the broken winner buzzer. Yeah, so I made up for it with big "Take that Skee-Ball!!!". Then I got a big frog that my date got to carry around.
If you didn't know, there is a finesse to skee-ball. It's a smooth bump off the left side to ricochet into the middle hole. I've got the flava when it comes to skee-ball.
That's my big news. Dina and I fought about Big E food on and off the air. I was not impressed with the Maine baked potato and the cream puff. Dina is convinced that my taste buds are just wrong. They were both good, but nothing special that I can't get anywhere else.
Well, I'm off to skool some skee. I have no idea what that means, but it's fun to say.
Enjoy!

Dina is SICK!!!
Dina is sick. I think tomorrow I'll use an oxygen tank so I don't have to use the same air that Dina is expelling. Her kids were sick and now she has a sore throat. That made her less fun off the air. Sometimes I'm silly off the air and today Dina would just put her head down on the table instead of telling me to be quiet. I guess that's actually better. I don't have to hear all of her yapping! HA! (please don't tell her I said that, she'll come near me and cough on me or something)
Hopefully she will feel better tomorrow. Her sore throat made it hard for her to talk on the air, and we don't want her shushin' up.
Make sure you join us tomorrow because I'm going to sound sexy. Well, machines will make me sound sexy. It'll all make sense tomorrow.
And if you ever write a comment, sometimes, when I'm smart, I'll respond with a response (really? respond with a response? that's the best I could come up with??? what else would I respond with? a carrot?). I just want to make sure you know that I'm not ignoring them!
I'm off to get my anti-bodies all pumped up for a fight. They have a strict weight-lifting regimen.

muh moooffff iffff foofff
We then talked (without food in our mouth) about marriages only lasting 7 years. That's what they want to do in Germany. Then, you can go for another 7 years if you want, but they give you an out. Brilliant! That would save so many divorces! I always thought marriage should be a four-year lease, but 7 seems fair too. If you heard, the average marriage only lasts 8 years now, so 7 seems like a good time to get out.
What do you think? Genius or stupid? "Till death do you part" sounds so morbid. "Till the last season of Heroes ends" makes so much more sense!
I'm off to hide from the angry women.

More Wedding Bliss
Never let it be said that June is wedding month. I've never gone to a wedding in June. They have all been in August and September. Mostly September. I went to another one this weekend that was very nice. Not as eventful as my last wedding, which is probably a good thing. I did dance like a crazy meerkat, though. And meerkats are ridiculously good dancers.
The BIG news is that Heroes starts again tonight! Oh yeah. And you have a chance to win that HD DVD player if you answer our questions tomorrow morning.
That's about all I have to say today. I have to get a lot of work done, so I hope you all have a wonderful day today.

Oh, Jason Bateman *swoon*
I won't got into detail about what happened in the dream because, well, this is a family blog.
Dina couldn't even remember what he looked like, but knew it was him. He's not super famous anymore. I don't remember many dreams, but I'm pretty sure I've never dreamt about somebody famous. I usually just dream about being Spider-Man or something. You know, saving the world and stuff.
Anybody out there have dreams with somebody famous in them? You could just be dreaming that you went to lunch with Brad Pitt. It can be any sort of dream. Let us know!
That's all today. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Clothes are supposed to match????
Dina didn't match today. I didn't say that on the air because she said she would hit me. She didn't say anything about the blog, though!
Yeah, she woke up late or something and came in all mixed up. Whatever. She was happy that her skirt felt too big, though. Her diet seems to be working. Next time you see Dina, tell her she looks thinner. She's doing a good job.
Survivor starts tonight. I'll let you know if I like anybody on the show this season. I felt a little bored last season except for the fact that Earl and Yao Man were really cool. Yeah, that's how I judge reality shows. I need awesome people to be there if they want my awesome time of day!
So, I hope you heard the news, the secret sound is back! It's going to be fun hearing all of your guesses about what the sound is.
That's all for today, I have to go get my car. She was shaking yesterday. Which is kind of like me. Yeah, if you didn't know, I have the shakes. Maybe I'll explain that someday, but next time you need somebody to thread a needle, DO NOT ask me, it'll take about three hours. Not fun.
I'm off to get some fries for that shake (HA!)

Did anybody watch Beauty and the Geek last night? I love that show. I'm such a geek. I'm sure I'd have a fun time with those geeks on the show. We know how to party with some comic books and a 20-sided die. We can roll it to see how much fun we can have...wow...that's a really geeky thing to say. I'd probably cooler if I talked about shoes, right?

Dina broke it...
Dina broke her chair! HA! It was funny. About ten seconds before we went on the air, Dina was leaning back and we heard a pop sound and Dina almost fell over. It was funny! If you heard that moment on the air, you probably heard us laughing before we started talking. It was great.
Anyways, we have a new printer/fax machine for the FM studio! Yeah! It works now! We're so excited. If you want to fax us something, you can send it to 413-733-WMAS (9627). We'd love to start getting faxes in there again. Make sure you tell us that it's for the Morning Crew.
We love the emails and phone calls and blog posts too. They are all great! But you can fax us pictures. That would be fun!
Dina and I are going to have a little art competition coming up soon, too.
OH! AND a big announcement on Thursday at 7:05! It's good stuff.
I have to go prepare for my big night of beauty and the geek. It's going to have a geek girl on this season.
Oh, and be careful of lettuce. I hear it's on the prowl again. It has these claws that give you E. coli when it hits you. Dangerous stuff.

Big E
If you are going to the Big E, here is Dina's special list of things to get. I believe you are supposed to get them in this order, too.
Maine baked potato
Vermont baked apple pie – a la mode
Rhode Island pumpkin fudge
Fried tempura
Crazy topping pizza slice
Big E Cream Puff
Éclair
Fried dough with chocolate
Broccoli soup and bread bowl
Cheese curds
Garlic bread with cheese
Mini donuts
White hut slider
Egg roll
Waffle sundae
What's your favorite thing at the Big E? Let us know! We'd love to hear about it and then Dina will go eat it. Seriously...
That is all for me. I have to go find Dina's stretch pants.

Resistance in Futile
We had a good time with Gary this morning. He's a great psychic. I asked him if I would be eating candy later today and he said yes. Guess what! I did! Already! How cool is that!
If you look online for fashion tips from Fashion Week in New York, don't follow them! All the pictures I've seen are of the ugliest clothes EVER! I don't get who would wear this stuff. It's all so hideous. I'm all for jeans and a t-shirt. If your dress is all fluffy like sea-foam, no thanks! I do LOVE that color though. :)
I saw the coolest thing yesterday at the gym. Somebody has a license plate with "The Borg" written on it. How cool is that! You don't know who the Borg are??????!!!!!! That means you haven't watched enough Star Trek. If the Borg are here on earth, we better watch out because "resistance in futile."
Don't forget to listen for our Big E food song tomorrow. It's called "When Dina Eats" and it's awesome.
I'm out for today. I've got a few fun things ready to post for the next few days, so keep an eye out!
I have to go set my phasers to stun.

HA! How did they know I was in town? If you look really closely, you can see some muscle, too. Impressive right?
Well, I'm not the only dufus around here. If you didn't hear the story, Dina used conditioner all last week instead of shampoo. She said her hair was nice and greasy. That sounds awesome. Or totally gross. I don't know if conditioner actually cleans your hair or not, but I'm guessing it doesn't.
We've something good in the works for all you wonderful listeners. It's a song about the Big E! Yeah! It's going to be a good time. Listen for it on Friday.
I think that's all I have time for.

sorry
Well, I don't know if you heard about the "apology maker" that we talked about this morning, but in case you ever need to say you're sorry, it could help!
Go to www.karmafarm.com and check out the apology maker for both men and women. Actually, the women one isn't really an apology. Something about women never having to say their sorry. Yeah, I don't get it either. Dina tried to explain it, but I forgot to pay attention to her. A little warning, some naughty words are on the site, just in case you have kids around.
Tomorrow you'll want to hear about the "gun show" in town. Oh yeah. It's good stuff.
I'm off to lock and load.

old friends and ice cream
First, I want to say that I cannot post the conundrum on here because that would give people more opportunities to figure out the answer, and we want to make it more of a challenge! If you can only hear us read it at 8:50, that makes it sooooo much harder! Tomorrow is day number 5! That means somebody is going to get five days worth of prizes or it goes away forever. Make sure you listen to the clue at 6:05 because it will make the answer so easy. We want somebody to win.
I hope everybody had a good weekend. I went to a wedding in Vermont. It was fun. I saw some friends from High School who I haven't talked to in at least 7 years. That's a long time! We were all pretty much the same. One of them even has two kids! I can't believe it. I had a good time. We'll be talking about the wedding tomorrow. Some weird stuff happened. We'll want to hear your stories tomorrow.
I also got some Ben and Jerry's ice cream because the wedding was near the store in Vt. I got a scoop of the cinnamon bun ice cream and the coffee coffee buzz buzz buzz ice cream. They tasted great together! You should have both of them. So good.
That's about it for today. I'm sure I'll blab more soon. Things are settling down a little here.
I'm off to hunt for some more ice cream.

wow...I've been lazy
Anyways, still being lazy, I talked about what your personality is based on where you put your hands on the steering wheel and I had some requests to post that info. Well, here it is!
How you grip your steering wheel reveals your personality.
ONE HAND ON THE CENTER SPOKE & THE OTHER ON THE WHEEL RIM
If you drive like this, you are elegant and artistic and polite with strangers. You're a bit of a "Sunday driver" who is also well mannered and always open to advice.
HANDS AT THREE AND NINE O'CLOCK ON THE WHEEL
If you drive like this, you like order, efficiency and simplicity. You use your imagination to unwind, especially in traffic, and you are known as a reliable employee around the office. You always believe, "slow and steady wins the race."
HANDS CLOSE TOGETHER AT THE TOP OF THE WHEEL
You are authoritative, anxious and like to worry. You sometimes take on impossible tasks and don't always trust others. You are loyal to the few friends you have and are slow when it comes to love and business.
HANDS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE STEERING WHEEL
If you drive like this, you fear disappointment and hate letting others down. You have a tendency to shift gears quickly and change your mind which often confuses your friends. You are sincere and vulnerable.
ONE ELBOW OUT THE WINDOW AND ONE HAND ON THE STEERING WHEEL
You are quick, agile and optimistic. You have lots of energy and make friends easily. In the past, you sometimes have been too casual with lovers.
There you go, and I also talked about what dumb moments we've had in our lives where you slap yourself on the forehead and say "wow...that was dumb".
I had a TON of phone calls. Anybody want to post their stories? Go ahead!
That's it for now. I'll try to get better about posting. Thanks for putting up with me as I do the show alone this week. It's been wacky.

These aren't tears, they're manly eye..sweat...gross...
So, I guess there is no manly way to describe tears, but if you can think of one, please let me know!
It was a pretty good movie too. I liked it. What about you? Any movie make you cry a lot? More than the usual sad movie? We want to know!

Back To School
We talked about what kids "had" to have before they went back to school and it's the usual stuff. Little kids want stuff with Sponge Bob or Disney Princess. Older kids want high tech stuff.
I don't really remember my first day of school. From any year. I do remember a picture I have in a Ghostbusters shirt with my lunchbox getting ready for a big day at school. I look small in the picture, so I think it's a long time ago.
I don't remember asking for anything before school started. I think I was just one of those kids who didn't ask for anything. Though, my mom might say the opposite, but I'm sure she's getting me confused with my siblings (yeah, right).
I think my favorite thing was getting new shoes. I actually still get a new pair every year around this time. It makes it feel like the first day of school again.
What did you "have" to have for your first day? Did you ever get it, or did you just beg a lot?
With that, I think it's time I got some new shoes! I'll talk to you tomorrow!

Aliens or med students?
Well, I had a weird dream this weekend. I dreamt I was having some sort of surgery done to me. I can't remember what it was, but I remember having the crazy dream. Then I woke up thinking I was in a hospital bed. Luckily I was just in my own bed. Unluckily, I did not really have a bed pan, so I had to get up.
I think when people have dreams like that, they are abducted by aliens! That or med students who need the practice. Either way, I think I have some sort of implant in me so they can keep tabs on me. Spooky!
I'm sure some folks out there have had some weird dreams. What has happened to you? I never dream that I'm a super hero or anything like that. Anybody out there ever dream that? Let me know!
I have to go. I guess some men all in black are here to talk to me. I wonder what they want...

Canada Candy...or Canandy
Here's what they do in Canada (sort of). They take two yummy candy options and say, "Hey, wouldn't be awesome if we just put these two great things together?"
Would you like to know the answer? IT'S "YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It would be awesome!"
The Wunder bar is caramel and peanut butter crunch, like eating a Caramello and Butterfinger at the same time.
Mr. Big is a fun bar I tried. All they did was shove a vanilla wafer inside of a Payday. Seriously! It's awesome too!
Then I tried a Coffee Crisp. This is really good. It's just coffee flavored wafer covered in chocolate. So good.
I forgot the name of one of the bars I had. BUT, I'll explain it to you. When I think of Malted Milk Balls, I think of Whoppers. You know that inside "malted?" part? (I guess that's the malting process). Well, do that with caramel, and that was another great bar.
Finally! The bar that you can sometimes get in the International section of the supermarket is the Aero Bar. It's just a chocolate bar with air bubbles in it. Silly you say? Well, for some reason, air bubbled chocolate tastes fabulous. They have it in Mint and Caramel. All flavors are good.
Find them all. Eat them all. Repeat if necessary (which it is).
I hope I've put everybody in the mood for candy. What is you favorite candy? I would love to find out!
Also, a little F.Y.I., I heard that Canada has different "regulations" for their jelly bean ingredients, so I don't know if they taste different, but I am going to find out someday. I like candy research.
I've blabbed enough, it's time to shush up and eat something with sugar.

beautiful hair
My NEW hair dryer is red and sexy. It also came with attachments. I kid you not! A diffuser and a concentrator. I prefer the concentrator. I spent, like, an hour at Target in the hair dryer section making sure it had a concentrator.
It's sad to see the old one go, but she was tough, so it's ok.
That's all I got today. I did buy some rainbow twizzlers also. I'm having a torrid affair with them these days. It'll pass when I find a new candy to drool over.
Oooh...I'll have to tell you about Canadian Candy. I forgot to do that. Maybe tomorrow...
Enjoy!

Legends
I know most, if not all, of you don't really know who he is, but you should check him out. He and Todd did a comic called Tellos that you should buy and read to your children. It's an all-ages fantasy story that is perfect for the family.
You can get a collection of the Tellos comics soon. I'll let you know. Before that, you can check out some websites to see how cool he was.
Mike's Website: http://www.mikewieringo.com/
Todd's Blog: http://perhapanauts.blogspot.com/
I could go on a while about his awesome art, but hopefully you'll check it out.
Enjoy

Heroes (not the TV show, even though that is awesome)
I hope everybody had a wonderful week. I saw that Dina posted once. Not too bad, Dina.
Well, on vacation, I saw pretty flowers in Halifax. It was cool. I saw a bunch of other stuff too, but I really can't remember it. Hopefully it'll all come back to me. It's too early to remember vacation and when you're back at work, it's like you never left. Oh well...
Anyways, I saw that kids picked their parents as their heroes in a recent poll. Yeah, not Spider-Man or Superman, but their parents! Now, unless your parents are Spider-Man, I don't get it. That's just silly. My parents might be cool, but I don't think they've ever saved the universe from certain destruction. If they did, they didn't tell me.
It is good to see people pick their parents, though. Who would you pick?
I'm off to fight Galactus. Avengers Assemble!

Laziness...or meetings..
Well, I'm sorry I've been slacking on the posts this week. We had a LOT of meetings going on. I won't say why, but let's say that it was stinky! Like old sweaty sock stinky. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about.
I hope I get to see a HUGE lego guy like the one we talked about this morning. How cool would that be? Finding a huge lego guy on the beach? How do you lose an eight foot tall lego man? Maybe it's from the land of giants and to them, it's the size of a lego man for us, so losing it is easy. That makes complete sense. I'm glad I figured that out.
Well, I have to get a lot of work done so I can go home and pack for my trip. I have my fake canadian money and I'm ready to buy Wunderbars. WHAT?!?!?! You don't know what a Wunderbar is???? Well, it is heaven put in candy bar form. Think of combining a caramello and a butter finger and mix it with a cup of awesome and you have a Wunderbar. You can only get them in Canada. So, go to the border, buy some and enjoy.
Hopefully Dina will find the time to post a few times next week. I know Paul won't. I TRIED to teach him how, but it was hard:
Me, "See, Paul, this is a keyboard."
Paul, "A cupboard? I thought I put food in the cupboard?"
Me, "No...a KEY-BOARD. It's for typ....aw forget it...DINA! You got blog duty!"
Ok. I'll post when I get back. If something cool happens while I'm on vacation. I'll let you know! Hopefully they will let me cross the border. There was that one time I....oops, gotta go!

Mug, Freebies and Books...Oh MY!
Well, I had a lot of questions in the last post, so here are some answers!
The book we talked about on Monday is "The Playskool Toddler's Busy Play Book" by Robin McClure. Actually, it looks like Playskool is putting out a bunch of toddler books. If you find one, you might find them all. Good luck!
The next person wanted to know the answer to the 7:15 Freebie on Tuesday. The phrase was "You eeeeediot!". That is from "Ren and Stimpy"! One of my most favoritest shows ever! Happy, Happy, Joy Joy!
FINALLY! I got a mug. Oh yes. A mug to end all mugs! A mug to give mugs a great name in history! A MUG TO PUT OTHER MUGS TO SHAME IN THE ACT OF MUGGING!!!! It's a Yoda mug. It's awesome. Yoda is in attack mode when he's about to beat on the the emperor in the senate. It's from Episode 3. I love the old Star Wars episodes better, BUT Yoda is hardcore in the new ones. I mean seriously, did you see Episode 2? The way he whips around with his light saber? You really can't get much better than that.
now i want a light saber...to stir the tea in my AWESOME MUG!!!!!!
I'll be quiet now. Whew. I'm off to my Jedi training.
May the Force be with you.

Just Get A Leash
We talked to a lady this morning about a bunch of great ideas to keep your toddler occupied. I say just get a leash, put the kid in the back yard and put out a dish of food. If the rugrat complains, well, you won't hear it because you're indoors!
Anybody got any other great ideas to keep toddlers occupied? For all sorts of occasions like outdoor summer play or rainy days. Let us know.
Now go enjoy the day!

Hamster Dancing
Somebody asked about the Friday Song. Well, for legal reasons, we cannot play a song that we used to call the "Friday Song". It's long and weird. BUT! I did play the Hamster Dance today hoping that would get people excited! It always works for me.
That's about it for today. I hope you Hamster Danced your way to work today and that it keeps you pumped for the weekend. I'll be back on Monday and hopefully I'll have a new mug. Oh yeah...I'm hoping to get a new mug soon. I don't know why. Sometimes you just have to buy something, right?
Enjoy!

Manly flowers
A gal asked if it was ok to send a guy flowers. What do you think? I see no problem with that. As long as they are manly flowers! I don't know what a manly flower is, but there has to be some sort of tough flower out there. Like a flower that beats up other flowers.
What do you think?
I'm off to get some work done. It's one of those tired days. Enjoy the nice weather!

Big Yellow Movie
Did anybody see the Simpsons Movie this weekend? It did really well! I didn't see it yet, but I would like too. Somebody asked me which character I'm most like on the show and it's probably Comic Book Guy. I may not be as geeky as he is, but I'm pretty darn close. Who do you think you're like? It would be fun to see what some people think!
Also, somebody asked if I would get some pictures or video of my play online. Well, I don't know if it's legal to post the video, but I'm sure I can get some pictures to put up. I'll see what I can do.
That's all for today! I'll talk to you all again tomorrow. Enjoy!

I know I'll get hit for this
Next week Paul is out and it will just be me and Dina. If you read the previous post, Dina is cranky from her diet, so I don't need you to give me any diet tips, but rather, give me tips on how to deal with a cranky Dina! I know I'm going to need a lot of help! Please!!!!
I'll talk to you next week. Enjoy the hot, humid weather! yuck...

Where in the World is Lopez?
No, the Pez isn't slapped between the pages of some children's book for you to find; he's just taking a couple of days off so he can focus on his play, which I am going to see tonight. I don't know how he does it. I could never remember all those lines! People are always asking me if we rehearse what we're going to say in our show. The answer to that is no. Believe me, if we rehearsed, it would definitely sound that way. Lopez is the only one in the room who can act! Besides, it's more fun on the fly. Being a Gemini, I love the unpredictable! Of course, we do have to watch out for saying anything that could get us fined/fired/flogged.
I would like to, at this point, put out a disclaimer that if I come across unusually crabby lately, it's because of my diet. I'm trying to be healthy, and to be healthy, I have to drop a few pounds. Well, easier said than done, as we all know! It's so tempting to eat what I'm making for the kids. Doesn't a soft, warm waffle drizzled with hot syrup sound a lot better than a tiny pre-packaged carboard-dry muffin? Or some M&M cookie dough ice cream (Breyer's) with hard top as opposed to a flavor-yet-to-be-indentified dessert bar? And don't get me started on steak.... Aauuughhh!!! Well, that's a typical day for me! Sorry if I just made any of you fellow dieters drool. Hey, if you've got any diet tips for me, I would really appreciate the help. I'm only on day #4 and my stomach is screaming "hey you - why are you ignoring me??? feed me - now!!!" It's quite loud!
Thanks for any advice you can give, and have a very scrumptuous Thursday!

Thriller, baby!
I hope all is going well. If you heard the show this monrning, we talked about the inmates dancing to Thriller. Well, here's the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMnk7lh9M3o&mode=related&search=
It's a pretty impressive display!
Can you imagine doing something like this with your coworkers? Wouldn't that be fun. I think more businesses should get all their employees together and perform dances for youtube. That would be entertaining. What would you like to do? I would like to West Side Story because I like to "snap". Good times...
Have a wonderful day!

No Warrants for My Arrest
Yeah, I found that out yesterday due to some car "issues". Ahem...we'll not talk about it.
It seems that Paul and Dina are very excited about this new nickname "Pez" for me. Yeah, that doesn't thrill me. We got some great calls this morning about people having nicknames. Anybody else? Did you ever get one you loved or hated? Did you ever give one? Did they love it or hate you?
Let me know!
And tell Dina that when she is following her diet to not break stuff! hehe...she dropped some fruit on my recording equipment and made it flatline. It's ok, though, I fixed it.
Lastly, in case you were curious about the musical, here's the info. It's Urinetown: The Musical at South Hadley High School this Thurs., Fri., and Sat. at 7pm. It's rated PG and it's there to raise money for the high school theater dept. It should be a good time.
That's all for today. Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Daniel Powter?
Ever come back to work on a Monday Morning and have everything all messed up? Well, we did today. It was a very busy morning trying to get everything back to the way it's supposed to be. Microphones were messed up, the telephones were messed up, my hair was messed up. I know! That's horrible! :)
Well, that pretty much took up our whole morning. I hope your monday isn't as bad, but let me know if it is!
Enjoy!

Nasty Beans
Lopez here,
Did you hear us eat those Harry Potter jelly beans? They were NASTY! No joke. The rotten egg flavored jelly bean was the most horrible tasting thing I've ever had in my life. Dina was laughing at me and Paul as we tried all these different flavors like sardine, booger and earthworm. Gross...yech...I get all gurgley just thinking about it.
Dina then went around tricking people in the building with the jelly beans and having them try them because "she didn't know what flavors they were". HA. She got a few people to fall for it...and it was priceless! hehe
What's a good practical joke you played on somebody?
I thought I'd add a picture of Michael Knight, my Cabbage mentioned in the last post, in case people didn't believe he was real. Oh, he is.

Pretty sweet, right? He's got his mother's eyes...and his father's awesome! Ha!
Whew. What a day. I still can't get those jelly beans out of my head. I'm going to be ill for a few days, I think. What's the grossest thing you've eaten? Or...maybe you don't want to think about it again...or maybe I don't want to hear it.
Have a wonderful, and tasty, weekend!

The Cabbage Patch...Kids
Well, we were talking about what hot item did you have to have when you were a kid. Dina and I aren't too far apart in age and we both had Cabbage Patch Kids. Paul thinks they're ugly, so it seems he hasn't seen Michael Knight. No, not David Hasselhoff in Knight Rider, but rather the name I gave my awesome Cabbage. I will attempt to bring in a picture for everybody. He's cute and rocks harder than Paul could even imagine. What was the must have item for you when you were a kid?
Dina also brought in some ice cream she made all by herself. Paul got some, but didn't share because I ate the ice cream she brought in for me without sharing. So, we are now even. He did say that she made good ice cream. We all know Dina can't cook, but we know know she makes great ice cream! Too bad she can't make that for her kids every night at dinner. Well, she could, and they'd probably be happy, but I don't think it would be good for them. I wouldn't mind ice cream for dinner every night, though :)
Have a wonderful day and let me know what you HAD to have when you were a kid.

Happy Ice Cream
So, if you heard the end of the show, I have to wear a really tight shirt for my musical and a boy's large is still not tight enough. How sad is that? Oh well...Hopefully I'll magically grow muscles before the show. I doubt it, though.
Oh, and if you are interested, one of the characters in the show has really cute shoes. Yeah, they are these pink heeled peep toes (which I hope is a proper description) with little white polka dots and a bow on them. So, if you like cute shoes, you might dig them. I'll have to find out where she got them. Not for me, of course, but for you! Seriously...ahem...
That's all we got today. If anybody has any muscles I can borrow, please let me know. Thanks!

They're Heeeere
I watched a few minutes of that Victoria Beckham thing on NBC last night. She is one freaky looking lady. She looks like an alien. I only watched a scene where she was at some luncheon with a bunch of other rich women. These women were also very scary looking due to the HUGE amount of plastic surgery and lipstick. Then one lady made a dolphin sound. These are strange people.
What was funny was that Posh said she wanted an assistant who wasn't cute because she didn't want to give up any attention, but her assistant last night was very cute and million times better looking that her. Weird....
After a few minutes of that show, I got too scared to watch more. I had to go to bed and I didn't want nightmares.
Oh, and in case you are curious, I got my car inspected and got a REJECTED sticker...again. I'm always getting rejected...ho hum...hehe.
Well, I hope you all enjoy your Tuesday. If you're looking for a cool show to watch, the History channel has this show called The Universe and it's teaches you all sorts of neat things about...well...the universe! Good times.
Enjoy! We'll talk tomorrow!

Candy
Lopez here. I just wanted to make sure everybody went out and bought Skittles. The Carnival flavored Skittles. They are so good! I think they were only out for a limited time because Stop and Shop had them in the discount bin, but they are GREAT! We talked about them on the air for a moment and they really are that good. Go buy them if you love candy.
Also, go see Transformers. It is the best movie. So completely awesome. Beyond awesome. It's the coolest movie ever made. Seriously.
Dina saw Ratatouille. She said it was very funny. Sounds like a good family movie. If you have younger kids, you should probably see that instead of Transformers...but when your little ones get old enough, make them see Transformers. Force them.
If they say, "I have homework."
You say, "Too bad! You are watching this movie. It's that good. It will teach you math and english and how to be awesome."
I should be a family counselor or something.
Well, everyone enjoy your Monday! What are some of your favorite movies? Do you ever force anybody to watch them? Your children or significant other or your friends? Let us know!

Twisting my arm
Lopez here with more inside scooping. Sometimes I'll pick up a breakfast order for the folks here in the morning. It's funny because no matter who mentions it, everybody decides to order along. We usually go to Dunkin or Charlie's to get something. So, today, the morning guy on our sister station AM 1450, John, wanted food, so Paul and Dina, after some "armtwisting", went right along. Always a good time.
I'm boring because I follow a pretty strict diet. Not diet as in trying to lose weight, but just the food I eat. So, I never get anything. I also can't afford it. Being poor and self-obsessed equals no fun for Lopez. I can sympathize with you folks who bring lunch to work everyday. And all you rich folks who can afford it...well....ptttttttt...hehe...kidding, I'm always nice to rich people so I can get scraps. :)
Well, the weekend has started for many of you! Awesome! I hope you enjoy a few days off. Unless you work weekends like I do. Then I hope your weekend working goes awesome!
Monday Morning will have some great stuff on the show. I'll give you a few hints. If you ever wanted a toilet shaped like an alligator, we'll have info about that. Also, bathing suit fun for the ladies. And they are not related...but it sure would be weird if they were!
I'll be back to post on Monday as well. I hope this gives you a nice little peek at the life here at WMAS.

Dreaming of You
Lopez here again. First of all, I am not obsessed with Dina. I am obsessed with comic books and Sara Ramirez (Callie from Grey's Anatomy), but not Dina. She just likes to get me huffy. The end.
Now, apparently Dina had a dream with ME in it. There was an event in the Bahamas and everybody from WMAS was there, but Dina and I had to share a room. I was furious with her because she was messy and I'm super clean. This is probably my kind of nightmare.
I actually lived with somebody for a while who was super messy and I practically lost it. He was a cool guy and nice friend, but left the place a mess. I had to clean....a lot. I'm sure some of you folks have some horrible roommate stories. Feel free to vent about them too!
Oh, and in case you're wondering, we ask psychic Gary McKinstry questions too. He told me that I'm just going to be working a lot. As usual. yay... Someday I'm hoping he'll say something good, but I won't keep my hopes up.
Always keep that glass half empty!

Lopez is OBSESSED with me!
Dina here! Something you should know - my berry moisturizer smells good, and have you noticed, Lopez is obsessed with me? He's obsessed with me like I am with shoes. You would think he would have better things to talk about, like how Regis Philbin was wearing red dress pants today (what was he thinking?), but no, he is blathering on about ME! It's all about ME when it comes to Lopez! Should I be worried?
Anyway, enough about Lopez loving me.... Welcome to our blog, clog, whatever it is! I hope you'll share some of your thoughts with us, or perhaps come to my defense when the guys gang up on me from time to time.
I have to go and slap somebody now. And after I slap him, I'm going to smear gobs of berry cream all over him!
And my tan does look good, by the way, thanks to my moisturizer!
Later all!
p.s. sometimes the best thing to do is just look in the mirror and say "what shoes go with this stress" - Hallmark
Dina Stinks....hehehehe
Lopez here.
Ok, so Dina is trying to keep her tan looking fab. SO, she's been using this moisturizer (she says that it helps keep the tan looking good). It smells like berries. Like I just jumped into a pool full of berries. It's a little strong, but I guess I can't complain because now the studio, the hallway, the production room, the news room and the stairwell all smell like berries. Which is better than some of the smells that can happen around here.
If she reads this, I'll probably get slapped, but that's what I'm here for. A little behind the scenes action.
I hope everybody heard the song "Cows Just Wanna Have Fun" by our very own Dina McMahon. You should call in and request it if you missed it. We here at the morning crew will not get rid of it.
Did you hear about us talking about women going for buff men? What do you think ladies (or guys, whatever). Buff guy for the fun times, but then you settle down with average build guy? What do you look for? Let's keep it clean folks! I don't want to get fired.
We love you for listening!

Sputum
Sputum: (spyoo-tem) a disgusting mixture of stuff you cough up like mucus and spit and grossness.
I love this new word. If you missed the story. Katie Couric seems to hate the word because it was in one of her news reports and she SLAPPED the guy who gave her the script. Good job Katie.
I swear, I've never heard this word in my life. I don't know how I missed it. I'm so happy that I have finally heard it. It's just fun to say. Sputum....spuuuuuutum....nice...
I hope to say it more often. Are there words you LOVE to say because they are so darn fun? Like chimichanga? That's a fun word too. Send in a comment.

Our First Post
Lopez here for the first posting for the groundbreaking blog (or clog) for the Morning Crew.
This will be a fun little way for us to chat with the audience in another way. Maybe you don't want to call in but still want to say something. You can do it here!
We will all try to post things here. Though Paul may not be able to figure out the computer, but we'll try to teach him.
You can post anything you want. If you want to yell at me after I criticize your favorite TV show, please do! I'm ok with that.
Hopefully we will have a wonderful, happy time online.
It's about time we tried this...
