S.T.E.A.L.T.H cast of characters
Saturday 07-05-2008 1:13pm ET
As promised, I am going to introduce Jessica's partner in crime, Corey. For all intents and purposes relating to the dream, we will call him Scuba Steve. Corey is also an online content manager by day for 570 WWNC, 880 The Revolution, and 1400 the Peak. Between the two of them they are the masters of mayhem and controllers of chaos that keep the ones and zeroes in line for the websites you enjoy. Without their sharp (warped?) minds and even sharper wits, you would only have blank screen to look at, and absolutely no Hot American Girls galleries (for all you Rock fans). While their work seems as though it is behind the scenes, don't be fooled for they control the content! They control you. If it weren't for their good concience and desire to do good, mere mortals would be no match. Scuba Steve mostly works behind the scenes during the course of the adventure to make sure things run smoothly as possible. His superpowers are similar to Aquaman, but way cooler. He can balance, weave, and dodge. He can stay under water for.EVER. However for some reason he still wears his scuba gear. I think maybe the reason for wearing the gear, despite his abilities, is simply that it looks totally cool. I mean check it out. How could you NOT think that it's cool?........................................
Operation STEALTH

So the other night I had this totally bizarre dream. In order for me to be able to do justice by it, I will have to begin by introducing a cast of characters each day. The reason for this is two fold. One, if I did it any other day this would be the longest blog. EVER. and by longest, I don't mean wordy, just actually long space-wise. And two, I am hoping that you will wait in anticipation each day to see who will be introduced next. Right? Okay. My co-workers coexist peacefully each day in a room known as the "jock lounge" or "talent room." While there are several talented indivudals that are in here, I am not one of them. This bizarre dream that I had mostly consisted of people whom I interact with on a daily basis and truly apreciate...however, this does not quite exxplain why they turned up in a dream in quite the way that they did. The first character is Jessica. She is a online content manager for Rock 104 and Star 104 by day. By night she is a crime fighting, world saving person with super hero powers. She is about 3 feet tall and flies. All the time. In fact, she never actually sits down because she is too busy saving things.  This is Jessica flying through my dream. She is the voice of "Don't kill each other, you're supposed to be killing the bad guys," and has the power to turn those who oppose her into a bug. As the dream begins to unfold, stay tuned tomorrow to find out who her partner is, and every day after that to learn the Rest of the Story! (Yes ther actually IS a story line, and this was a real dream)Do they have dastardly plans for the rest of us? Just who IS Agnes' superhero identity? Will we save world together with ourhero powers? Find out in the next episode of Specifically Targeted Enforcement Against Law-breaking Two-wheeled High-end offenders, or Operation S.T.E.A.L.T.H.
Injustice ends here

Finally. There is justice in the world. After decades of discomfort and mistreatment there is a real innovation to provide a real solution. Finally there are waterbeds for cows. Thanks to the ingenuity of Advanced Comfort Technologies, cows will no longer have to suffer from conventional bovine beds. After interviweing several pannels of cows, I have found that they do indeed prefer the cow watebeds over traditional spring matteresses 10 to 1. So now you may rest as easy as they do, knowing that they can blissfully float in style and comfort. Now all they need is a couple of flat screens and a cow sized remote for hours of pure bovine bliss!
