Hip 30/40 year old: Hello I'm a PC.
Burnt out 20 year old: Smokes ...something "I'm...a....watch you call it...
PC: Mac
Mac: Yeah, whatever.
PC: I am campaigning to be your computer
Mac: So am I.
PC: I run a campaign based on my abilities.
Mac: I run my champaign based on spreading hate. Misconceptions, lies and making my opponent into a stereotype.
PC: I have too many things to say why should pick me to say anything about my opponent.
Mac: I don't have enough good points, so all I can do is to try to make you hate mine.
PC: I trust the public to make fair unbiased choices based on reason and facts.
Mac: I don't trust them to use their brains, which is why I try to make myself so easy to understand a lobotomized caveman can work me, instead I rely on making them go on emotions. Sure they may regret their descriptions later but hey why should I care, as long as they found out after they picked me, I couldn't give a flipping mushroom about those idiots.
PC: You do know your mic is on?
Mac: Well what can you expect? When everything is so integrated it's work with faulty equipment, or don't work at all.
PC: Well there you are people, we said all we can say, now the choice is yours.
IJ Dee-Vo: Wait A penguin, wearing a golden medallion has just entered IJ Studios and handed us a card. There is writing on it.
Hello in these trying times, PC and Mack are offering themselves as the paths out of the dark woods that we are lost in and into the rising sun. However they each have neglected all of the twits and turns that their paths contain. Mac claims to be the source of salvation, but the reality is, it promises this to far more then those that will be covered. Mac asks for increased prices, for similar results. In this economy can we really afford this? Mac tactics consist solely on spreading lies, half-truths, and hatred. PC may seem to be taking the high ground but have you look at who's been cozying up with this candidate. Big Business. That is right. Big business and PC have been long time partners, and in these days of the struggling cottage industry can you afford an allegiance with this giant. The fact is the PC owns the Earth, and most of the moon. Now that is scary. Isn't there another way, another path. One that will save more then the chosen few, or one does not have to sell out to get by? I humbly offer a third choice. Unlike Mac I am willing to work with all sides to make the world a better place. Unlike PC I have always been a big supporter of smaller institutions. From personal use, to research institutions, I have been helping others whether it involves being deep within the Earth or out amongst the stars. Unlike my two opponents I do not require heavy final backings, so you can be sure I won't be answering to special interest groups. So please check me out. I'm user friendly, I work well with others, and you won't have to pay an arm and a leg for my services.

My fellow Americans, in these troubled times, we need someone who will be able to lead us back into an era of prosperity. Mario Mario says he is this person but is he? Look at his track record. He is an advert user of shrooms is that the type of remodel that you want a generation of Americans to grow up with? Even in the most urgent of situations, he is slow to react. He has taking gifts from special interests groups, and now even his nationality is in question. He may eve have mafia ties. Tell me is he the man you want in the white house? But there is another choice, a better choice . Sonic T. Hedgehog is always quick to rise to the occasion. He opposes big corporations polluting our environment. He won't give up, won't compromise, but he's not out of control, he's living by his own word. He has never flipped his stand against dictators, and has himself fought toe to toe in the battle field. He has shown both the ability to work alone as well with others towards his goals on making the world a place for everyone. Remember you can not have the red and white without the blue.

Richard William "Rick" Wright
Richard William "Rick" Wright (28 July 1943 – 15 September 2008) was a pianist and keyboardist best known for his career with Pink Floyd.Wright's richly textured keyboard layers were a vital ingredient and a distinctive characteristic of Pink Floyd's sound. In addition, Wright frequently sang background and occasionally lead vocals onstage and in the studio with Pink Floyd (most notably on the songs "Time", "Echoes", and on the Syd Barrett composition "Astronomy Domine").
Though not as prolific a songwriter as his bandmates Roger Waters and David Gilmour, he wrote significant parts of the music for classic albums such as Meddle, The Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here, as well as for Pink Floyd's final studio album The Division Bell.
Biography
Early life and career
Wright, whose father was head biochemist at Unigate Dairies, grew up in Hatch End, North London and was educated at the Haberdashers' Aske's School and the Regent Street Polytechnic College of Architecture. There he met fellow band members Roger Waters and Nick Mason, was a founding member of The Pink Floyd Sound (as they were then called) in 1965, and also participated in its previous incarnations, Sigma 6 and The (Screaming) Abdabs.
In the early days of Pink Floyd, Wright was a prominent musical force in the group (although not as much as Syd Barrett, the band’s chief songwriter and front man at the time) and he wrote and sang several songs of his own during 1967–1968. While not credited as a singer on The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, he sang lead on Barrett-penned songs like "Astronomy Domine" and "Matilda Mother", as well as notable harmonies on "Scarecrow" and "Chapter 24". Examples of his early compositions include "Remember a Day", "See-Saw", "Paint Box" and "It Would Be So Nice". As the sound and the goals of the band evolved, Wright became less interested in songwriting and focused primarily on contributing his distinctive style to extended instrumental compositions such as "Interstellar Overdrive", "A Saucerful of Secrets", "Careful with That Axe, Eugene", "One Of These Days" and to musical themes for film scores (More, Zabriskie Point and Obscured by Clouds). He also made essential contributions to Pink Floyd's long, epic compositions such as "Atom Heart Mother", "Echoes" (on which he sang lead vocals) and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond". His most commercially popular compositions are "The Great Gig in the Sky" and "Us and Them" from 1973's The Dark Side of the Moon.[2] He also contributed significantly to other mid-period Floyd classics like "Breathe" and "Time", singing lead vocals on alternate verses of the latter with David Gilmour.
Wright recorded his first solo project, Wet Dream, and released it in September 1978 with minimal commercial success. Battling both personal problems and an increasingly rocky relationship with Roger Waters, he was forced to resign from Pink Floyd during The Wall sessions by Waters, who threatened to pull the plug on the album's tapes if Wright did not leave the band. However, he was retained as a salaried session musician during the subsequent live concerts to promote that album in 1980 and 1981. Ironically, Wright became the only member of Pink Floyd to profit from those hugely spectacular shows, since the net financial loss had to be borne by the three remaining "full-time" members. He was the only member of the band not to attend the 1982 premiere of the film version of The Wall. In 1983, Pink Floyd released the only album on which Wright does not appear with The Final Cut.
Later life and career
During 1984, Wright formed a new musical duo with Dave Harris (from the band Fashion) called Zee. They signed a record deal with Atlantic Records and released only one album, Identity, which was a commercial and critical flop. Wright rejoined Pink Floyd following Waters' departure. Because of legal and contractual issues from his "hired gun" status during The Wall world tour, Wright's photo was not included in the 1987 album A Momentary Lapse of Reason and his name was listed in smaller letters than Mason and Gilmour. By the time of the Momentary Lapse world tour and the 1988 live album The Delicate Sound of Thunder, Wright was contractually a member of Pink Floyd once again. In 1994, he co-wrote five songs and sang lead vocals on one song ("Wearing the Inside Out") for the next Pink Floyd album, The Division Bell. This recording provided material for the double live album and video release P*U*L*S*E in 1995. Wright, like Nick Mason, performed on every Pink Floyd tour.
In 1996, inspired by his successful input into The Division Bell, Wright released his second solo album, Broken China, including contributions from Sinéad O'Connor on vocals, Pino Palladino on bass, Manu Katché on drums, Dominic Miller (known from his guitar work with Sting) and Tim Renwick, another Pink Floyd associate, on electric guitar. Broken China was considered to be a more focused and artistically successful work than Wet Dream and marked a new phase in Richard Wright's modus operandi, with extensive use of computer-based recording and production techniques, assisted by Anthony Moore with whom he co-wrote the album's lyrics.
On 2 July 2005, Wright, Gilmour, Mason were joined by Waters on stage for the first time since the Wall concerts for a short set at the Live 8 concert in London. Wright underwent eye surgery for cataracts in November 2005, preventing him from attending Pink Floyd's induction into the UK Music Hall of Fame. Roger Waters, who was also unable to attend the band's induction due to rehearsals for the opening of his opera Ça Ira in Rome, appeared in video link and stated, tongue-in-cheek:
“ Rick actually hasn't had an eye operation, he and I have eloped to Rome and we're living happily in a small apartment off the Via Veneto ”
Wright contributed keyboards and background vocals to David Gilmour's most recent solo album, On an Island, and performed with Gilmour's touring band for over two dozen shows in Europe and North America in 2006 . On stage with Gilmour he performed piano, electric piano and synth leads with his Kurzweil K2600 workstation, Hammond organ and even his long-inactive Farfisa organ, which was resurrected especially for performing "Echoes" and a couple of Pink Floyd's and Syd Barrett's older numbers that Gilmour chose to revisit in his recent concerts. He also provided backing vocals and lead vocals (notably on "Echoes", "Time", "Comfortably Numb", "Wearing the Inside Out" "Astronomy Domine" and "Arnold Layne" - the latter released as a live single). He declined an offer to join Roger Waters and Nick Mason on Waters' The Dark Side of the Moon Live tour in order to spend more time working on a solo project.
On 4 July 2006, Wright joined Gilmour and Mason for the official screening of the P•U•L•S•E DVD. Inevitably, Live 8 surfaced as a subject in an interview. When asked about performing again, Wright replied he would be happy on stage anywhere. He explained that his plan is to "meander" along and said about playing live: “ ...and whenever Dave wants me to play with him, I’m really happy to play with him. And [to Gilmour] you’ll play with me, right? ”
Personal life
He married his first wife, Juliette Gale, in 1964. They had two children, Jamie and Gala, and divorced in 1982. He married his second wife Franka in 1984. They divorced in 1994. Wright married his third wife Millie (to whom he dedicated his second solo album Broken China) in 1996. Their only child is named Ben. In 1996 Wright's daughter Gala married Guy Pratt, a session musician who has played bass for Pink Floyd since Roger Waters' exit. In his latter years Wright lived in France and spent time on a yacht he owned in the Virgin Islands.
Death
Wright died of an undisclosed form of cancer in his home in Britain on 15 September 2008 at age 65. At the time of his death, he had been working on a new solo album, which was thought to comprise a series of instrumental pieces.
Tributes
BR> Bandmate David Gilmour said:
No one can replace Richard Wright. He was my musical partner and my friend. In the welter of arguments about who or what was Pink Floyd, Rick's enormous input was frequently forgotten. He was gentle, unassuming and private but his soulful voice and playing were vital, magical components of our most recognised Pink Floyd sound. I have never played with anyone quite like him. The blend of his and my voices and our musical telepathy reached their first major flowering in 1971 on 'Echoes'. In my view all the greatest PF moments are the ones where he is in full flow. After all, without 'Us and Them' and 'The Great Gig In The Sky', both of which he wrote, what would 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' have been? Without his quiet touch the Album 'Wish You Were Here' would not quite have worked. In our middle years, for many reasons he lost his way for a while, but in the early Nineties, with 'The Division Bell', his vitality, spark and humour returned to him and then the audience reaction to his appearances on my tour in 2006 was hugely uplifting and it's a mark of his modesty that those standing ovations came as a huge surprise to him, (though not to the rest of us). Like Rick, I don't find it easy to express my feelings in words, but I loved him and will miss him enormously.
Former bandmate Roger Waters' website was replaced with a photograph of an array of candles and poppies against a black background; one of the screen images used for the song "Wish You Were Here" in his "Dark Side of the Moon Live" Tour.
Waters issued a statement:
I was very sad to hear of Rick's premature death, I knew he had been ill, but the end came suddenly and shockingly. My thoughts are with his family, particularly [his children] Jamie and Gala and their mum Juliet, who I knew very well in the old days, and always liked very much and greatly admired. As for the man and his work, it is hard to overstate the importance of his musical voice in the Pink Floyd of the '60s and '70s. The intriguing, jazz influenced, modulations and voicings so familiar in 'Us and Them' and 'Great Gig in the Sky,' which lent those compositions both their extraordinary humanity and their majesty, are omnipresent in all the collaborative work the four of us did in those times. Rick's ear for harmonic progression was our bedrock. I am very grateful for the opportunity that Live 8 afforded me to engage with him and David [Gilmour] and Nick [Mason] that one last time. I wish there had been more.
Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason told Entertainment Weekly:
Like any band, you can never quite quantify who does what. But Pink Floyd wouldn’t have been Pink Floyd if [we] hadn’t had Rick. I think there’s a feeling now -- particularly after all the warfare that went on with Roger and David trying to make clear what their contribution was -- that perhaps Rick rather got pushed into the background. Because the sound of Pink Floyd is more than the guitar, bass, and drum thing. Rick was the sound that knitted it all together... He was by far the quietest of the band, right from day one. And, I think, probably harder to get to know than the rest of us... It's almost that George Harrison thing. You sort of forget that they did a lot more than perhaps they’re given credit for.
On 23 September 2008, David Gilmour performed Remember a Day, a Wright composition from Pink Floyd's second album, A Saucerful of Secrets (1968), on a live broadcast of Later... with Jools Holland on BBC Two as a tribute to Wright. In an interview later on in the show, Gilmour had said that Wright had intended to perform with him that day, but had sent Gilmour an SMS message couple of weeks before his death to advise him that he would not be well enough to attend. This was the first live performance of the song by any member of the band.
Influence
Wright's style fused jazz and neoclassical influences, which complemented the simple harmonic structures of the more blues and folk-based songs of Roger Waters and David Gilmour. As a keyboardist, he was more interested in complementing each piece with organ or synthesizer layers and tasteful piano or electric piano passages. Unlike his contemporaries Rick Wakeman, Tony Banks or Keith Emerson, he opted for solo playing only occasionally, notably in "Atom Heart Mother", "Echoes", "Any Colour You Like", "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" Parts 1–5 and 6–9, "Welcome to the Machine", "Dogs", "Run Like Hell" and "Keep Talking". Also notable is the first solo in Syd Barrett's "Love Song". Wright was known for his ghostly atmospheric textures such as the Leslie piano arpeggios at the beginning of "Echoes", the echoed Farfisa Organ in the live versions of "Careful with That Axe, Eugene" and "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun", the distinctive Minimoog solos in "Any Colour You Like" and, more famously, "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and the jazzy electric piano passages in "Money", "Time" and "Sheep". In "A Saucerful of Secrets" and "Sysyphus" he experimented with 'treated piano'. "Sysyphus" also made extensive use of Mellotron sounds, something of a rarity in the Pink Floyd canon. Wright also used Indian modal scales in "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" and "Matilda Mother".
Equipment
In the early days of the band, Wright dabbled with brass before settling on the Farfisa organ as his main instrument onstage (in addition to piano and Hammond Organ in the studio). For a brief period in 1969, Wright played vibraphone on several of the band's songs and in some live shows, and he even played trombone on "Biding My Time" (also dating from this experimental period). During the formative years of Pink Floyd with Syd Barrett, Wright relied heavily on his Farfisa organ, fed through a Binson Echorec platter echo, to achieve distinctive sounds that helped the band gain their "psychedelic rock" edge. He used a mellotron on "Seesaw", "Atom Heart Mother Suite", and "Sysyphus" on "Ummagumma". He started using a Hammond organ regularly onstage thereafter, and a grand piano later became part of his usual live concert setup when "Echoes" was added to Pink Floyd's regular set-list. For tours in the 1970s centering around The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall, the Farfisa was dropped (although it was brought back when Wright toured with David Gilmour on his On An Island tour), and an array of other instruments were added to the lineup, such as: Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer and Hohner electric pianos, VCS 3, Minimoog, ARP String Ensemble and Prophet 5 synthesizers. From 1987 Wright favoured Kurzweil digital synthesizers for reproducing his analogue synthesizer sounds, even though he still used his favourite Hammond C-3 organ. The one that he used with Pink Floyd at Live 8 and with David Gilmour, however, was a "portablized" version (stripped of unnecessary weight and put into a more compact casing by Keyboard Products of Los Angeles, Ca.).

IJLYMPICS
Saddly all good things must end, well except for Sonic and IJ Studios, both just go on and on and on! But that's about it and so to must end the IJlympics, which will end with a song.
Well now that the Olympic games are finally done,
The Torch put out, the medals won,
The Chinese rode around in big Wheels,
As a tower alight with living flames did appear,
A London bus arrived and rode around the tracks,
A girl walked on top of poor guys' backs,
The bus opened up to our surprise,
to revel the city of London inside,
Phelps won a gold medal times 8,
Showing at swimming he is first rate.
Pumas Usain Bolt raced towards gold,
The fastest man alive, a sight to behold,
PC went up against Mac,
Both lost to a penguin attack.
It was not Team Sonic that Proved Team Mario's doom,
But unlawful use of illegal shrooms,
The Tin Medal went to Sock Monkey,
The Bronze was Won by Tachi.
Little Mouth Won Silver, Timmy got Gold,
IJ Dee-Vo was lit with Olympic Glow.
We are all sad to see the Olympics go,
So that is all there is left of this show.
Tachi: THAT SUCKED MORE THEN THE OPENING SONG SUCKED.
IJ Dee-Vo: Really? I thought it sucked a bit less.
Tachi: TOO BAD THE SUCK METER IS STILL BROKEN FROM THE LAST SONG SO WE MAY NEVER KNOW.
And now for some very sad news that touches us like a pitchfor througfh the hear, Peanuts animator and voice of Snoopy, Bill Melendez, has died.
Bill Melendez
Animator, director and producer Jose Cuautemoc "Bill" Melendez, whose television programs and theatrical films featuring Charles Schulz's "Peanuts" characters earned four Emmy Awards, an Oscar nomination and two Peabody Awards, died Tuesday at St. John's hospital in Santa Monica, according to publicist Amy Goldsmith. He was 91.
Melendez's career extended over nearly seven decades, including stints at Walt Disney Studios, Leon Schlesinger Cartoons (which later was sold to Warner Bros.), United Productions of America and Playhouse Pictures. In 1964, he established Bill Melendez Productions, where he created his best-known works, including the holiday classic "A Charlie Brown Christmas" (1965). Over the years, his films were honored with two additional prime-time Emmys, three National Cartoonist Society awards, a Clio Award and 150 awards for commercials.
"A Charlie Brown Christmas," which Melendez and his partner Lee Mendelson produced for CBS, established the format of the half-hour animated special -- and began one of the most popular franchises in animation history.
Animating Schulz's simple drawings posed problems. "Charlie Brown has a big head, a little body and little feet," Melendez said in a 2000 interview for The Times. "Normally, a human takes a step every 16 frames -- about two-thirds of a second. But Sparky's [Schulz's] characters would look like they were floating at that pace. After several experiments, I had them take a step every six frames -- one-fourth of a second. . . . It was the only way that worked."
"A Charlie Brown Christmas" won an Emmy and a Peabody; CBS has rebroadcast it every holiday season since. Breaking with tradition, the filmmakers used an upbeat jazz score by Grammy-winning composer Vince Guaraldi and real children for the characters' voices, rather than adult actors imitating children.
Melendez supplied Snoopy's laughs, sobs and howls. Schulz insisted that as a dog, Snoopy couldn't talk. Melendez experimented with making sounds that suggested a voice and speeding them up on tape -- assuming a professional actor would do a final recording. But time ran short, and Melendez ended up serving as Snoopy's voice in 63 subsequent half-hour specials, five one-hour specials, the Saturday morning TV show and four feature films. In his later years, Melendez chuckled over the fact that he received residuals for his vocal performances.
Working with Mendelson and Schulz, Melendez brought the "Peanuts" characters to the big screen in 1969 with "A Boy Named Charlie Brown." Time magazine reported that "when 'A Boy Named Charlie Brown' sticks to a boy named Charlie Brown, it becomes a good deed in a naughty world, bright, nonviolent and equipped with an animated moral, the way Snoopy is equipped with a tail."
Three sequels followed: "Snoopy, Come Home" (1972), "Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown" (1977) and "Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (and Don't Come Back!!)" (1980).
"Bill Melendez brought his special warmth, charm and directness to the Charles Schulz characters and brought them to life," animation historian and Oscar-winning filmmaker John Canemaker said Wednesday.
Melendez also oversaw the first specials based on the comic strips "Garfield" (1982) and "Cathy" (1987), two adaptations of the "Babar" books, and an animated version of C.S. Lewis' "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" (1979). Through the London branch of his studio, he directed "Dick Deadeye, or Duty Done" (1975), rewritten fragments of Gilbert and Sullivan operettas with designs by illustrator Ronald Searle.
Born in Sonora, Mexico, Nov. 15, 1916, Melendez moved with his family to Arizona in 1928, then to Los Angeles, where he attended the Chouinard Art Institute. He was one of the few Latinos working in animation when he began his career at Walt Disney Studios in 1939, contributing to the features "Pinocchio," "Fantasia," "Bambi" and "Dumbo," as well as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck shorts.
Melendez was an active participant in the bitterly fought strike that led to the unionization of the Disney artists in 1941, after which he moved to Schlesinger Cartoons, animating Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and other classic Warner Bros. characters.
In 1948, Melendez joined United Productions of America and was delighted by the company's innovative approach to animation. "The animation we were doing was not limited, but stylized," he recalled in a 1986 interview. "When you analyze Chaplin's shorts, you realize people don't move that way -- he stylized his movements. We were going to do the same thing for animation. We were going to animate the work of Cobean, Steinberg -- all the great cartoonists of the moment -- and move them as the designs dictated."
After animating numerous UPA shorts, including the Oscar-winning "Gerald McBoing-Boing" (1951), Melendez served as a director and producer on more than 1,000 commercials for UPA, Playhouse Pictures and John Sutherland Productions. In 1959, he directed the first animation of the "Peanuts" characters for a series of commercials advertising the Ford Falcon.
"What made working in commercials fun then was the quick turnover of ideas," Melendez said. "That speed was refreshing."
Other work
In addition to animation, Meléndez was once a faculty member at the University of Southern California's Cinema Arts Department.
He is parodied in the online cartoon Homestar Runner.

Melendez is survived by his wife of 68 years, Helen; two sons, Steven Melendez and retired Navy Rear Adm. Rodrigo Melendez; six grandchildren; and 11 great grandchildren. Memorial services will be private. Donations can be made in Melendez's name to Childrens Hospital Los Angeles.
Um, well what can I say? One of the most famous animators, from one of the most famous cartoon series is gone. It's like someone lifted a continent of the Earth. Not only was he one of the most greatest animators of his time, he was a trail blazer. I just don't know what to do.

Hey a penguin got knighted in Scotland, Maybe it was the same one that appeared at the IJLympics?
Nils Olav
Sir Nils Olav is a King Penguin living in Edinburgh Zoo, Scotland. He is the mascot and Colonel-in-Chief of the Norwegian King's Guard. Nils was visited by the Norwegian King's Guard on the 15 August 2008 and awarded a knighthood. The honor was approved by the king of Norway, King Harald V. During the ceremony a crowd of several hundred people joined the 130 guardsmen at the zoo to hear a citation from King Harald the Fifth of Norway read out, which described Nils as a penguin "in every way qualified to receive the honor and dignity of knighthood".
Role in the military
When the Norwegian King's Guard visited Edinburgh Military Tattoo of 1961 for a Drill Display, a lieutenant called Nils Egelien became interested in Edinburgh Zoo's penguin colony. When the Guards once again returned to Edinburgh in 1972, he arranged for the unit to adopt a penguin. This penguin was named Nils Olav in honor of Nils Egelien, and King Olav V of Norway.
Nils Olav was given the rank of visekorporal (lance corporal) and has been promoted each time the King's Guard has returned to the Tattoo. In 1982 he was made corporal, and promoted to sergeant in 1987. Nils Olav died shortly after his promotion to sergeant, and his place of honor was taken by Nils Olav II, his two-year-old near-double. He was promoted in 1993 to the rank of regimental sergeant major. On August 18, 2005, he was promoted to Colonel-in-Chief. He is the first penguin to hold this rank in the Norwegian army. At the same time a four foot high bronze statue of Nils Olav was presented to Edinburgh Zoo. The statue's inscription recognizes the King's Guard and the Military Tattoo. A statue also stands at the Royal Norwegian Guard compound at Huseby, Oslo.
Norway presented the zoo with its first king penguin in 1913, the year of its opening.
In Norwegian he is consistently referred to only as the mascot of the King's Guard, although both the plaque on his statue, and the website of the Norwegian Government's Consulate in Edinburgh, refer to his promotion to Colonel-in-Chief.
Well that's it for this week!

IJ Dee-Vo: Sadly Another death involving the great....
TACHI : SHUT YOUR MOUTH!
IJ Dee-Vo: I was only talking about Isaac Hayes Jr.
Tachi: I CAN DIG IT.
Isaac Hayes
Isaac Lee Hayes, Jr. (August 20, 1942 – August 10, 2008[1]) was an American soul and funk singer-songwriter, musician, record producer, arranger, composer, and actor. Hayes was one of the main creative forces behind southern soul music label Stax Records, where he served as both an in-house songwriter and producer with partner David Porter during the mid-1960s. In the late 1960s, Hayes became a recording artist, and recorded successful soul albums such as Hot Buttered Soul (1969) and Black Moses (1971) as the Stax label's premier artist.
Alongside his work in popular music, Hayes was a film score composer for motion pictures. His best known work, for the 1971 blaxploitation film Shaft, earned Hayes an Academy Award for Best Original Song (the first Academy Award received by an African-American in a non-acting category) and two Grammy Awards. He received a third Grammy for the album Black Moses.
In 1992, in recognition of his humanitarian work, he was crowned an honorary king of Ghana's Ada district. Hayes also acted in motion pictures and television; from 1997 to 2006, he provided the voice for the character "Chef" on the Comedy Central animated TV series South Park.
Biography
Early years
Hayes was born in Covington, Tennessee, the second-born child of Isaac Sr. and Eula Hayes, but after their deaths was raised by his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Willie Wade, Sr. The child of a poor family, he grew up picking cotton in Covington. He dropped out of high school, only to be encouraged later by his former high school teachers at Manassas High to get his diploma, which he earned at the age of 21. He began singing at the age of five at his local church, and, soon after, he taught himself to play the piano, Hammond organ, flute and saxophone.
Stax Records and Shaft
Isaac Hayes' 1969 album Hot Buttered Soul was both a commercial success and a milestone in the development of soul music.
Hayes began his recording career in the early 1960s, as a session player for various acts of the Memphis-based Stax Records. He later wrote a string of hit songs with songwriting partner David Porter, including "You Don't Know Like I Know", "Soul Man", "When Something Is Wrong with My Baby", and "Hold On I'm Comin" for Sam and Dave. Hayes, Porter and Stax studio band Booker T. & the MGs served as the main production team for much of the label's output during the early and mid-1960s. In 1968, Hayes released his debut album, Presenting Isaac Hayes, a jazzy, largely improvised effort that was commercially unsuccessful.
His next album was Hot Buttered Soul, which was released in 1969 after Stax had gone through a major upheaval. The label had lost its largest star, Otis Redding, in a plane crash in December of 1967. Stax lost all of its back catalog to Atlantic Records in May of 1968. As a result, Stax executive vice president Al Bell called for 27 new albums to be completed in mid-1969; Hot Buttered Soul, was the most successful of these releases. This album is noted for Hayes' image (shaved head, gold jewelry, sun glasses, etc) and his distinct sound (extended orchestral songs, heavy on organs, horns, and guitars, deep bass vocals, etc). Also on the album, Hayes re-interprets "Walk On By" (which had been made famous by Dionne Warwick) into a twelve-minute exploration. "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" starts with an eight-minute long monologue before breaking into song, and the lone original number, the funky "Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic" runs nearly ten minutes, a significant break from the standard three minute soul/pop songs.
"Walk On By" would be the first of many times Hayes would take a Burt Bacharach standard, generally made famous as three minute pop songs by Dionne Warwick or Dusty Springfield, and transform it into an soulful, lengthy and almost gospel number.
In 1970, Hayes released two albums, The Isaac Hayes Movement and To Be Continued. The former stuck to the four song template of his previous album. Jerry Butler's "I Stand Accused" begins with a trademark spoken word monologue, and Bacharach's "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself" is re-worked. The latter spawned the classic, "The Look Of Love," another Bacharach song transformed into an eleven-minute epic of lush orchestral rhythm (mid-way it breaks into a rhythm guitar jam for a couple of minutes before suddenly resuming the slow love song). An edited three-minute version was issued as a single. The album also featured the instrumental "Ike's Mood," which segued into his own version of "You've Lost That Loving Feeling." Hayes released a Christmas single, "The Mistletoe and Me" (with "Winter Snow" as a B-side).
The soundtrack for the 1971 blaxploitation film Shaft remains Hayes' best-known work.
In early 1971, Hayes composed music for the soundtrack of the blaxploitation film Shaft. (in the movie, he also appeared in a cameo role as the bartender of No Name Bar). The title theme, with its wah-wah guitar and multi-layered symphonic arrangement, would become a worldwide hit single, and spent two weeks at number one in the Billboard Hot 100 in November. The remainder of the album was mostly instrumentals covering big beat jazz, bluesy funk, and hard Stax-styled soul. The other two vocal songs, the social commentary "Soulville" and the nineteen-minute jam "Do Your Thing," would be edited down to hit singles. Hayes won an Academy Award for Best Original Song for the "Theme from Shaft," and was nominated for Best Original Dramatic Score for the film's score.
Later in the year, Hayes released a double album, Black Moses, that expanded on his earlier sounds and featured The Jackson 5's song "Never Can Say Goodbye". Another single, "I Can't Help It", was not featured on the album.
In 1972, Hayes would record the theme tune for the TV series The Men and enjoy a hit single (with "Type Thang" as a B-side). He released several other non-album singles during the year, such as "Feel Like Making Love", "If Loving You Is Wrong (I Don't Want To Be Right)", and "Rolling Down a Mountainside". Atlantic would re-release Hayes' debut album this year with the new title In The Beginning.
Hayes was back in 1973 with an acclaimed live double album, Live At Sahara Tahoe, and followed it up with the album Joy, with eerie beat of the fifteen-minute title track. He moved away from cover songs in this album. An edited "Joy" would be a hit single. In 1974, Hayes was featured in the blaxploitation films Three Tough Guys and Truck Turner, and he recorded soundtracks for both. Tough Guys was being almost devoid of vocals and Truck Turner yielded a single with the title theme. The soundtrack score was eventually used by filmmaker Quentin Tarantino in the Kill Bill film series and has been used for over 30 years as the opening score of Brazilian radio show Jornal de Esportes at Jovem Pan station.
HBS (Hot Buttered Soul Records) and bankruptcy
By 1974, Stax Records was having serious financial problems, stemming from problems with overextension and limited record sales and distribution. Hayes himself was deep in debt to Union Planters Bank, which administered loans for the Stax label and many of its other key employees. In September of that year, Hayes sued Stax for $5.3 million. As Stax was in deep debt and could not pay, the label made an arrangement with Hayes and Union Planters: Stax released Hayes from his recording and production contracts, and Union Planters would collect all of Hayes' income and apply it towards his debts. Hayes formed his own label, Hot Buttered Soul, which released its product through ABC Records. His new album, 1975's Chocolate Chip saw Hayes embrace the disco sound with the title track and lead single. "I Can't Turn Around" would prove a popular song as time went on. This would be Hayes' last album to chart top 40 for many years. Later in the year, the all instrumental Disco Connection album fully embraced disco.
In 1976, the album cover of Juicy Fruit featured Hayes in a pool with naked women, and spawned the title track single and the classic "Storm Is Over". Later the same year the Groove-A-Thon album featured the singles "Rock Me Easy Baby" and the title track. However, while all these albums were regarded as solid efforts, Hayes was no longer selling large numbers. He and his wife were forced into bankruptcy in 1976, as they owed over $6 million. By the end of the bankruptcy proceedings in 1977, Hayes had lost his home, much of his personal property, and the rights to all future royalties earned from the music he'd written, performed, and produced.
Polydor and hiatus, film work, and the Duke of New York
In 1977, Hayes was back with a new deal with Polydor Records, a live album of duets with Dionne Warwick did moderately well, and his comeback studio album New Horizon sold better and enjoyed a hit single "Out The Ghetto", and also featured the popular "It's Heaven To Me".
1978's For The Sake Of Love saw Hayes record a sequel to "Theme from Shaft" ("Shaft II"), but was most famous for the single "Zeke The Freak", a song that would have a shelf life of decades and be a major part of the House movement in the UK. The same year, Fantasy Records, which had bought out Stax Records, released an album of Hayes' non-album singles and archived recordings as a "new" album, Hotbed, in 1978.
In 1979, Hayes returned to the Top 40 with Don't Let Go and its disco-styled title track that became a hit single (U.S. #18), and also featured the classic "A Few More Kisses To Go". Later in the year he added vocals and worked on Millie Jackson's album Royal Rappin's.
Neither 1980s And Once Again or 1981's Lifetime Thing produced notable songs or big sales, and Hayes chose to take a break from music to pursue acting.
In the 1970s, Hayes featured in the films Shaft (1971) and Truck Turner (1974); he also had a recurring role in the TV series The Rockford Files as ex-con strongman Gandolph Fitch, including one episode alongside duet-partner Dionne Warwick. In the 1980s and 90s, he appeared in numerous films, notably Escape from New York (1981), I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988), Prime Target (1991), Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993), and Johnny Mnemonic (1995), as well as in episodes of The A-Team and Miami Vice. He also attempted a musical comeback, embracing the style of drum machines and synth for 1986s U-Turn and 1988s Love Attack, though neither proved successful.
Return to form … and to stardom
Hayes launched a comeback on the Virgin label in 1995 with Branded, an album of new material that earned impressive sales figures as well as positive reviews from critics who proclaimed it a return to form. A companion album released around the same time, Raw and Refined, featured a collection of previously unreleased instrumentals, both old and new.
In a rather unexpected career move shortly thereafter, Hayes charged back into the public consciousness as a founding star of Comedy Central's controversial — and wildly successful — animated TV series, South Park. Hayes provided the voice for the character of "Chef," the amorous elementary-school lunchroom cook, from the show's debut on August 13, 1997 (one week shy of his 55th birthday), through the end of its ninth season in 2006. The role of Chef drew on Hayes's talents both as an actor and as a singer, thanks to the character's penchant for making conversational points in the form of crudely suggestive soul songs. An album of songs from the series appeared in 1998 with the title Chef Aid: The South Park Album reflecting Chef's popularity with the show's fans, and the Chef song "Chocolate Salty Balls" became a number-one U.K. hit. Ironically, when South Park leaped to the big screen the following year with the smash animated musical South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, Hayes/Chef was the only major character who did not perform a showcase song in the film; his lone musical contribution was "Good Love," a track on the soundtrack album which originally appeared on Black Moses in 1971 and is not heard in the movie.
Hayes was inducted into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. The same year, a documentary highlighting Isaac's career and his impact on many of the Memphis artists in the 1960s onwards was produced, "Only The Strong Survive".
In 2004, Hayes appeared in a recurring minor role as the Jaffa Tolok on the television series Stargate SG-1. The following year, he appeared in the critically acclaimed independent film Hustle & Flow.
Basketball team ownership
On July 17, 1974, Hayes, along with Mike Storen, Avron Fogelman and Kemmons Wilson took over ownership of the American Basketball Association team the Memphis Tams. The prior owner was Charles O. Finley, the owner of the Oakland A's baseball team. Hayes' group renamed the team the Memphis Sounds. Despite a 66% increase in home attendance, hiring well regarded coach Joe Mullaney and, unlike in the prior three seasons, making the 1975 ABA Playoffs (losing to the eventual champion Kentucky Colonels in the Eastern Division semifinals), the team's financial problems continued. The group was given a deadline of June 1, 1975 to sell 4,000 season tickets, obtain new investors and arrange a more favorable lease for the team at the Mid-South Coliseum. The group did not come through and the ABA took over the team, selling it to a group in Maryland that renamed the team the Baltimore Hustlers and then the Baltimore Claws before the club finally folded during preseason play for the 1975-1976 season.
After South Park
Hayes’ income was sharply reduced as a result of leaving South Park. There followed announcements that he would be touring and performing. A reporter present at a January 2007 show in New York City, who had known Hayes fairly well, reported that "Isaac was plunked down at a keyboard, where he pretended to front his band. He spoke-sang, and his words were halting. He was not the Isaac Hayes of the past."
In April 2008, while a guest on The Adam Carolla Show, Hayes stumbled in his responses to questions - possibly as a result of health or related issues. A caller questioned whether Hayes was under the influence of a substance, and Carolla and co-host Teresa Strasser asked Hayes if he had ever used marijuana. After some confusion on what was being asked, Hayes replied that he had only ever tried it once. During the interview the radio hosts made light of Hayes' awkward answers, and replayed Hayes comments as sound drops - often simulating conversation with his co-hosts. Hayes stated during this interview that he was no longer on good terms with Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
During the spring of 2008, Hayes shot scenes for a comedy about soul musicians inspired by the history of Stax Records entitled Soul Men, in which he will appear as himself in a supporting role. The film is scheduled for release in November 2008.
Stroke and death
On March 20, 2006, Roger Friedman of Fox News reported that Hayes had suffered a stroke in January. Hayes spokeswoman Amy Harnell denied that Hayes had a stroke, but on October 26, 2006 Hayes himself confirmed that he did.
Hayes was found unconscious in his home located just east of Memphis, Tennessee on August 10, 2008 as reported by the Shelby County Sheriff's Department. A Shelby County Sheriff's deputy responded to Hayes's home after his wife found him on the floor near a still-running treadmill. Hayes was taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis, where he was pronounced dead at 2:08pm, ten days before his 66th birthday. The cause of death was not immediately known, though authorities subsequently listed stroke as the cause of death. At the time of his death, he was preparing his first new studio album since 1995.
He was interred at Memorial Park Cemetery in Memphis.
Charitable work
The Isaac Hayes Foundation was founded in 1999 by Isaac Hayes. In February 2006, Hayes appeared in a Youth for Human Rights International music video called "United". YHRI is a human rights group.
Hayes was also involved in other human rights related groups such as the One Campaign.
Family
Hayes fathered 12 children, and has 14 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. His fourth wife Adjowa gave birth to a son named Nana Kwadjo Hayes on April 10, 2006. One son is his namesake, Isaac Hayes III.

Tachi: HEY MAY I HAVE MY EYE BACK?
IJ Dee-Vo: Did you do that special assignment?
Tachi: YES...
IJ Dee-Vo: I Thought it would all be nice if we all say something we like about China, which is hard seeing its such a large country rich with a culture that goes back thousands of years who could pick just one, but I guess we will have to and I'll Start. I am amazed at The Great Wall of China! The Great Wall of China attracts an extensive amount of travelers every year. What attracts travelers to the Great Wall? It is such a great attraction for many different reasons. The wall is about 3,750 miles long. The Great Wall is crumbling and some of it has been restored in areas such as Beijing because it is the most visited area and they want to keep it open to travelers. At one point the wall extended over 6,000 miles long. Travelers walk across the Great Wall of China where originally the width of the wall could fit 5 horse riders or 10-foot soldiers walking shoulder to shoulder. One of the highest points of the Great Wall is 35 feet tall. Many travelers are attracted to the watchtowers that are every 100-200 yards. Each watchtower was about 40 feet high. The Great Wall is made of granite blocks, stone and sometimes brick. This is interesting because of the way China adapted to the materials in their surroundings. Depending on the location of the wall determined what material to use. In the hill areas of the West, it is made of moistened earth materials and then pounded solid since stone and brick were scarce here. Not only are all these breath-taking features interesting, but the Wall also contained the amazing Ming Tombs. The Great Wall has been restored and fixed up throughout History to become what it is now and travelers walk across it as if it were one of the Seven Wonders of the World. After all these fascinating heights and lengths, I can understand why so many people would love to see the Great Wall. The Great Wall went through over 1,000 years of being built and reconstructed through several different dynasties. In each dynasty, the Wall was repaired, "modernized", and added on to for different reasons. Even after those dynasties have fallen, the Great Wall is still being repaired and for yet another reason as to attract tourists and sightseers to the extravagant wonder. With all the amazing sights of the 40 foot watchtowers and extensive, perpetual walls… who wouldn’t want to visit the Great Wall?!?!

Now on a much sadder note, one of the worlds greatest comedians has passed on, to join his brethrens, John Candy, Cris Farly, Larry Moe, Curly, Shemp, and Curly Joe...but not Joe. So we are give a moment's silence to the great Bernie Mac.
Bernard Jeffrey McCullough (October 5, 1957 – August 9, 2008), better known by the stage name Bernie Mac, was an American actor and comedian. Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, Mac gained popularity as a stand-up comedian. He joined comedians Steve Harvey, Cedric the Entertainer and D.L. Hughley as The Original Kings of Comedy. After briefly hosting the HBO show Midnight Mac, Mac appeared in several films in smaller roles. His most noted film role was as Frank Catton in the remake Ocean's Eleven and its two sequels. Mac also starred in several films, including Mr. 3000. He was the star of The Bernie Mac Show, which ran from 2001-2006, earning two Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. Other films included Friday, Pride, Bad Santa and Transformers.
Early life
Mac was born in Chicago, Illinois, and was raised by a single mother, Mary. She died of cancer when he was 16 years old. Mac attended Chicago Vocational Career Academy and started his comedy career during high school. He put on shows for neighborhood kids on Chicago's South Side until briefly moving to Tampa, Florida. During his 20s he worked in a variety of jobs, including furniture mover, UPS agent and bread delivery sales rep.
Career
Mac started as a stand-up comedian in Chicago's Cotton Pickin' Club. He won the Miller Lite Comedy Search at the age of 32, at which point his popularity as a comedian began to grow. A performance on HBO's Def Comedy Jam thrust him into the spotlight. He opened for Dionne Warwick, Redd Foxx and Natalie Cole. He also had a short-lived talk show on HBO titled Midnight Mac. Later, Mac also began acting in minor roles and received his big break as "Pastor Clever" in Ice Cube's 1995 film Friday. Following that role, Mac also worked in many other films and had some television appearances in titles including, Booty Call, How to Be a Player, Life and What's the Worst That Could Happen?. Mac was one of the few African American comedic actors to be able to break out of the traditional "black comedy" genre, having roles in the 2001 remake of Ocean's Eleven and becoming the new Bosley for the Charlie's Angels sequel, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. In 2003, he also turned in an impressive performance in a small but important role as "Gin, The Store Dick" in, Bad Santa. He also starred in, Guess Who?, a comedic remake of the film Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. He also made an appearance in the 2007 film Transformers, as the car salesman, "Bobby Bolivia."
In 2000, Mac returned to his stand-up comedy roots, touring the country as one of The Original Kings of Comedy, along with Steve Harvey, Cedric the Entertainer and D.L. Hughley. The comedy act was filmed by Spike Lee and was included later in the film The Original Kings of Comedy.
In 2001, Fox gave Mac his own sitcom called, The Bernie Mac Show, somewhat based on his own life. In the show, he suddenly becomes custodian over his sister's three children after she enters rehab. It was a success, in part because it allows Mac to stay true to his stand-up comedy roots, breaking the fourth wall to communicate his thoughts to the audience. The show contained many parodies of events in Bernie's actual life. However, the show was not renewed after the 2006 season. Viewers were left without a conclusion for the series, and no ending to the storyline where Bernie and Wanda were trying to have a baby. The show won an Emmy Award for ‘Outstanding Writing’, the Peabody Award for excellence in broadcasting, the Humanitas Prize for television writing that promotes human dignity, and several other prestigious accolades. His character on The Bernie Mac Show was ranked #47 in TV Guide's list of the "50 Greatest TV Dads of All Time."
In 2004, Mac had his first starring role as a retired baseball player in the film Mr. 3000. In the 2003 National League Championship Series, Mac sang "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" at Wrigley Field with the Chicago Cubs leading the Florida Marlins in the series 3-2 and in Game 6 by a 3-0 score. Instead of saying "root, root, root for the Cubbies" Mac said, "root, root, root for the champions!" The Cubs went on to lose the game and the series, with some fans claiming that Mac helped to jinx the Cubs. Mac later admitted that he had hated the North Side's Cubs his whole life, being a die-hard fan of the South Side's White Sox, and was seen during the White Sox' 2005 World Series victory at U.S. Cellular Field.
Mac was number 72 on Comedy Central's list of the 100 greatest standups of all time. On March 19, 2007, Mac told David Letterman on the CBS Late Show that he would retire from his 30-year career after he finished shooting the comedy film, The Whole Truth, Nothing but the Truth, So Help Me Mac. "I'm going to still do my producing, my films, but I want to enjoy my life a little bit," Mac told Letterman. "I missed a lot of things, you know. I was a street performer for two years. I went into clubs in 1977."
Personal life
Mac married Rhonda McCullough in 1977. They had one daughter, Je'Niece (born 1978), who attended Xavier University of Louisiana, where she received both her bachelor's degree in Psychology and Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling. She is married with one daughter, Jasmine.
Death
Mac suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body's organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005.
On July 24, 2008, Mac was hospitalized with an infection, that was later identified as pneumonia. The news of his hospitalization would not be announced for over a week, when his publicist claimed that Mac had pneumonia. The next day, responding to rumors that the actor was in "very, very critical condition," his publicist said that he was responding well to treatment, and should be released soon. On August 9, his publicist announced that Mac had died from complications of pneumonia unrelated to sarcoidosis.
The 2008 Bud Billiken Parade in Chicago, on the day he died, was dedicated to his memory.
Mac's funeral was held on August 16 at the House of Hope megachurch. More than 6,000 people attended his funeral.
At the time of his death, Bernie Mac had finished working on the film Soul Men with Isaac Hayes, who, coincidentally, died the next day.

IJLYMPICS
Every four years every country of their best athletes they pick,
Too come together and compete in the Olympics!
They put down their weapons, their tanks and their guns,
And in peace challenge each other to be number one.
The torch bearer so light on air he did run,
As he ignited the torch till it shone like the sun.
The Flame of the torch is burning so bright,
Illuminated the challengers with it's triumphant light.
Each country marching on taking their part,
As their footsteps together create a work of art.
On a glowing globe runners encircle it's sides,
As boxes rise and lower letters riding the tides.
Oh yes in this the year of 2008,
I can tell from the start that it's going be great.
When enemies become friends, well what do you know,
Together at Last is Sonic and Mario!
So let us all go to China, Beijing,
Hold hands as this song we sing.
Tachi: THE GREAT SONGS COMPOSED BY THE TALENTED MUSICIANS FOR THE OLYMPCS HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR FROM US STEALING THEIR SPOTLLIGHT.
IJ Dee-Vo: Well, it's better then the anniversary song.
Tachi: ANYTHING SUNG BY A T-REX WHOULD BE BE A BETTER SONG.
IJ Dee-Vo: So what did you think of the opening ceremonies.
Tachi: YOU'D THINK WITH ALL THE EFFORT THEY MADE WITH ALL THE DISPLAYS THEY HAD GOING THAT THEY WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE COUNTRIES IN THE RIGHT ORDER.
IJ Dee-Vo: Ah well that is because in China they don't have an alphabetical order like they do in other countries.
Tachi: SO WHAT DO THEY HAVE THEN? ALPHABETIC CHAOS? I KNOW THEY HAVE A SYSTEM OF CHARACTERS SO HOW DO THEY PICK THE COUNTRIES ORDER, BY RANDOM?
IJ Dee-Vo: Actually it's based on the number of brush strokes it takes to make the name of the countries. Least to most.
Tachi: WHY DID CHINA GO LAST? DOES IT HAVE A BIZILLIAN STROKES IN CHINESE?
IJ Dee-Vo :Tradition is to have the hosting country go last. The great thing about the order the countries went to this Olympics is that countries that normally arrive during commercials now get to be on T.V.
Tachi: WELL I HOPE THEY ENJOY THE LIMELIGHT, IT MAY BE A LOOONG TIME BEFORE WE GET TO SEE THEM AGAIN.
IJ Dee-Vo: Err..I guess.
Tachi: SO THEY JUST GO AROUND PASSING HOSTING DUTIES TO ANOTHER COUNTRY?
IJ Dee-Vo: Yes.
Tachi: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY GO THROUGH ALL THE COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD? WILL THAT BE THE END OF THE OLYMPICS?
IJ Dee-Vo: Well I guess it starts over again. But not all countries do host them.
Tachi: WHY NOT? DID THEY GET BANNED FROM THE OLMYPICS, DON'T WANT FOREIGNERS TRASHING THEIR COUNTRY, OR JUST THINK THEY ARE TOO GOOD FOR IT?
IJ Dee: Ummm well, it takes a lot of space to house all the people, and the events, and time, and resources to set it all up. It's like making city. Some countries don't have the space, money or resources.
Tachi: OH LIKE NAURU, THAT ISLAND LESS THEN 9 MILES SQUARE?
IJ Dee-Vo: Exactly, hosting the Olympics would probably be very devastating to their ecology.
Tachi: AS WELL AS SINK THE ISLAND.
IJ Dee-Vo: Well I don't think it would go that far.
Tachi: WHAT HAPPENS IF A COUNTRY CHANGES IT'S NAME DURING THE OLYMPICS?
IJ Dee-Vo: I don't know.
Tachi: WHAT HAPPENS IF TWO COMPETING COUNTRIES, JOIN INTO ONE DURING THE COMPETION OF THEIR ATHLETES? DO ONLY THE BEST ONES GET TO STAY IN THEIR TEAMS? DO THEY HAVE TO GIVE UP MEDALS WON AGAINST EACH OTHER? DO ONLY THE BEST SCORES COUNT?
IJ Dee-Vo: I don't know.
Tachi: WHAT IF A COUNTRY BREAKS APART? WHO DECIDES WHO REPRESENTS THE NEW COUNTRIES, WHO DECIDES WHICH COUNTRY GETS WHICH MEDAL.IS IT ALL NULLED OUT? WILL THEY HAVE TO COMPETE AGAINST EACH OTHER?
IJ Dee-Vo: I don't know. Um, topic change!
Tachi: DIDN'T A COUNTRY JUST TAKE ITSELF OFF THE PRIME MARIDEAN?
IJ Dee-Vo: Um I heard about that, and no it's still on it, they just don't practice it.
TACHI: WHY NOT?
IJ Dee-Vo: Well it gets real confusing having two days in one country. Just think about settinmg up appointments.
TACHI: WELL THAT”S STUPID. COME ON IT'S WHAT MAKES THEM SPECIAL! ONLY A HANDFUL OF COUNTRIES HAVE THIS< IN FACT IT”S ONE OF THE FEW REASONS TO VISIT THEM. LOOK IT'S TODAY, IT'S TOMMOROR, I'M A TIME TRAVELER! I'M SO BIG THAT ITS ONE DAY WHERE I BEGIN AND A NOTHER DAY WHERE I END.
IJ Dee-Vo: That's enough Tachi, well anything else you have to say about the Olympics thus far?
TACHI: WELL YOU KNOW THAT PAINTING THEY MADE BT WALKING THROUGH IT?
IJ Dee-Vo: Ya that was pretty sweet the way all the countries were able to work together and create art.
TACHI: WELL NOTICE THAT CHINA WAS LAST?
IJ Dee-Vo: Yes as tradition, hosting country goes last.
TACHI: IT'S LIKE THEY WERE TRAMPLING OVER ALL THE OTHER COUNTRIES TO SIGNIFY THEIR COMPLETE DOMINATION OVER THEM!
IJ Dee-Vo: Ok ok....Tachi, I was pretty tolerant with you up to that point. Here give me this.
TACHI: HEY HEY...THAT'S MY EYE! HOW AM I GOING TO BE ABLE MOVE AROUND WITHOUT DEPTH PERCEPTION?
IJ Dee-Vo: Well.. Little Mouth can guide you around till you earn this back.
Little Mouth:
TACHI: NO! HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY EYE?
IJ Dee-Vo: I'm putting it on a strap. Hey Sock Monkey come here a second.
Sock Monkey: \/\/|-|@ 1$ 17?
IJ Dee-Vo: I have something for you to wear, put this on.
TACHI: HEY!
Sock Monkey: 7|-|@ L00|<5 Ph4/\/\1L14R.

Dark Voices
Dark voices in my head,
Filling me with a sense of dread.
Dark voices in my brain,
Slowly driving me insane.
Dark voices in my soul,
Starting to take their toll.
Dark voices...
Giving me dark choices.
Dark visions...
Giving me dark missions.
When I'm all by myself, I'm never alone.
I can feel them done to the bone.
Can't escape the things they say.
There all always around, I cant get away.
Dark voices in my mind,
I search for peace I can't find.
Dark voices in my skull,
Their words no more I can lull.
Dark voices in my dreams,
Making me wake to my own screams.
Dark voices...
Giving me dark choices.
Dark visions...
Giving me dark missions.
What can I do, how long can I last.
This condition just won't past.
They are with me day and night.
I fear I may lose the fight.
Dark voices in my thoughts,
Against them I have fought.
Dark voices in my ear,
Whispering words of hate and fear.
Dark voices in my room,
Telling me a prophecy of doom.
Dark voices...
Giving me dark choices
Dark visions...
Giving me dark missions.
Don't know where to turn to for help.
Guess I'll keep this all to myself.
Cant let anyone know, or find out.
This is a thing I must lie about.
Dark voices...
Dark choices...
Dark visions...
Dark Missions...
Wow, that sound makes Metalacoplyse sound cheery. Now that we got that out of the way, time for our good friends, PC and Mac.
Hip 30/40 year old: Hello I'm a PC.
Burnt out 20 year old: Smokes ...something "I'm...a....watch you call it...
PC: Mac
Mac: Yeah, whatever.
PC: Hey Mac why are you looking at the watch, got some big party to go to?
Mac: Ya, I wish, no one wants me around.
PC: Than whats the deal with looking at your watch all the time?
Mac: I'm counting down the time.
PC: The time to what?
Mac: The time someone cracks into my system.
PC: It must be a long time, I hear Macs are harder to get into then Fort Knox.
Mac: Can you keep a secret? Thats just what I want you to think, It only takes 2 minuets for a cracker to break into my systems.
PC: Wow only two minuets, your firewall is more like a sieve.
Mac: Brrrrrrr I'm a lttle teapot short and stout, this is is my handle this is my spout.
PC: Kudos Charlie Miller
(note hackers like Charlie Miller are good, they show how systems are vulnerable so we can fix them, as well as learn how to get the most out of them. Crackers are bad, wanting to steal, corrupt or take control your systems. Media I know you like using the term hacker to describe evil doers cause it sounds better, but it doesn't make it right or correct. We will use the correct terms and not bow down to your WORD JACKING)

AFTER HIS MANY COLLABORATIONS WITH JAMES CAMMERON HE BECAME AN ICON OF HORROR AND FOR YOU TO NOT EVEN MAKE NOTE OF HIS DEATH IS HORRORBLE.
IJ: PLEASE EDIT THIS FOR ME.
RAZOR SPINBACK
Well Don't think we have forgotten him for one second. Oh no just try to do that with Sock Monkey and Tachi both around. So we are including a short description of his career, c/o Wikipedia.
Stanley Winston (April 7, 1946 – June 15, 2008) was an American visual effects supervisor, make-up artist, and film director. He was best known for his work in the Terminator series, the Jurassic Park series, Aliens, the Predator series, and Edward Scissorhands. He won a total of four Academy Awards for his work.
Winston, a frequent collaborator with director James Cameron, owned more than one effects studio, including Stan Winston Digital. The established areas of expertise for Winston were in makeup, puppets and practical effects, but he had recently expanded his studio to encompass digital effects as well.
Career
Stan Winston was born on April 7, 1946, in Arlington, Virginia. He studied painting and sculpture at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, from which he graduated in 1968. In 1969, after attending California State University, Long Beach, Winston moved to Hollywood to pursue a career as an actor. Struggling to find an acting job, he began a makeup apprenticeship at Walt Disney Studios.
1970s
In 1972, Winston established his own company, Stan Winston Studio, and won an Emmy Award for his effects work on the telefilm Gargoyles. Over the next seven years, Winston continued to receive Emmy nominations for work on projects such as The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. Winston also created the Wookiee costumes for the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special.
1980s
In 1982, Winston received his first Oscar nomination for Heartbeeps, by which time he had set up his own studio.
In 1983, Winston designed the Mr. Roboto facemask for the American rock group Styx.
Winston reached a new level of fame in 1984 when James Cameron's The Terminator premiered. The movie was a surprise hit, and Winston's work bringing the metallic killing machine to life led to many new projects and additional collaborations with Cameron. In fact, Winston won his first Oscar for Best Visual Effects in 1986 on James Cameron's next movie, Aliens.
Over the next few years, Winston and his company received more accolades for its work on many more Hollywood films, including Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands, John McTiernan's Predator, Alien Nation, The Monster Squad, and Predator 2.
In 1989, Winston made his directorial debut with the horror movie Pumpkinhead, and won Best First Time Director at the Paris Film Festival. Although poorly received at the box office, Pumpkinhead has since become somewhat of a cult classic. His next directing project was the child-friendly A Gnome Named Gnorm (1990), starring Anthony Michael Hall.
1990s
James Cameron drafted Winston and his team once again in 1990, this time for the groundbreaking Terminator 2: Judgment Day. T2 premiered in the summer of 1991, and Winston's work on this box office hit won him two more Oscars for Best Makeup Effects and Best Visual Effects.
In 1992, he was nominated with yet another Tim Burton film, this time for Burton's superhero sequel, Batman Returns, where his effects on Danny DeVito as The Penguin, Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman, and in delivering Burton's general vision for what was an increasingly Gothic Gotham City earned him more recognition for his work ethic and loyalty to what was an intrinsic ability to bring different directors' ideas to life. It was particularly poignant because for Batman Returns, Winston had to follow on from Anton Furst's earlier work, and recreate change according to what Burton wanted to do differently the next time around.
Winston turned his attention from super villains and cyborgs to dinosaurs when Steven Spielberg enlisted his help to bring Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park to the cinema screen. In 1993, the movie became a blockbuster and Winston won another Oscar for Best Visual Effects.
In 1993, Winston, Cameron and ex-ILM General Manager Scott Ross co-founded Digital Domain, one of the foremost digital and visual effects studios in the world. In 1998, after the box office success of Titanic, Cameron and Winston severed their working relationship with the company and resigned from its board of directors.
Winston and his team continued to provide effects work for many more films and expanded their work into animatronics. Some of Winston's notable animatronics work can be found in The Ghost and the Darkness and T2 3-D: Battle Across Time, James Cameron's 3-D continuation of the Terminator series for the Universal Studios theme park. One of Winston's most ambitious animatronics projects was Steven Spielberg's AI: Artificial Intelligence, which earned Winston another Oscar nomination for Best Visual Effects.
In 1996, Winston directed and co-produced the longest and the most expensive music video of all time, Ghosts, which was based on an original concept of Michael Jackson and Stephen King. The long-form music video presented a number of never before seen visual effects, and promoted music from two consecutive Jackson albums, HIStory and Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix, which went on to become the biggest selling boxed set/double and remix album of all time (18+18 million and 7 million, accordingly).
2000s
In 2001, Winston, together with Lou Arkoff (Sam Arkoff's son) and Colleen Camp, produced a series of made-for-cable films for Cinemax and HBO. The five films, referred to as Creature Features, were inspired by the titles of AIP monster movies from the 1950s -- i.e., Earth vs. the Spider (1958), How to Make a Monster (1958), Day the World Ended (1955), The She-Creature (1956), and Teenage Caveman (1958) -- but had completely different plots.
In 2003, Stan Winston was invited by the Smithsonian Institution to speak about his life and career in a public presentation sponsored by The Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation. The presentation took place on November 15, 2003, at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.
In 2004, he expressed great disappointment when Director, Paul Anderson, did not come to him for the creature effects for Alien Vs. Predator, seeing as how he designed the Predator, and the Alien Queen. "They're like my children to me." he stated.
At the time of his death, Winston was working on the sequel Terminator Salvation. According to reports, next for Stan Winston was Jurassic Park IV. Winston was also signed on to help with the monster effects for The Suffering, an upcoming action-horror film to be based on the Midway video games.
Death
Stan Winston died on June 15, 2008, at his home in Malibu, California after suffering for seven years from multiple myeloma. A spokeswoman reported that "Stan died peacefully at home surrounded by family." Arnold Schwarzenegger made a public speech about his death

Doesn't really seem to do him justice? A picture is worth 1000 words, A movie worth 172800 pictures, and our friend Stanley Winston has helped make dozens. We would need billions of words then to truly capture his career. rankly, we don't have the time or space to do that. We are disappointed that our last mailer has forgotten about another great who recently left us behind to shiver on this cold wet ball of misery. Of course I speak of the great Bozo the Clown, or shall we say one of them. Like DuffMan, Bozo T. Clown never dies, only the actors portraying him. Yet none ever made Bozo as Bozo as one did Larry Harmon.
Lawrence Weiss (January 2, 1925 – July 3, 2008), better known by the stage names Larry Harmon and Bozo the Clown, was an American entertainer.
Biography
Harmon was born in Toledo, Ohio and raised in Cleveland. During World War II, he served in the Army. Upon returning he attended the University of Southern California where he majored in theater and performed in the Spirit of Troy marching band. Harmon married wife Susan in 1978 and together they had four children.
Together with a group of investors, Harmon purchased the licensing rights to the Bozo character from creator Alan W. Livingston and Capitol Records. Harmon marketed the Bozo property aggressively. By the late 1960s, Harmon had licensed local Bozo TV shows in nearly every major U.S. market, and across the world in places as far away as Thailand, Greece and Brazi.
On New Year's Day 1996, Harmon dressed as Bozo for the first time in 10 years, appearing in the Rose Parade in Pasadena, California to a deafening reaction from a thrilled crowd.
On July 3, 2008 Harmon died in his home of congestive heart failure in Los Angeles, California.
In 1956, Larry Harmon, one of several actors hired by Livingston and Capitol Records to portray Bozo at promotional appearances, formed a business partnership and bought the licensing rights (excluding the record-readers) to the character when Livingston briefly left Capitol in 1956. Harmon had the vision and drive to take advantage of the growing television industry and make a better future for Bozo. He renamed the character "Bozo, The World’s Most Famous Clown" and slightly modified the voice, laugh and costume. He then worked with a wig stylist to get the wing-tipped bright orange style and look of the hair that had previously appeared in Capitol's Bozo comic books. He started his own animation studio and distributed (through business partner Jayark Films Corporation) a series of cartoons (with Harmon as the voice of Bozo) to television stations, along with the rights for each to hire its own live Bozo host, beginning with KTLA-TV in Los Angeles on January 5, 1959 and starring Vance Colvig, Jr., son of the original "Bozo the Clown", Pinto Colvig. Unlike many other shows on television, "Bozo the Clown" was mostly a franchise as opposed to being syndicated, meaning that local TV stations could put on their own local productions of the show complete with their own Bozo. Another show that had previously used this model successfully was Romper Room. Since each market used a different portrayer for the character, the voice and look of each market's Bozo also differed. One example is the voice and laugh of WGN-TV Chicago's Bob Bell, who also wore a red costume throughout the first decade of his portrayal. The wigs for Bozo were originally manufactured through the famous Hollywood firm, Emil Corsillo Inc. This long time Hollywood company designed and manufactured toupees and wigs for the entertainment industry. Bozo's headpiece was made from yak hair, which was adhered to a canvas base with a starched burlap interior foundation. The hair was first styled, formed, then sprayed with a heavy coat of lacquer to keep its form. From time-to-time, the headpiece needed freshening and was sent to the Hollywood factory for a quick refurbishing. The canvas top would slide over the actor's forehead. With the exception of the Bozo wigs for WGN-TV Chicago, the eyebrows were permanently painted on the headpiece. In 1965, Harmon bought out his business partners and became the sole owner of the licensing rights. Thinking that one national show would be more profitable for his company, Harmon produced 130 of his own half-hour shows from 1965 to 1967 titled Bozo's Big Top with WHDH-TV (now WCVB-TV) Boston's Bozo, Frank Avruch, for syndication in 1966. Avruch's portrayal and look resembled Harmon's more so than most of the other portrayers at the time. Harmon was met with resistance though and the show's distribution was limited as most television stations preferred to continue producing their own versions, the most popular being Bob Bell and WGN-TV Chicago's more elaborate Bozo's Circus which ultimately went national via cable and satellite in 1978. Bell retired in 1984 and was replaced by Joey D'Auria.
The series successfully survived competition from syndicated and network children's programs for many years until 1994 when WGN management decided to get out of the weekday children's television business and buried The Bozo Show in an early Sunday timeslot as The Bozo Super Sunday Show. It suffered another blow in 1997 when its format became educational following a Federal Communications Commission mandate requiring broadcast television stations to air a minimum three hours of educational children's programs per week. In 2001, station management controversially ended production citing increased competition from newer children's cable channels.
In 2005, Chicago's Bozo returned to the national television airwaves in a two-hour retrospective titled Bozo, Gar & Ray: WGN TV Classics. The primetime premiere was #1 in the Chicago market and continues to be rebroadcast annually during the holiday season. In 2003, Harmon released six of his Bozo's Big Top programs with Avruch on DVD and a box set of 30 episodes in 2007 retitled "Larry Harmon's Bozo, The World's Most Famous Clown Vol.1". The WGN-TV Chicago Bozo shows have not been released commercially in any video format.
Well thats about it for This edition, sorry we didn't have much time for anything else, we all are in mourning, but We will go on. These men dedicated their lives to entertain the world, and we shall do nothing less, if only to honor their lives, their memories.
See we weren't lying! We also have 4 new
countries! New Zealand, Russia, Ukraine, and the Philippines! We are really covering the world! Just take a
look! 
We have 7 big spots and one super spot! We have new stats. Sorry we haven't done much with the site this month, guess we will have to
make up for it next month. Lots of busy stuff kept us occupied.
Weathered its carried by electrons or a snail
It never ever fails
To make us scream and wail
When ever we get mail!
Yes it is that time when we read you our mail, and we have more then average. Yes we literally are bogged down and must shift through 3 or 4 a month just so we can do this segmant, so here it goes.
The First one is quite a serious one. It deals with the efforts to keep stations l;ike ours in business.
Dear Live365 Supporter,
I wanted to share with you some of the help we are getting from our allies on Capitol Hill. The goal is to keep the webcaster royalty issue on the agenda for Judiciary Committees in both the House and Senate.
Text of a May 21, 2008 letter from Senators Sam Brownback and Ron Wyden to Senator Patrick Leahy, Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee:
Dear Chairman Leahy:
Thank you for your commitment to work with us and take action on the Internet Radio Equality Act. Your comments during the Judiciary Committee's executive business meeting on May 9, 2008 were much appreciated.
As you are aware, the March 2, 2007 decision by the Copyright Royalty Board to increase royalties for Internet radio has put an entire industry at risk. The decision highlights a major flaw in current copyright law that needs to be addressed by Congress. We have worked together to draft a fair and reasonable bipartisan bill that will give webcasters long overdue fair treatment under the Copyright Act.
We look forward to hearing from you regarding a hearing date and future markup of the Internet Radio Equality Act.
[Signed Sam Brownback and Ron Wyden, United States Senators] Excerpt of statement from Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren during the June 11, 2008 House Judiciary hearing on the Performance Rights Act, H.R. 4789:
…the industry that is in real trouble today is the Internet radio. Many webcasters are facing royalty payments that are in excess of their entire revenues. And the Arbitron data now shows that Internet radio listenership is falling.
We have 150 members of the House who co-sponsored a bill [the Internet Radio Equality Act] to take a look at that situation a year ago. And I would ask unanimous consent to put the letter in the record. We ask that we have a hearing on this subject. I think it is pretty essential to do so.
We'll keep on fighting for rate parity in Internet radio! Thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
Mark Lam
CEO, Live365
Wow heavy, I hope it all works out. Ok next one! This one if from one of the artisits that has allowed us to play her music for free!
Message from PATSY MCGLAMRY-DEAN
Dear Friend-in-music, Thank you for downloading my songs from airplaydirect.com. I hope you and your listeners will enjoy the music. Tell all listeners that Patsy says, \"Hello from metro-Atlanta.\" Musical greetings, Patsy
HEY EVERYONE PATSY SAYS HI! Ok now that is done, lets get to the next one, another artist.
Hi,
Thanks so much for accepting my music. I really appreciate it. You have an excellent station and a wide variety of genre which is really good.
Take care,
Wow, thank you Ellis we love hearing praise fro those we serve! Well, time for one more, which works out as we have only one more left.
IM GORK
TACHI: FIRST OF ALL YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT ONLY PRIMATES CAN BE TRAINED WITHOUT ARTIFICIAL ADAPTATIONS. TELL THAT GREASY, MONKEY LOVING WOMAN THAT TO TRAIN A MONKEY YOU MUST IMPLANT A BRAIN STIMULATER INTO IT,S BRAIN AND JOLT IT WITH AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK. THIS IS NOT ONLY CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT BUT WOULD BE VERY FUNNY TO WATCH. I ASSUME TACHI WOULD RECEIVE MUCH AMUSEMENT FROM WATCHING MONKEYS HOP AROUND LIKE IDIOTS WITH SPITTLE COMING FROM THIER MOUTHS.
WE OF THE THE RIGHT- WING REPUBLICAN ARMY ALREADY HAVE MORE ROBOTS THAN SHE CAN HAVE MONKEYS AND OF COURSE, WE ARE INDESTRUCTIBLE.
IM GORK
Tachi: MMMMM...ELECTROJUICED MONKEY BRAIN. HEY SOCK MONKEY COME HERE A SECOND! EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS ENTIRLY MADE UP OF UNFEELING RUTHLESS KILLBOTS DEDICATED TO TERRAFORMING THE ENVIRONMENT AND DESTROYING THE HUMAN RACE, SO REMEMBER, VOTE REPUBLICAN THIS ELECTION TOGETHER WE CAN FINALLY PUT AN END TO HUMANITY!

(Where applicable)
Down inside a missile silo
Devoid of sanity
Where a guy called IJ Dee-Vo lived
A mental institute escapee
Got a gig as a security guard
Minimum wage for a day of working hard
An old abandoned warehouse was his assigned place
Then got abducted by aliens
And taken to outer space
(That probe's cold!)
Play music over the web
The best you can find
(la-la-la)
If you refuse your brain implant
Will then force you to comply
(la-la-la)
Now keep in mind he can't control
A music station all alone
(la-la-la)
So he went and brought in some friends
Who now all call this place their home
IJ Roll Call:

Sock Monkey-That funky Monkey
Caffeine junkie Monkey
That funky Monkey
Got this dance that's more then real
Drink Volt Cola here's how you feel
Code all day, code all night
Go to FragFest nuke everything in sight
Sock Monkey codes the Super Computer Blue Cubed
Makes the most 1337 hacker look like a n0ob
Whatever Tachi may think it can't make a fuss
Cause IJ Dee-Vo says the monkey stays with us
IJ Dee-Vo drinks A&W root bear
Tachi uses WD-40 to lube its gears
I drink Volt Cola and I rock real well
Underground in IJ Studios that's where I dwell
Sock Monkey-That funky Monkey
Caffeine junkie Monkey
That funky Monkey
Cause I drink it anytime and anyplace
When it's time to get ill I pour it in my face
Monkey likes it when you pour it on ice
Come on y'all it's time to get nice
Coolin' by the terminal getting kind of funky
The IJ Studios Crew depends on this Monkey
Little Mouth came by and started to speak
Had to stop it now, else it would last all week
Took a moldy piece of bread and said “Catch”
Threw it out the room and then locked the hatch
Went back to Quake, knew the peace would not last
So I took out all the other players fast.
Sock Monkey-That funky Monkey
Caffeine junkie Monkey
That funky Monkey
Step up to the terminal turn the power on
Playing first person shooters till the crack of dawn
Take a sip of Volt Cola and your eyes open wide
Soon you're shooting up your opponent's hide
You got your lame energy drink thinking you're so cool
Go up against me in Halo and you'll look like a fool
I'll down more caffeine in a single gulp
Then you'll drink from sun down to sun up
Monkey an parties and coding and fragging
Got a T1 line so I never fear lagging
Doesn't matter if your in a group are alone
Go up against a Code Monkey and you'll get p0wn3d
I drink it - I think it - I see it – I be it
This Monkey has a red but that's where a sit
I drink it straight from the bottle or in a cup
Come on everybody let's drink it all up
Sock Monkey-That funky Monkey
Caffeine junkie Monkey
That funky Monkey

NOW I WILL CLOSE THIS WITH A SONG
I Still have feelings like you
Coffee tins, tonic and gin
I left them and came with you
I may not be able to make caffinated drinks I know
But my gears will last forever
I'm happy to be, in your party
Aren't you?
Robots can be for evil or good
Please don't reprogram me
My memories and thoughts
Are all I have left
Am I malfunctioning?
In the year of 2003 AD
I was left in the scrapyard to rust
Then you came along and I played this song
Covered in dust.
7-4-C-H-1
That is my name
But you can call me
Anything
Wont you let me stay here,
I'll Tend to this place.
I'm good at broadcasting.
So IJ Dee-Vo and me we broadcast the mp3s
To give the world of music a brighter future
Just listen and see this station we made
For you.
Though I am made of Titanium
I still have feelings like you
Won't you pick me
Instead of that monkey?
I can rip Cd's too!
However In the midst of all this. we have tragic news to bring you. We have lost two of the greatest minds this planet has produced in recent times. The first, famous author Arther C. Clark...
Sir Arthur Charles Clarke,(16 December 1917 – 19 March 2008) was a British science fiction author, inventor, and futurist, most famous for his novel 2001: A Space Odyssey, for collaborating with director Stanley Kubrick on the film of the same name and as a host and commentator in the British television series Mysterious World.
Clarke served in the Royal Air Force as a radar instructor and technician from 1941-1946, proposed satellite communication systems in 1945 which won him the Franklin Institute Stuart Ballantine Gold Medal in 1963 and a nomination in 1994 for a Nobel Prize, and became the chairman of the British Interplanetary Society from 1947-1950 and again in 1953. Later, he helped fight for the preservation of lowland gorillas and won the UNESCO-Kalinga Prize in 1962.
Clarke's most important scientific contribution may be his idea that geostationary satellites would be ideal telecommunications relays. He described this concept in a paper titled "Extra-Terrestrial Relays — Can Rocket Stations Give Worldwide Radio Coverage?", published in Wireless World in October 1945. The geostationary orbit is now sometimes known as the Clarke Orbit or the Clarke Belt in his honour.
Awards, honours and other recognition:
Following the release of 2001, Clarke became much in demand as a commentator on science and technology, especially at the time of the Apollo space program. The fame of 2001 was enough to get the Command Module of the Apollo 13 craft named "Odyssey".
In 1986, Clarke provided a grant to fund the prize money (initially £1,000) for the Arthur C. Clarke Award for the best science fiction novel published in Britain in the previous year. In 2001 the prize was increased to £2001, and its value now matches the year (e.g., £2005 in 2005).
Clarke received a CBE in 1989, and was knighted in 2000 Clarke's health did not allow him to travel to London to receive the honour personally from the Queen, so the United Kingdom's High Commissioner to Sri Lanka invested him as a Knight Bachelor at a ceremony in Colombo.
In 1994, Clarke was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize by law professor Glenn Reynolds.
The 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter is named in honour of Sir Arthur's works.
In 2003, Sir Arthur was awarded the Telluride Tech Festival Award of Technology where he appeared on stage via a 3-D hologram with a group of old friends which included Jill Tarter, Neil Armstrong, Lewis Branscomb, Charles Townes, Freeman Dyson, Bruce Murray and Scott Brown.
In 2005 he lent his name to the inaugural Sir Arthur Clarke Awards — dubbed "the Space Oscars". His brother attended the awards ceremony, and presented an award specially chosen by Arthur (and not by the panel of judges who chose the other awards) to the British Interplanetary Society.
On 14 November 2005 Sri Lanka awarded Arthur C. Clarke its highest civilian award, the Sri Lankabhimanya (The Pride of Sri Lanka) , for his contributions to science and technology and his commitment to his adopted country.
Sir Arthur was the Honorary Board Chair of the Institute for Cooperation in Space, founded by Carol Rosin, and served on the Board of Governors of the National Space Society, a space advocacy organisation originally founded by Dr. Wernher von Braun.
An asteroid was named in Clarke's honour, 4923 Clarke (the number was assigned prior to, and independently of, the name - 2001, however appropriate, was unavailable, having previously been assigned to Albert Einstein).
A species of ceratopsian dinosaur, Serendipaceratops arthurcclarkei, discovered in Inverloch in Australia.
The Learning Resource Center at Richard Huish College, Taunton, which Clarke attended when it was Huish Grammar School, is named after him.
Clarke was a distinguished vice-president of the H. G. Wells Society, being strongly influenced by H. G. Wells as a science-fiction writer.
As featured on Sky One's "50 Terrible Predictions" programme, Clarke once predicted that apes would function as household servants by the 1960's; "...with our present knowledge of animal psychology, we can certainly solve the servant problem with the help of the monkey kingdom" he said, but quipped "..of course, eventually, our super chimpanzees would start forming trade unions and we'd be right back where we started."
Clark was knighted in 1998. He emigrated to Sri Lanka in 1956, where he lived until his death.
The other is the famous gamester Ernist Gyndex...
Ernest Gary Gygax (July 27, 1938 – March 4, 2008) was an American writer and game designer, best known for co-creating the pioneering role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) with Dave Arneson, and co-founding the company Tactical Studies Rules (TSR, Inc.) with Don Kaye in 1973. Gygax is generally acknowledged as one of the fathers of the tabletop role-playing game.
In 1966, the International Federation of Wargamers (IFW) was created with the assistance of Gygax.
Gygax organized a 20-person gaming meet in 1967. It was held in the basement of his home and later became known as "Gen Con 0" as this meet birthed the annual Gen Con gaming convention in 1968. Gen Con is now North America's largest annual hobby-game gathering. Gen Con is also where Gary Gygax would meet Brian Blume and Dave Arneson. Blume later partnered with Gygax and Kaye in the TSR enterprise.
Together with Don Kaye, Mike Reese and Leon Tucker, Gygax created a military miniatures society, Lake Geneva Tactical Studies Association (LGTSA), with its first headquarters in Gygax's basement.
In 1971, Gygax and Jeff Perren wrote Chainmail, a miniatures wargame from which the role-playing game (RPG) Dungeons & Dragons (aka D&D) was developed.
Gygax and Kaye founded the publishing company Tactical Studies Rules in 1973 and published the first version of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) in 1974. Gygax was inspired by Jack Vance while developing the spell systems and also drew upon the work of such renowned fantasy authors as Robert E. Howard, L. Sprague de Camp and Fritz Leiber. The hand-assembled print run of 1000 copies sold out within nine months. In the same year, Gygax hired Tim Kask to assist in the transition of the magazine The Strategic Review into the fantasy periodical, The Dragon, with Gygax as author and later as columnist.
After the death of Kaye in 1976, his widow sold her shares to Gygax. Gygax, now controlling the whole of Tactical Studies Rules, created TSR Hobbies, Inc. Gygax, coming into financial troubles soon after, sold TSR Hobbies to Brian Blume and his brother Kevin. The Blume family would own roughly two-thirds of TSR Hobbies by late 1976.
Tactical Studies Rules published the two first printings of the original D&D and TSR Hobbies, Inc. continued on with the game.
Beginning in 1977, a new version of D&D was created, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D). The Monster Manual would be the first rule book of the new system, with many books to follow. The AD&D rules were not compatible with those of D&D and as a result, D&D and AD&D would have distinct product lines and expansions.
Gary Gygax left TSR in 1985 during changes in TSR's management. This development arose while Gygax was involved in the making of CBS cartoon series Dungeons & Dragons
After leaving TSR, Gygax created Dangerous Journeys, an RPG spanning multiple genres. He began work in 1995 on a new RPG, originally intended for a computer game; however, it was released in 1999 as Lejendary Adventure. A key goal of its design was to keep the gaming rules as simple as possible, as Gygax felt that role playing games were becoming discouragingly complex to new users.
In 2005, Gygax returned to the Dungeons & Dragons RPG with his involvement in the creation of the Castles & Crusades system with Troll Lord Games. Troll Lord Games has published Castle Zagyg, the previously unreleased, original version of Gygax's Castle Greyhawk with the original dungeon setting for D&D.
In 2007, Gygax had a special guest appearance as himself on the G4TV show Code Monkeys, when Todd sought him out and offered actress Molly Ringwald as a "virgin sacrifice" to Gygax to restore Todd's Charisma points.
He also lent his voice to his cartoon self in the episode "Anthology of Interest I" of the TV show Futurama.
Gygax performed voiceover narration as a guest dungeon master in the massively multiplayer online role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach. He narrates "Dead Girl's Spellbook" in Valak's Mausoleum as well as all of the dungeons in the "Mystery of Delera's Tomb" quest chain.
Gary Gygax received several awards related to gaming:
Strategists Club's "Outstanding Designer & Writer" for the creation of D&D
Origin Game Convention's "Adventure Gaming Hall of Fame"
Origins Award, Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts & Design Hall of Fame Honors (2004)
Four time winner of Games Day's "Best Games Inventor" (1979–82)
GenCon 2007 (40th Anniversary), Premiere Guest of Honor
Gary Gygax was tied with J. R. R. Tolkien for #18 on GameSpy's 30 Most Influential People in Gaming (Gamespy Magazine, March 2002).
As of March 13, 2003, Gygax was listed under the entry Dungeons and Dragons in the Oxford English Dictionary.
A strain of bacteria was named in honor of Gary Gygax, namely "Arthronema gygaxiana sp nov UTCC393".
Sync Magazine named Gary Gygax #1 on the list of "The 50 Biggest Nerds of All Time".
SFX Magazine listed him as #37 on the list of the "50 Greatest SF Pioneers".
In 1999 Pyramid magazine named Gary Gygax as one of The Millennium's Most Influential Persons "at least in the realm of adventure gaming."
Gary Gygax was commemorated in webcomics series xkcd's comic #393 "Ultimate Game", Penny Arcade's "Bordering On The Semi-Tasteful" and Dork Tower's "Thanks for the Worldbuilding Rules", on Order of the Stick and in GU Comics' "The Journey's End".
Following the announcement of his death and as a tribute to him, several Dungeons and Dragons players proposed to call a natural 20 dice roll (on the Dungeons and Dragons emblematic 20 sided die) a "Gygax".
"I would like the world to remember me as the guy who really enjoyed playing games and sharing his knowledge and his fun pastimes with everybody else."
Arthor C. Clarke brought us many amazing novels including 2001 and Rendezvous with Rama, the former being made into a classic Sci-Fi film, that included such things as ....silent space!
Ernast Gygax, gave use dice that broke the 6 sides barrier.
We salute them both and as we mourn their passing...we also celebrate their lives.
On a lessor note, we had some playlist issues that caused us to go two days without music. Sorry our bad.
Finally We have mail...and it looks like...WHAT IT'S FOR IJ DEE_VO!
Alright IJ Dee-Vo now you get yours. All you do is sit around that stupid bunker with that ignorant Little Mouth and let Tachl and Sock Monkey fight your battles. Let's get you out and fight some real, dark, battles. If you have any co hones at all you'll jump at the challenge. Your adversary, Razor Spinback
IJ Dee-Vo: Hmm wow where do I start.
One: I do lots of stuff actually, I scour the world taking in music, filtering it and dispensing it out among the Internet.
Two Little Mouth is not ignorant, Little Mouth simply doesn't have that big of a brain capacity.
Three. Most of their battles are amongst themselves, and I have to clean up after them.
Four: Battles? Let me bring up the video, from camera 12...hmm, looks pretty peaceful and..wait what's that? It's....a snail Oh no, its coming for us... it should get here in a couple months. We battled demons, metroids, the MIAA, so we have had quite a few thank you. More then enough to last us till umm next week.
Five: Co hones? What are those? I may have some, who knows what we have around this place.
...
...
...
Um wow, I had thought that a showdown between the greatest cybernetic scientists would have a bit more rock'm sock'm action and a bit less utilization of blackboards and chalk. Well while they are attempting to disprove each others theories, I guess we have time for a couple letters.

IJ Dee-Vo: Eww they are mucusing up the place. They do add a bit of color though. Bye Everyone!
Just sit right back & you’ll hear a tale,
a tale of a fateful game
That started from this tropic port
aboard this tiny plane.
The mate was a speedy blue hedgehog,
The pilot a two tailed fox.
They took off following their radar that day,
over ocean and rocks
Over ocean and rocks.
The weather started getting rough,
the tiny plane was tossed,
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Tornado would be lost,
The Tornado would be lost.
The plane's a-ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle
With Sonic,
Tails too,
Marine and Blaze,
The Pirates:
Captain Whisker and Johnny
Here on Southern Isle.
So this is the tale of the castaways, they’re here for a long, long time,
They’ll have to make the best of things, it’s an uphill climb.
Sonic and Miles "Tails" Prower too, will do their very best,
To make the others comfortable, in their tropic island nest.
No phone! No lights! No motor cars, not a single luxury,
Like Robinson Crusoe, as primitive as can be.
So join us here each week my friends, you’re sure to get a smile
From anthropomorphic animals, here on Southern Isle!
Well Sonic has been chillin with us for the week and now It is just moments away from dawn on Groundhogs....Hedgehogs Day. So lets open up the blast doors and see what will await us, Sonic, do your thing.....Yes he is outside, Yes the sun is now up...He is looking around, and so far so good, he has not seen his shadow yet.
Shadow The Hedgehog: Sonic! So we meet gain here of all places.
Sonic the Hedgehog :Shadow hey what brings you here?
Shadow The Hedgehog: Sonic I am the one and only ultimate life form and I have come here to prove it, Race me to determine who is the ultimatehog!
Sonic The Hedgehog: Well bring it on!
IJ Dee-Vo: Well It looks like Sonic has indeed seen his Shadow, and it will be a one one one race to determine If Spring arrives early or Lag behind. But that's next week, So come on you two, be nice and lets chill in front of the big screen and play Mario Party together!

IJ Dee-Vo: Well um, see you next week, I hope.

I won't count the coming up, main or even the what's new page.
So not counting that...what is new?
Well our music sure isn't..or it is...
You see its the first we played it here but its all from the last half of last year. So I hope you enjoy it.
Also we have a new listener. That makes 157!
We also have new dots. How many new dots? 9. Ranging from Canada, the Canadian/USA border, east coast, west coast, Florida, the Midwest, all over. We are also heard in Japan, United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy, and either the Netherlands or Belgium. Way to go people, we are coving the globe! Well now what else is there? Well we don't have anything else left...wait...oh ya, one small thing of no significants, We seem to have a page dedicated to Tachi. Like I said no significance.
IJ Dee-Vo: Sock Monkey, come on out of there!
Sock Monkey: N0, I W0n'+!
Tachi: I KNOW HOW TO GET GET HIM OUT OF THERE, GET THE CATTLE PROD.
IJ Dee-Vo: Sock Monkey why are you hiding in the vents?

Sock Monkey: w3Ll, WH4TevER.
TACHI: I GOT THE CATTLE PROD AND WITH THAT BIG RED TARGET I CAN'T MISS!
Lets read it......
To Tachi and Gork
This is a warning from Mama Spinback- I am in the process of training an army of monkeys and when I have them fully trained, their first mission will be to go to I-J studios and find Tachi and destroy him. Next they will find out who this Gork is and destroy him too. This will be done for the preservation of monkeys everywhere. Oh yeah and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to all.
Signed,
Mama Spinback
P.S. Sock Monkey your safe !
IJ Dee-Vo: Wow...that's heavy...ummm....
Tachi: BRING IT ON! BOTH CANNONS CHARGED AND READY! GORT BUDDY, VIVA LA REVOLUTION!
Sock Monkey: 1'll be $URe +0 lE4VE +HE l1GH+5 on 4nD 8L4S+ Do0R$ 0PEN!
IJ Dee-Vo: Now now, no one's destroying anyone and remember It's the the size of the dog in the fight, its if you can out run the other guy!
Well Remember last year when we were overrun by monkeys...well here we are once again experiencing the same technical difficulties. Ape Antics. Monkey Madness. Simian Sideshows. Primate Party. And what started this mess? The Album of Donkey Kong Remixes, Kong in Concert! So in celebration of this, and to appease our ape overlords, we will play this and the other Donkey Kong remixes. We are also throwing in the mix, most of the music from our new artists, enjoy!
Mail time...lets see what we have...
First one is from our good Friend CLING.
Hi Dee-Vo and Happy New Year from CLING
Thank you for all of your support and airplay in 2007, if you would like to let your listeners know of the information below we would be very grateful.
We have for some time been looking at ways to make all of our music available free but we do need to make money to eat, sleep, and be happy. TuneSquare is a new ad-supported music download service that lives somewhere in between the world of illegal P2P sites and paid services like iTunes and Rhapsody.
We have made all of the tracks from our debut CD Sonic Spells available as free downloads from TuneSquare. When you download our music we are paid a small fee but it is all based on the amount of downloads an Artist generates so the more people that visit our profile at TuneSquare and download our tracks the more money we get paid and you get our debut CD Sonic Spells FREE!
There is no registration and no other catches we get a small fee each time one of our songs is downloaded, so if this works it will enable us to allow free downloads of all of our music past and future, and we will still make some money, but we do need to get a lot of downloads to make it work so please help us by downloading our music and also help us to spread the word and tell all of your friends.
To download tracks use this link http://www.tunesquare.com/default.asp?pg=profile&mID=237 6 and when you reach our profile click on the music tab and download the track(s) of your choice.
We wish you a happy and prosperous New Year
Best wishes
CLING xx
Thank you CLING! Tachi...guess what. A message for you.

IJ Dee-Vo:Well the real important thing is that I get all my MST3K Dvds.
Now in honor of the season we have a holiday classic for you.
Where the world was filled with holiday cheer.
The Festivus pole was proudly standing tall in the room,
An antenna to attract Yuletide Gift Dispensing Man from the moon.
Each of the IJ Crew were all down and out,
As rats roaches, and vermin scurried about.
Tachi was charging, Little Mouth was sleeping under a rock,
IJ Dee-Vo was passed out, Sock Monkey swinging in his hammock.
When echoing out through the halls
was a sound so loud it shuddered the walls.
IJ DeeVo got to his feet as quick as a flash
And towards the sound he made a mad dash.
The flicker of florescent lights on the metal grated floor
Gave an ominous appearance to the stark decor.
When what through camera 12 did my eyes spy,
But a spaceship hovering there in the sky.
Captained by a large 50's style automaton,
I knew it must be Yuletide Gift Dispensing Man.
More rapid then tachyons his drones did came,
And he beeped and whistled and synthed out their names.
"Now Ampère, now Faraday, now Coulomb, now Tesla,”
"On Ohm, on Hertz, on Watt on Volta!”
"To above area 51, to the bottom of groom lake,”
"Warp factor 6, leave the air force behind in our wake."
As particles from the sun's corona make their way,
When met with an obstacle they cleared it with a death ray.
So down upon the hilltop they all did land
With a UFO full of gear and Yuletide Gift Dispensing Man.
And then a faint twinkling I could just hear,
As a column of light in the next room did appear.
As I stealthily poked my head ninja-like what did I spy?
But Yuletide Gift Dispensing Man beaming down right before my eyes.
He was clad in titanium from antenna to threads.
All of his corners sharp, not one rounded edge.
His body was large, a container for swag.
On his back was a maid in Taiwan tag.
His eyes gave a soft neon glow, his arms hydraulic,
His cheeks rested red, his nose brightly lit.
His expressionless mouth was cut into his face
And his welded on beard was white from tip to base.
From between his teeth sparks did spew forth,
And bellowed out smoke, obscuring his girth.
He had a precision machined face, in his chest a door
That he opened and took a gift to be placed on the floor.
He was a heavy and metal, a well built bot.
A laugh pored out me though it hard I fought.
A blinking of an eye a few rotations of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
He synthed not a sound but went straight to his job
And placed each item with the whirling of a gear and a cog.
Then opening a claw and pointed his arm up high,
He teleported back to his ship in the sky.
He powered the warp drive up and gave the sign,
And away they all flew through space and time.
But I heard him exclaim as he sped away,
“Have a cool yule, and check out my store on E-bay!”
Tachi's list to Yule Tide Gift Dispencing Man
TACHI,
AS A MONKEY LOVER AND I'M SURE IM SPEAKING FOR MONKEY LOVERS EVERYWHERE, I WAS APPALLED AT YOUR REQUEST FOR A MONKEY GUN. THE THOUGHT OF WANTING TO SHOOT A POOR LITTLE MONKEY FROM ALONG WAY AWAY; AT NIGHT IS HEINOUS. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!!!!!! I SUGGEST THAT YOUR PUNISHMENT SHOULD BE TAKING MONKEY SENSETIVITY CLASSES SO YOU WILL NOT WANT TO HURT THOSE POOR LITTLE MONKEYS AGAIN.
AND BECAUSE OF HIS PART IN THIS FIASCO I HOPE I-J DOES'NT GET HIS MST3K DVDS.
SIGNED, MRS. RAZOR SPINBACK
AKA-MAMA SPINBACK
IJ Dee-Vo: Um wow, It looks like she has it in for you Tachi, any response?
DEAR COFFIN STUFFER,

NOT ONLY WILL I NOT OPPOLIGIZE BUT I AM ADDING TO MY LIST AN ANTI MONKEY TTHERMO NUCLEAR DEVICE! ALSO, YOU HAD NO ISSUES WITH SOCK MONKEY WANTING WEAPONS GRADE PLUTONIUM. OR THAT REALLY BIG MAGNET. BESIDES MY GUN WAS FOR ONE MONKEY IN PARTICULAR. YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT TACHI'S FEELINGS SO YOU CAN JUST BITE MY SHINY METAL.....
IJ Dee-Vo: Okay Tachi you're coming with me. I'm sorry about that. Just to show we all care about our listeners, I am sending Tachi to the primate house, cleaning up the enclosures. With the monkeys still in them.
Tachi: HUH?
IJ Dee-Vo: Also you will be wearing this jacket....
Tachi: WHAT'S THIS BULL'S EYE ON IT FOR?
IJ Dee-Vo: Oh. You'll find out. Oh by the way, I IJ Dee-Vo have nothing to do with the views of my estteemed colleage's. There that should get me those DVDs.
Well here we are out on the pristine and glowing waters of Lake Dee-Vo....ie the flooded section of IJ Studios. Today we are hunting ducks in our speed boat. Except instead of real ducks we have rubber ducks, and instead of rifles..We have rocket Launchers. Fun?
IJ Dee-Vo: Isn't this a bit excessive, I mean if you hit one, there wont be anything left
Tachi: THAT WAY THERE IS NOTHING TO CLEAN UP! THERE"S ONE!
Tachi: NO CAN DO< EACH OF THESE DUCKS ARE MARKED FOR DEATH.

IJ Dee-Vo: I am thankful for IJ Studios,

our ability to somehow pull through what ever weekly disaster falls upon us,
the Bill Of Rights,

We at IJ Studios wish you a very thankful Thanksgiving, and double that to those who worked hard cooking for it!
1. We have a new Coming Up.
2. We updated Main.
3. Two people likes us.
4. Two people loves us! That means they made IJ Studios their favorite live365 station.
5. The last two mean we have 148 listeners, just sigh of 150, come on I know we can reach it!
6. We have a new friend! ROBOMO, supplying Missouri with its conquering robot needs!
7. Navi has been updated which mean we have a new feature!
8. And that new feature is in fact...well lets face it, a collection of some really old stuff. Some of our coming ups may provide you with minor amusements to get you through to mediocre existence so we gathered them up and dusted them, cleaned them, gave then a nice new coat of paint, and are presenting them to you used in our Past Wents section.
9. We updated What's new. Should we really be listing this as an update?
Finally on a more and unusually serious note we have a special tribute dedicated to those brave men and women living among us who fought in bygone wars. Thank you for defending us, you will never be forgotten.
1. The constitution
2. The box has democrats in it!
3.Hopefully it's a CD with a website improvement program and a spell checker!(Very Funny. Hey this place has seen vast improvements since its first appearance, and most if not all errors executed..err I mean lovingly fixed. Sock Monkey is a coder not an English teacher. Plus he speaks in 1337.)
4. From the one and only guy ever to give me a donation, (HINT) Razor Spinback says... Hi ij, it's your old fiend(friend), Razor What's in the box? Well, maybe it's FREEDOM. Freedom to play the music you want to anytime you want. Freedom to share the music you pay for with your fiends(friends). But, be very careful, freedom can be a dangerous thing. Especially in the wrong hands. Sock Monkey for instance! It could be a copy of the Constitution and you could show the MIAA all of our rights they are breaking. Most likely I think it's a Weird AL cd that SM could play over the intercom and drive all the agents out of the silo screaming and holding their ears. Your old fiend, Razor Spinback Well he is the closest to what was in the box. So what was in it Well let's find out.

IJ Dee-Vo: There may be no IJ Studios left if you don't do this. Little Mouth, guard the safe.
Little Mouth:
EVERYONE(cept Little Mouth): NOT NOW!
-meanwhile at
MIAA Agent 1: Lets get started, once we set these EMP bombs off, No MP3 will survive
MIAA Agent 2: Hahahahahahah Yes This will strike a big blow to alternative music as one of the largest collections is erased as 1's and 0s are flipped and circuits get fried!
-the lights go out-
MIAA Agents :What happened?
-Two red dots appear on the agents-
MiAA Agent 1: Hey you got something on you, wait it wont come off.
MIAA Agent 2: Hey you got one two...oh oh
Tachi: DROP YOUR WEAPONS YOU HAVE 5 SECONDS TO COMPLY....
5...

-The MIAA agents drop their weapons-
Tachi: HANDS ON YOUR HEAD AND LAY FACE DOWN ON THE GROUND
-The MIAA agents do so-
Tachi :NOW SING "THIS IS THE SONG THAT NEVER ENDS".
MIAA Agent 1: But it goes on and on my friend.
MIAA Agent 2: Some people started singing it not know what it was and they'll keep on sining just because...
TACHI: SING IT!
-Meanwhile at the reactor, the retrofitted warhead of the missile inside IJ Studios-
MIAA Agent 1(a different one from the others but 1 in this group): If we make this thing go critical it should be the end of this place.
MIAA Agent 2(Same goes for this one): Won't that get us, even if we have it on a timer still it's nuclear
MIAA Agent 1 :Naw this place can take a hit from a nuclear attack on the outside, so it can contain one from the inside!
IJ Dee-Vo : Cease and desist your wrong doings you scalawags!
MIAA Agents :Ha there is nothing you can do to stop us, we are everywhere here now! Your days of individualist broadcasting is over, Soon the whole world will be under one standardized format of entertainment, one that we create and control!
IJ Dee-Vo: Umm...wow, I was really hoping that would stop you. I didn't really think I had to go any further.
MIAA Agent 1: Any last words...
IJ Dee-Vo: Umm...Hans Solo shot first!.....no...wait....Call me Ishmael...no. I know.....Grab them Timmy!
MIAA Agent 2 :What stupid last words, but hey what ever floats your...HEY!
-Tentacles arise from the floor grating over the eerie green glowing water under the reactor and entwine around the MIAA Agents extremities-
IJ Dee-Vo: Thanks Timmy I'll give you a whole box of saltless saltine crackers for this!
-Meanwhile after several hair raising encounters and suspenseful moments, each a story in of itself but no doubt would cause your brain to explode our shocking simian sidekick Sock Monkey makes it to the media center where one can pipe any image and sound from one place in IJ Studios to another-
Sock Monkey: 7|-|15 d\/D, 15 /\/\4|<1|\|9 /\/\3 Ph33L 4LL 71|\|9L'/, 1|\| 4 b4D \/\/4'/. 1 jU57 |-|0P3 17 d035|\|'7 /\/\4|<3 7|-|3 bLU3-R4'/ pL4'/3R r3L3453 7|-|3 /\/\491( 5/\/\0|<3. 7|-|3R3 pL4'/3R 0|\|, d15( 1|\|53R73D, |-|17 pL4'/. 0|< (0\/3R j00R 34R5 4|\|D 3'/35 3\/3R'/0|\|3!
-And then the worst movie ever made started to play through each screen, through each speaker causing all MIAA Agents to leave many during the opening credits, and none remained for the end credits. But our friends at IJ Studios payed a hefty price, requiring many long psychiatric sessions, the plants in the hydroponics garden wilted and became stunted, and yes the blue ray player did indeed loss it's magic smoke, forcing IJ Dee-Vo to buy a new one. The DVD did survive and so was reboxed and sealed in the vault hopefully to never be seen again-
Well that's exactly how it went down, Hope you had more fun reading it then we had living it. So exhalted listeners what do you think?
-Sometime Halloween Morning-
Sock Monkey: |-|3'/ 1j d33-\/0 j00Z 907 /\/\41L.

-Later that evening the same day-
-Ding Dong-
IJ Dee-Vo: Someone's at the door, Sock Monkey bring up video feed from camera 12. Oh it's trick or treaters, well let's see, hey peanut butter cups....aged peanut butter cups.... 3 years , what a vintage! I'll just go give them these.
-IJ Dee-Vo makes his way up to the blast doors and opens them-
Trick or Treaters: Trick or Treat!
IJ Dee-Vo : Come on in I have a treat for you.....wait a second....You're not trick or treaters you're...!
Trick or Treaters: MIAA, here to shut down this place on violation of creating an alternative music station not part of main stream media!
-IJ Dee-Vo Hits the alarm-
MIAA Agent: There, I've got control of the defense system, there is nothing you can do! Wait Come back here!
-IJ Dee-Vo makes his way down to IJ Studios with the MIAA in hot pursuit-
IJ Dee-Vo: Everyone MIAA has infiltrated IJ Studios...Its an alphadeltapickle scenario!
-the IJ Studios Crew scatter-
MIAA Agent: Forget them, now that the defense systems is down, we just need to crack into their computer and erase erase all data and destroy all CDS.
-an hour later-
MIAA Agent:Their password is over 5 million characters long! Even with this code cracker it will be awhile.
MIAA Agent: That's ok, as long as we have this place under our control we can take all the time we want. Soon everyone will have to come to us for all their media needs, and experience only what we want them to experience.
MIAA Agents: MWHAAA MWAAHHA MWHAA
-IJ Dee-Vo in a secured location takes out a walkie talkie.-

Sock Monkey: Aiia aii aii!!!
Tachi: I require Crazy Glue.
IJ Dee-Vo: Oh I have it here.

IJ Dee-Vo: Hey Tachi.

Just what is the Secret of Mana, well listen to us all this week, and you may just find out! Now let me tend to this new tree that had popped up in the hydroponic garden, something tells me it may be important. Enjoy!
It's our t-shirt! Here that Greg, it is coming to you. Sadly Archon 31 has come and gone without our presence. It has always been on October, and well when they changed it to August, not only was it a big surprise, but several things were going on with us and well, we were unable to attend. I guess that means we have to redouble our planned activities to make Archon 32 really special. Archon let this be a lesson, once you have a good thing going... DON'T CHANGE IT!!! We discovered another thing that was giving
The last line will be on the back, the rest on the front. Well thats about it. Oh wait, one last thing...our hit counter reached 700! Have fun!
(IJ Dee-Vo takes out his electric banjo)
There was a feller known as IJ Dee-Vo
Strange guy with an Internet show
Polluting the web with his MP3s
Well in between his webcasts he'd while away
Hours with his orc warrior on WoW most of the day
Immersed in a virtual world where he felt free
Well he received an email from those Blizzard Folks
Said there's going be an expansion pack and it wasn't a joke
That there will be a collectors edition filled with swag
Well IJ Dee-Vo had the previous collectors stuff
But knew it wasn't enough
This new one was something he had to bag
So the first thing you know IJ Dee-Vo started counting the days
And he had saved up all of his mon-ay
For when that release date would come around
He got together an Orc Warrior Costume
Modeled after his character a level 52
And in this get up he drove into town
He set up camp the night before
Positioning himself right by the door
Effectively blocking the way into the mall
The night was dark and the concrete hard and cold
It was enough to scare off even the bold
But he was determined to beat them all
Well morning did come and the sun did rose
IJ Dee-Vo woke up and sprung to his toes
And was first in line and shouted “HOOORAY!”
But the way was blocked by a security guard
He stared for a while and shook his head hard
“We don't cater to orcs here no way.”
So IJ Dee-Vo started to roam
But each place was the same so he went back home
Went online and bought it on Ebay
Happy Birthday to you...
Happy Birthday to you...
Happy Birthday to United States of America...
Happy Birthday to you...
Oh ya, two more weeks left to save Internet radio!
IJ Dee-Vo: It's a mad house out there A MAD HOUSE!
Sock Monkey: You're telling me.
IJ Dee-Vo: You're ok?
Sock Monkey: Of course no way a demon can ever catch a monkey!
IJ Dee-Vo: What are you doing?
Sock Monkey: They invaded the Blue Cubed super computer.
IJ Dee-Vo: So that's why IJ Studios is being blasted with this infernal sounding music?
Sock Monkey: Probably, but I can't do anything from this terminal while we are on backup power.
IJ Dee-Vo: The nuclear generator has to be manually activated in the power room.
Sock Monkey: So someone has to go down there and the elevator isn't hooked up top the emergency power grid.
IJ Dee-Vo: What about Tachi? Tachi is responsible for this whole mess. Buying that box on Ebay from Pandora just to have a place to store the collection of potato shaped celebrities. I knew that opening it would be trouble.
Sock Monkey: I saw Tachi on level three....
IJ Dee-Vo: Great lets go...
Sock Monkey: and level four...
IJ Dee-Vo: What? Is Tachi stuck on the elevator between floors?
Sock Monkey: and level five.
IJ Dee-Vo: Oh...um...ewww. Well we can clean up the mess later.
Sock Monkey: If there is a later.
IJ Dee-Vo: Wow, it's a win win situation! So who is going to turn on the nukegen?
Sock Monkey: I have to stay here and try accessing Blue Cubed.
IJ Dee-Vo. Well That's just prime.
Little Mouth: I'm called Little Mouth. That's because I have a little mouth. Whenever I go out, people always shout “There goes Little Mouth!”
Sock Monkey: Oh no, if anyone had to survive a horde of rampaging demons it had to be you!
IJ Dee-Vo: Of course! No demon could get close enough long enough in Little Mouth's presence to attack! Wait....no....yes...no...yes I have an idea!
Sock Monkey: First Little Mouth, now this, we are doomed.
Little Mouth: When I get an idea, my head hurts, then I take aspirin. I like blue berries, they make my tongue swell and go numb.
IJ Dee-Vo: Ok Little Mouth, you stay here with Sock Monkey.
Sock Monkey: What...NO!
IJ Dee-Vo: Listen you're going to need Little Mouth to keep the demons at bay, while I take the automatic rifle with laser site with me to the generator
Sock Monkey: Why don't You take Little Mouth and I get the gun?
IJ Dee-Vo You can't be working on the terminal and be shooting at demons at the same time.
Little Mouth: Yay! I like sock Monkey, Once he gave me blue furry bread to eat...it made neat stuff come out my mouth for days.
Sock Monkey: Can't we trade jobs then?
IJ Dee-Vo: No, you're best suited for this.
Sock Monkey: Great, I rather be with the demons, they are a lot more hospitable.
IJ Dee-Vo: Little Mouth I want you to stay here and tell Sock Monkey all the things that has happened to you. OK?
Sock Monkey: So cruel.
Little Mouth: Okay! One day I was eating A Banana but it turned out it wasn't a banana, but a banana slug! It got away and made my mouth all mucussy.
Sock Monkey: What are you doing now?
IJ Dee-Vo: I'm Duct taping this flashlight to the rifle. I barely made it up here with having to switch between them. Well wish me luck!
Will IJ Dee-Vo get the power back up? Will Sock Monkey get Blue Cubed running? Will Little Mouth drive Sock Monkey insane? Will they find a way to defeat the deadly diabolical dastardly demons?

Also we know have 110 listeners yay!!!! Finally it's Mother's day. Well that we all had to contend with the hedgie like Lavos and its spawn. Not only did it cause worldwide genocide (especially the poor little trilobites!) but it is ill mannered and is hogging the remote. Fortunately we were aided by a large frog, a cat girl, an egg shaped robot and a dinosaur thingy in clearing the pests out, just in time to for Mother's day..or was that smother day? Anyway we are playing Mother's Day music,and music that after licking toads and hitting yourself in the head with a frying pan may be considered Mother's Day music. In additions we are playing the hit new album Project Chaos. It features remixes of Sonic 3 & Knuckles music. Enjoy...or don't.
What's new?

Well we waited in anticipation for our package to arrive, and I nearly mauled the UPS man when he brought it out. We used Dr. Eggman's Egg-omatic to bring it inside and after assaulting the crate with a crowbar we were caught up in an avalanche of Styrofoam peanuts. After digging my way out, there before my eyes was a bright new , blue, mint Mega Man robot. I'm telling you, after 17 years of condition, it was all we could do to hold Robotnik back from blasting away the blue guy. Of course we threw away the manual, immediately, as those or simply there to confuse you, and immediately turned him on. He whirled to life and in no time, was wearing a French maid outfit scrubbing the green radioactive sludge of the floor in the kitchen. Yep he makes a fine peanut and jello sandwich too, to bad it was those Styrofoam peanuts. Too bad Robotnik kept trying to reprogram him to take over the world. So in honor of our new acquisition, we will be playing Mega Man music all this week(not the tv theme song though, i mean come on it had only 9 different words repeated again and again). Enjoy.
IJ Dee-Vo: “So Dr. Robotnik what is your IQ?”
Dr. Robotnik:“300”
IJ Dee-Vo: “What's your weight?”
Dr. Robotnik: “300”
IJ Dee-Vo: “What's your favorite movie?”
Dr. Robotnik: “300”
IJ Dee-Vo: “I am thinking of a number between 1 and 1000. What is that number?”
Dr. Robotnik: “300”
IJ Dee-Vo: “Whats your cholesterol?”
Dr. Robotnik: “300”
IJ Dee-Vo: Heart rate?
Dr. Robotnik: 300
IJ Dee-Vo: “So Dr Robotnik just how many games will Sega make with you in it?”
Dr. Robotnik: “300”
IJ Dee-Vo: “So in your favorite movie, how many Spartans were in it?”
Dr. Robotnik: 300
IJ Dee-Vo: “Whats your favorite number”
Dr. Robotnik: “300”
IJ Dee-Vo: “What time is it?”
Dr. Robotnik: “0300”
IJ Dee-Vo: “Why so it is while seeing its so early, or late this concludes this interview, and may you come back again my good doctor!”
Well for those of you that bother to look at the IJ Studios site regularly you may have notice us saying we were shutting down this place. You may also have noticed we are still here. Well.......................
