Here’s Sue rockin the bangs with her brother Rod.

=================================

 
The entire Barre family pose for a garden portrait.
Sue is actually only 4 inches tall in this photo, but
looks taller thanks to the stripes & stripes outfit.

Sue giving that “I didn’t steal Dad’s Fanta out of the
fridge” look.  Minutes after this photo was snapped,
paramedics were called when Sue’s high shorts made
it difficult for her to breathe.

As I continue my search for fun NEPA-related initiation activities, I am both shocked and STOKED by how many awesome suggestions I’m getting! But I hafta say: I don’t know if anybody can top this one…. I was contacted by a very cool guy named Chris who’s an instructor at Pocono Raceway. He offered to take me out for their Stockcar Racing Experience!!! Whoa….600 hp Stockcar + 160 mph = Happy Lissa!!!!! Um, YESyesyesyesyesyesyes! I have a feeling that this outing is definitely gonna make our Top 5 – even Chris said (and this is direct quote), “yeah, nobody’s gonna be able to top this…” Hmm, something tells me he’s right.

But keep the suggestions coming – we need several! I also got an email about CBK Mountain Adventures & Camelback, which I was already planning on hitting in a couple weeks so I’m REALLY looking forward to that! We had Megan (from Camelback) in the studio last week and she totally rocks. If you wanna come with, email me. Maybe we’ll even get together a lil ol’ group outing! And I might coerce my parents into doing the zipline with me if I don’t end up going with a bunch of friends. My Dad would definitely welcome the adrenaline rush – he just told me last night that he’s planning on going skydiving in a few weeks…..gee, I wonder where I get my lust for danger. Actually, to be fair he’s also responsible for my lust for Cheetohs, but “danger” just sounds so much cooler

If you have a recommendation for the “Lissa Get Lost” tour – email: lissa@985krz.com

Okay, so we’ve been giving Rocky hell for the last week about his uber-embarrassing childhood pics and the fact that he had SEVERAL Mom-inflicted wardrobe tragedies. He’s been quite the sport about it. But whaddaya know – a very intelligent (and perceptive) listener called in and pointed out that neither Sue NOR Lissa had offered up their own adolescent imagery to go head-to-head with “Velvet Boy” in a pre-pubescent awkwardness showdown. Wellllll…..here we go. And sadly, I had NO say in these photos because they were emailed directly from my Dad to Rocky (yes, Dad’s a huge Rocky fan – go figure). So enjoy. And bear in mind that these fashion crimes are probably far worse than Rock’s, because they were self-inflicted. My dear, sweet, innocent Mother had nothing to do it.

Email us YOUR horrendous childhood pics if you think you can up the embarrassment level! The WORST (read: “most emotionally scarring”) will win tickets and backstage passes to the Goo Goo Dolls on August 7th. Contest ends August 4, 2010. Send pics here: lissa@985krz.com

This classic TV commercial reminds me of the Shake Weight spot running right now. Wouldn’t the ad exec’s see the joke talking about this over lunch?

Don’t blame us if you catch yourself singing “You, your friends and your Johnson” at work today!

Keep your eyes on the girl to the left of the dude giving the toast.  Any idea on what happens next?

So…. as the “new kid” in town, we’re conducting a little research to help complete my initiation into Northeast P.A. What things do I NEED to do? What places do I need to see? Basically, tell me what makes this area famous. Or infamous. Suggest to me ANYTHING you think I need to try in order to become a true NEPA homegirl! Places, festivals, food, sporting events, etc. Then we’re gonna narrow down your suggestions, take the best ones, and I’ll tackle them one by one (I may even bring my parents on a few outings – they’ll be visiting from Michigan during the weekend of August 21 & 22). Thanks for ALL the great suggestions so far & keep ‘em coming!

Email me or call us on the air tomorrow morning –
here’s my cyber digits: lissa@985krz.com

Suggestions we’ve gotten so far:
Coal Mine Tour
Pittston Tomato Festival “Tomato Fights”
Infield at Pocono Downs
Centralia
Fireman’s BBQ/Cookouts
Ricketts Glen
The Tubs
Wilkes Barres Giant Cow

I have less than 6 weeks to train for a ½ marathon and I need your help! If it wasn’t for my I-pod, I wouldn’t be able to get thru the miles of running thru the heat & rain. Joe Snedeker’s wife told us last week that Joe listens to Science Podcasts while he’s biking. We laughed when she said this, but whatever it takes to keep your mind off what your body is doing. Here’s where you come in.

What are the your “go-to” songs that you listen to at the gym or while running? I’ve got everything from 80’s, classic rock, alternative, rap, Jazz…even Sinatra. I’m always searching for new tunes to keep me motivated.

Here’s my Top 5 I-pod songs:

1–Jay Z “Show Me What You Got”
2–Cake “Going the Distance”
3–Butthole Surfers “Avalanche”
4–The Hours “Ali in the Jungle”
5–Busta Rhymes w/ Linkin Park “We Made It”

What songs get you over the hump at the gym?

Wow!  Check out this video of today’s storm in Hershey.  The John Mayer show for tonite @ Hershey Park Stadium was postponed until Aug 5 after equipment got damaged.

Tuesday morning we were talking about back to school shopping and how we all dreaded it as kids. My Mom was the absolute worst. When I was a real small kid, my Mom dressed me like some character out of a British movie. Love ya Mom, but WHAT WERE YOU THINKING???!!!

After looking at these pics you’ll be surprised to learn that I didn’t go through years of therapy…only constant beatings by bullies!

Go ahead, laugh…we all did.

Now without further ado….VELVET BOY! And not to be outdone, Sailor Boy and Chauffeur Boy.

Reaction to Velvet Boy pics:

Rocky-

You were ahead of your time- you were like the Hugh Heffner of your generation.  Nice Velvet.

As far a chauffeur boy- I’m shocked no one has made mention of the bangs you are sporting in that picture! It actually looks like they were curled under.

It takes a strong man to cough up childhood pictures- thanks for the laugh :0)
