We found out today that we have a bunch of FREAKS that listen to the show!  Actually, we all have our little fears.  Here’s the full list of UNSCARY THINGS that we’re afraid of…

Rock—twins, clowns, dolls with eyes that move
Sue—balloons, mousetraps, jello
Lissa—mice, big dogs, wrinkles

What UNSCARY THING are YOU afraid of???

 –I’m afraid of driving threw tunnels And riding in elevators. I completely freak out!!!

–Butterflies

–Scared to death of pigeons! Always afraid they’ll peck at me

–Feet creep me out.

–Coffee cup lids at mini marts I always have to take from the bottom of the stack

–I’m terrified of miniature items. Tiny candy bars, small condiment bottles; hotel room bottles scare me beyond belief. I’m afraid munchkins from oz will get me… Those little tiny things are theirs, I know it.

–I am deathly afraid of ketchup. I cant even look at the bottle. I have no clue why but it is so funny tomy fiance that he will hold a bottle near my face just to show people.

–Elevators… gonna get. Stuck in it or cable will break.

–I’m afraid of throwing up so much that I hate leaving my house.

–I’m afraid of attics. I don’t care if they’re finished or not. It all stems from being a kid and getting stung by bees at my childhood home..

–White vans especially with no windows

–The refrigerated dough that POPS when you open it! Just freaks me out.

–I’m terribly afraid of the movie theater!  I just hate being around so many people when I really can’t see they’re faces! It’s scary!

If you’re a regular listener to the show, then you know about my love for the state of Ohio.  I graduated from Ohio U in Athens, my son lives in Kent and I’ve been a fan of the Cleveland Browns and Indians all my life.  But it’s time Ohio gets out of the dark ages and does something about their exotic animal laws.

By now you’ve seen the images or heard the 911 calls:  Exotic animals let loose in Ohio by their owner.  49 of these were shot and killed.

“It’s like Noah’s Ark wrecking right here in Zanesville, Ohio,” said Jack Hanna, former director of the Columbus Zoo.

I’ve been asking myself a few questions today.

Why are we allowed to have exotic animals as pets?

The owner of these beasts claimed to have been an animal lover.  Why did he think it was ok to take them out of their natural habitat and put them in cages for his own selfish reasons?

Anyone know where I can get a Bengal Tiger?

All kidding aside, how was this so-called animal lover able to assemble such a menagerie of wild animals?  Who did he call?  How were these animals brought into the country?

It was a tragic ending to a very sad story.  But it could’ve ended much worse.

These animals should have never even been put in this situation.  They are WILD animals, and should remain in the wild.  No so-called animal lover should be given the opportunity to turn his backyard into a makeshift zoo for his own enjoyment.

Wakeup Ohio!

I’ve been meeting with Tom at Engle Eyewear in Wilkes-Barre the past few days.  He and his wife Renee have an amazing selection of one-of-a-kind designer glasses.  And that’s the problem.  They have so many cool looking shades, it’s hard to decide.

Here’s my final 4 picks.  Which ones do you think I should go with?

I think I’ve already made my decision, but I’d appreciate any input.

Thanks!

Let me know of your pick in the comment section below.

Are you into the movie “Paranormal Activity”?  Do you watch all the supernatural stuff on TV like “Ghost Hunters” & “Paranormal State”?  Or maybe you think all this paranormal talk is a bunch of crap.

Either way, you need to join us this year on our annual GHOST HUNT with the Central PA Paranormal Research Association.

We’ve had a few strange occurrences over the years doing these investigations.  One year one of our listeners was slimed.  Another time a strange dog showed up and started barking at a basement window.  We took photos of the dog and there were orbs all around its head.  We watched a shirt on a hanger in the basement as it moved towards another of our listeners.

This year we have a few potential really good locations for the GHOST HUNT.

If you want to be with our team of paranormal investigators, send us an email with your name, phone number and reason you want to go.

WHAT:  Rocky & Sue’s Annual Ghost Hunt

WHEN:  Saturday October 29 @ 6pm

WHEN:  TBA but we will be meeting at KRZ

We made it through another week!  And this one got off to a colorful start.  Sue and I celebrated Monday with food poisoning.  Good times.  I wouldn’t even wish this on those wacko occupying Wall Street.

Imagine getting hit in the gut with a Louisville slugger.  Then Mike Tyson does his speed bag routine on your head.  And just to mix it up a bit, let’s throw in the cold sweats.

The both of us won’t be eating shrimp again anytime soon.

We had a lot of fun on the show Wednesday with the Corn Maze morons.  Imagine getting so lost in a corn maze, you have to call 911.  As one of our listeners pointed out, “it’s corn not concrete!”  They must be proud of themselves knowing the K-9 unit had to be called out to help them find their way out of a vegetable patch.  I wonder who helped them find their car in the parking lot? 

We helped tap the first keg at the Lion Brewery’s Octoberfest at Genetti’s in Wilkes-Barre.  Tasty brew made right here in NEPA.  If you want to save $5 on a ticket for the final night tonight, text BEER to 34-2-35.

Speaking of beer, I’ll be hosting the final Peroni Fest at Mendocino’s Pizza in the Bill’s Shopping Plaza, Daleville, tomorrow from 5-7pm.  These are always a lot of fun.  We’ll have special prices on Italy’s favorite beer, tons of Peroni giveaways, the Peroni girls AND get this…at 9 we give away a wheel barrel full of Peroni!!!  Cheers.

Have a great weekend!

Monday night TV is the gassiest night of the week! Last week Nancy Grace let one rip on DWTS, then this week Kris Humphries broke wind in Kim K’s face during the Kardashian wedding special. Who’s next?
We had to ask. Ever fart in an inappropriate place?

My dad farted in the candy isle and someone came down the isle and said “I can smell the chocolate!” we lost it!!!!!!!!

My fiance likes to fart next to me in a store and then walk away so ppl think it was me

When I first started taking dance classes I would sometimes let one slip out. I would fake an injury because I was so embarrassed

When I worked in the daycare during naptime was always musical with a lot of the toddlers. We used to call it shootin bunnies!!! They giggled.

When my husband was young his family went to a cave for a weekend trip. They could see their breath since it was cool, so his dad goes, can you see this? He lifts his leg and let’s one rip thinking his wife and daughters were behind him. They turn around and find out it was an older couple with their jaws dropped. My MIL was across the cave and heard the fart and basically dropped to the ground laughing uncontrollably for awhile

My dad let one go in kmart and loudly blamed my mom. An older woman went over to her and said “Don’t worry honey… I have gas too.”

At the chiropractors office while being adjusted.

It’s happened to me in my local mcdonalds on the plastic benches which as we know makes it worse more reverb…. I just said holy cow did u hear that

During the peace be with you at church and the kids started cracking up

I was with my dad in Aeropostale and he farted really loud then blamed it on me in front of a bunch of people and they all ran away

Both of my little girls have started farting in public places and pointing at me going “ewww, dad!!” Karma

I farted in the checkout line at Kmart and walked away. The checkout lady looks at the next lady in line and waved her hand back and forth across her nose and points at me. Little
did she know that the next lady in line was my wife. Lmao! So funny. Good thing my wifey loves me.

I do it while I’m driving the bus. When I look up in the mirror you see the faces on the people behind me get all twisted

My boyfriend will “crop dust” anywhere and everywhere!! U don’t know it until u walk into the cloud. Especially horrible in stores!! I just walk away and stay a few aisles away cuz I’m not taking the blame!!

Food fight!

Here’s the vid of the brutal weiner attack on Tiger Woods.

Wow!  Another amazing turnout for our annual Bras Across the Bridge fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.  Breast Cancer survivors, their friends & family and volunteers from the Cancer Society joined us as we strung together hundreds of bras then marched across the Market Street Bridge in Wilkes-Barre.

It was one of the most beautiful Fall days I can remember.

The bridge was lined with bras of all shapes, sizes & colors.  And there was pink everywhere…shirts, pants, hair, bandanas & glasses.

Once again, thanks for making Bras a huge success.

We will see you again, October 2012!

See you again next year–Oct 6, 2012

I was always (and still am) a PC guy. I remember my ex trying to get me to convert to a Mac. Mac people struck me as Volvo driving, granola eating, and PBS watching elitists that viewed us PC users as knuckle draggers from another era.

I never owned a Mac, but jumped on the Apple bandwagon when I purchased my first Ipod. That was just the beginning.

I learned of Steve Jobs passing last night while checking Twitter on Steve’s greatest creation…the IPhone.

Words can’t describe the impact this visionary had on our lives. “Thinking out of the box” is too cliché to describe how I feel about Steve Jobs, but that is the only way I can explain how he changed the world.

Who knows what he would have accomplished in the next decade. Gone too soon.

Thank you for the gifts you left us, Steve Jobs.

(I still have my first Apple product)

Steve Job’s greatest quotes–

ON CREATIVITY
“Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people.”
(Wired February 1996)

“For something this complicated, it’s really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don’t know what they want until you show it to them.”
(Business Week May 1998)

“We made the buttons on the screen look so good you’ll want to lick them.”
(Fortune January 2000)

ON THE ITUNES MUSIC STORE
“It will go down in history as a turning point for the music industry. This is landmark stuff. I can’t overestimate it!”
(Fortune May 2003)

ON BUSINESS
“Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me.”
(Wall Street Journal May 1993)

ON HIS COMPETITORS
“The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I don’t mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don’t think of original ideas, and they don’t bring much culture into their products.”
(Triumph of the Nerds 1996)

STANFORD COMMENCEMENT SPEECH 2005
“When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”

Years ago, I attended Ohio University in Athens, OH.  We’d go to the football games, but only stay til halftime.  Our football team was so bad, but the marching band was amazing.

Here they are doing their version of LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem”.

What do you think?
