A Prediction . . .

You know how News Radio stations all follow a similar format? They do sports at 15 and 45 past the hour and there's weather and traffic at regular intervals?

Here's my prediction: Within the life time of the current President, Gbumbling W. Babushka, News Radio stations in large metropolitan markets will have 'Terrorist Reports' at regular intervals. Something like this:

And now it's time for the latest in terrorist news for the Southland. Here's Ricky Sanchez.

Thanks, Pat. Well, the firefight between residents of San Marino and terrorists looks to be just about over. Organ gathering has already started at the first intersection where terrorists blew up and IED. We have reports that terrorists are gathering near the refinery in Torrance and National Guard troops are reconnoitering. You may want to stay away from Del Amo Road near the refinery for the next half hour.

Now let's go to our eye in the sky, Doug Blankenship, in the KABC A-10 Warhog. Doug, what's the latest?

Hi, Ricky. Well, I'm over the Coliseum and I'm taking fire from a small group of terrorist who appear to be on the way to the DMV building on Martin Luther King. And I just flew over Olvera Street where two terrorists were trying to kill innocent civilians, but Brown Power enthusiasts are now barbecuing their remains. And now I'm on my way to Santa Monica where a group of young terrorist are trying to get bathers to dress more modestly. Back to you Ricky.

Thanks, Doug. Well, that's it for terrorist news at 10:31 a.m., Pat.

They will also have an attractive woman dressing in a bikini with the Threat Level of the Day.

If they somehow tied the orange, red, puce, etc. system to boobs, maybe I'd have an f-ing clue what they mean.

He said boobs...

What would be the point of the woman in the "threat color of the day" bikini on the radio?

It's theatre of the mind, and I'd fill in the breast.

That, or he said "Ricky Sanchez," and I think that's the name of an LA news reporter on FOX TV, and I forgot that Bert was talking about the radio.

Maybe the radio stations are on TV too or shown over the internet and then the bikini girl who become famous and everyone could fantasize about her, but instead of colored bikinis she should be a blow up doll and the threat level should be related to changing breast size.

Bert Bananas said...

Hey, Ms. Nibbles, changing breast sizes have always been about threat levels.

Here's something slightly out of the ordinary: Ricky Sanchez works for me and I used his name in one of my posts in place of giving him a raise.

Fame is so much better than a living wage.

Bert, that's why you're at the forefront of employee relations - bold new promotions that cost you nothing. Up next: "Take Whatever You Want From My Trash" Week.
