Pirate Radio, MOTHERFUCKER
2000-01-20 20:41:15
Beaujolais! Pirate radio is going ON THE AIR! Low power radio stations, bringing ANARCHY and GOOD MUSIC to the bad people of the world! All under the glowing and benificent eye of the FC fucking C! Is this a great century or WHAT?
In a news release today, the FCC announced that they're going to have a new class of license for non-commercial microradio stations to broadcast all over the place. They can send out crazy waves of nuttiness into your car radio! Beaujolais!
This has been a shitty situation in the past, with big black spots like the arrest of the guy who runs Free Radio Berkeley, as well as other schmoes who had microstations. It sucks to get arrested! Just for having a radio station! Screw that!
So now, with the new license class, even IDIOTS like me can get some CHEAP-ASS equipment and BLATHER at my surrounding neighbors. From my house I can probably cover 90% of San Francisco with a 10-watt station. Cool!
Everybody should have a radio station! Have great hits of the 60s, 70s, and 80s! Have light rock, less talk! I want to have a MORNING ZOO with fart noises and wacky pranks! Go get you a license! Let's put on a show!

Johnnie Royale's Guide to Wakes
Wakes can present problems for Bad People of the Future. (If you don't know what a BPotF is, you need to read more of the PDJ.) Sure, your friend is gone and you miss him and that really sucks; it does, I know. But all Bad People of the Future are gonna die, and they have all accepted that fact. They do deserve, however, to have one final kickass party to celebrate all the bad things they've done in the past, present and future. And you, as a friend, have to make sure that their desire for a final send off is well executed (sorry for the pun). That's just the way of BPotFdom. (More...)
