...and this is as true as when she is on Twitter, or on the show, or in her living room, etc etc.

Can you imagine being friends with a person like Robin? Granted, celebrities are going to be self-absorbed no matter what, but it sounds like she was nuts even back in the day.

I like to think that her hair is a good sign of her madness. I can see her hassling her hairdresser, saying that she wants the dreads tighter and tighter and just speaking over her stylist until, one day, the stylist does exactly as she wants. And snickering when she sees Robin, bravely trying to pull off the Pickles look.

I was looking on Dog Star Radio for the Backspin playlist and I can't find it anywhere. Now, I have XM in my both my cars - I don't have Sirius any longer. Is Backspin not available on Sirius?

Edit: Found my answer - but weird:

quote:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BackSpin

On the Sirius receivers in the US and Canada, the channel is incorrectly labeled as Pop2K, which can be heard on XM channel 30 and on Sirius internet radio SIR-6.

How the hell does a channel get labeled wrong?

This is absolutely what I think probably happened with her hair. The stylish knows it's no good, but you know how that goes....gotta give the client what she wants!

Sometimes I get the idea that Robin knows she's a superfluous hanger-on. That might explain her weird-rear end interjections about drinking green slime and stuff -- she's trying to be more relevant to the show.

Maybe she doesn't realize how much Robin is too much? When she plays straight man to Howard & throws out an occasional one-liner, then just reads the news & occasionally jumps in on the goofing, she's fine. When she tries to be a big part of the show, she's unlistenable. But if she's truly as narcissistic as Dr. Drew says, then maybe she thinks her verbal diarrhea is gold.

I haven't watched Vegucating Robin yet. Dare I? Is it the train wreck I imagine it to be?

Pop2k was a channel that debuted with the new Sirus/XM line up after the merger. It was basically a channel to play all pop and dance tunes from 2000 - current.

Backspin was brought back after many compaints a few months after the merger and replaced that channel. I'm guessing a push to update the radio firmware was too expensive/time consuming to deal with.

I still have Pop2K as well, though - it exists. Weird they can't "fix" it.

Hair is just dead skin isn't it?
Perhaps its made from the removed skin from the mutilated genitals of Eretiean children. Thats why she was trying to raise so much money for them a few years ago.

He is the worst kind of smug fan. Is he from Pittsburgh? Did he attend school there? Does he have any kind of connection? It always really bothers me when someone randomly becomes a fan of a team like that. Nothing would please me more than to know he is one of those fans.

When the Jets played the Steelers and lost, Gary said the weirdest thing about how 'it wasn't uncomfortable' coming in the following day to congratulate John Hein.

John Hein or Gary do not play professional sports. Why would either congratulate the other on anything? Because they buy tickets and clothing with a teams logo on it? I'm a fan of MMA but even I don't take it that far.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
The entire staff sans Artie and Will are sports retarded in practically every facet from playing to general knowledge about said sport to fandom. Gary's that guy who tries to look like he knows about sports but the reality is he knows squat, is completely untalented at playing them and is probably just terrible to be around when a game is actually on.

As much as Stern is not knowledgeable about sports, he nails the whole irrationality of it. I love the Steelers, but getting to the point where I border on psychopathic levels of fandom just doesn't appeal to me at 25 years old anymore, or ever has.

I go to a few NFL games every year and my girlfriend goes to Penn State so I know how retarded people get. I don't go around loathing them or anything, but as I get older it just gets more ridiculous. Maybe I'm just becoming a cranky old piece of poo poo like Howard.

edit: I just remembered Sal donating to the pedophile charity in Hein's name and it's still one of the best pranks.

Wasn't Artie a huge loving psycho about the Yankees? Constantly bagging on every other team/person on staff about how many rings the Yankees have and constantly referring to the Yankees as "we" like the fat rear end loser somehow contributed? I'd say that Artie was the biggest sports psycho on staff. Also, didn't Artie suck at sports? I know he talked a huge game, but the guy was a huge whale of a man and there is a youtube clip of him out there making a jerk of himself playing softball or something. It doesn't matter if you played sports when you were 12 and were really good at them, if you weigh 300+ pounds (of fat, not muscle) you shouldn't be acting like you are an amazing athlete.
