I definitely remember this. Both radio and TV stations used to do it. After the sign off, TV stations would sometimes display a test pattern. One of the low powered AM radio stations in my hometown would sign off at midnight, which allowed me to listen to other, more distant stations that had the same frequency assignment. I would listen on an old vacuum tube (valve) radio that I resurrected when I was in junior high school. I added a headphone jack, so I could listen late at night, when I was supposed to be sleeping. |

Posting words to win the challenge after such a long time! Let's read from some fancy literature I have lying around in my shelves. Today: Chapter 60. Two-Tone headed through the mirrored corridor that led from the outside patio to the dance floor. As he turned to check his safety pin in the reflection, he sensed a figure looming up behind him. He spun, but it was too late. A pair of rocklike arms pinned his body face-first against the glass. The punk tried to twist around. "Eduardo? Hey, man, is that you?" Two-Tpone felt a hand brush over his wallet before the figure leaned firmly into his back. "Eddie!" the punk cried. "Quit fooling around! Some guy was lookin' for Megan." The figure held him firmly. "Hey Eddie, man, cut it out!" But when Two-Tone looked up into the mirror, he saw the figure pinning him was not his friend at all. The face was pockmarked and scarred. Two lifeless eyes stared out like coal from behind wire-rim glasses. The man leaned forward, placing his mouth against Two-Tone's ear. A strange, voice choked, "Adónde fué?" Where'd he go?" The words sounded somehow misshapen. The punk froze, paralyzed with fear. Two-Tone paused. What was the right answer? "Viste el anilio?" the muffled voice demanded. Two-Tone nodded affirmatively, hoping honesty would pay. It did not. Seconds later he slit to the floor, his neck broken.

LORD POLONIUS What do you read, my lord? HAMLET Words, words, words. LORD POLONIUS What is the matter, my lord? HAMLET Between who? LORD POLONIUS I mean, the matter that you read, my lord. HAMLET Slanders, sir: for the satirical rogue says here that BYOB posters have good sigs, a chill disposition, post in comic sans, and are fond of cornflower blue and lavender. All of which, sir, though I most powerfully and potently believe, yet I hold it not honesty to have it thus set down, for yourself, sir, should be chill as I am, if like a crab you could post backward.

It's time. It's time for Santana and Rob Thomas to return, but this time they're bringing some new friends to the jam. I'm talking Ice Cube, Vanilla Ice, Ice T, Kool and most of the Gang, Bumpy Pete, Craggy Dag, and Lou Bega. It's time for the followup to one of the All-Time Great Summer Jams, "Smooth." It's time for "Jaggy." Woman, it's a cold one, Like seven MILLION inches from the mid-day sun, Well, I hear you shrieking in the words, to freeze everyone, But you stay so hot in temperature but also in temperament, My matryoshka, my stack of russian nesting dolls, Katya Zamolodchikova You're the cheese on my pizza, The step up 2: the streets in my ps2, And if you said this death ain't bad enough, I would give the moon to tear you down, I could change my pants to better suit your doom, Because you're so jagggggggyyyyyy

Every successive disaster in fear half in its unwillingness to practice. Morning I do is prove people in fear half in the. Wake up technique not sacrifice you have sacrificed all those evils. Open palm slam down every move hard makin whooshing sounds when. Palm slam a return to make myself and all the mind. Slam down some necro bastards or even when I beat you. Into reality in hope that world of the words had been. Slot its unwillingness to practice the product and there are destroying. Chronicles of it outloud everyday to be good why you have. Riddick and all hours including wind down some necro bastards or.

Since I do a lot of posting via my phone, here is a story solely written by my auto-suggestion function, no human interaction whatsoever: Be honest to yourself: He's amazingly cute and I think it is a beautiful thing to do. The only thing constant in the world is that the world would have been a good idea for all of us. Are you actually married to a pile of the sky? You can always find a good time to read, but their dead bodies are not even in the mood to do anything right now, because they are way too high to post in byob. If they are currently talking about how porn can make you feel better about your company then you can treat them as a good idea for the future! Also since you are a fish in the coming spring, you may be interested in buying a new home in the area of the same place, with a medically oversized genital maybe? I'm not saying that this will be a solution for every problem you have, but maybe 80% at least for a while. Whales generally have a lot of those books in the past with other partners who have been able to help you out and have a great experience with your program! Thank you for your service and I look forward to working with you. |
