Heavens, imagine a guest host on Radio Baldur!
That would change everything.

Hey, how about octomom?? She can talk!

solosater

Still you should write!

Solo has spoken!

'nough said.

It's apparent to me that you do need a guest host as there is no current host.....

How about IamAnonymous as a guest host?

You can't step down now, Baldur. This stream has the highest number of replies on Think Draw.

Thank you Login and Solosater for your concern.
Radio Baldur's transmitting antenna was chopped down by vandals a couple weeks ago. I have been using duct tape to repair it, which works well as a temporary fix. This gives me small bursts of time to broadcast.
Unfortunately the native fauna seems to enjoy unraveling the tape. Perhaps they use it to build nests or line their burrows, who knows?

'All Baldur, All the Time'
How did this humble program get the highest number of replies?
In all likelihood if one were to itemize them, 85% would be my own comments. That is wonderfully appropriate.

Now going back to a couple posts ago regarding my submitting fiction into the ThinkWrite threads..... I did try that a while back.
My one and only piece was pretty much ignored. I was expecting bad comments and got complete silence, and after using all the key words in one sentence. The rest of my story contained none of the words.
I expected backlash, but it pretty much became invisible

Baldur

I determined that I wasn't cut out for ThinkWrite

On another note, this past weekend Radio Baldur's first charity road race took place to benefit 'Thongicef'.
Sad to say it was a complete fiasco and may not be repeated.
Out of the field of competitors matthew took an early lead.
However the site of him racing ahead of everyone else wearing his skimpiest gold lame' thong caused absolutely every other runner to drop out of the race.
Hastily triage centers were set up.
Most may eventually return to leading normal lives.
matthew was awarded our supporters' very first Gold 'Support Cup', Silver and Bronze went unclaimed.

Well Baldur, there'th a moral to thith. To thucktheed in thuch competitionth, you have to choothe the right thong.

hmmmmm... Baldur, that one WAS a tad erudite (AND posted on April Fools Day), but you're right, sometimes stunned silence speaks as loudly as any cheers, but here in the 'net it can all too easily be interpreted as a soft booooo... too.

MORAL-- we should comment on each others' stuff.
Not to do so is sort of like brushing by people with no words or even friendly looks. Mea culpa.

(Did you know you can enter "Baldur thinkwrite" into Google and get a fairly efficient search ...beats the one here in TD anyhow)

There was a Three Stooges film in which Curly uttered his most immortal words:
'If at first you don't succeed keep sucking until you do suck seed'.
He was brilliant

RIP Curly Howard

I often use Google search to find things on other sites Qsilv, it is very efficient

Robert and I went out to the garden center today to get a few annuals for the flower beds. It was warm and sunny, very much like a summer day so we stopped at an ice cream parlor.
I bought 2 small regular unglorified ice cream cones and it came to $6.03 (USD), Rhode Island tax included.
What the heck is this world coming to?
This wasn't a fancy place, and this was definitely the lower end of the price list..... but $6?

Baldur

It was good ice cream, we did enjoy it.
For the amount we got, including the cost of the cone, the napkins and the wage of the lady who scooped the ice cream this should have cost $1 per cone.
I was being rather old fashioned and had plain-old chocolate ice cream.
Anyone ever notice how chocolate ice cream has a very salty taste to it as compared to vanilla. It's a sinful pleasure.

matthew

MMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Chocolate!!!

Baldur

Oh, the flavor that Robert had was 'Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough'.
This place used to have lemon Ice cream as a special summertime flavor and it was incredible. Not to be confused with lemon sherbet, this stuff had the full cream balance going for it.

matthew

That does sound good... Can't say I have ever run across anything like that before...
