Off Air - 75 - Personal Sausages


News With A "Z" - The Off Air Blog

Hi Kids!
I've made no secret about my opinion on children. They aren't for me. 

I was one for a long period of time and regret every second of it.
 
Let me apologize, here and now, to any adult forced to suffer my presence. 

Yep...
                                                              everyone's expression says it all
BUT!
 

Like the Grinch on Christmas Eve my heart grew three sizes last Thursday when a group of Tiger Scouts came to visit the station. I was in charge of the tour & we had all sorts of fun. We recorded our voices; messed around with audio, ran around the back yard. 

By far the highlight for me was seeing one scout's reaction to . . . our filing cabinets. Upon seeing them the young scout remarked: Filing cabinets?!? I LOVE FILING CABINETS!!!!! They're my favorite! Then they all went crazy-cute trying to open everyone at their height. 

You'd think a six year old would go nuts for anything else: The blinking lights, microphones, the audio equipment; but our filing cabinets trumped ALL of it.

 

Uhhhhgh     Bo-RING
                  * YAAAAAAWN *                                   BOOOO-RIIIINNNNNGGG!!!

                  YAY!!!!!!

                                                           















Wha?!?! AWESOME!!!!!



One cabinet was labeled
"P - S" the young man asked me what it stood for and before I could respond he said: "It's Personal. Sausages."    And thus an episode of Off Air was born.

 

This is a triumph …
I blame my new iPhone … and my PS3 … and me. I've been gaming like a madman lately:
Red Dead Redemption, DOOM, the iPhone's Final Fantasy remake.

Embarrassingly I only NOW got into 2007's phenomenon Portal.
 

Portal - Symbols 

I'm blowing no secrets when I tell you - OH MAN!! SO MUCH FUN!!!! I picked it up (when it went all freesies) on Valve Software's Steam platform and that was it. I was screwed. Life shut down until I solved all those puzzles.
 
If you haven't played it, OH MAN, DO IT!!! especially considering its sequel is comin'! Once you're done you're rewarded with a song sung by the sweet / evil computer causing all the trouble you just ran through. 

It's simply a MUST for teleporting enthusiasts (which I bet you are).
