Hey, Pink Power Ranger. Sorry to tell you, but mediocre ratings are still
that: mediocre. No matter how rosy you try and paint the picture.

Yep, Pink Power Ranger. It seems that as soon as the net quarterly
subscriptions for Sirius, thanks to Howard, started out-pacing XM those O&A
numbers just seemed to sky-rocket from that 100k mark. What a coincidence,
right Pink Power Ranger?

Right, Pink Power Ranger. No one showed up for the event, Pink Power Ranger,
and it was a direct rip of a scene from Jackass - The Movie, including the
part where a guy gets a trp in the groin.

Why don't you just check with a couple of her former writers through Google,

Read the whole of the posts, before blathering your O&A sychpantic nonsense,
Pink Power Ranger. Oh. Wait. Either you, Pink Power Ranger, or Schwoogie,
snipped out the relevent portion. Once again, Pink Power Ranger, you prove:
your motto: if you can't handle the truth, snip it out and pretend it was
never there. As Schwoogie answered the whole of this particular paragraph, I
wonder who excised the pertinent information? Please do tell, oh mighty Pink
Power Ranger.

O&A proven to be thieves, Pink Power Ranger? You are right, Pink Power
ranger, it is bullshit that they have to steal everyone elses material.

As if anyone else would have those two oon, but as Howard had them, O&A were
sure to scoop them up.

Try again, Pink Power Ranger. Nearly identical in every way. The only
difference, Pink Power Ranger, was a psychologically scarred listener was
O&A's bait while psychologically scarred porn stars were Howard's bait.

That is like someone stealing a car, then calling then calling the owner to
thank them for having a full tank of gas. it's still a stolen car, and just
another example of the fact that O&S are unoriginal.

I love that claim, Pink Power Ranger. O&A made the claim on Foundry music,
so it must be true. Even though it never appeared on their show, etc. etc.
etc. Or the "I Just called To Say " rendtion of those Pat O'Brien tapes. A
listener sent it to both shows, and Howard played it first, yet O&A start
crying "thievery". Meanwhile nearly their whole show is based of bits truly
stolen from others.

Yes. it is bullshit, Pink Power Ranger, that O&A have to steal nearly every
bit or show idea they have ever had.

I guess the several years old postings on the subject at the SFN don't mean
anything, Pink Power Ranger. People went back to 2004 and 2005, to make
those posts about the Ayds bit, when O&A Started playing it, right Pink
Power Ranger? How about, Pink Power Ranger, the owner of the Ayds candy
companu going on Howards show this past March and mentioning how things
started going downhill for his company when Howard and others started
playing that spot as a goof in 87 and 88? I can't tell you whether or not
Howard played that spot before or after anyone else back then but it is for
damn sure, Pink Power Ranger, that he did so a decade and more before O&A
even heard of it.

The fact that all you do is whine and bitch and moan when small things
called "facts" are presented, Pink Power Ranger, is what is bullshit. Along
with the fact, Pink Power Ranger, that your heroes steal most every bit of
material that plays on their show.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that is right, Pink Power Ranger.
