So the avid reader will recall a couple weeks ago when I almost got on the radio. Well, last Friday I did!

Sarah and Vinnie were talking about cloning, and the morality of making clones for organ harvesting. ("They're still people, clones or not!") I remembered a research experiment creating frogs without heads and called in to tell them people without heads might be the next step. My cellphone was on its last bar of juice, and the car adapter was broken (actually, it's the lighter plug in my car that's broken, but same diff), so I was a little worried about getting cut off...

Anyhow, they didn't revisit the topic, so after keeping me on hold for 20 minutes whilst in traffic, Uze came back to tell me sorry, but they weren't going to get to me. they were about to play the 'Daily Game' though (twice on Friday, 8 and 10) and so before Uze dumped my line I asked if I could play today. She said I'd have to answer the qualifying question Sarah was about to announce, but if so, sure. (They always ask a qualifying question asking about something that they talked about earlier in the show, so people don't just call in for the game if they haven't been listening all morning.) I'd been listening for about 40 minutes, and also a bit earlier when the alarm woke me up, so I hoped I could get it. The question was "What movie will Hooman be reviewing?"

I had no idea.

I quickly thought about what was coming out soon, but everything I was interested in seeing had already come out. I quickly grasped for anything, and remembered that there's an Othello remake, "O", coming out soon, so I guessed that.

Bingo.

So I'm on the air, they ask my name, where I work, that stuff... They ask what the environment's like at Yahoo! and I say it's really casual, and they ask what I'm wearing right now, and as I look down to see what I'm wearing my phone goes 'BEEP!' which I immediately think is it telling me that it's about to cut out from lack of batteries. "Shit." I say, then realizing that the phone was just telling me that my cellphone horoscope had been received, and then remembering that I'm ON THE RADIO, and I hear them scrambling, but they didn't bleep it out. Sarah: "The bleep button's so far away and we only have like seven seconds..."

Anyhow, the question was really easy "Which of the following was not present at the battle of Wounded Knee? General Custer, Crazy Horse, some other Indian, or Paul Bunyan?" It was the second day they asked that question (though I didn't hear it the first time) and the previous person got it wrong. Still, it'd be pretty stupid if it wasn't Paul Bunyan, so that's what I guessed. Bingo.

Four boxes of Clif Bars and two Blink 182 (warning, loud link) tickets later, I get to 'have my own show' for one minute, where I can talk about whatever I want. So, as promised the week before, I of course plugged Ernie-Aid, and the best part is that some friends heard me.
