On the drive home, I had a CD in the player, but I got bored with it and decided to listen to something on the radio other than talk. So I tried to tune in the Christian music station I listen to with no success - they have a weak signal. I wasn’t in the mood for country. Nor was I in the mood for Christian talk. So I got to the Don & Mike show.

I used to love D&M, back in the day (before they were nationally syndicated and a lot less crude) I listened to them everyday. They had some funny bits and Mike (a fantastic impressionist) had fun characters. They also had a weird cast of listeners who called in so often that they became part of the show.

One of those listeners is Dennis Murphy - a guy who must have ridden the short bus and has a serious speech impediment. I still am on the fence about whether he’s legit or if he’s just acting. In any case, he’s fun to listen to when he’s on.

***warning - in a picture at his main page, he’s holding a copy of a pr0n mag***

Today was some of the funniest stuff I’ve heard in a long, long time. I was laughing out loud so hard that I:

1. Almost wet myself
2. Almost ran my car off the road.
3. Almost wet myself because I almost ran the car off the road.
4. Almost ran the car off the road because I almost wet myself.

Dennis has a new CD out (it’s available at his website) of his song stylings in karaoke. It’s an eclectic collection of tunes - all love songs - even a couple duets with Kelly Sofa. I wish there was a way for you to hear it - it’s wonderfully awful and their rendition of “Unforgettable” is priceless.

Anyone else hear this tonight?
