Some more Top Bananas....



When I last left you, I was passing out the Top Banana awards. There were so many awards, I could not limit it to one post. Once again, this year's Top Banana Awards are dedicated to the memory of Suzanne Horne aka Liquid.

The Doctor Johnny Fever Top Banana, or seeing that I already have one reference to WKRP, goes to Jeremy, of Tri-State Media Watch, and Personal Thoughts/Observations from N KY fame. This is an amazing young man, who has taken to this particular group of bloggers. Jeremy is an internet disc jockey, and a born again Christian. I think Jeremy has gotten this blogging thing down pat.

The Starbucks Frequent Flyer Top Banana goes to Melanie, of Me Melanie fame. Melanie is our resident caffeine addict, but she also was a great friend last March when my younger brother passed away. She has also been more faithful to my blog than I have been to her's.

The Escape From Wal Mart Top Banana goes to Michelle Dawn, of Rusin's Roundup fame. Yes I'm awarding a former Evil Big Box Store(tm) employee. Then again, so am I, and so is Mrs74. Michelle Dawn shows a very artistic flair and is a good cook.

The Happy Hubby Top Banana goes to Randy, of The Way I see it fame. Randy followed his wife, Michelle Dawn into blogging, giving his down to earth views on issues that come to his mind.

The Does a Pigeon Really Wear Pants? Top Banana goes to Pigeon, of Tales of the Pigeon fame. Our snow queen from Chesterland, Ohio has some great photos for all to enjoy. Pigeon is another of Jessica and Jen's friends. We became friends through Jessica's Christmas card exchange.

The Busiest Bees Make the Sweetest Honey Top Banana goes to Suz, of Day by Day-My Life as a Busy Bee fame. Suz writes a family oriented blog, an excellent read. As stated in my previous post, she introduced me to Happy Wife. I met Suz through Bella and she has been a very regular reader of my blog.

The Witness Protection Blog Top Banana goes to Martha, of Welcome Back to the Insanity, fame. As many here know, Martha is my daughter and has gone through plenty of difficulty of late. Bella, if you go to her blog, take a look at her web address. I think you'll like it. And, yeh this is a new blog. She deleted her others for reasons I can't go into here.

The Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery Top Banana goes to Matthew, of Wixy Rittman Indian Band Gone Bananas fame. Matthew is a very shy young man who, because of learning disabilities was home schooled. But one of the things he really likes is the Rittman Indians Marching Band, and to my new readers, I am their announcer. Go to You Tube, type Rittman Marching Band in the search engine there and you will see some videos of my favorite group of student musicians there. The person yelling into the mike is me. Cliff Note: I went to Matthew's blog to get the link and noticed he will be giving out awards sometime this month. The first award will be for best announcer. Modesty forbids me to say who I think it might be.

Coming up...Still more Top Bananas!

I just read your daughter's blog...... I too was a stay at home mom......best job in the world. (hardest too).

I like her post and utube of that model transformed.. with elongated neck and all.

I worked at Salvatore Ferragamo when I was a teen (secretary work in the basement). The models shoot.. a skinny sweet cute little girl and they transformed her with make up and clothes and hair pieces into a Goddess.. perfectly Flawless skin.. lol.

I wonder how many women don't realize that.

Also Trya Banks... she did a show on Cellulite that I caught.. (I don't watch much t.v.).. and she showed how bad her cellulite got from not exercising due to her busy schedule with a new talk show..

Wow.. a model with cellulite.. lol........... I like her Honesty.

She is really gorgeous because she has a sweet personality.. from a couple of shows I saw..

Your blog is cool Cliff; and will check out the other blogs you list.. Sunday is a reading day.......so supercool out there today : but going for a walk on the beach... to get some air.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The game was
