    Dr Demento

    Anyone listen to Dr. Demento on the radio? Great stuff. Mid 80's? or was it early 80's? Was it Sunday nights?

    rather have a bottle in front of me than have to have a frontal lobotomy
    SNL Billy Crystal bit with the rubbing alcohol in paper cuts, etc.
    something about a last will and testament--kick in the pants?
    Basketball Jones
    fish heads fish heads--lame, hated that one

      Never listened to Dr. Demento. I did sneak into my neighbor's garage and drink a Dr. Diablo (Shasta's answer to Dr. Pepper) from their extra fridge when I was around 10, though. I felt bad, but I could never decide if I felt bad because I had stolen from my neighbors, or because I had secretly, knowingly, and willfully consumed caffeine (which was verboten in my parents' household).

            I remember trying to stay awake from 10:00 pm to midnight on sunday nights to record Dr. Demento on cassette tape. I tried to pause during commercials so I could get the whole show on one 90 minute cassette. Inevitably I'd either fall asleep about 11:15, or I'd forget to unpause after a commercial.

            That rememinds me of other stuff we thought was funny on the radio back then, such as Jon and Dan and their Mr. Roberts, Mr. Twister, Timmy, and the Bible Brothers. I remember listening to them and then talking about them with friends at recess in elementary school.

              I loved Dr. Demento. Sunday nights. We recorded show after show.

              "They're coming to take me away ha, ha.
              they're coming to take me away ho, ho, ha, ha, hee, hee.."
              "The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

              "They talk about the economy this year. Hey, my hairline is in recession, my waistline is in inflation. Altogether, I'm in a depression."

              "I like to bike. I could beat Lance Armstrong, only because he couldn't pass me if he was behind me."

                I would sit there every Sunday with my ghetto blaster tuned in, cassette tape ready, recording the best of Dr Demento and Casey Kasem's American Top 40.

                  Yes! Q101 was a great local station for a while in the late-80's.
