thought I’d be on fire more than this as an adult." -Steven Wright/

The recording of last night's Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio show on 
KNYO-LP Fort Bragg and KMEC-LP Ukiah is available by one or two clicks, 
depending on whether you want to listen to it now or download it and 
keep it for later and, speaking of which, it's right here:

Al Nunez speaks on youthful motor adventures, the drive-in, the dog 
races. There's the cat drama tale, where everyone involved is the good 
guy and the other one is the bad guy, which is standard for drama. Kay 
plays trombone through the phone. Various poems and arts and crafts, 
science and political and health info. Whimsy and tragedy, cake 
decorating tips and heads on spikes, NASA dolphin LSD trials, the latest 
in cutting-edge sex robot news… It's not just a mixed bag, it's a bunch 
of mixed bags in a blender, the effect I'm always shooting for. Oh, and 
at six hours and fifty minutes in, the one-hour recording of Gina 
O'Feral, Steve Worthen and Mark Friedrich in Mervin Gilbert's and 
Mendocino Theater Company's reading series production of /The African 
Queen/ from last Wednesday, so.

Besides all that, at http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you can find a 
fresh batch of dozens of links to not necessarily radio-useful but 
nonetheless worthwhile educational items I set aside for you while 
gathering the show together. Such as:

Jesse Wiedel paintings, by year. (Hank Sims of Lost Coast Outpost sent 
me the link to this.)
http://jessewiedel.com/paintings.htm

Slovenian trampolinos.

Liquid sheep.

And "You just wanta make sure you don’t make it all lumpy." I’m not sure 
there wouldn't be niche interest for that, though. People get jewels set 
into their front teeth, and tattoos on their face and neck and ears, and 
little metal clothespins that stick sideways through their tongue, and 
they can get a job in the post office or even in a /bank/ now, much less 
a bail bond agency or an adult toy store. I think a penis plastic 
surgeon is limiting his market by ruling out uneven lumps and corkscrew 
shapes and so on. And genetically engineered bacteria that would make it 
light up like a Christmas ornament, or memory-wire mesh implants that 
would make it flip left and right like a Billy Bass in response to stock 
price information on the Fox News chyron or a Dolly Parton song or a 
FitBit feedback loop. The sky's the limit for technological 
self-mutilation in this weird crappy timeline we're stuck in anyway 
since that idiot went back and stepped on the butterfly in the 
Cretaceous. Stay on the path, they said. There was even a sign. But it 
is what it is. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. /Or can 
you?/ Sure, with a syringe. Easy.
