[Kzyxtalk] Thank you, masked woman.

/“The largest peaceful protest in U.S. history was our 2017 Women’s 
March. Of the 5,246,670 participants nationwide not a single person felt 
the need to arrive in tactical gear waving an assault rifle. I guess the 
shelter-at-home protest has more pussies than we did.”/

The recording of last night's (2020-05-15) Memo of the Air: Good Night 
Radio show on KNYO-LP Fort Bragg and KMEC-LP Ukiah is right here:

Furthermore, at https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll 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:

Here’s radio nutcase Alex Jones played over video of a pizza company’s 
eerie animatronic giant rat mascot. And you know what? It works. They 
should hire him, or sponsor him. They’d have to get him to agree not to 
take his shirt off; that might be the deal-breaker. He likes to take his 
shirt off, probably because he knows his weirdly inflated beachball-like 
ribcage and belly is fascinating. What part of /your/ body do you think 
is interesting enough to call attention to in that way? For me, I’d 
choose the fantasy-book-frontispiece river-system map of veins on my 
ankles and inner forearms, as there’s nothing special about my chest, 
though an x-ray technician once told me I have very long lungs. I said, 
“Is that good?” She said, “If you like that kinda thing, sure.”

Exercise with Debbie Drake. She sounds just like a woman who used to 
call me on the radio to talk in the middle 20-oh-ohs, where at one point 
she was breathing in a funny way. I said, “What are you doing?” She 
said, “Exercising. In my room.”

Thirty or more years ago I read a science fiction story that I’m almost 
certain was titled /The Boy Who Walked Around the Moons of Jupiter/, 
about an 18 or maybe 20 or 22-year-old boy being interviewed by a 
technology reporter because he was engaged in a project to 
early-virtual-reality walk on a treadmill around 3D images of all the 
then-known moons of Jupiter. At the end, the boy called out to his 
mother to come in and clean him because he’d wet himself again and 
couldn’t stop his game without having to start all over. “Mom!” She 
didn’t come in right away, so he shrieked, “MOM …I’m wet!” This is like 
that, except real, and the video-game-playing boy doesn’t care that he’s 
disgracing himself but the mother cares. (If you can find that story for 
me, the Jupiter one, I’d be obliged. It’s as gone as the song, from the 
same era, about Samson’s Radio Dogs that I’m starting to wonder if I 
just dreamed it.) (Another thing but from only like fifteen years ago 
that I’m having trouble finding is a weird ten-minute video of sexy 
dangerous or distressed women on paperback book covers computer-morphing 
from each to the next over music made of OOOoooming sounds and metal 
squeaking and clanking– it was called /Pillow Girl/. That’s gone. But in 
compensation I’ve just learned the Urban Dictionary definition of the 
term: “A Pillow Girl is a female who puts many pillows on their bed that 
they don’t sleep with. /What a Pillow Girl she is./” I like that and 
will be saying it occasionally on the radio, where appropriate: What a 
pillow girl she is. Also it might be a cute thing to say in a baby-talk 
voice to your pet dog. It doesn’t have to mean anything; dogs go by tone 
of voice. /Who's a pillow girl? You are. You're a pillow girl, yes you 
are. Yes, you are./

And I just told Juanita I was having trouble finding /Pillow Girl/. She 
remembered that it was made by Ronnie Cramer and so went straight to it, 
though it’s fuzzy and low-resolution compared to the DVD Bob Woelfel 
brought back from a broadcasting convention and gave to me and I lost, 
dang. I’m sure you can buy it and other award-winning Ronnie Cramer 
projects. I don’t have money for that, but you can. Anyway, Pillow Girl.
