strange adult, my daughter will feel humiliated.” -Yolanda Fritz/

Here's the recording of last night's (2023-04-14) eight-hour-long Memo 
of the Air: Good Night Radio show on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA) and 
KNYO.org:

Email /your/ written work and I'll read it on the very next Memo of the 
Air on KNYO.

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

In a sane world, people who believe in demons and imps and Satan and 
angels and gods and leprechauns and goddesses and all that crap, and who 
literally take marching orders from imaginary creatures who torment them 
from the fizzing recesses of their own brain, shouldn’t be allowed to 
have any power in government at all. And if childish impressionable 
people are being influenced to vote a church’s way by churches, which, 
be honest, they are being, churches should lose their tax-exempt status. 
(You might have to click the sound on.)

Twinkies and monkeys. Monkeys and Twinkies. (Hear that in your head in 
the voice of Warren Beatty in /McCabe and Mrs. Miller/, muttering, “Pain 
and money. Money and pain.”

How we get Twinkies. How they got their name. When they switched and 
stopped making them with amphetamine and bananas because they needed all 
of that to fight Hitler and Japan... And now: "More than 55,000 Twinkies 
an hour, around the clock." That's 30 billion Twinkies made and consumed 
every year. The announcer is so right about the value of a Twinkie in 
grammar school: "At lunch, you could trade a Twinkie for /anything/." I 
remember having trouble keeping a poker face when in second grade a boy 
accepted my apple in exchange for a Twinkie. I was filled with glee, not 
only at the Twinkie, to have it, but that this was an indication that I 
might be capable of pulling this trick in future, for anything I might 
want in exchange for a worthless item. That this was something of a 
magical power. /Other people could be fooled./

Bread chips in a comb on a log. Fish sticks in a croc shoe. Tacos on 
cactus. Bloody spaghetti served directly on the tablecloth. Steak on a 
lawnmower. Bacon paperclipped to a wire between plumbing parts. 
Something-larvae in crumb-cradles on a bed of nailheads. Everything else 
on various trowels and shovels, or a toy car, or a potted tree, a 78, 
etc. Shrimp on an actual Barbie. Clothes-pins. But I'll tell you, the 
fluffy milk-coffee in a cup made of a cinnamon roll looks pretty good. 
Oh! Idea: add coffee flavor and walnut bits to Twinkie filling, for 
artisanal Twinkies, /then/ serve them on a shovel. To 300 monkeys, in 
the ad for it. (via Miss Cellania)
