From memo at mcn.org Sat Nov 1 18:02:40 2025 From: memo at mcn.org (Marco McClean) Date: Sat, 1 Nov 2025 18:02:40 -0700 Subject: [Kzyxtalk] Bride of Chaotica! Message-ID: Subject: Bride of Chaotica! /"Be strong, leetle vun. Someday they vill all be dedt and you vill do a sheet on all of their graves." -Nadja/ Marco here. Here's the recording of all-Halloween-night's eight-hour-long Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio show on KNYO.org, on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA) and also, for the first three hours, on 89.3fm KAKX Mendocino, ready for you to re-enjoy in whole or in part. https://memo-of-the-air.s3.amazonaws.com/KNYO_0668_MOTA_2025-10-31.mp3 Coming shows can feature your own story or dream or poem or essay or kvetch or announcement. Just email it to me. Or send me a link to your writing project and I'll take it from there and read it on the air. Besides all that, at https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find a fresh batch of dozens of links to not-necessarily radio-useful but worthwhile items I set aside for you while gathering the show together, such as: Snapshot of our local star, Mister Sun, 21:08:56 UTC, October 25. All of Earth would cover just a few pixels of this wild billion-year constant plasma explosion. And all of Earth's people, piled up like bricks, side to side, just to the rim of the Grand Canyon, to make a wall across it, would be only two people thick. And half of the cells in your body are not you at all but rather bacteria living inside you or bugs living in your hair follicles. Your meat robot is their comfortable world, not too big, not too small, just the right temperature, endless supply of yummy rot. All thanks to energy from Mister Sun. https://i0.wp.com/theava.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/sun.jpg How to make 60-proof purple nurple. It's like purple drank but alcohol instead of cough syrup and pop. You need sugar, one lemon, a gallon of distilled water, a packet of champagne yeast, packet of Fermaid, a rubber glove, a single pin, an available refrigerator-freezer, and a pinch of butterfly pea blossoms so the color turns more like weak grape sodapop than like a truck-stop piss jar. It reminds me, as so much does, of when Scruffy said in Futurama, to comfort Marcie because her green Martian boyfriend was unjustly away in prison, "Prison ain't so bad. And you can make sangria in the terlit." Allow me to repeat: science has shown that no amount of alcohol is safe. Two drops of it increase your risk of everything from cancer to dementia. Alcohol kills 200,000 Americans every year. Transvestites reading aloud in libraries kill, what, five? Not 500,000. Five. (I'm kidding, of course. Transvestites in libraries kill zero.) Thirty thousand children are killed by guns every year in America. Some of those, I guess, their gun-within-reach parents or uncles are drunk, but a lot of them shoot themselves or each other. Handguns in the city, long guns in rural areas. And one-third of all car deaths come from alcohol, too. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dM2CN-GR4rU Jesus said to shelter and clothe the poor, feed the hungry, heal the sick, visit strangers in jail, welcome all immigrants, turn the other cheek, pray only quietly in secret and not make a fuss about it, etc. Naw, no, Jesus said exactly the opposite of all that and wants you to carry your gun around in case you need to shoot someone, kick your gay child out into the snow, hoard material wealth, and he could talk your ear off about how much he hates abortion and gay marriage, colloquial funny terms for body parts and dancing on Sundays. Which of those sentences, to you, is "the lines are straight" and which one is "the lines are bendy"? https://x.com/pickover/status/1982886110612353036/photo/1 Marco McClean, memo at mcn.org, https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com
