Musca-Tick-Time

Thursday's guest was 'dan the animal man'. He was all fired up to talk about Lyme Disease and how to prevent it and/or treat it. Basically, ticks host onto deer and mice then end up in the grass. They then jump onto your pets and possibly even you! Symptoms of Lyme Disease include fever, arthritis and heart problems.

At T-Time, we want to put a permanent end to this epidemic that sweeps Iowa in the spring and fall! We are proposing that all deer and mice be executed, therefore eliminating the threat of future disease transmission. We are also organizing a community 'Crop Dusting Event'. We are hoping to contract a crop duster to fly over muscatine on Thursday May 15th. This airplane will disseminate a chemical that repels ticks.

We are asking that all citizens of Muscatine stand outside during the hours of 2pm and 4pm to recieve this free 'spritzing' of chemical relief. Please wear as little clothing as possible to insure adequate coverage.(unless you are a bit unsightly, then use your own best judgement).

Don't forget the pets and the kids, this is a FAMILY event.

Next week, CYWA is back at the studio, along with whatever else we conjur up.

Episode #12 - Amateur Radio

Today's episode featured Tom Brehmer. A former disc jockey in Muscatine, who now scratches his itch for radio through a HAM Radio. The Muscatine Amateur Radio Club meets monthly at the Musser Library and gives local radio operators a forum for interaction.

For more information visit www.muscatinehams.org.

T-Dogg and Yocom were absent today so I opened the phone lines and talked a bit about the smoking ban the Iowa State Government has recently passed. A caller wondered about chewing tobacco, as perhaps taking over where smoking tobacco left off.

While chewing tobacco may not be quite as dangerous as second hand smoke, there are still risks to the general population:
1) You could slip on chew spit and crack open your head
2) Inadvertantly drinking from a chewing tobacco 'spitoon' will do both mental and physical harm.
3) Chics will look really gross with a wad of chaw pinched between their cheek and gum, therefore possibly leading to a decline in human reproduction and subsequent population decline.
4) It will be hard to make eye contact with people who have large flakes of tobacky wedged between their teeth.
5) Baseball players will have to find a new habit to be sterotyped with.

Next week, we switch from talking about 'spitting chew' to 'sucking blood', with our first annual "Deer tick" Celebration Event. You won't want to miss it!

Episode #11 & Smoking Ban

For Thursdays episode, we had Mike Wade as our featured guest. He is running for Sheriff in Muscatine County. He forgot to bring his Taser Gun, so T-Dogg escaped another zapping. I am charging the battery on my handheld "Z-Force III, 100,000Volt" Taser, though, so look for more willful injury in future episodes.

A couple of high school kids kept shadowing me around all morning, so I decided to put them on the show as guests later in the episode.

Did you know that there is an amature radio club in town? Yep, and Tom Brehmber (former disc jockey for 93.1fm) will be a guest to talk about it next week. Apparently anyone with interest can operate their own radio station using FCC reserved radio frequencies. Sounds slightly interesting, plus Tom B. is an aspiring comedian, so should be fun.

-SMOKING BAN-
Rumors of the Pearl City Rugby head coach coming out have not been confirmed, but that is still in the works. If not, then maybe I will take phone calls on this new smoking ban, that means no more smoking in 99.5% of public places including bars and restaurants. That has got to be ruffling a few feathers.

If they don't let people smoke at bars, why not ban them from drinking as well, that is also dangerous to others and a personal health risk? I was trying to lead a healthy lifestyle, so avoiding smoky bars was part of my plan. But, if they aren't smoking in them anymore, they will be more alluring to a healthier crowd... hopefully I don't succomb to the temptation.

But, really, I think owners should chose for themselves, I hate to see too much government control. I, personally, would then only go to the smoke-free bars/restaurants, because I don't smoke and don't think chics that do are worth hitting on. However, that doesn't mean that weekend smokers shouldn't have a place to unwind, and be care free for a few hours.

I guess, though, it is time to end this smoking thing. It is life shortening and raises everyones health insurance. Deal with it, and never fear, society will come up with a new vice, even cooler than smoking to replace this once popular pastime. Not sure what, any ideas? please share.

Also, be advised, this is a ban in 'PUBLIC' places... Therefore 'PRIVATE' restaurants and bars are going to become very popular for some. Yes, the Moose, The Elks, The Lions Club, Knights of Columbus, the VFW, the American Legion, etc, will be gaining membeship.

So, if you are a smoker, don't sweat it. Pay your monthly dues, and head over to the Moose. Current bar owners may see a drop in sales. And don't look for a new, undiscovered clientelle of non-smokers to suddenly decide to start boozing it up and Terri's just because it is smoke-free. Even if they did go, they wouldn't chug down as much hooch...

T-Timin Datin Episode

Looks like some interest in the Muscatine Dating Game/Date Doctors. Perhaps we can bring it back as an episode of Musca-T-Time. I will need to find an extremely eligible (by that I mean HOT) single female. Once I pull that off I will take applications from single males who want to enter the competition to win a date with her. Depending on her specs (age, dating parameters, etc.) I will determine who I take applications from. She will then interview the winning three candidates on LIVE Television and chose which one to go on a date with. Of course, she won't get to see what they look like ahead of time, she will have to use her female intuition.

So single females... Are you tired of the Muscatine Dating Scene? Would you like the professional staff at Access Channel Nine to present you with pre-qualified dating candidates that you can chose from? How about a free meal (on your date) not to mention the instant celebrity status of being acknowledged as one of Muscatine's most eligible single females? If so contact me via email and I will send you a questionaire.

So single guys... Are you a lonely loser who can't get a date? Are you tired of watching cinemax after dark, by yourself in the basement of your parent's house? If so, become a dating candidate for a future episode. You may get to be on the show as one of three contestants. We will even pay for part of the date!

Email your contact info to cbishop@eicc.edu. I will send you some questions to email back to me, and will also need a photo (a recent one, that is actually of yourself). Once I have a handful of candidates and an attractive female, it is game on! I may also elect to use the applications to conduct a LIVE telethon-style 'bachelor auction'. Details to follow.

Thanks for watching.
