D&D - May 11, 2009

I found a couple strange news stories not mentioned (as far as I know) on D&D today. In Otsego (between Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids), a man "accidentally" killed his wife with a chainsaw. Scarface approves. And a "trolley" operator (a trolley? really? *coughgaygough*) in Boston crashed his train while texting -- yes, it happened again. Ridley and Tony Scott (Numb3rs) wonder if they will have to record another PSA. Best segment from today's show (it should have been podcasted) was a bit past 7am, the "Battle of the Nerds." Yes, I did go see Star Trek, and yes, it rocked. Trekkie all the way. Here's a bit more from the show this morning, courtesy of WCSX.com:

1. FACES NOT NUMBERS - NEXT STOP D.C. (info) - **NEW** Click here to see last month's news article on freep.com and here to read the newest blurb from today!

WE’LL UNVEIL THE BANNER IN FRONT OF THE CHRYSLER STERLING HEIGHTS PLANT (ON VAN DYKE - NORTH OF 16 MILE) ON TUESDAY @ 10AM…AND WE NEED HANDS TO HOLD IT! can YOU be there by 9:45am? email us: dd@wcsx.com

ALL ABOUT FACES NOT NUMBERS
We want to let the people in Washington D.C. know that when they talk about making decisions regarding the auto industry...it's more than just numbers...it's REAL PEOPLE who are going to be impacted by these decisions. We're going to put together a banner with pictures of all the men, women and children who are impacted by the auto industry (workers, suppliers, retirees, restaurants, etc.) and then we'll unveil it to the Administration.
Thanks to everyone at Stahls' ID direct for creating the banner, plus so MUCH more for this project (Elaine and everyone are amazing! - click here to check them out)
2. ARE YOU A GERMAPHOBE? FIND OUT! (link) - With everyone freaked out about Swine Flu...are you being prudent or paranoid about germs? Click here to take the test.
3. CURTIS GRANDERSON - THE CATCH (video) - Check out this INCREDIBLE catch by Curtis Granderson Friday night against the Indians...SUCK IT CLEVELAND!
4. DUCK HUNT FOR MOTHER'S DAY (pics) - In honor of Mothers Day, and game 5 of the Wings/Ducks series at Joe on Sunday...The Red Wings were kind enough to give our listeners 4 tickets to a SUITE for the game! All they had to do was shoot a duck off Rudy's head...and of course, he was dressed up for Mothers Day.
5. BILL DOYLE HATES HIS DOG (podcast) - Apparently Bill Doyle hates his own dog. Today we learned that Shark Eyes regularly leaves his door open in an attempt to make the poor pup run away. In his defense, Doyle says he doesn't do that anymore. So, does anyone else out there have a pet that they truly dislike?
6. USING MACE ON A DOG? (podcast) - Jeff's friend was horrified to come outside of his home and find a DTE meter reader spraying his Jack Russel Terriers with mace. Should the meter reader have at least attempted to ask him to bring his dogs inside before he proceded to mace them?
7. FACES NOT NUMBERS BANNER (podcast) - D&D spoke with Elaine from Stahls ID Direct, the company that is printing the "Faces Not Numbers" banner. According to Elaine, the banner is around 100ft long and will take roughly 25 people to hold it up.
8. CHUCK DALY 1930-2009 (podcast) - Legendary former Pistons coach, Chuck Daly, passed away on May 9th. Chuck was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March. George Blaha called into the show to share a few fond memories of Chuck.
