(Repeat: Show first broadcast @ 6am PT)
Last week, I asked you all to enter The Sunshine Show Short Story Contest. As usual, your generation continues to disappoint me. I don't want to alienate you listeners by itemizing the many ways that you've let me down, but I do want to register at least a little consternation at your lack of gumption. The contest continues in the hopes that you'll help me out on this. I will read one entry on the program this week, but as will be clear, it's not very good.
Christmas shopping season is upon us and I need some extra money to buy my lady friend, Brenda, some finery. So I'll be going ahead and selling some things that I found in my storage locker. The brass has told me that I'm not allowed to use the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's radio airwaves as my own, personal trading post. The way I see it is because this third arm of the service is only available via websites and satellites, there are no airwaves.
My apologies if I seem a little short with you today. Brenda has me running all over heck and back every weekend going to church bazaars.
So listen, if you want to enter this short story thing, here's how:
- must be 500 words or less
- must be unpublished
- must be self-composed (means: written by you)
- no filth
The most important rule? The main character in your story MUST be yours truly, Sunshine Dick Johnson.
So, electrically mail me your entries at feedback@cbcradio3.com and make sure you put "Sunshine Story" in the subject box for cripes sakes.
