The Sunshine Show November Birthday Club (No. 20)

Posted by Sunshine Dick on Nov 06, 2009

     Well, here we are folks; Episode 20.  Who would’ve thought, when I was relegated all the way down here to the third arm of The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s Radio Division, that it ever would have lasted this long?

     But I’m not one to rest on my laurels, people.  Not by a long shot.  Where other programs would spend this entire hour just a pattin’ themselves on the back and congratulating themselves on what simply amounts to..I don’t know…doing their JOBS, The Sunshine Show thunders on this week with a Listener-Requested Weather Report for Cardston, Alberta and - because it's the first show of the month - The Sunshine Show Birthday Club.

     If there's time, I'd also like to express a little concern for the well-being of my nephew, Trent.  As you may have heard over the past few weeks, his behavious is becoming more and more erratic and it's finally spilled over into his job at the pizza parlour.

     Now, if you'd like me to do the weather for your neck of the woods, or you have a December birthday for The Sunshine Show Birthday Club, or you just want to jaw at me about something, you can mail us an electronical mail note at feedback@cbcradio3.com with "Sunshine Show" in the subject box.  Or just use the commenting section below.

     I think that's it for today. 

     Oh, I'm required to play music.

    Looking forward to the birthday portion of the show.  I'll probably get a December birthday to you as well, I have a good friend who was born on Christmas Eve.

    Dear suckamc,

         I'm heartened to see that someone is excited about this segment.  Even if your picture makes it seem like you're some sort of hippie.

    I think that picture slightly surpasses epic...

    Dear mynameismoe,

         It seems to me that everyone is forgetting a very, very important and special birthday in December.  You know, an enigmatic, powerful man who created a heaven-on-earth in the barren desert.

    Dear Mr. Johnson,

    In your opinion how early is too early to put up Christmas decorations? Because, I went down to old grocery store the other to get some puffed wheat and maybe a cherry blossom or two and they already had there G.D. decorations up!! TOO EARLY I SAY!

    @Sunshine Dick, @aaadamaa

    Thank you both, I'm pretty proud of that picture.  Though normally I'm getting comments like I'm in the Spanish Inquisition, not a hippie...

    Dear MikeV,

         Are there keys missing on your typewriter or something? 

         Do you think it's funny to boast about your grocery store having Puffed Wheat and Cherry Blossoms?

         Brenda's son won't let us decorate the apartment, so we're just going to decorate our bedroom.  Probably next week.

    @MikeV

    every retail job i've had has tried the christmas thing november 1st, and every year many people yell and complain that it's disrespectful to do it before remembrance day. well, that was more for the christmas music than the decorations, though...

    that said, i typically put some sort of decoration up on christmas eve. usually because at that moment i'm home alone and bored waiting for people.

    Dear Mr. Johnson,

    I actually type on an old typewriter that I hooked up to the computer with some old jumper cables so sometimes it works funny.

    @MikeV, @mynameismoe

    November 1 was my least favorite day of the year when I worked at KMart and Zellers.  On came the 6 hour satellite loop of Christmas "Music".  To this day I can't take Christmas music, having to work for 2 months being forced to listen to it is cruel.  Why can't we start the ramp up to Christmas in December?

    Christmas music

    Back when I lived in western pei, in Alberton, one store would always blare "Christmas music" that would fill the entire town.  It was bad country songs, like "Daddy please don't get drunk this Christmas, I don't want to see mommy cry". Seriously.  That's beyond noise pollution.

    Dear suckamc,

         You work at a K-Mart?  Where?  I thought that they were all closed up.  Please tell me which location you're at.  I need to return an electric kettle that doesn't seem to want to work anymore.  Which is ridiculous, because it's only nine years old.

    alas, my K-Mart was converted into a Zellers... I think they still exist in the US though!

    Dear goodrobman,

         Are you hopped up, too?

    Dear suckamc,

         Thanks for nothing.

         Do you repair kettles?

    Dear MikeV,

         Giant Tiger?  What am I, made of money?  No Sir, I do most of my shopping at the various church bazaars, yard sales, and rummage sales down at the funeral home.

    Dear Sunshine Dick,

    I think I am hopped up too.

    @Sunshine Dick

    I have been known to tinker with things in the past.  I think it would cost more to send it to me to have a look at though, compared to just buying a new one.  The unfortunate effect of our throw away society I'm afraid.

    Dear MikeV and suckamc,

         Dear MikeV, "think"?

         Dear suckamc, I'm not going to through good money after bad.  I'll just continue boiling water in the electric frying pan in my room.

    mr. sunshine

    i am hooped up too. um band-aids are moderately gross. but ur right, if its cooked...pick it out and  go on with your life. minor mistakes. i imagine if the customers were suspended from their jobs for something equally minor they would be none too impressed. "oh just a pizza job"...f-u, livelihoods weigh in the balance of your weak stomach.

    Dear Sunshine

    This show goes by so fast.  It feels like it's just started, and now it's half over.

    Can you have this show extended?

    Or maybe just get your own cbc radio station, of your daily ramblings and rants!

    !!!

    Wel, whaddya know!  It's my birthday today too!!! 

     

    happy birthday sunshine show! 

     

    a little stars or shout out out out out to celebrate?

  36. Sunshine Dick
    36

    Dear goodrobman,

         I agree.  Trent will appreciate your support.  I think if it hadn't been a damp, cloth Elastoplast bandage, it may have been different.  Either way, live and learn.

    @Sunshine Dick

    Is this a case of the kettle calling the pot... hopped up?

    Along the lines of cherry blossom and puffed wheat conspiracies, I thought you should know there is a subversive movement here in the States to remove all Classic Tetley from the grocery store shelves. At least where I live.

    Dear aadamaa,

         Well, thank you very much.  There's no possible way of extending this show, though.  The rest of these kids around here are very territorial and afraid that I'll show them up.

         And, no thanks on my own station.  I can't even believe there's three already.

    Oh I'm sure you could take that Craig fellow.  He doesen't seem very threatening.

    Dear aadamaa,

         I can't dilly dally after my show today.  Brenda's picking me up out front.  She drives around for an hour so we don't have to pay for parking.

    An electric stove in your bedroom?

       Well now I know where all the tax payer's money is going. Not all of us here are lucky enough to have four figure salaries, Mr. Johnson, no need rubbing it in.

  56. Sunshine Dick

    Dear tb3,

        I don't want to make light of whatever condition it is that you're afflicted with, but I wrote "electric frying pan", not "electric stove".

  57. Sunshine Dick
    57

    electric fry pan

         That Brenda and I also have to use as a heater.

  58. suckamc
    58

    @Sunshine Dick

    a bonus to using the electric fry pan as both a heater and water boiler, is it would double as a humidifier in that case!

  59. Sunshine Dick

    Dear suckamc,

         Well, thanks there, Macgyver.

    @ tb3

    I do believe the man said "electric frying pan", not electric stove.  don't be ridiculous.  i dug mine out just 2 weeks ago when my folks were in town so the old man could cook us up all the bacon in the package in one go.  useful things, electric frying pans.

  61. goodrobman
    61

    @bio spice

    next time, have him take the bacon out of the package. tastes A  LOT better.

  62. Sunshine Dick

    Dear Bio Spice,

         "Old man"?

         Well, aren't you a respectful daughter.  Unless you, too, are some sort of hippie and are referring to your husband.

    Sunshine Club

    The Sunshine Club is my favourite R3 show, Sunshine Dick you are hilarious! I live in Montreal, but it would be amazing if you could weather-report on Vancouver, where my darling girlfriend lives.

     

    Peace dude
