That 70's Game

Posting is light due to being trapped at home under two solid inches of snow/sleet/freezing rain. Wait - I'm not finished - and the power has been off since 3pm Thursday. Estimates on power up vary to as late as Sunday. Arg!

When I get out to a power source I'll post some pix. Can't do it now since batt power is limited.

So, we're listening to a lot of radio and keeping an oak feuled fire going in the fireplace. We shift between listening to WROV in Roanoke, VA and WNRN in Charlottesville. WROV has such an imense listening area that we used to listen to it back when we lived in Burlington, NC. (Apparently, at somepoint we made the decision to always live in the ROV listening area, although I wasn't aware of this decision until now.)

At any rate, WROV isn't audited often in my home because all they play is Classik Rawk. I got tired of hearing Classik Rawk in 8th grade. Pep and I hate Classik Rawk so very much that we made up a game years ago where we torment each other with bad or mind-numbingly overplayed 70's Rawk songs. One of us will start singing an awful song from the 70's and the other has to come up with one even worse. In 10+ years of playing this game we can still come up with songs we've never sung before. Yesterday was a gold mine of bad 70's Rawk on ROV. It was a conucopia of songs we've never used in our singing game.

(In case you're wondering how to win the game, you have to be the last one to sing and you can never, NEVER sing a Paul McCartney song. Just like he who mentions Hitler in a flame war loses at once; he who breaks out into "Silly Love Songs," or "Uncle Albert" or even "Mull of Kyntyre" automatically loses That 70's Game.)

So, WROV was a firehose of awful 70's memories yesterday, soaking us with songs neither of us had ever used before like:

Dude Looks Like a Lady by Aerosmith
Renegade by Styxx
and
Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne

I could not believe we'd never used those . . .
