Talent on loan from the Devil!


Sorry I haven't been around but so much shit has hit the fan that I can't keep up with it.


I do have good news though. They were so impressed by my visit to NPR that they decided to give me my own talk show. Not that they wanted conservative balance, they just want some fucking ratings.

So the "Ask Trooper York" segment will be on at noon on your local NPR station. Please tune in and call.

Yeah, Trooper, this is Sixty, in North Carolina, well, I think it is North Carolina, maybe it's South Carolina, anyway, I'm calling about that time you said that thing about that other thing and I gotta tell you, you were wrong. No, I mean you were right, but I disagree. No, that's not right. I'll take the answer off the air.

Is it going to be like Car Talk?

Chip S. said...

Is this for real?

If so...fuckin' awesome.

Titus said...

Wait wait, I just pinched a loaf?

No, no, Titus. The correct versions are

Chip Talk

This American Chip

Fresh Chip

Chip's Home Companion

You're right that COTFU is the applicable concept, but you've got the wrong Center.

Of course, I'm partial to Duck Heads but devil take the hind part, it might do to consider incorporating "feculous" into the name. With something like:

Freedom to Feckulate
Feculations and Speculations
or FeckYou,

drawing in some of the edgier fringe callers to give your show some pep.

It won't be like Car Talk. Maybe Yacht Talk.

"Good morning, Trooper York, did you buy the parrot, eyepatch and wooden leg yet."

AllenS said...

Dang! Forgot the ? at the end.

Chip S. said...

I say we all phone in on a conference call for the first show.

MamaM said...

...but you've got the wrong Center.

Share the stage with

Chips and Tits: All Things Silicon

Chip S. said...

We'll start with All Things Silly.

After the rubes are on board, then we go to the con.

Really? Moooovalous!

Please do not do Trooper's Schweatty Balls.

Chip S. said...

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

AllenS said...

TY, if you don't have time to write anything, just put up a "Talk Amongst Youse Selves" post. We'll handle the rest.

Will the setting be Lake Whattayouanasshole?

ndspinelli said...

This will kill the human EBL, absolutely kill her.

Chip S. said...

I don't think Zombie EBL is gonna like it any better.

Watch yer face, Troop!

Anonymous said...

Seriously Trooper?! Amazing, can't wait, wow!

And congratulations!

Titus said...

I had garlic tonight.

You know what that means.

Major garlic farts and a huge spray, not loaf is headed down the pike.

I so wish you were all here to smell.

tits.

blake said...

Right.

And after listening to Troop's NPR show, you can check me out in Playgirl. I've got a spread called "Jack Elam...Lives?"

Darcy said...

Well, I've had some wine, but I think TY's pulling our legs. Or some of our legs. Or maybe I'm being literal and everyone else is running with the joke.

Wine. =)

But if true, woohoo!

I saw on FB the store post about them screwing with your timeslot. Hope all is well.

Speaking of a glass of wind, Ira Glass once dated Lynda Barry, who explored the writing style she called "autobiofictionalography", which we now realize was pioneered by Barack Obama.

I believe there's no truth to the rumors that Ira wrote an unpublished memoir of his time with Lynda called Scared Gay.

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

The best revenge is living well. I think you will rock at this.

TTBurnett said...

Darcy, We wouldn't have known if you hadn't told us. As for me, I'll let you know when I DON'T have a glass of wine in my hand.

A glass of woodwind, grande non piccolo

From what I'm reading, it sounds like they're switching it to an afternoon slot. If so, I'm not liking the change. It sounds like the show is being pigeon-holed for women watching afternoon TV, when the clientèle shown so far has been mostly working women.

Right.
