The time has finally arrived where Jeff, Bill, Tiny and myself get to go and invade a home of a needy family this Holiday season and bring Christmas to them! The past few weeks we have been asking you to submit letters and submissions for needy families who might not have a Christmas this year. It was so hard for our judges to chose one family, but we have and today is the day!
a HUGE Thank-you to Costco of Lantana and Royal Palm for letting us raid their stores and load up our carts with massive amounts of gifts for our family and also to Ace of Boynton Beach for giving this family a 8 foot Christmas tree with a stand and all the decorations to adorn this tree! They also shopped and bought presents as well! Feeding South Florida has also stepped up and is stocking the shelves with oddles and oodles of food and filling the fridge up! This would not have happened without the help of these great people and we cannot thank them enough.
We will be announcing our winner and playing back their reaction on Monday morning at 7:05am on South Florida Country, 107.9 WIRK. If you can't be near a radio but you are near a computer with internet, you can listen live at www.wirk.com (yes yes, the website you are on right now, lol.) We cannot tell you who the family is yet because the family who is getting the magical gift does not know yet it is them! Hence the 'Invasion' tee-hee.
We will also have video of our shopping and video of the family coming home to see that their house was invaded with Christmas! We can't wait to see this unfold. There are so many needy families out there and we wish we could have helped every single family in need.
Thank-you for being a strong Friend of the Show (FOS) and have a safe and fun weekend.
Cheers,
Sandra

How Smart is your Right Foot?
A mindless & humbling exercise for you!
Try this. It is absolutely true. I guess there are some things that the brain cannot handle.
HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT?
Try this, it takes 2 seconds. It is from an orthopedic surgeon............ This will confuse your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't. It is pre-programmed in your brain!
1. While sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction.
I told you so! And there's nothing you can do about it! Feel free to share.............

Weird Craigslist Postings
Craigslist is a free Internet classified posting site that still reminds me of Internet websites when it was brand new. Oh boy, I remember when the Internet was new...sigh.
Craigslist has also gained a famed reputation for hosting some of the most bizarre postings and requests known throughout the massive thing we like to call...the INTERNET. Dare I say, trumping even eBay on weirdness for postings? Dare I say....Dare I say.
Take a look at some of the great 'weirdness' that was found on Craigslist postings. Are they true? Who knows, but the POSTINGS are real.
BIZARRE CRAIGSLIST POSTINGS
I want some orange juice
"I'll give you $2 + cost if you'll deliver me some orange juice with receipt. I'm too lazy to get it myself. I live right by University Drive in Elon. Thank you."
Woman to sit in my bath tub full of noodles, wearing a bathing suit
"I will pay you $1 to sit in my bathtub full of noodles while you wear a one piece bathing suit. I will not be home, nor will anyone else while you do this. I will leave the key for you, and you will sit at your leisure. DO NOT bring any sauce. I will season the pasta after I return home prior to dinner."
I have a huge bathroom
"I am a female in my mid 60's and I am looking for a room mate. Times are tight and I need some extra money. I am willing to rent out my bathroom in my 1 bedroom east village home. My bathroom is large. You can easily put a twin air mattress in there. I only ask that when I need to use the bathroom, you or your air mattress are not in it. I do ask that when you are in the apartment, you confine yourself to the bathroom. I do not feel comfortable with a stranger walking around my living room. This might change as I get to know you better."
Pope hats
"Because of this terrible economy, I'm having to shut down my business. I have OVER 1300 Pope hats (replicas) that I REALLY need to get rid of. The pope hats came from China and are a little too small for most adult heads and are also irritating to the skin, so you would need to have long hair or wear a smaller hat underneath (just like the REAL POPE). Dogs do not like to wear these pope hats, but maybe a large cat or maybe a nice dog would wear one."
Need someone to hide Easter eggs in my apartment when I'm not home
"I need someone to hide Easter eggs in my apt when i am not there ! They are small and filled with candy! I would like to find them myself on Sunday! I am willing to pay! Serious inquiries only!"
Free couch, if you can bend time and/or space
"I have a free couch for anyone who can get it back out of my room. It's a comfy couch, cool stripe velvet in great shape, impossibly uncomfortable sleeper, but otherwise easily worth $50-75 bucks in Craigslist land. So why am I listing in for free? Because I am pretty sure it is physically impossible to remove this thing from my second story bedroom down the narrow hallway, down the narrower staircase and out the front door of my little Victorian duplex."
I took your purse and felt a connection
"Tuesday night around 11:30. On 53rd btw 1st and 2nd. You came out of the subway and I followed you. You looked over your shoulder, saw me and started walking faster. I ran up, grabbed your arm, took your purse and ran away. I've done many a snatch-and-grab but no one has ever stuck in my mind like you. There was a quick moment when our eyes met that I felt something strong. I think you felt it too. If I wasn't so shy (or so committing a crime) I would have asked your name. I, of course, later got your name from your drivers license. So Jennifer if you'd like to get together for a drink sometime get back to me."
Looking for bridesmaids
"So, my fiancee and I are getting married in June. He has 8 groomsmen lined up and I only have one bridesmaid. So, I need some girls who are attractive and around my age to stand up in my wedding. You can be single or taken. It doesn't matter....you just have to be hot. But, not hotter then me. Email me for more information. The wedding will be in Madison and you won't have to pay for a thing."
Ferocious attack kitten
"This destructive kitty has been trained as a proud warrior and will fiercely defend your house, even against you. Has a very soft and furry belly, like a teddy bear - however he will bite your face if you try to touch it. For the love of God, someone please take this thing out of my house."
Personal texting assistant
"I get 40 - 50 texts an hour, I cant handle my workload plus texting responsibilities. My phone gets too full and needs deleted every couple hours. This is a full time position and you must be where ever I am at, because my phone is always with me. Serious inquiries only."
WOW! Have you ever come across any weird postings? Remember that sharing is caring and if you ever find anything that made you go "Whhhhaaa.t.?" Please email them to: sandra@wirk.com
Cheers!

All Things Redneck
You can never get enough of redneck humor, right? O.K. maybe sometimes too much is too much but we love Larry the Cable Guy, Bill Engval and Jeff Foxworthy! Here is a joke I got today from one of the strong FOS (Friend of the Show) today.
Redneck Joke:
Three Rednecks were working up on a cell phone tower: Cooter, Ronnie and Donnie.
As they start their descent, Cooter slips, falls off the tower and is DRT (Dead Right There).
As the ambulance takes the body away, Ronnie says, 'Well, someone should go and tell his wife.'
Donnie says, 'OK, I'm pretty good at that sensitive stuff, I'll do it.'
Two hours later, he comes back carrying a case of Budweiser.
Ronnie says, 'Where did you get that beer, Donnie?'
'Cooter's wife gave it to me,' Ronnie replies.
'That's unbelievable, you told the lady her husband was dead and she gave you beer?'
'Well, not exactly', Donnie says, 'When she answered the door, I said to her, "You must be Cooter's widow".'
She said, 'You must be mistaken, I'm not a widow.'
Then I said, 'I'll bet you a case of Budweiser you are.'

Zhu Zhu Pets Are OK!
Zhu Zhu Pets Are OK: Here's How to Find Out if Other Toys Are Safe!!!
Courtesy of US News CLICK HERE FOR FULL ARTICLE
Parents around the nation breathed a sigh of relief with the news that Zhu Zhu Pets, those adorable robot hamsters, are not contaminated with antimony, a metallic element that can cause heart and lung problems. Zhu Zhu Pets are the "it" toy of the 2009 holiday season; more than 6 million of the fuzzy cuties have been sold so far, meaning that there would have been a lot of very disappointed kids on Christmas morning if the toys had indeed been tainted
-- Check the list of CPSC toy recalls for any toys you're considering. The site includes photos, which helps sort out which toy is which.
-- Buy from big retailers, which do their own safety testing of toys and closely monitor recalls. Be extra cautious when buying from thrift shops and small retailers, which don't always have the staff to keep up on safety recalls.
-- When seeking general consumer advice on toys, go with big-name consumer sites like Consumer Reports, U.S. PIRG, and Safe Kids USA, rather than smaller efforts like GoodGuide. ''While we accurately reported the chemical levels in the toys that we measured using our testing method, we should not have compared our results to federal standards,'' GoodGuide said in a written release on the Zhu Zhu Pets flap. ''We regret this error.''
Thank goodness, right? No need to return those toys! If you are not sure WHAT the Zhu Zhu Pets ARE...watch this video!!
Now, when I WAS A KID...THIS is what I found cool cool cool cool and I FREAKED out when my dad bought it for me. I was so excited and loved this doll!
Cheers and happy holiday shopping!! :-)

Play him off, Keyboard Cat! (The Story)
Every morning as The Jeff Elliott in the Morning Show prepares to end the show, Keyboard Cat (named FATSO by the owner) plays us off. This is seriously a youtube phenomenon.
In case you haven’t yet seen them, Keyboard Cat videos all follow the same formula:
They all have the name “Play Him/Her Out, Keyboard Cat”
They begin with a segment in which someone humiliates or hurts himself or herself
They cut to a strange video featuring a cat playing a tune on a cheesy home keyboard
The Wikepedia Definition!
Keyboard Cat is an Internet meme. It consists of footage from 1984 of "Fatso", a cat (now deceased) owned by Charlie Schmidt of Spokane, Washington, wearing a blue shirt and "playing" an upbeat rhythm on an electronic keyboard. In reality, Fatso was manipulated by Schmidt. (tee-hee, really? lol)
The clip, originally posted to YouTube as "Charlie Schmidt's 'cool cat'", has gained popularity by being appended to blooper and other viral videos as if to "play" that person offstage after the mistake or gaffe in a similar manner as getting the hook in the days of vaudeville, usually accompanied with the title Play Him Off, Keyboard Cat or a variant.
Here is the ORIGINAL FIRST VIDEO by Charlie Schmidt where he calls Fatso, the Keyboard Cat "Cool Cat" as the original title to the video.
NOW...here is a funny video...Keyboard Cat playing off...ANOTHER KEYBOARD CAT!!!!
There is an official 'Play him off Keyboard, Cat' blog website! Click HERE to view!
Well, it is certainly a phenomenon and RIP Fatso. CNN covered the story, as well as the Colbert Report and I am certain, countless others. So, if you are ever bored...just search youtube for "play him off, Keyboard Cat" and you will have hours of entertainment, and if you HAVE a funny blooper, MAKE YOUR OWN! :-)
Cheers and have a great weekend!

DARE I SAY...'Cutest Kitty Video EVER?'
It would be very easy to talk about Tiger this morning or other ramblings throughout the media circuit, but this morning, I thought we would keep things light and fluffy! We started our day out with a giggle as we found a new song called 'I Pray for You' from Jaron Lowenstein. I thought we should continue the levity with a funny cute kitty video. YES, I am a kitty kat person and I do also love dogs, so I need to start adding doggie videos too, but THIS video is only 17 seconds long and will make you giggle for hours. Dare I say...the "Cutest Kitty Video...EVER?"
If you are a new Jaron fan (I Pray For You) please listen to his song on our website and you can also download the song on iTunes. Yay!
I hope you had a nice giggle...
Cheers,
Sandra

Sandra Says...Party Crashers
If you somehow missed all the hoop-lah about the State's Dinner Party Crashers, you may want to click HERE and get caught up. It is AMAZING how far people will go now for their fifteen minutes of fame. Its absolutely nauseating.
See video footage of their repulsive interview on the TODAY SHOW (from today, 12-1)
Here is the 'Breaking Story' as it was found out....can someone tell me WHY they are not in JAIL????
A couple decides to crash the first State's Dinner at the WHITE HOUSE and get past the secret service! I know there will be flaws in every system, but come on! How embarrassing and what does that say for the safety of our commander in chief? For all those in the White House? I know the party crashers are saying that "there is more to this story, and the truth will come out." If that is the case, then why the secrecy and delay?? Just spit the story out then and then we are done with you. It is for more TV coverage and blogging (which I am doing myself). What I want to know is why they are not sitting in a jail cell right now. The story and coverage should be "Party Crashers at White House State's Dinner Apprehended by Authorities and await Punishment." Seriously! If you can get a legitimate ticket for JAY WALKING then why is it these two knuckleheads aren't in jail instead of on the TODAY SHOW acting all superior and innocent? Grrrr. I must stop before my fingers fall off in frustration at the lunacy of it all.
Well, CHEERS, lol....see you tomorrow!!
