I’m
a big Monkees fan from South Perth, Australia. Found out about the
podcast from FB. Loved it. You guys know your shite! Your podcast was better
than any VH1 Behind the Music. Plus I like the flow and people seem very
pleasant. Keep up the good work. -Thorpe

NOTE: Thanks Mate!!! I would like to visit the Land Down Under one day... That
is once the big dingo / baby controversy is finally resolved.
What gives with the economy? Is my McCarty Metro 401(k) safely invested? I shudder to think that I and the other Metro reporters might one
day retire and open our nest egg to find ... we were working for nothing! Should we be in gold?
-Concerned Metro staffer in GR
ED NOTE: Dear Staff
Infection, I understand your concern. However, there is nothing to worry
about. I invested all of our money in the market. I bought some Lucky
Charms, some nice fruit, lots of band aids, eggs, bacon, bread, and some
ammonia for disinfecting the bathroom each time I hurl over the thought
of how long I have to run this rag before I can actually retire, unlike
my big brother Mike.
Drat,
I missed the chat room, again! - Mike
ED
NOTE: Egad Mike !?! Try to remember next time.
I will be out of the
office on August 19th. -Brad McCarty
ED NOTE: That's
interesting... This is a automated reply that I got from an email that I actually sent
to Burger King. WHAT'S GOING ON HERE???
Is it Ghadafi, Khadafi, or Gadhafi? -Curious Speller
ED NOTE: Gosh.... 3 in a row. I just call it a sneeze. Cover your blow hole next time.

OK
East Coasters, Now you have Snow and Earthquakes.What have you got to complain about California now? -Happy in LA

NOTE: Oh... I don't know.... Maybe a little thing called CARMAGEDDON!!!
Is
it true that Brad Savage and the Cockroaches were called “Tilch”?Where there any other names considered? -Cockroach Fan in NYC
ED NOTE:
Yes. The original band carried the name "TILCH" after a street in the
neighborhood. It was a bit more metal that what eventually became the
Cockroaches. And, sure, while trying to get the new band formed, we experimented
with styles and names. We tried an all saxophone band with the name SAX MANIACS.
Lake, our Drummer, wanted to name the band STYROFOAM. (He said you can get it
down the street in a big truck). Jerry wanted it DOUBLE PROMOTED (let it go
already). Needless to say, the Cockroaches came about when Eric and myself
decided to open up a dictionary, blindly turn to a page and plop our finger down
on a random word and that would be the name. Well, I opened the book, turned the
page, Eric plopped the finger, and we didn't want to be called Brad Savage and
the Cocks, so we moved down the page a bit.
