The dancing WRRV elves

I usually despise email forwards. Especially ones with blatant (Office Max) commercial purposes (Go to Office Max!). But how can I resist posting the WRRV staff as disco dancing elves? I can't... Besides, you know you're going to make one yourself and send it to everyone you know (and then go shopping at Office Max).

WRRV Beard Growing Competition - Week 2

So, this is the end of Week 2 in the WRRV Beard Growing Competiton and things are getting, ahem, hairy. Remember, this a contest to see who lasts longest without shaving, not who can grow the longest beard.

From left to right: Shmonty, Simon, Boris and Jeremiah from our promotions department.

The Miracle Grow that Shmonty has been using as aftershave seems to finally be working.

Just for the record, here's the photo from week 1:

And the photo from the start of the contest:

The WRRV Show Us Your Cans Food Drive

Thanks again to everyone who came out and donated to the Food Bank of the Hudson Valley! Here's the video we made. It's a take-off of the Sarah Palin video (below). Oh yeah, and that's Simon getting his a** kicked by the WRRV Turkey in the background. The WRRV Turkey was played by roadcrew member, Jill. She has lots of aggression issues.

Do you use a mousepad?

We mentioned on the air that we received a promotional mousepad at WRRV this week. Who still uses a mousepad? I really thought they stopped making those years ago... about the same time "disk drives" disappeared. Well, apparently a few people here at WRRV still use a mousepad. It's probably just out of habit, and I'm pretty sure that they could actually live without using one.

Do you still rock the mousepad? Comment below...

Divorce Calculator

We talked about this on the air today. There's a website that claims to know your chance of getting a divorce just by asking a handful of questions. According to the site, I'm doomed:
I would assume that just going to a website and taking a test to see if you're going to get divorced is a pretty good sign that your marriage isn't all that stable to begin with.

What the hell happened to the Music All Morning page?

I've always hated blogs. Anyone with half a brain can set up a blog and start babbling about anything... from what they're eating for breakfast to the contents of their desk drawer. It's boring. No one cares! Why does everyone think that they're such a big deal? Hell, even Al Roker has a freakin' blog! What the hell is AL ROKER writing about? "This morning I laughed at another one of Matt Lauer's lame jokes... hey, is that a cheesecake?" Guess what... NO ONE CARES!

Why can't someone intelligent write one of these blogs? Someone who has their finger on the pulse of what interests me? A blog with less photos of fat ugly celebrities and more videos of Japanese people eating marshmallows off of strings. A blog that's written in the voice of a Hudson Valley Radio Legend! And that's when it hit me... My intern could do it!

So welcome to BlogOfBoris.

The old Music All Morning website was a pain in the a** to update. Reformatting tables, inserting links and using insane html codes has prohibited me from being able to make musicallmorning.com as great of a website as I think it should be. And, most importantly, there was no room on the page for you to comment on things. Look, I get to say what I think all morning, now it's your turn to let me know what you're thinking about! (and that makes even less work for me, too - hell, I may even steal some of your ideas and pawn them off as my own on the air). Plus, now I can embed videos and use larger scale photos so you don't have to spend your morning closing all of those windows that have popped up on your desktop before your boss walks in on you and wonders why you're staring at a photo of some lady holding an obese cat instead of doing your work.

I hope you enjoy BlogOfBoris. If you have any suggestions, drop a comment on the bottom of this post. Smell ya later.
