Please send Jen a message of support

As you know; my very dear friend and former co-host, Jen, has been fighting cancer for a long time. Recently, the fight has gotten even tougher. Many of you continue to ask about Jen at station events, and she is always thrilled to hear that the WRRV listeners still remember her and wish her well. Right now, Jen and her family could really use some words of encouragement.

Please visit this website and leave a message of support. Sharing a memory about something you remember Jen doing on the air, or meeting her at a station event would do a lot to brighten her day. And, if it's possible, please also consider making a donation to help with the outrageous medical bills that have been piling up ever since Jen left the airwaves.

Thanks.

They're making a movie about Winnebago Man!

If you remember a few years ago, I was completely obsessed with Winnebago Man. He's the completely miserable guy who filmed an infomercial about campers. During the filming, this guy became more and more irritated. His anger was way over the top in relation to the task at hand. He even started yelling at the flies for getting in his face during filming. What makes this dude's rage even more insane was the fact that he's making this cheezy commercial about campers. The outtakes were later compiled and posted online. Even if you've never seen the video, you've most certainly heard some of the clips played during Music All Morning over the years.

If you want to know what really makes me laugh, this clip is it. I laughed so hard at this clip for months that I had to stop watching it during the show because it became horribly distracting. The problem is, the more you watch it the funnier and funnier it gets.

Well, it looks like someone has now made a documentary film about Winnebago Man. I guess I'm gonna have to keep my subscription to the Sundance Channel in hopes of catching it someday!

For those of you who've never seen the video here it is... (NSFW - lots of F-Bombs, the word "Acoutrama", fly violence and yelling at Tony)

Lost: Thanks, Mom!

So Faraday is the son of Eloise Hawking and Charles Widmore (I called that in February). That means that he and Penny are at least half siblings. Remember, Ben banished Charles from the island because he was carrying on a relationship off of the island.

What a sad story for Faraday. He is raised by his mother to be a brilliant scientist because she knows that he must go to the island... so she can kill him! Eloise knows Faraday's destiny. She remembers being on the island in the 70's and shooting him. After Faraday dies, the events that follow must be so important that she spends the rest of her life making sure that Faraday goes to the island to die. This is the "sacrifice" she talks about after slapping daddy Widmore. It also explains why she is so cold to him and why she discourages him from playing the piano... she doesn't want to get attached to Faraday because it is too painful for her.

The @#$% is going down at camp Dharma. Everything is getting unraveled and the only way to get out of this mess is for everyone to return to their proper time. I believe that Jack and Kate will take Faraday's book of instructions and, possibly with Ellie's help, straighten out time (using the hydrogen bomb!). After the gang zaps back in time, the Others will probably step up their plans for "The Purge".

From all of the chatter this week, I was expecting that some huge things were going to be revealed in this week's episode. I wasn't blown away... but I suspect lots of what happened last night is laying the groundwork for the end of the season and what will ultimately be the direction of the end of the series.

Favorite moments from last night: Faraday outing Miles as Chang's son. Sawyer calling Faraday "twitchy".

As always... let's continue the conversation in the comments section below...
