Arcadia KRVN Spring Break
Posted by Adam on May 11 at 07:49 AM
We delivered Skeeter Barnes brisket at a few sponsor prizes to Conn Pierson at Arcadia.  Boni Waddle & Terry Fales joined me on the trip.  We enjoyed visiting with Conn and his neighbors, and viewing picturesque setting along the Middle Loup River.  Conn & his wife Donna even took the KRVN Spring Break crew out on his air boat.  It was a new experience for me.  We saw geese, a heron, & a variety of wildlife.  It's definitely something I want to do a gain.  Can Conn win again next time?

Some of the Worst Uses of the English Language
Posted by on Apr 22 at 03:12 PM

Sure, I know, I butcher the English language every afternoon on KRVN.  However, here are some things I'm going to like, go try and not do anymore.  ooops.

 -Adam 


The editors of the Webster's New World College Dictionary say the two ugliest words in the English language are: "like" and "go." As in: "And I go, 'I can't believe it!' and she's like, 'You didn't know?'" Once a year, the dictionary editors compile the worst of the English language. Here is the best of what they consider to be the worst:

    * Most irksome euphemism: Issues. We used to have problems. Now we have issues.
    * Worst replacement for good old "yes" or "I agree": Absolutely. The close runner-up is "definitely."
    * Most cheapened cherished word: Awesome. A C+ on an algebra test is mediocre, not awesome. Dude.
    * Worst unnecessary lead-in: I mean. I mean, if you didn't mean it, you wouldn't be saying it!
    * Most infuriating idiocy in news headlines: Neck in neck. And it's used everywhere, including several mjor newspapers and news services.
    * Worst orthographic innovation: Stunt spelling. This is a cutesy-poo, middle school infatuation that began as early as Mötley Crüe, progressed to phat and continues downward with boyz.
    * Worst grammatical abuse: The present progressive. "i'm lovin' it" without a capital "I" and without a period is the idiocy reduced to its essentials. Well, McDonald's thought it so fine that they took out a trademark on it.

Natural Escapes River Broadcast
Posted by Adam on Apr 21 at 09:50 AM

I had a great time broadcasting from Natural Escapes in Cozad on Saturday. What beautiful day it was! Jeremy & Bailey Koch did a terrific job remodeling their business. There are so many things to choose from in the store, on display outside, and in the greenhouses. Please, stop by and see for yourself.


Also, thank you to KRVN's Kathy Armagost for taking these pictures. I know it looks like she doen't know what zoom function is, but I think she was trying to include the beautiful landscaping work in the photos.
