GIANT SQUID ATTACKS GULF COAST!

I don't know why this is just becoming public now, when the event occurred July 30. Perhaps a government cover-up? Even Roger Garrett, our insipid reporter and News Director has neglected to investigate. But now the Morning Show Blog blows the lid off it.
US government scientists caught the first giant squid ever recorded in the US Gulf of Mexico during a research trip.
The whopper was caught in a net by researchers from the US Minerals Management Service (MMS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) who were looking at prey available for sperm whales in the area.
Measuring almost 20 feet long and weighing more than 100 pounds, the squid was caught in more than 1500 feet of water in a special trawl net pulled by the NOAA vessel Gordon Gunter. The giant squid is at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History for further study. At least the first of the giant squids. I think it will be the beginning of a wave of oversize cephalopods that will invade our coast and crush our boats in their slimy tentacles. Eventually adapting to operate on land where they will overrun our cities and enslave our human population. It's just a hunch.

Big Roger and Roy "Thank You"s go out to the Kurten Community. We were out to visit during the annual Fall Festival at the Kurten Komplex Multi-use Pavilion and Sports Arena - aka "Kurten Community Center" - on Highway 21 (well just off 21, now) last weekend.
We are always treated great and offered exceptional hospitality whenever we go to Kurten. Plus, we get to visit some longtime listeners and RnR fans, new and old. My grandson RG3 successfully defended his title as "The Only Kid I Know Of That Can Nap In A Bouncy House Even While Other Kids Are Jumping". Unfortunately, no trophy or ribbon was awarded. I saw some of the home-made recipes and baked goods for sale in the Country Store Area and was intrigued by "Monkey Bread" or "Monkey Paw Bread" or something similar. Is one of the ingredients really monkey? If so, where do they get 'em? Can you buy 'em at the store? If they are locally produced, it seems like you wouldn't be able to make more than one or two a year. Another story for Roger to look into?

We learned today that Country Sweetheart Miranda Lambert carries a knife on stage with her. It's not a stalker problem, or a security concern. It's beach balls. 'Ran says that when she was out with Kenny Chesney on tour, she got smacked full in the face with one of them giant balloons the audience tosses around. She was right in the middle of "Gunpowder and Lead" and was miffed- to say the least. She took that big ole ball and deflated it under her heel. Since then she keeps a knife on the drum riser during all live appearances. I'd say even if you're not tossing a beach ball, I wouldn't try to rush a stage she's on. Think of what may have happened to Kanye if it was Miranda instead of Taylor at the VMA's.

ANOTHER PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE
"Save the boob" is the tag line on one irreverent video in a campaign for breast cancer awareness that's drawing fans and complaints. Designers of the public service announcements are trying to grab the attention younger women, and encourage them to do breast self-exams. A spokeswoman for Rethink Breast Cancer tells ABC News. "We're creating a bold way of communicating the message". But one viewer called the ads offensive. They "look like a Victoria's Secret ad".
