Have a Happy!

Submitted by Dennis Jon Bailey on Wed, 11/24/2010 - 11:38am
The night before Thanksgiving is the second biggest bar night of the year. It’s also the biggest pizza delivery night of the year. It’s all gearing up for the big get together tomorrow with friends and family.
 
I’d like to take a moment and give thanks to you for listening to and being a part of the WIKY Morning Show. We work hard at bringing you an easy to listen to and fun morning show every day of the year. Thanks so much for allowing us into your h

No Sleep Allowed on Black Friday

We researched a number of national chains with local stores that will be having special hours both Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday (or as some merchants call it, Green Friday).
 
Here are some –
 
Kohls – They're opening at 3 am this year.

This morning on the WIKY Morning Show, we chatted about an item we found online on kids’ haircuts. Specifically, haircuts we as parents should all avoid -

E-book Me

One of the hottest gift items for grown-ups again this Christmas will be an e-reader. If you’re not familiar with these devices, it’s basically an electronic book. You can download complete books from a variety of sources including the library. There are thousands of titles for free and thousands of others for pocket change. It sounds like a great idea and I might even use one if it were a gift. But, I’m just an old book kind of guy and not sure I could get used to reading on one of these contraptions. I like the feel o

Thanksgiving Myths

Submitted by Dennis Jon Bailey on Mon, 11/15/2010 - 10:22am

This morning we found ourselves scratching our heads over the fact that Thanksgiving is just over a week away.  Not sure how that happened, considering we just put away our flip-flops, but there it is.

Here are a few Thanksgiving food myths that we discussed this morning on WIKY -

Bowling at Work

Submitted by Dennis Jon Bailey on Fri, 11/12/2010 - 12:35pm

Plenty of contestants on the WIKY Morning Show's Culture Quiz mention that they're bowling when we ask them on the phone what they're doing.  This has led to a number of questions from confused, and some downright angry listeners, about how it is that so many people are getting through from this mysterious bowling alley.

One Last Word on Veteran's Day

Submitted by Dennis Jon Bailey on Thu, 11/11/2010 - 11:36am

Thanks again to all the veterans who came to the LST 325 this morning for our sixth annual breakfast.  Looks like it was a record crowd; maybe twice the crowd we had last year.  Of course, the weather helped a lot.  A big thanks to Browning Funeral Home for underwriting the event as they have the last three years.  And again, thanks to the LST 325 volunteers who make it all happen.

This is making the rounds on Facebook today and I think it says it all -

Saluting Vets with Food

Submitted by Dennis Jon Bailey on Wed, 11/10/2010 - 10:56am

It seems to have become a tradition - feeding veterans on Veterans Day.  Plenty of restaurants do it, Golden Corral and Applebees are a couple that come to mind, and the WIKY Morning Show, too, with our Sixth Annual Vets Breakfast aboard the LST 325. 

When we decided we wanted to do something special for Tri-state vets six years ago, the LST hadn't been docked in Evansville for that long and we weren't sure if they wanted to do anything like a free breakfast.  They didn't hesitate to agree and it's been going on every year since.
