Escape Pod Dreams - 2
Created | Updated Dec 23, 2003

If I didn't know you, would you dream about someone like me?
Here at Irritating Public Radio, we are approaching our annual Charity Demolition Derby and Petting Abbattoir with anticipation. We make the kids happy, we don't pay a penny (and it's tax deductible). With the aid of our new intern work/study aides, we are also making a contribution to the local club scene by working them so long that they are too tired to rave.
Having just barely survived the Spill season, which threatened linens, keyboards, and parquet flooring alike, the Fall season is upon us and our lawyers are contemplating throwing themselves down before us in order to limit liability or increase fees, we're not sure which, but the janitors are thoroughly vexed and requesting more hazard cones in a more pleasing array of colours and shapes... They resent the fact that the usual cone strongly resembles and suggests a dunce cap. When we quite pleasantly suggest that that is a reflection on those who need them, not those who use them, we find ourselves quite suddenly faced with a shop foreman, querulously demanding to know just 'exactly what did you mean by that?' At which point we politely insult ourselves by saying, 'Ahh... sorry, trying a new cold medication. Must be messing with my mind', and gently but swiftly remove ourself from the immediate vicinity, which brings us to this week's group of programmes.
