February 6th
Hey everyone. Erica here again to keep you posted on the happenings of the Gray Area.
7pm: Chris is out again tonight. The reason is because his dog is very sick. This leads us to a discussion of pets. Brad wonders, can a pet become a family member? There are pets that you like, pets that are beloved, and then pets that are family members.
I tell the very sad story of my first dog. We had him for most of my childhood and on my tenth birthday he collapsed in the middle of the party. I remember sitting at the table, and seeing my older brother carrying the dog out to the car. This of course, ruined my birthday completely. Later that day, we found out the dog had cancer. That was the worst birthday ever.
Fred in Hayward loves dogs and understands loving pets, but hates when people let their dogs lick their mouth. Dogs do some pretty disgusting things with their mouth. No matter how much I love my pet, I'm not going to make out with it.
Dan was watching a neighbor's bobcat cat a few years ago. When he got to the house, and opened the door, the cat bolted right past him. He tried to find the cat, but there was no chance of that happened. Of course, then he had to tell the neighbors what had happened. What an incredibly awful conversation.
Mike in San Jose wonders if dogs have any sort of sense of time. My dog would come outside everyday when I was getting home from school. My parents told me that he would get very upset if I did not come home on time.
Brad goes over a list of pets that could never be members of the family:
- Lizards
- Ant Farms
- Guinea Pigs (leading me to demonstrate the noise they make)
- Mice or Rats
- Birds
- Turtles
Lee in Petaluma used to raise black widow spiders. He had up to 15 or 20 at a time. Eww. That is so scary and gross. He would keep it in his bedroom. How can you sleep with poisonous spiders in your room?
Brad starts talking about how sad it is when a pet is all someone has. What happens to those people when their pets die?
Jamal in San Jose was at a movie theater when he saw a man with a baby carriage. During the movie, he saw a flashlight go on so the man could feed, what he thought was his baby. It turned out, that it was a dog, that he had taken in with him. That's a little weird.
Dan in Burlingame claims that ferrets are the best pets. Of course they are illegal in California, but a lot of people have them. I had a roommate who had one, and they smelled really bad. They are cute, but dogs and cats are way better.
8pm: Elliott calls in to tell about his friend's dog. She had a dog that she loved a lot. When it died, she had it skinned and put across her couch. Brad then tells us that he had to do taxidermy for his biology class in high school. They made him go out and kill a crow and stuff it. What the hell kind of high school is that?
We were talking about wolf hybrids earlier. Ron in Berkeley has a family member who has a wolf hybrid and a coyote hybrid. Because of this, they are a slew of rules when you come to their house. You have to wait to get out the car until the dog walks away. When it comes back, you have to stand still until it checks you out. Also, you cannot bring food or pets to the house.
We were talking about having a pet monkey. I have been trying to convince Cory to get a helper monkey for the office, but he always says no. What a stick in the mud. Donna in Fremont tells us that she had monkeys as a child. Her Dad got them for the family and they stayed in the study in a tree. She says everything was completely fine, although they were very small. The bad thing, is that they got them illegally because they were too young, and they died after a few months. That's terrible.
We keep talking about pigs being bad pets because they eat people. If you have ever seen "Snatch" you know the damage that pigs can cause. One caller defends pigs as pets, but I will pass. They are supposed to be really smart, but a little too filthy for me.
Other bad pets mentioned:
- Chinchillas
- Parrots
- Ferrets
I really hate birds, they are the loudest, most obnoxious creatures in the world. Audrey calls in and tells us her neighbor had five squawking parrots. I would go insane if that was in my neighborhood. Stupid birds.
9pm: Brad is wearing his very beat-up Ghostrider shirt. The movie is coming out with Nicolas Cage, who we all hate. But, the question is, what comic books do you think should or should not be made into movies?
Comic Movies That Were Bad:
- The Hulk
- Swamp Thing
- Dick Tracy
- Fantastic Four
- Richie Rich
- Dare Devil and Elektra
- The Punisher
- Superman
- Super Girl
Comics That Would be Cool As Movies:
- Wonder Woman
- She-Hulk
- Thor
- Roachville
- Aqua Man
- Justice League
- Flash
Good Comic Movies:
- X-Men
- Spiderman
- Sin City
- The Crow
- Batman Begins
10pm: We continue this hour with the comic book movies. Calls are just bangin on this. I had no idea there were this many comic fans in our audience. All of this is so over my head, but Brad is all about it.
Other Comics Discussed This Hour:
- Mystery Men
- The Avengers
- Captain America
- The Blade Trinity
- Captain Marvel
- Iron Man
- Plastic Man
- Barbed Wire
We talk about the Howard the Duck movie. I saw part of that, and it was just awful. Maybe one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The character was so bizarre and hokey.
I am so lost during this discussion. I don't know the difference between Flash and Flash Gordon or the Justice League and Super Friends.
Apparently, Ryan Reynolds and Keanu Reeves are both in the Flash movie. I like Ryan Reynolds, but Keanu just sucks all the good out of any movie.
In something I can understand, Mike in Oakland brings up the Transformers. I'm excited about that movie, because I loved that cartoon. I had no idea it was a comic.
Ok, well hopefully Chris will be back tomorrow night. Have a good night and I apologize to my mother.
