Power 106, Pirate Radio, KROQ, KDAY, KIIS -- so many fun and fond memories of cruising along to a soundtrack of favorite songs. Totally not mash. <br />
<br />
But... Listening to boring AM talk radio in your Republican dad's car on the way to school in the morning? Super, duper mash. A <a href="http://nanooksvinyl.blogspot.com/">friend</a> recently reminded me of the AM radio jingles of my childhood and I can still hear them now.<br />
<br />
Some classics:<br />
<br />
<b>"All you need to know... KNX 1070 News Radio"</b><br />
<a href="http://donswaim.com/knxnewspackage.mp3">Listen: KNX Mash Medley</a><br />
<br />
<b>"KFWB News 98. You give us 22 minutes, we'll give you the world."</b><br />
<a href="http://www.pams.com/cuts-18.html">Listen: KFWB jingles from the '50s</a><br />
<br />
<b>"KFI in the Sky"</b><br />
<a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xcjlyp_kfi-640-news-jingle_music">Listen: KFI shudders</a><br />
<br />
And lastly, someone has taken the important step of creating a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dYwfeLaF20">medley of SoCal radio jingles on YouTube</a>.<br />

This is especially fitting after being forcefully thrust into holiday mode by my employer yesterday.<br /><br />So, you know what's mash (besides Thanksgiving as a whole)? When, on November 14, every inch of public office space is saturated with lights, wreaths, mini trees, ornaments, tinsel, and candy canes. <i>This</i> is suppose to boost morale?!?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.matthall.net/images/diary/plus2003/vendor2.gif"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://www.matthall.net/images/diary/plus2003/vendor2.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Does this count as workplace violence?teena turnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17668646141601955972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29315735.post-1163609198928686552006-11-15T08:46:00.000-08:002006-11-15T09:18:41.773-08:00All Wars Are Not Created EqualSo, I've been TA'ing a class all about American war and memory. In reading about wars like WWI ("The Great War") and WWII ("The Good War") and Vietnam ('Nam) and the Civil War ("War of Brothers"), I've overwhelmingly decided that the Civil War is the most MASH of all.<br /><br />The Civil War earns this distinction for several reasons, two of which include it's overwhelming old timey-ness and, you know, that whole slavery thing. But it starts to get <i>very</i> weird and journey into new levels of MASH in its aftermath almost 150 years later (yes, we were fighting to keep slaves just 150 years ago).<br /><br />I'm talking about the world of contemporary <b>Civil War reenactors</b>.<br /><br />These are die-hard Civil War buffs who spend all of their time, money, and energy recreating the CW battles on the original battlegrounds wearing original soldier garb with original gunpowder rifles and cannons... every weekend. Oh, and the Rebels of today are still fighting to keep the Confederate flag waving on government buildings. (It still flies on the grounds of South Carolina's capitol).<br /><br />Anywho, just to give you a glimpse of the Fabulous Life of Reenactors, here's a video tribute I found. Keep in mind, this is filmed in 2006! And to add mash on top of mash, it's sepia-toned!!!<br /><br /><b>105th PVI 2006</b><br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://youtube.com/v/oLtCXLxwjjk"></param><embed src="http://youtube.com/v/oLtCXLxwjjk" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>teena turnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17668646141601955972noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29315735.post-1162492770802520822006-11-02T10:35:00.000-08:002006-11-02T10:39:30.816-08:00From the People of the USA<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1000/758/1600/mash-friendship.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1000/758/320/mash-friendship.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><small>via <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/travlr/104373849/">travlr</a> on flickr</small>teena turnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17668646141601955972noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29315735.post-1162340412449824452006-10-31T15:55:00.000-08:002010-12-15T17:09:42.532-08:00M*A*S*H* CostumesStill need a costume?

A list:<br /><ol><li>Daylight savings and, thus, any residual feelings of summertime goodness, are officially gone.</li><br /><li>Sunset was at 5:12pm today, and by November 30, it will be dark by 4:50pm. If that's not depressing, I don't know what is. Also, dusk is by far the mashest part of the day, period.</li><br /><li>I slept until 1:15pm today. With the time change it was 12:15 but, still, that's just gross.</li><br /><li>Adding insult to injury, today is Sunday. School is tomorrow, <i>60 Minutes</i> is on tonight, you know <a href="http://mashtheory.blogspot.com/2006/06/mash-theory-breakdown.html">the drill</a>. </li></ol><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.lostdisciple.com/dusk.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.lostdisciple.com/dusk.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.midnightsun.uwaterloo.ca/images/msvi/asc/Chicago%20at%20dusk.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.midnightsun.uwaterloo.ca/images/msvi/asc/Chicago%20at%20dusk.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><small>Can you feel it?</small><br /><br /><br />Other generally mash days:<br /><ul><li>Christmas PM (presents are already opened, nothing on TV, nothing to do, stuck at home)</li><br /><li>Thanksgiving PM (see Christmas PM, except minus gifts, plus turkey hangover)</li><br /><li>New Year's Day (you're hung over, everything's closed, and nothing's on TV except football and the Rose Parade.)</li></ul><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.onelegacy.org/prod/content/images/M023B_RoseParade_OfficialPhoto_72dpi.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.onelegacy.org/prod/content/images/M023B_RoseParade_OfficialPhoto_72dpi.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.composerjohnbeal.com/parade_files/RoseParWEB.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.composerjohnbeal.com/parade_files/RoseParWEB.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><small>The Rose Parade is SO mash.</small><br /><br />As a matter of fact, I will be so bold as to say that the months of October - December generally champion the highest mash factor of the year.

My 4th grade fieldtrip to the La Brea Tar Pits just wouldn't have been the same without it. Hunched down in the bus seats, laughing 'til my sides hurt, I rolled the dice to see if Corey Haim or Corey Feldman and I would live in a mansion or a shack and drive a VW Rabbit or a Pinto.<br /><br />I've dramatically re-enacted my pre-teen selections for your viewing enjoyment below. I think this version of my life turned out pretty well.

The air fills with a dank, slightly moldy (in a good way) aroma and you know the fun is about to begin. (And by fun, I mean the prison caves where detainees try to trick the dog into giving them the key, of course.)<br /><br />Anyway, sometimes, when I turn on the air conditioning in my car, it smells like that for a couple of seconds. I love it. It’s a shining example of the good kind of mash that reminds you of the radness of being a kid and having the best time.<br /><br />Now if only I could transmit smells via the internet to share the mustiness with you…<br /><br /><small>(Thanks to Staup-Money for jolting my memory!)</small>teena turnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17668646141601955972noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29315735.post-1154969250321802122006-08-07T09:14:00.000-07:002010-12-15T17:18:31.946-08:00Faking ItOn a bad date with no end in sight? Trapped at drinks with coworkers at a sports bar called Froggy's? Feeling unpopular and want to pretend you have friends? Feeling low and need undeserved gratuitous compliments? Feeling mashed out by the fact that you have no friends?<br />
<br />

<br />
A couple of NYU art students created this handy little insta-friend service. You sign up online to have your phone called at a particular time, and half of a conversation plays on the other end. The faux conversations are hilarious - especially the "female voice" popularity call!<br />
<br />
Choose between four call options:<br />
1)The original popularity call (male voice)<br />
2)The popularity call II (female voice)<br />
3)The affirmation call<br />
4)The boss call (aka the "return to the office to deal with the xerox machine" call)<br />
<br />
Don't you feel more popular already? <br />
<br />
You can make others feel popular, too! I've already sent the affirmation call to a couple of friends who just might love being told how radical and wonderful they are... while in a work meeting with the boss, of course.teena turnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17668646141601955972noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29315735.post-1154624307219391212006-08-03T09:37:00.000-07:002010-12-15T17:17:43.772-08:00Drink Recipe: The CheechIt's been a long week. Hell, it's been a long six weeks. Today is the last day of summer school (so mash). I feel like <a href="http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/coverv/92/219392.jpg">Mark Harmon</a> and that calls for a drink.<br />
<br />
Named after <a href="http://imagecloset.com/8/thumbs/t_022904074757-cheech-marin.jpg">Cheech Marin</a> and, apparently, a favorite sippin' specialty of a certain <a href="http://www.contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.nsf/mndwebpages/green%20day%20stars%20discover%20cheech%20drink">band</a>, this little concoction will get you straight into weekend mode. It's tequila, but don't be scared. It's delicious.<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
Patron Silver tequila<br />
Tonic<br />
Lime (fresh or Rose's)<br />
A dash of Sprite<br />
Ice<br />

Tequila: What's to be afraid of?teena turnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17668646141601955972noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29315735.post-1154108536765607782006-07-28T10:27:00.000-07:002006-07-28T10:42:16.800-07:00Museum of Mailbox ArtGrowing up, my family had our mailbox smashed and destroyed weekly. A lucky confluence of factors led to this enviable claim-to-fame: 1) a long driveway shrouded by trees that neatly concealed the culprits’ identities; 2) a mailbox positioned at the pinnacle of a hairpin curve, perfect for the drive-by; 3) two high school aged siblings, me and my bro; 4) an anti-litter crusading father who frequently leaped out of moving cars to scold kids from my school for “gifting” Carl’s Jr. cups to the neighborhood.<br /><br />So, as you might guess, mailboxes are a touchy subject for me. I refuse to get attached to these postal receptacles. This, apparently, is not the case for <a href="http://sblom.com/mailbox/">these folks</a>, who’ve created some pretty radical mailbox folk art.<br /><br />Mail call!<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1000/758/1600/mailbox1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1000/758/200/mailbox1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />"The Ben Dover"<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1000/758/1600/mailbox4.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1000/758/200/mailbox4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />"The Hammer"<br /><br /><a href="http://sblom.com/mailbox/microwave.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;" src="http://sblom.com/mailbox/microwave.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />"The Microwave"<br /><br /><a href="http://sblom.com/mailbox/MailBox10.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;" src="http://sblom.com/mailbox/MailBox10.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />"The Camera"<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1000/758/1600/mailbox3.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1000/758/200/mailbox3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />"The Uncle Sam"<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1000/758/1600/mailbox2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1000/758/200/mailbox2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />"The Ass"<br /><br /><small>(via <a href="http://sblom.com/mailbox/">Sam's Mailbox Picture Collection</a> and my new fave website, <a href="http://www.coudal.com/moom.php">MOOM</a>)</small>teena turnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17668646141601955972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29315735.post-1153925607022356192006-07-26T07:50:00.000-07:002006-07-26T07:53:27.036-07:00Suds Away!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1000/758/1600/hoff_soap.gif"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1000/758/320/hoff_soap.png" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Now in a "new hunky aroma"!teena turnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17668646141601955972noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29315735.post-1153762941426591962006-07-24T10:35:00.000-07:002006-07-24T10:42:21.436-07:00Snack Mash<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://snacks.cyberpunks.org/cherry-mash.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://snacks.cyberpunks.org/cherry-mash.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Old timey packaging?

As noted <a href="http://mashtheory.blogspot.com/2006/07/word-em-up.html">elsewhere</a>, words like "lover" and "intimate" are already off-limits, and I'd like to extend that prohibition to "keep that spark alive" how-to's.<br /><br />Case-in-point: Lovetripper.com's <a href="http://www.lovetripper.com/article/every-trip-honeymoon/outdoor-romance.html">How to Make Every Trip a Honeymoon</a>.<br />WARNING: This list of "do's" is not for the faint of heart!<br /><br />How to create that loving feeling, the highlight reel:<ul><li>Watch for falling stars. Don’t forget to make a wish!</li><li>Splurge with a helicopter or a submarine tour to take your love to new heights—or depths.</li><li>Buy sleeping bags that zip together.</li><li>Find a daisy—or a hibiscus or sunflower or any other local flower—and play “he loves me, he loves me not.” Each positive answer gets a kiss.</li><li>Find a hayride and hop aboard.</li><li>Gather seashells, pine cones or tiny pebbles. Create a heart at your door’s threshold.</li><li>Go for a walk in the rain—wearing nothing but raincoats.</li><li>Hop aboard a ferry. Kiss every time the ship’s horn sounds.</li><li>If a rain shower arises, don’t let it dampen your day—go for a sensuous stroll.</li><li>Pick flowers to match your partner’s eyes.</li><li>Play hide and seek in a fragrant garden.</li><li>Roll up your pants and wade along the water’s edge as you hold hands.</li><li>See how long you can kiss underwater.</li><li>Sit in a spring field and see how many wildflowers you can count together.</li><li>Take a romantic rock or leaf hunt as you stroll or hike. Search for heart—or more risqué—shapes.</li><li>Visit a marina and “window shop” to select your favorite vessels. Daydream about charting a course around the world, just the two of you.</li><li>Take a hike and pick up small items along the way like a twig, a dried leaf, a feather, or a smooth pebble. That night, blindfold your partner and sensuously stroke the items across his or her bare skin. See if your lover can identify the item.</li><li>Watch the clouds and imagine shapes in their puffy forms. Feeling naughty? The two of you can point out your own R—or X—rated shapes.</li><br /></UL>Yachts are always romantic, much like fragrant gardens, hayrides, and, of course, the sensuous stroke of a dirty feather across a lover's chest.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.spiritwolf52.com/Wallpapers/Scenic/Casay414%20Romance%20Columns.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;" src="http://www.spiritwolf52.com/Wallpapers/Scenic/Casay414%20Romance%20Columns.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> <br />Très romantique!teena turnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17668646141601955972noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29315735.post-1152769120938062382006-07-12T22:23:00.000-07:002010-12-15T17:20:34.779-08:00Weekend Recipe: Grilled Pizza on the BBQ<a href="http://marylandsupscalesingles.com/images/grilled%20pizza.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://marylandsupscalesingles.com/images/grilled%20pizza.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" /></a><br />
This little recipe combines two of my favorite things: pizza and grilling. Plus, it's super easy, which totally rules. Plus Pizza Hut is totally mash.<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
- Pizza dough (I buy the ready-to-go whole wheat dough from Trader Joe's)<br />
- Pizza sauce (I get the kind in a jar, also from TJ's, but you can use tomato paste and add herbs)<br />
- Assorted veggie toppings<br />
- Shredded mozzarella cheese<br />
<br />
Roll the dough into a ball and cut it into four equal sections. <br />
Flatten each section (with hands or a rolling pin) into a pizza shape, maybe 1/4" to 1/2" thick. <br />
Brush each side with olive oil. <br />
Toss onto a pre-heated grill and grill each side a couple of minutes until there are grill marks. Don't worry - it won't seep through the grills.<br />
Meanwhile, you should also be grilling your veggies and toppings. <br />
Remove pizza crusts and add sauce, (pre-cooked) toppings, and cheese. <br />
Put pizzas back on the grill for 3-5 minutes or until desired crispness.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />
