WTF in Wisconsin?!

Posted in: KJ

Funny story from my home state…

THE WISCONSIN TOURISM FEDERATION CHANGED ITS NAME BECAUSE ITS ACRONYM WAS “WTF”:

 In 1979, the good people of Wisconsin started an organization to promote tourism called the Wisconsin Tourism Federation.  But most people just called it the WTF.

 –Anyway, as I’m sure you’re aware, the acronym “WTF” has taken on an entirely new meaning over the past few years. 

–So, recently, the Wisconsin Tourism Federation decided to CHANGE ITS NAME, and now it’s called the Tourism Federation of Wisconsin.  (???)

You can link to the Tourism Federation of Wisconsin’s website here . . .

Indianapolis, and the surrounding area, is home to quite a few success stories in the world of music …

  • Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds first went double-platinum with his 1989 release Tender Lover;
  • The Why Store has rocked the area since 1993, including national success with their 1997 hit “Lack of Water;”
  • Guns ‘N Roses frontman Axl Rose was born in Lafayette;
  • Most recently, Anderson native Jon McLaughlin hit the national airplay charts several times and was even nominated for an Oscar;
  • Of course, we have to mention John Mellencamp and Henry Lee Summer;
  • Transmatic, Virgin Millionaires, Dave & Rae, The Flying Toasters, Stereo Deluxe, Hum V, Lynda Sayahh, and too many other great local bands to mention.

Today, I want to get your feedback on two more “local” acts that I think are good enough for us to play on Z99.5:  The Elms and KJ Testin

The Elms, originally from Seymour, have actually been performing together for nearly ten years.  Their newest release, The Great American Midrange, is receiving national exposure with the first single, “Back To Indiana,” already in the Top 100 airplay charts.  The Elms produce a quintessential breed of Midwestern, rootsy rock grounded in a style that would be at home during the 60’s & 70’s. 

KJ, not to be confused with KJ from the Smiley Morning Show, is a stunning 24-year-old from Indianapolis with a rock-and-roll background that plays well for her transition to contemporary country with crossover appeal.  You can already hear one of her songs on HANK-FM, one of our local radio competitors.

Please check out their music below and leave me a comment, whether or not you like the songs, and if you think we should give them a shot with airplay on Z99.5.  I look forward to reading your feedback.  And, if you like what you hear, be sure to support them by attending local concerts and purchasing their music from iTunes.

I had the opprtunity to check out a kid camp here in indianapolis called Camp Jameson over by the Indianapolis Airport yeserday!  They had me help emcee the event with Todd Wallace from RTV6. Camp Jameson is important to indianapolis because they provide camp for kids that might not be able to afford it.  That i why they depend on donations from us!

here is there website: http://www.jamesoncamp.org/

Check out the link below, it will tell you based on how many people you’ve “been” with, the number of partners you’ve been exposed to.  Mine was only 7,926 when the average is over 200,000…I feel like a loser!

Here are six bizarre dog behaviors that can be explained by EVOLUTION. 

 

 

#1.)  Eating their own poop:  Back when dogs were wild, predators would use the scent of droppings to track down a dog’s den.  So, in order to protect their puppies, mother dogs started cleaning up the evidence by eating the waste left by their offspring. 

 

 

#2.)  Sniffing each other’s butts:  A dog’s sense of smell is about 100,000 times better than a human’s, and each dog secretes its own unique scent through glands in its no-go hole. 

 

 

–Anyway, by sniffing another dog’s backside, a dog can tell everything it needs to know . . . like the other dog’s sex, how healthy it is, what it eats, and even its mood.

 

 

#3.)  Turning around before sitting:  Before dogs were domesticated, they would twirl around a few times before lying down in order to flatten any tall grass. 

 

 

–Turning around a few times also served the purpose of making an area more comfortable by exposing a cooler layer of dirt, and was a great way of scouring the underbrush for unfriendly creatures like snakes. 

 

 

#4.)  Licking:  In the dog world, licking serves several different purposes.  For example, while humans rub or scratch at sore or itchy spots, dogs lick at them. 

 

 

–And for dogs, licking can also be a submissive gesture.  So when your dog licks you, it’s not because he loves you and wants to give you “doggy kisses,” but because he knows you could probably kill him if you chose to. 

 

 

#5.)  Wagging their tails:  When a dog wags its tail, it isn’t necessarily a sign that it’s happy.  In fact, the position of the tail matters a lot more than the wagging itself. 

 

–For example, if a dog’s tail is held low and in the shape of a “U”, it’s probably a sign that the dog is content.  But if the tail is raised and wagging frantically, it’s a sign that the dog is upset. 

 

–In other words, tail-wagging is a primitive form of communication. 

 

 

#6.)  Humping your leg:  Dogs use humping to establish dominance over other animals.  So when a dog humps your leg, it’s not necessarily because he’s horny, it’s because he’s trying to show you who’s boss.

I can’t believe Women actually want this…I asked all of my female friends and they are going to buy this!  Really?  It’s looks a little suggestive!  It’s ”the latest invention in weight loss.”  You can buy it for $19.95 on their website.

It’s called the “Shake Weight”!
