This morning 8-9pm, Boston WRKO, the Peter and Scotto program, who asked Kerry first about BOTOX. Anyone else heard it this morning? It was incredible!!!

The host scotto was fired on the air, I assumed.

Apparently, the RKO station management had a meeting yesterday about the direction of their radio and they are nervous about the launch of liberal radio. Apparently, the management wanted hosts to turn more to the left.

Apparently, they also sent out a memo out on this.

I heard Scotto was unhappy about the meeting and the memo. He talked openly about this. Then some audio was cut off. Then I heard Scotto protested on the air. I heard some man said in the background "Fired! Fired!".

The producer came to the microphone and argued with Scotto on the air. The producer said he just called Scotto's wife and "it's done". Scotto was mad hearing this. The open argument continued on the air before 8:30am. He continued the program till 9am.

I assumed Scotto was fired.

Apparently, the next talk program by Pat has also changed host. As I listened this morning, the conservative Pat was no longer the host.

Today is April 1. But this seems to be real!

FWIW, just as I turned off the radio this morning at around 6:15, a caller was saying to Scotto, "If I wanted to hear this crap, I could read the Boston Globe."

"...the past tense of 'fight' is 'fought'."

And instead of being knighted, he was knought.

I've always wondered why authors write that a person "lighted" a cigarette!

People don't talk that way- they say "lit".

[Prince Charles]

After he fighted with the producer, was he drug out of the studio?

[beelzepug]

"If I wanted to hear this crap, I could read the Boston Globe."

The caller's newspaper speaks to him? I can't even get the damned kid to DELIVER mine!

[VadeRetro]

When Mike Tyson fighted Evander Holyfield he bited him good.

[beelzepug]

"...okay. I AM an april fool!"

Hey! I just realized this is my one-year anniversary on Free Republic. I guess that makes me one, too.

fut is the past pluperfect, as I recall

One of the major problems encountered in time travel is not that of accidentally becoming your own father or mother. There is no problem involved in becoming your own father or mother that a broad-minded and well-adjusted family can't cope with. There is no problem about changing the course of history—the course of history does not change because it all fits together like a jigsaw. All the important changes have happened before the things they were supposed to change and it all sorts itself out in the end.

The major problem is quite simply one of grammar, and the main work to consult in this matter is Dr. Dan Streetmentioner's Time Traveler's Handbook of 1001 Tense Formations. It will tell you, for instance, how to describe something that was about to happen to you in the past before you avoided it by time-jumping forward two days in order to avoid it. The event will be described differently according to whether you are talking about it from the standpoint of your own natural time, from a time in the further future, or a time in the further past and is further complicated by the possibility of conducting conversations while you are actually traveling from one time to another with the intention of becoming your own mother or father.

Most readers get as far as the Future Semiconditionally Modified Subinverted Plagal Past Subjunctive Intentional before giving up; and in fact in later editions of the book all the pages beyond this point have been left blank to save on printing costs.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy skips lightly over this tangle of academic abstraction, pausing only to note that the term "Future Perfect" has been abandoned since it was discovered not to be.
