From an e-mail I sent several days ago:
subject: pointy shoes, drugs, sex, rock & roll
Dr Savage -
Since I tried to call your program and the lines were busy, I thought I would e-mail.
About two weeks ago, you did the pointy shoes shtick which darn near split my gut. I thought that introducing "pointy shoes" as a sub theme (almost what could be called a computer subroutine in geek talk), then continuing your topic for a dozen words or so, and going back to "pointy shoes", then to the topic and back was absolutely brilliant and I congratulate you.......................
"Savage is AOK. By the way, 56 mins into todays show and still an 'encore.' :("
Larry Morena (sp?) is sitting in for him tonight so it's a new show here. Of course, I can't remember what I had for lunch so take that for what it;s worth ;-)
Yes, that's a good example! Savage has warned men in the past to be wary of women with very pointy shoes. The pointer the shoe, the more trouble.
There's wisdom there!
I tried to call Savage twice and both times I got on without problem. I once called Dennis Prager and got through without problem. The phone rang 4 times and his producer Ava answered. Just flukish luck - I have spoken to people who have called both many times and always got a busy signal.
