Hi folks,
Some of you may have noticed that I haven't swapped out photos in several days. The reason is that it is
Spring, and I am busy doing things around the house and yard. I should resume working on my website in the next few days.
In the meantime, I heard something today that put a smile on my
face. I was so happy, and it made my day.
First, a little back story. Obviously, my username in this
Forum is
Meepzorp. As some
Forum members already know (because I have written about this in the past), there are 3 different versions (or incarnations) of
Meepzorp in the media. The first 2 versions are "Saturday Night Live" (the "Coneheads" sketches) and Disney. The thought of using
Meepzorp as my username is from the third version of
Meepzorp, which is the "Howard Stern Show".
As some
Forum members already know, I am a huge Howard Stern fan. I have been listening to
his radio show almost every single day since 1984, when I was 16 years old. Several years ago, Howard and
his staff created a character called "
Meepzorp", who is an alien from outer space. Howard's staff
members used to prank call Riley
Martin (one of Howard's Whack Pack
members) as
Meepzorp. It was hilarious. I think those are some the greatest prank phone calls ever made. Every time I heard them, I would be hysterical laughing. That is the reason why I selected "
Meepzorp" as my username for this
Forum.
Unfortunately, Riley passed away a few years ago. And
Meepzorp was never heard from again - until today.
Today, on the "Howard Stern Show", during the "Jeopardy" segment, Howard was talking to High Register Sean (another one of Howard's Whack Pack
members) on the phone. And
Meepzorp called in!!!
I hadn't heard from him in a long time. In fact, Howard himself said, "We haven't heard from
Meepzorp in years!"
When I heard Meepzorp's voice, it immediately put a smile on my
face. And I screamed out, "
Meepzorp!" I was so happy to hear
his voice.
If any
Forum members have SiriusXM satellite radio, they can hear it because Howard's show re-plays on a continuous loop all day long on channel 100. As I mentioned above,
Meepzorp called in during the "Jeopardy" segment.
