FROM THE MIND OF STEVE BAXLEY
By Steve Baxley
(As told to Pita Ojeda at a fine lunch)

-Lets update the Updateable before going into our ususal two fisted raves

-Like the shuttle takeoff..."Operation Florida" has been postponed, and logically I must agree, see in the week we were to have gone, I would only have but 10 minutes to do actually anything myself, so in essence not much but a drive by hi to fla..now in August, i would have two to three weeks to do what I want and spend time wooing Pita. thus AUGUST will be our "OPERATION FLA" but watch tomorrow as my surprize becomes known to Pita, 9-10am eastern on Telemundo.

-Now as for the now majority ruled Veto of my broadcast partner's Publicty stunt, I went behind his back to some legendary jocks and e-mailed them about Dougs Idea, now Doug blasted me for an idea I had for the "Weekend Lap Dance" saying it was too STERNlike..well guess what Doug, I had my NBC source check into somethings for me when he was in chicago..
and here is his findings...
First off Howard NEVER did the live lap dance idea, that is an original idea I cooked up for if we got the MTRN gig, but see heres the kicker, your idea IS A RIP OFF OF MANCOWS!!
Thats right , Erich Meuller (a devout ENEMY of our mentor Steve Dahl) did the EXACT SAME STUNT!! so Doug, i suggest to you, is to listen to Steve Dahl more.

Now my idea was to have a live caller at a deja vu get a lap dance and we would not only talk to the caller but to the dancer,and if the dance got the caller to say the secret word, he'd win a prize.

Now our show would basically be like our WXUT show, except more formatted
-more calls
-live guests
-live preview of 11pm news from 11,24 or 13
-live local talent spotlight
-sports report
-top and bottom news with Paul
-and a live preview of Coast to Coast AM
a full 3 hour show
nothing wrong with that

Now due to my oversight,i didnt get the next chapter of "Lupita:The golden Princess" ready..later tonight it will be done


-My mothers knee surgery, the reason for the postponement of trip, will be in July, i am her coach and with that is a mighty big responsibility that i will have to foresee. from exercize to obvious more attention, she will be down for 2-3 weeks

-No Wimbledon contest this year, simple reason is I forgot and have other things on my mind that have warrented my full attention
