Happy National Disc Jockey Day...

It is time to celebrate us today and the fact that we're jobless but hey, we have a podcast going on!

Cheers to all today on this frosty day!


 


The world would be so good if it weren't for some people...

Well thanks for that Joe, because today is also Blue Monday, the saddest day of the year! Hopefully some zippy dj music will brighten the day for those who are a little down today!

If it is a scam, odd it gets so much news coverage every year..

Thank you grilled.cheese.    

I have never bought into this and wondered what the backstory was;  but never bothered to check it out myself.

Well, shame on the news media then if they keep making this a thing every year. I guess if wiki says so, it must be true?

Worth mentioning that National Grilled Cheese Day this year is on April 12th.

Of course not!

Wikipedia is only as good as the sources an article's writer uses...or in too many cases doesn't.

In this case when I opened and read many of the 18 footnote links the author provides including Guardian pieces,  I personally came to the same conclusion that grilled.chesse posted.  I did so based on that reading, (while recognizing that there were also writings that support the claim) not just because it was posted on a Wiki page.
