my cable company sent an email suggesting that the emergency broadcast test might get stuck and how to reset your cable box if it does
10:23am
Jamie Lee Curtis:
If things are stuck after the emergency broadcast system activation, a little Activiation should loosen things back up and restore program regularity.
10:28am
BSI:
Lizardner Dave @10:14 -- oddly I read that with Tony Coulter's voice in my head...
10:35am
Detroit Mac:
Just take these Emergency Broadcast Wires and stick them in your eyes and ears... this is only a test. (Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth. And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings)

Hey. Just got out of Gitmo. Did I miss anything?
10:54am
Ike:
The opening stalling sequence was wildly inspirational to me. I will procrastinate all day in honor of it. But I've been out commuting for a while. Did I miss the stalling tape? I want the actual, genuine stalling tape. I demand it. DEMAND!
10:54am
Mark:
nah, you didn't mess anything
10:55am
Denise in DC:
I messed my panties.

Denise -- then a little more caution is advised for you in taking my earlier recommendation.
11:02am

It would had been cooler if the FEMA test was this Friday at 11:11hrs, 11/11/11.

I will be listening to Amanda's show on the Give The Drummer Radio stream at 2pm. Will I be able to enjoy the EBS test? I'm thinking the answer is "no".
11:39am
Mark:
and then they all had fresh ham
11:40am
Ike:
No, LD, that's our FEMA/FCC escape hatch! Isn't it?
11:41am
٩(-̮̮̃ -̃)۶ fofo:
Is Facebook and Twitter participating in the test? Otherwise I see it pointless.
11:42am
Carmichael:
GTDS radio is a private stream, and therefore out of the enormous auspices of the FCC. Make sure and use the F word liberally while commenting.
11:42am
Sam:
Wasn't Facebook supposed to be destroyed by those anarchists on Nov 5th?? I was counting on that. How the hell will we ever destroy Facebook? It will take a D-Day of epic proportions.

We are always way behind the curve on everything. Haven't you been paying attention for the last century?

11:44am
Ken:
No Amanda's show will not air the EAST test. If you want to be part of our national freakout, you must tune into as many AM, FM & TV stations as possible. Do it.
11:45am
Lizardner Dave:
My dilemma is I *want* to hear the EBS test. Guess I'll have to switch to the FM stream to check it out.
11:45am
Mark:
I hope our Alaska listeners are doing ok in the mammoth Bering Sea storm
11:46am
Government Bureaucracy:
Do a music-EAS mashup by running two streams. See, we *try* to be a little less out of it.
11:46am
Lizardner Dave:
I was kind enough to warn the receptionist at my place of work not to freak out at 2pm - there are six different TVs tuned to six different channels on the walls surrounding her.
11:49am
J J:
Ha. Agree about the vocals. Started listening to the station and after a while I was like who's the DJ playing this jack ass crap? Oh, nevermind.

Self-loathing sucks. Self-loathing people should be ashamed of themselves. They should loathe themselves! Get confident, stupid!

BarryO:
We need the announcment system solid, people, so if I am forced to postpone the election next year due to a huge national security emergency because I'm just too far behind in the polls, I can get everyone's attention in a really impressive way.
Can you say "leadership"? I knew you could.
11:51am

oh dear the same thing was said about George Bush the second postponing elections

Core meltdown in four minutes.

Whart we all need to do at 2PM...Run about,run about, wave your arms and shout!!!!!
Does Nardwar _have_ to use that voice, or does he just want to re-awaken the urge to kill that's left me ever since Barret Eugene Hansen left the air.
