Reminds me of the famous (?) song "Cows with guns".

<http://tinyurl.com/bvaq6> or, if you prefer the full bottle:

<http://www.danalyons.
com/lyrics/lyrics_for_public/cows_with_guns_lyrics.html>

Extract:
<quoting>
The President said "enough is enough
These uppity cattle, its time to get tough"
Cow dung flung

The newspapers gloated, folks sighed with relief
Tomorrow at noon, they would all be ground beef
Cows on buns

The cows were surrounded, they waited and prayed
They mooed their last moos,
they chewed their last hay
Cows out gunned

The order was given to turn cows to whoppers
Enforced by the might of ten thousand coppers
But on the horizon surrounding the shoppers

Came the deafening roar of chickens in choppers
</quoting>

Cheers, Phred.

Sky,

Thanks! I'll pass your kind words on to the staff. I believe a water cooler
memo would reach them faster!

I haven't heard it AFAIK. However, my wireless (radio for those who
came in late is more or less permanently tuned to the ABC [Oz]
Local Radio network. I haven't heard it on that; but that's not to
say it's not on one of the other ABC networks (Triple J is probably
the most likely candidate) or one of the commercial stations.

A quick Google for "dr. demento", and a scan of the top link, namely

<http://tinyurl.com/2mo4a8>
In full:
<http://www.google.com/musica?aid=kPgg_3-FrXE&sa=X&oi=music&ct=result>

turned up the contents of Volume 2, which includes "The Purple People
Eater" -- talk about taking a bloke back to secondary school days!

Now I'm going to have to rummage around in music store CD bins!

Cheers, Phred.

there are a few 'live' streaming audio outlets on the 'net:

http://krellan.com/demento/

this is the one i listen to, out of arizona:

http://www.krde.com/

i realize that for you the time differential might make it dicey, but
there it is. the show is a lot of fun. i'm sure there is software
out there to capture the stream, but i'm just a junior grade computer
geek.

Thanks for those pointers, Blake. However, I have to say I haven't
really got into this streaming stuff. My ADSL broadband link isn't
very broad (I've given up on Andy's "movie" chuckles for example) and
this PC doesn't have a sound card, so trialing audio by itself isn't a
present option either. :-(

Cheers, Phred.

yikes. i thought *i* had a steam-powered machine.

i'm not sure what the difference between adsl and dsl is, but i have
the latter and it's fast enough. audio takes a lot less than video.

I think the "a" stands for "asynchronous". But whether that makes for
a real difference, or whether it's just a pedantic acronym, I'll have
to leave to others too. My adsl is 256/64 FWIW.

>the latter and it's fast enough. audio takes a lot less than video.

Okay. I'll give it a go when I get wired for sound.



Cheers, Phred.
