She dropped a ladder down to the hate pit and then burned that ladder. Her accent is awesome. She's in a "praise" band, which is fascinating. Danielsonesque. Or maybe it's not fascinating, but she was a good caller, especially for not even having been listening to the show.

I liked her first call better than the second.
I missed part of last night's show - did Tom do the promised Hall of Fame induction?
-
I agree; she was a great caller. She deserves props for waiting to create a Myspace page instead of immediately throwing her miter into an already diluted fray. Everyone wants to receive praise, but Bonnie's the one working hard on her tambourine to give it out.

I've been a Bonnie fan since her first call back in Feb:
- Bonnie from Georgia calls (starts at 26:53) to discuss the perils of winter weather in the South and provide a scene report on Tom's new favorite drink. Tom recalls going down to Georgia one January during a rare ice storm. Bonnie says that people are still talking about this very ice storm. As Tom attempted to leave Atlanta, he had to deal with petrified drivers poorly navigating the unplowed roads -- every half mile was dotted with someone who had turfed out into the abutment. Bonnie recalls assisting senior citizens deal with the ice and sleet one winter because this kind of weather is scary and unrecognizable to local residents. Tom tells Bonnie that the Georgia guy who runs the Chunkolate Covered Hearts fanzine called the show last week. She knows about his publication, but she's never actually seen any of the Green Stamps he was talking about. Tom says that Henry lived in Cabbagetown, where one can apparently still redeem a book of Green Stamps for a new hi-fi system. Tom cackles about Mr. Owing's neighborhood, but he admits that he doesn't even know what it is. Bonnie is also unable to explain the mysteries of Cabbagetown, the southern equivalent of Western Maine.
Tom commends Bonnie for having the guts to call pre-topic, and she feels like she has something important to offer. Bonnie went to Wal-Mart last week to buy a pack of blank CDs. She discovered that she had $4 left and then something caught her eye: a really dusty four-pack of Coke Blãk. Bonnie spent her last bit of cash on the fledgling beverage, and she thought it was delicious. Tom wants to know if the street buzz in Atlanta, the home of Coca-Cola, is that Coke Blãk was a rare flop for the corporation, but Bonnie says that most of her friends haven't even heard of it. Tom and Bonnie don't understand why more people aren't enthused about this carbonated fusion energy drink. Its delicate mix of coffee and soda actually inspired Bonnie to finally get into standalone coffee two weeks ago. Tom wonders if vegetables or sandals are some of the exciting new experiences Bonnie has planned. She says she plans to move to vegetables in the next year or so. Bonnie will slowly explore these uncharted waters one step at a time.
Tom asks Bonnie if she grew up in Georgia, or, as the natives call it, "N'awlins". She says she spent five years in Tennessee, and the rest of her time on this big rock of ours in Georgia. She thinks it's pretty good, but plans to flee to California after college. Bonnie says she felt a strong connection to the beauty of the state when she visited San Francisco last summer. Then again, Bonnie says she might just stay in Georgia until she’s 85 and retired, and then head west. Tom urges her not to give up on her dream, and Bonnie promises to keep it alive.

I like her, too! She seems pretty nice.

That gag is (or at least should be) classic.
-
wow, I wasn't expecting this kind of support. I have to say, after last night's second call to Tom, I hung the phone up feeling very humbled and a bit ashamed for sounding so conceited. I thought that I might be thrown into the hate pit. Not really, but I was sad, nonetheless. So, it makes me happy to see that you guys like me.
"You like me! You really like me!"
Thank you.

Creepy and stalkerish.
I got my eye on you.
Jesus Christ!
Jesus Christ!
Jesus Christ!
I miss that show.

Bonnie,
I have to admit, I used to abuse the word "retarded" on a daily basis.
Your call to Tom's "Words I hate" topic made me knock it off.
I probably sounded retarded using that word so much.
Thanks! ...stay awesome
-
I like Bonnie! I like the name! I like the person! WHATS NOT TO LIKE?
-
I miss that show.
Me, too, Stan. Me, too.
-
I miss that show.

Sarah, I was worried Jesus Christ had also abducted you, and that's why you were missing.
Sarah will soon be gone.
That show was pretty awful.
That doesn't stop me from telling my cats, "I got my eye on YOU."
-
She don't sound Suhth'n.

JFC and its quotable weirdness will linger in our minds for a long time. Bonnie's praise band should write a song about John Monad to bring this thread full circle.

I am really worried that I sound Suhth'n. Lawsy.

I would place you as a Southerner, Dave - but be proud! I don't have a Southern accent (due to my unhealthily suburban upbringing) but a gentle one is the most genteel sound in human speech.
-
Welcome, Bonnie.

I started this thread before I heard your second call. I take it all back.
kidding!

if the best we can be is just a little bit worse than the show, and the show can't be topped or stopped, then i think that means...i forgot where i was going with this.
