THE BAN AND THE BANNED.

Who is ASt?

Is that referring to the A Special Thing boards?  That is my only guess, not that I've ever been involved with them, over there.

I bet there are countless wonderful weirdos out there who probably just don't call in b/c the the lines are jammed with regulars.

With the first post-purge show looming, anyone want to set the over/under line on the number "WFMU, you're on the air/Oh, hey, is this me?"s we can look forward to?

[JesseFromVegas]

Hey now, I'm from AST and I'm 1000% for this ban.

There should probably be a side bet on how long the first Spike call in this most recent round of Spike On The Clock lasts, too. I have really high hopes for this, as I think - though I could have my Spike Continuity wrong - the last round of Timed Spike eventually led us to the birth of Weirdos Exposed.

Personally, I'd like to see Spike show a sign of respect towards Tom's good faith move of not imposing a ban by coming up with a new greeting for his calls. Retiring "Heeeeeeeeellllllloooooooo" would be a dynamic sign of an exciting NewSpike Era, a Spike2.0.

"Heeeeeeeeellllllloooooooo, Tom" was way better that "Ahhh, Scharpling" or whatever he's been doing for the past year plus.

I give it fourteen seconds.

I give "The Ban" about two weeks.

Also, time to trade in that Vincent Price laugh on a new model.  Perhaps a nervous, high-pitched giggle?

I expect that Tom's intro of Spike will last longer than Spike's speaking portion of the call.

Let's hope. A while ago Tom had me crying when he kept cutting Spike off during a super long Spike intro.

also anyone who is mad about this? they're putting their own priorities OVER the natural organic flow of the show.

[seaurchindestroy]

How long is Tom Waits banned for?

[Alex_from_the_woods]

I haven't called since last December. Please sentence me to time served (8 months!).

This might seem pointless but I desperately need the kind of street cred that only time in the joint can provide. I'm begging, Tom.
