I am REPOSTING this after the OUTAGE because it was FUNNY to us oldfags and you should HEAR it, dammit.
Anyway, on the Sep 15 MATI, Josh mentioned after the (rib-shattering) Sacramento council video that it reminded him of an old "cactus" prank. I was taken aback by the reference because I immediately knew what he was talking about. He was referring to the "What's Your Bid" radio station prank organized in 2003 by the Phone Losers of America. Here is the original MP3.
I originally wrote that I downloaded it from Phone Losers on 1-18-2004, but thinking back, it might have come off one of the old PLA Media CDs. For something like 5 bucks, Brad would snail-mail you a CD-R with the ubiquitous yellow sticker, like this:
The modern version of this CD is a giant fucking torrent which amazingly still gets seeded pretty regularly. So the tradition carries on. Long live the PLA yo
