grant_p when I heard this.
So, my Wednesday mornings now consist of sitting at a dissecting scope peering at dried grass and taking measurements for several hours. As you can imagine, this is an absolutely riveting task. So, to keep my brain occupied, I listen to the radio, particularly the morning show of one of the local stations. Since it was a morning show, they were giving periodic traffic updates for people going to work. Normally I wouldn't pay much attention to them (seeing as I'm where I need to be at, well, 7AM. >_>), but my ears pricked up when the traffic girl mentions there were some delays due to a transformer fire that had caused a power outage and thus had killed some traffic lights.
The DJs immediately leaped on this. "Oh no! Optimus Prime!" "Was it an Autobot or a Decepticon?" "BUMBLEBEE'S ON FIRE!!!"
The next time the transformer fire was mentioned, they included a sound clip from the old TV show, just to drive the point home. "Autobots! Move out!" XD
I was giggling like an idiot. When you're on sleep dep at 8 in the morning, this is comedy gold.

Date: 2008-09-11 12:07 pm (UTC)My favorite was the one traffic guy on the station I use to listen to. Whenever there was a car fire he'd say "Time to bring out the hotdogs! We have a car-b-que on the beltline just after Rock Quarry road."
Why can't the traffic guys in Indy be awesome?
