I think this is funny as hell...

Okay: I think when everyone's got Carl on their machine, we'll switch to Charlie. Soon after that, the nation will be deaf and we'll be done with it. I received a new iMac and a new iPod (both were dyin' here, from age and overuse). Yes, I misused "their." I'd just been given TONY TICKETS!! Tony was terrific. Sounded like he wasn't a day over 75 (kidding - 45). Um, did I miss anything? So many questions to answer….

They'll immediately turn to another famous NPR host or personality and use that person's voice to give answering machines. It will probably involve blackmail of some sort. My bet's on Bob Siegel. Given how many times they've gotten him on the show, they've got to have some SERIOUS dirt on him already... Auros... all time win ratios? Hm. That's a wonderful excuse to listen through the archives again... I'll try to scrape those together for you before October if no one has the good sense to stop me... Simple, IshMEL.

Apparently, the Incredible Hulk has a blog, although he calls it "HULK'S DIARY THAT IS ON THE INTERNET". The entry on Karl Rove was worth the trip to me: http://incrediblehulk.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_incrediblehulk_archive.html#112377459718525848 PS Loved your winning answer on Wait Wait re: why men have difficulty hearing women. It's for moments like that that I love that show. Hey Adam,

"Hello, this is Carl Kassel. If you know the number of the party you are trying to reach, please enter it at any time. For a company directory, press 1. For directions to our facility, press 2. To speak to an operator, press 0. This is Carl Kassel." Maybe NPR can go for the big-time corporate donations by offering Carl Kassel’s voice on corporate voice-mail systems!

I'll be missing yet another Felber extravaganza. Don't think I have forgotten you, Adam, just because my "Felber in 04" buttons didn't sell. We will meet again. Consider yourself warned.
