of Bill O'Neill's (two Ls) notes vis a vis plastic meat :

Gary then noted ....

Gary - it's O'Neill for goodness sake.  most times, the problem is trying to
figure out when to turn the sarcasm mode "off" on his notes.  (duckin' &
grinnin')

of the WBZ revised programming schedule - this isn't the first time that WBZ
has made a bone-headed move in regards to its on-air product.  and hopefully
the pitchfork&torch-wielding crowd will be loud enough for someone at CBS to
hear and make it right again, like WBZ has done in the past with some of
their other idiotic, what-were-they-thinking moves.

but if this is the wave of the WBZ future, then as they used to say... 
We'll B - Z-ing you... later.  much.
