soLong, Wfmr. I'm Broken Hearted.

WFMR has been broadcasting classical music in the Milwaukee market for over 50 years. Granted, it is a niche market, but a niche with a very loyal listener base.As of midnight tonight, WFMR is dumping the classical format and will start playing "smooth jazz."It is the purpose of any radio station to make money, and a format that attracts the most listeners allows the station to charge more money for advertising due to advertisers getting more listeners.What happened was that the smooth jazz station dumped the format (just what the market needs, yet another rocker) so the classical station is dumping classical to get that huge smooth jazz audience - all three or four more listeners than classical had.

Did I tell you the college story about sliders?

2 guys who lived in my dorm were discussing various food items one evening. One of them was from the Chicago area and mentioned sliders. His roommate was from an area of the country without WCs. They decided that it was unthinkable that he was 20 and had never tasted a slider! So they hopped in a car, drove 4 hours to Chicago, got sliders, and drove back. They got back to campus just in time for 8:30 class.

Well, fine then.

My 8th grade algebra teacher had a good story about them, too.

When he was in high school, he'd hang out with his friends at a local WC. Being teenage boys, they'd usually each order a bag of 10, and then they'd sit in their cars in the lot and eat them. One evening, my teacher couldn't finish all of his, so he picked up the last one, removed it from it's box and threw it at the plate glass window on the front of the restaurant. Not only did it stick to the window, it stuck together! Then it started "crawling" down the glass, falling apart only when it reached the windowsill.
