The World's Biggest Spatula

Andy West — Thu, 23 May 2013 22:57:46 +0000

I love to make home made pizza. I bought a pizza stone which I heat in the oven while I'm assembling my pizza on a well floured plastic cutting board. Unfortunately, by the time I add the extra weight of the cheese and toppings to the crust the dough has absorbed much of that flour and when I try to slide it off onto the heated stone (you heat it beforehand so the dough will cook evenly on both sides) it sticks

An Old School Phone For Your New School Phone

Andy West — Thu, 23 May 2013 22:41:55 +0000

From the crusty old man wing of Cat Country 102.9… Some things I will never understand. On the way to Harper & Madison for lunch today I took this picture. My friends spent real cash money on this puke green contraption. Why would somebody pay hundreds of dollars for an iPhone or Android only to buy a peripheral [...]

Make Sure Your Name Is Spelled Correctly When Receiving An Airline Voucher

Andy West — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 00:51:49 +0000

Recently I took a flight to California and I heard an announcement over the loudspeaker asking for people willing to give up their seats for a $400 voucher. So I walked up to the counter and told them I’d be willing to give up my seat. I fly often so it seemed like a good [...]

Is Billings A Garbage Dump?

Andy West — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 00:23:00 +0000

Well it shouldn’t be but as you can see from the photo above some citizens of the Magic City don’t care. Sometimes I wonder if they call this the Magic City because we can make the beer inside a bottle disappear. This little gem was found on the north west corner of Broadway and 1st [...]

How To Get Your Woman To Agree To Turn Your Entire Home Into Your Personal Man Cave

Andy West — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 01:04:38 +0000

On Beer 30 today I played a request for David Frizell's - I'm Gonna Hire A Wino To Decorate Our Home which is a very instructional song. So what did we learn? We learned that if you go out to the bar and get hammered every night it will inspire your lady to let you renovate your home and turn it into your own personal man cave

Don't You Just Hate Not Being Acknowledged By A Business?

Andy West — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 22:20:38 +0000

I was waiting at a fitness club today because I wanted to inquire how much a membership was and if it wasn't too expensive I was going to sign up right away. It's a block from where I live so I can walk there (If I had to drive I probably wouldn't make the effort if you know what I mean)

IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE THE FREE CANDY, BROWNIE AND DONUT PERSON AT THE OFFICE…

Andy West — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 23:22:09 +0000

Then the least you can do is provide fat pants in a full range of sizes. I mean, seriously people, take some responsibility for your actions. This rant may actually inspire me to start a “Fat Pants” charity… just sayin’

The Do's and Don'ts of Facebook Etiquette

Karen Gallagher — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 22:00:23 +0000

Facebook. What a wonderful social media! It keeps you up to date on everything that is happening with family, friends, work and other news that people think is important. Although I'm not an avid Facebooker, I am on there, and I'd would like to share a few do's and dont's of Facebook etiquette that I try to follow as a guideline.

Habits That Annoy Women

Dylan Fletcher — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 21:56:19 +0000

Men possessing habits that annoy women? I know that is hard to believe, but that is what we are talking about this afternoon. Not that we would need to make an official list of them, but what are some of those habits that a guy has that women would find annoying? Scratching and adjusting below the [...]

Why the Flakes Hate the New GM Signing Bonus [AUDIO]

Cat Country — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 15:45:28 +0000

According to the Associated Press, The United Auto Workers union won $5,000 signing bonuses, as well as the possibility of sweeter profit-sharing checks as part of a new four-year contract with General Motors Co.. GM was the first of the "Detroit Three" to reach an agreement with the UAW, with Chrysler likely to be next, followed by Ford, where little progress has been made in negotiations so far.

This morning, Paul explained why he believes it’s “A bad day for America” and why this debt reduction bill really isn’t a debt reduction bill at all. Hear the discussion below: What are your [...]

Paul's Rant: Are You A Maker Or A Taker?

Cat Country — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 22:05:23 +0000

Yesterday was Tax Day in America. A little over half of us did our duty and wrote checks to support governmental function. Not that we had a whole lot of choice in the matter. There were a group of students at Montana State University-Billings who think you should pay more. The tax system was subject [...]

Cat Country — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 23:20:07 +0000

If you listen to the Breakfast Flakes regularly, there are occasions when Mark and Paul get fired up. The proposed new Billings Library was one of the occasions. Here’s what happened. Paul: The public took a look at the new library designs this week with the project’s proposed architect. There were some pictures displayed of [...]
