Did Anybody Hear Me Call in on the Radio?

Walden: Hello, Rush. I was calling with regard to your statements re Three Fish Enterprises.

Rush Limbaugh: What kind of introduction was that? Aren’t you gonna say “mega dittoes” or anything?

Walden: Forsooth! Mega what? Isn’t that some kind of printer using spirit masters… speaking of spirit masters, did …

Rush Limbaugh: Never mind! What did you call about?

Walden: I called?

Rush Limbaugh: Yes. You were saying something about three fish? I don’t recall saying anything about fish?

Walden: Yes, you did! You said you were the undisputed king of internet tinwhistle journalism, and I beg to differ!

Rush Limbaugh: Who is this nut case?

Walden: Last night on Nightline, I heard you say that no one spoke more Wisely than the EIB Network, and I have it on good authority, Mr. Limbaugh, that YOU are the EIB Network, if such a thing even exists!

Rush Limbaugh: Well, I’ll have you know…

Walden: Now listen, Rush! Only Dale Wisely is the King of Internet Tinwhistle Journalism! And YOU, sir, are no Dale Wisely!

Rush Limbaugh: I don’t get what this has to do with three fish? Are you some kind of animal rights whack job?

Walden: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANIMALS OR FISH! Just, don’t claim to be King of Internet Tinwhistle Journalism! Dale is to be undisputed in that arena!

Rush Limbaugh: Are you talking about that Feminazi …

Walden: WHAT?! Dale is not a Feminazi! He is the respected leader of Chiff and Fipple! He could outhost…

Rush Limbaugh: Excuse me, caller! We have to go to break now, could you hold on?

Walden: I will not hold on. Just admit that Dale Wisely is the Undisputed King of Internet Tinwhistle Journalism!

Rush Limbaugh: Okay. You get no argument from me… We gotta start screening these liberal callers better.

You know, on a semi-serious note, I wish I knew more details about Rush Limbaugh’s going deaf and then getting cochlear implants. I’m told by people who work in that field that his return to the hearing world happened WAY faster than is typical. Has anyone ever seen an article on the Internet about that deal?

I havn’t read any articles on it but I listen to rush every day. He said his results were much better than the doctors had expected. It is interesting that they only did one ear because the results from the other could be completely different and it would be very difficult to hear with two seperate imputs coming in. It is also crazy that the things have to sometimes be re programmed. Even with all his progress he still has to have the calls captioned so he can catch everything.

No wonder he was so incoherent when I called him!

Even though I’m only deaf in one ear, I still often put the captions on the TV. My good ear tends to get overwhelmed and my brain can’t process what I’m watching on TV if it is also trying to process the dishwasher, the air conditioner kicking on, the kids playing or any other tiny little noise. The captioning really helps.

And I often don’t understand what someone is saying. I just don’t catch it all. My husband has gotten pretty good at recognizing the expression on my face and swiftly repeating what he or anyone else has just said.
