The Hour of Slack Episode #1125

"Insane SubGenius Pledge Drive Show"

The station where live Hours of Slack are produced, WCSB Cleveland, had a pledge drive, and we did a HELL of a pledge drive show. However, not all the other stations had pledge drives, and even if they did, none have the same call letters, phone numbers and premiums. YET, some of the rants DO APPLY to your life, station, and station in life -- so this episode consists of some of that donation-grubbing, and lots more of everything else, including koyaanisqatful collages by LeMur and Norel Pref, and some fine Puzzling Evidence.
