how can instantly improve vision not be on the top of their to do list?

Another Brian Regan fan! For those that don't get this, please head on over to http://brianregan.com/ and buy one of each of his CDs and DVDs. You'll thank me later.

I believe the current relative popularity of "boxen" is related to Brian Regan's routine. All of his stuff (just 1 CD and 1 DVD as far as I can tell) is highly recommended.

This is why I give "Funny" modded posts a -3 modifier in my preferences and then browse for comments modded +2 or higher. Not that I don't have a sense of humor.

Additionally, Doug Stanhope has also signed on with Sirius. . . he's appeared on Stern numerous times and there has already been communication between the two about working together creatively.

Interesting, Doug Stanhope doing a similar thing that Jim Norton has been doing on Opie & Anthony for years now. Looking forward to hearing if he brings anything to the table.

3 million new subscribers to Stern isn't unlikely. . . we're talking about a syndicated talk radio host who pioneered the format and has a rabid following.

True but we'll have to see when Stern moves over. He could possibly bring in 3 million. But many people listen to Stern because all you need is a FM radio. When you pay $12/month for a service that you once got for free you expect much more. We'll see if he's up for the task or if he does the same show he does now.

he's still a guy who gets a ton of listeners and does wield a significant amount of influence.

Agreed that he does have a ton of listeners, and does have a large influence.

Stern's numbers not being so hot - that has a lot to do with the FCC's chilling effect on all radio broadcasting

I definitely don't agree about the FCC. I think it's an excuse and cop out by Stern. Instead of putting on an entertaining show he complains about the FCC. Look at Seinfeld (the TV show) and Brian Regan they prove that you can be very entertaining w/o being dirty.

No kidding? I had just assumed that someone had taken up on Brian Regan's pluralizations, like boxen and moosen.

Another of my favorites:
"I before E except after C
and when sounding like A as in neighbor and weigh
or on weekends or holidays or all throughout May
and you'll always be wrong no matter what you say!"

He's a very funny comic. There's a fan site that's worth checking out too.

For those who describe their systems as 'boxen', do you order multiple 'boxen' of corn flakes also?

German!...
Germain!... ...Germain... Jackson!...
Jackson 5!...
Tito!

Yes, *ox is now *oxen in the plural, thanks to Brian Regan.
