KZOM Zoom 104 1/2 T-shirt

I recently came across a vintage 70s to early 80s soft thin t-shirt with this logo: 
KZOM 
Zoom 104 1/2 

Which led me to this youtube of KZOM's final sign off in 1984, Richard Jones playing The Who's "Rock and Roll Is Here to Stay."

KZOM-FM 104.5 (ZOOM 104 1/2) was an Album-oriented rock radio station that served the Orange/Beaumont/Port Arthur, Texas and Lake Charles, Louisiana areas from 1978-1984.

(Aircheck, Photos and station logos by Larry King)



looked like a pretty cool station. RIP KZOM 104.5.

WTF Wednesday: Santa's Lap, Clams, Tray Table War

Hi Wednesday! Hi WTF!

Again with the strange KFC marketing. Don't get me wrong, I love clams. But?

This went on throughout the 4 hour flight.  I touched the grubby paw with my phone and the grubby paw started flicking its fingers at me.

Hi crochet ballerina.

Flashback to the time in October 1986 when I dressed up as Santa and put a sign saying "Sit on Santa's Lap - $1" on our mailbox. Shockingly, nobody stopped.

 
Short but sweet this week, hopefully next week will be more WTFruitful.

WTF Wednesday: Siamese Twins, Oak Ridge Puppy, Troll Hunting

Greetings, Wednesday! Greetings, WTF!

Let's begin with something I saw on Antiques Roadshow. They were in Charleston and showed an old double-seated chair belonging to Siamese twins attached on the side. The woman was their descendant and said they had 21 children between the two of them. I got this book Chang & Eng in the mail yesterday and cannot wait to read it. 

Next, the Oak Ridge Boys Christmas album. The front is just the boys and a tinsel tree. 

The back is a full family photo, complete with spaniel puppy.



These were a good 2 feet out the back of the van. 

There's a hike around here that goes by some stone ruins that has become a sanctuary for trolls. 



this kind of trolls.



There are other trolls hidden along the trail in tree stumps and who knows where else.

Last but not least, baby boy figurine.

WTF Wednesday: Ashamed Workmen, Fried Chicken, Self Esteem

Hi Wednesday! Hi WTF!

Right off the bat, gold nosed creepster clown:

Where does this leave unapproved workmen?

Forever in love with aerobics records.

I hope they toured the city in those suits.

Happiness is a grown man playing with a baby doll.

Dinner on the ground looks insane.

Give the world a smile. Literally.

Great day for a snorkelfest.

I don't know where to begin with this doll.

You can't just add a "Y" to a word and make it an adjective, that's not how it works. 

Last but not least, step one: stop calling yourself a complete idiot.
