Bozone Moments

[Captain Beyond]

What you ask is a Bozone moment? When someone does or says something really dumb, stupid, or just plain ignorant.

Here is the official definition:Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.

The tems Bozone is a "sniglet" invented by Rich Hall of Saturday Night Live fame.

1. During Friday Night Open Lines Coast show, George was speaking about Art Bell regarding the typhoon in the Phillipines. George went on for a few minutes and then said he didn't know if Art would be broadcasting due to the "Typhoids" in the Phillipines. That was a "Bozone Moment".

Post your Bozone Moment or articles here!

I don't know whether this is a Bozone item, but has anyone else noticed that Art always says, "abby-normal" instead of "abnormal"? I always figured it was a private joke between him and Ramona. What do you think? I never heard him give an explanation.

I think he was just letting everyone know that he is a bit hip, or thinks he is as the term was used in the movie, "Young Frankenstein" , a movie by Mel Brooks!

Ho ho. So now we all know who ISN'T hip.

My favorite sniglet was "lacto-mangulation" which is the practice of opening a milk carton from the so-called "illegal" end.

One of my favorites is a conversation I overheard at work a few years ago. This guy was explaining a project we were working on to a vendor over the phone. He was trying to say that we were still developing the idea, and that the project was in it's infancy. Instead he said, "Our project is infantile, we are working on it, but it's infantile."

It still kills me.

"Our project is infantile, we are working on it, but it's infantile."

Sounds like the old "10 dollar concept out of a two dollar mouth" syndrome.

A bonzone statement made frequently by news anchors regarding earthquakes:
It struck without warning.

BRENDS: (Sniglet) Those heels or "crusts" that are always left in the bottom of the package that the bread came in.

1. WILL THE REAL DUMMY PLEASE STAND UP?
AT&T fired President John Walter after nine months, saying he lacked intellectual leadership. He received a $26 million severance package. Perhaps it's not Walter who's lacking intelligence.


2. WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS.
Police in Oakland , CA , spent two hours attempting to subdue a gunman who had barricaded himself inside his home. After firing ten tear gas canisters, officers discovered that the man was standing beside them in the police line, shouting, 'Please come out and give yourself up.'


3. WHAT WAS PLAN B???
An Illinois man, pretending to have a gun, kidnapped a motorist and forced him to drive to two different automated teller machines, wherein the kidnapper proceeded to withdraw money from his own bank accounts!

4. THE GETAWAY!
A man walked into a Topeka , Kansas Kwik Stop and asked for all the money in the cash drawer. Apparently, the take was too small, so he tied up the store clerk and worked the counter himself for three hours until police showed up and grabbed him.


5. DID I SAY THAT???
Police in Los Angeles had good luck with a robbery suspect who just couldn't control himself during a lineup. When detectives asked each man in the lineup to repeat the words: 'Give me all your money or I'll shoot', the man shouted, 'that's not what I said!'

6. ARE WE COMMUNICATING???
A man spoke frantically into the phone: 'My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart'.
'Is this her first child?' the doctor asked. 'No!' the man shouted, 'This is her husband!

7. NOT THE SHARPEST TOOL IN THE SHED!
In Modesto , CA , Steven Richard King was arrested for trying to hold up a Bank of America branch without a weapon. King used a thumb and a finger to simulate a gun. Unfortunately, he failed to keep his hand in his pocket. (hellooooooo)!

8. THE GRAND FINALE!!!
Last summer, down on Lake Isabella (located in the high desert an hour east of Bakersfield , CA ), some folks new to boating were having a problem. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get their brand new 22 foot boat up to speed. It was very sluggish in almost every maneuver, no matter how much power they applied. After about an hour of trying to make it go, they putted into a nearby marina, thinking someone there may be able to tell them what was wrong. A thorough topside check revealed everything in perfect working condition. The engine ran fine, the out-drive went up and down, and the propeller was the correct size and pitch. So, one of the marina guys jumped in the water to check underneath. He came up choking on water, he was laughing so hard.

NOW REMEMBER...THIS IS TRUE.
Under the boat, still strapped securely in place, was the trailer still attached to the boat!
