When Technologies Collide


Remember "People to People" on the local radio where Jim Bob would call up offering his truck camper with broken windows up for trade with anyone who has a refrigerator even if it wasn't working? Well, it has a Facebook group.

I passed through Mineola, TX a few years back on the way to Shreveport and they still had a people to people show on the local radio station. A caller actually had a pair of matched love birds for sale or trade...ahhh the laughter that ensued. Lots of pit bull pups being traded/sold that day as well.

Southeastern Oklahoma has a "tradio". You can get anything from coon traps to mason jars.

It has been years, but I still remember the old farmer caller who was thinning out his flock of chickens. His comment on the radio was that he had an old cock for sale or trade. He stated that he had trouble getting his hands around the old cock, since it was still pretty spry Now that he had a firm grip on it, he was not turning it loose until he received a fair offer for his old cock. I had to pull over to the side of the road and laugh for 15 minutes until my sides hurt.

Remember listing on KBOC and some guy said his wife left and left two dogs and wanted to give them away...sounds like a country song in there somewhere...I believe it would be " I'll get over you when you get out from under him"

OH GREAT! Yet another reason for people in my office to get on that stupid-ass Facebook instead of working!

I miss the nights they let local kids DJ on there. Some kids from Decatur played Slayer!
