publicradiointernational: nprfreshair: I have absolutely no artistic skills whatsoever, but I think it’d be really hilarious to make some public radio-themed old school Valentine’s Day cards. I’ve come up with these slogans but I’m sure there are better ones: Valentine…you’re like a breath of Fresh Air If I told you how much I loved you, I’d violate Rule 47 CFR Part 73 of the FCC Radio...

I have a strange love of Alf caused by a limited amount of TV watching in my youth but an exceptionally LARGE amount of viewing of Alf. So, this is comforting to me. See more.
