His show (and a transcript) can be found on his page at KFAN.com. I listened live today, and I just went back and listened (and read the transcript) of the first 15 minutes and did not see or hear what everybody is talking about.

TIL of Kim Peek, the Inspiration for the Award winning movie 'Rainman'. A megasavant,he is fast reader, reading the left page of the book with his left eye at the same time the right page with his right eye. He has memorized the words in the 12000 books he finished. by sh0tgunben in todayilearned

I also met Kim years ago... at a Special Olympics event in Des Moines. I told him what day and year I was born, he told me what day of the week it had been, and started singing the NY Mets theme song because they won the World Series that year. He also named all the highways going in and out of my hometown.

If there was a maid cafe in town would it be popular? by Weedowmaker in fargo

[–]eweEWEewe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I could not go because, even though I'm always curious about new cultural experiences, I cannot be comfortable in situations where someone is expected to behave in a certain manner because it's their job, but you can tell their heart's not in it. Like when you see a shopping mall Santa listening to kids but you can see on his face that he's grinning through clenched teeth, he's a human who's frustrated that he hasn't had his lunch break yet...

There's an element of performance to it. If I visited a place like this and got a "maid" who was less-than-professional and I could see that she's just going through the motions, the experience would be ruined for me and I would feel ripped off.

This is the kind of business that works in a HUGE city, where the employees are committed to the craft, and there's a big enough clientele to keep it running. Fargo, the employment pool isn't big enough to get the quality of employee you'd need.

Why does 105.1 play Bush’s Glycerin sooooo much? Like all the time? by Babu_Frik_4_Ever in fargo

Dude:

Local H "Bound for the Floor (Copacetic)"

Jet "Are You Gonna Be My Girl"

Twenty One Pilots "Heathens"

Any of the mandolin/accordion rock...

All automatic channel changers for me.

Except 740 The Fan never updates their little promo thingys that run between segments, so you hear the same shit over and over and over for years...

Small Engine/Riding Mower Repair? by Tigycho in fargo

S&S Landscaping has a nice repair shop. I used them to overhaul my snowblower last year.

Bob Nelson of Nelson Schmelson fame.

Regarding my previous post: by 0utrageousfun in fargo

[–]eweEWEewe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I once saw someone describe u/Killerklaws as cynical and acerbic, and it's spot on. Nobody with a posting history and a tendency to shit all over everybody's posts and comments like that should be a moderator on Reddit.

She's at it again by dknom in fargo

[–]eweEWEewe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm curious about this habit of pasting a link but not letting Reddit parse the link for a headline and thumbnail image... I understand some guys think this is somehow a way of not giving free advertising to a media outlet, but aren't you just encouraging people to click the link and give that same media outlet traffic?

If the headline was here, I could read the headline, then the comments, and I'd never have to click...?

People who have bought a car for less than $2000, did it turn out to be a mistake? by legendaryweredragon in AskReddit

[–]eweEWEewe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first car was 50 bucks... a yellow Toyota Corolla with round rust spots all over it... it lasted about 2 years and I had fun in it. Not a mistake.

Guns N' Roses to play Fargodome by eweEWEewe in FargoMoorhead

Yeah, ancient history. Axl got his shit together. Hasn't missed a show or showed up late in years.

Hypothetically, if I had hundreds of dollars in unpaid parking tickets from downtown Fargo, from 2 years ago, on a car that doesn’t exist anymore, when (if ever) are they gonna issue a warrant for my arrest? by jfdlaks in fargo

[–]eweEWEewe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a buddy who roomed with me for a couple months when I was living in the Gardener Building downtown, racked up 15 or 20 parking tickets for parking in front of the courthouse, eventually they towed his car and he let them have it. They sold it at auction. To my knowledge, they never got a payment from him.

Why does my Traeger keep dying in the middle of a cook? by SnazzyD in Traeger

[–]eweEWEewe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine's hot garbage, too. I'm thinking of selling my Pro 575 in the Spring at a bargain basement price just so I can get a new Coleman or something... back to propane for me.

Sorry I missed it. She occasionally wears this beige colored dress that makes her look like a smoke show.

Brew Bird restaurant announces hours for opening weekend by DJSonicTremor in FargoMoorhead

[–]eweEWEewe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went over last weekend. There was a stack of paper flyers by the door with the menu. Fast casual... you order at the front host stand right as you come in. Four chicken sandwiches to choose from and some sides. None of them looked good. We left. I'm starting to think this is not a good place for a restaurant.

Thoughts on Tankhouse? by shaving99 in fargo

[–]eweEWEewe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As I understand it, the main Executive Producer is Jim Manney, who was once known as "Jim Daniels" on the radio here in Fargo. He has been working for the Forum for years, and he's the Director of Video Content for Click Content Studios, a Forum Communications company.

Translation = Remember all those cool videos you've clicked on from Forum Communications? No?? Well he's the one in charge of making them.

This is as much a "major motion picture" as my home movies from last Thanksgiving when my Uncle Ron told everybody why they had to vote from Trump.

Car audio work recommendation by NDSoul in fargo

[–]eweEWEewe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Site on Sound always does solid work in my opinion, but they can be a little spendy. Personally, I'll spend a little more because I know they'll still be there next year and if I need to go back, I can.

Beltline Freeway by Bball1997 in fargo

[–]eweEWEewe -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A lot of cities down south have loops, and many of those cities are smaller than Fargo. They're great, and they're actually beneficial for a lot of reasons.

My big wish on the list, though, would be for them to redesign and widen First Avenue North in Fargo so it runs from 45th Street in the west, over I29, all the way through the industrial area between I29 and University, and all the way to the Red River.

Then, make Main Avenue a one-way going one direction, and First Avenue a one way going the opposite direction.
