The Greatest Game EVER!

Yeah, I know, it's a video game...
I got this game 6 months ago... and figured I would get
tired of it, and buy a new playstation 3 game to play...
BUT, I Haven't!
Do you play Modern Warfare 2 for PS3?

My online tag is : McKay979X
Original I Know...find me online, we'll blow people
up together.... but NO n00b tubes.

Tiff and Rob

Guess someone was emptying out the digital camera.
Tiff and Rob just sent us these pics of them with Dan Taylor
and Me... from after the 979X Top Secret Show w/ Papa Roach.
That we had... in July.

Better late than never guys...

XGirlfriend

FYI we've got 16 girls for your viewing pleasure here, 1 will
eventually be our Coors Light X Girlfriend and have her
own billboard!

I'm in jail.... i mean. Vacation.

Be back Tuesday 10/27... if they let me out early.

Barcode

Today is the 57th anniversary of the BARCODE!
Celebrate by generating your own barcode.
Then taping it to the back's of co-workers

BARCODE GENERATOR

FINISH LINE!

I told you I would have more pictures from the Ironman 70.3
Here's me @ the finish... yeah, I'm as shocked as you that I finished.

Holy S#*T I finished!

(LEFT Joe Drury with McKay RIGHT, purple really isn't my color)
McKay, a lazy Radio DJ finishes 1/2 Ironman!? 1.2 Mile Swim - 56 Mile Bike - 13.1 Mile Run - 5 hours 23 minutes...PLUS! Over $5,000 raised for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!

Proof I finished # 384... more pictures to come.

McKay is on VACA

I'm on vacation this week, going to try the Ironman 70.3 in New Hampshire.
So i'll either feel like a superhero if I finish.... or cry like a baby.

BMW parked in Handicapped Spot, cont. part #3

OH CRAP!

We found out the person driving the BMW was old....

But, old doesn't = handicapped.

I went outside to confront her, and she kept pointing to an ace bandage on her foot.... and when i asked, "So you're disabled." Her answer was, "My foot hurts, I have trouble walking, ask my boss he said it was ok to park here."

SO, I'll admit, I felt like crap @ first cause I blocked in an "older person", but, that doesn't mean you're allowed to park in the handicapped spot!!

This isn't over...

BMW parked in Handicapped Spot, cont.

Here's where we stand... 979X van Parked behind the offending BMW with a sign on the passanger window that reads, "If you need this van moved, call 1-866-20-Rocks Thanks, Management"

Did I go too far? email me

BMW parked in Handicapped Spot

Here's the car that I was bitching about yesterday. A Black BMW. Parked in the
Handicapped spot for the past two weeks (at least).

They have no disabled ID hanging from the rear view mirror, and no logo on their license plate, yes, I checked.

So I've decided before I go on the air today, to let them know how we feel about them parking in that spot in front of our station.... stay tuned... for more.

Do you .... text?

Want to be in the 979X Rock Lounge tomorrow (7/16) with REV THEORY?
