South Rowan 74ish Reunion 2009 By: Shane K Smith www.ShanesFlyingDiscShow.com Friend’s of the Class of 1974 met at Gary’s BBQ in China Grove, NC for a mini-reunion. This video is unedited and runs approximately 50 minutes.

My friend Renee Pickett teaches Zumba in Lexington, NC and was featured on Fox 8 Fit with Danny Harnden.

My friend Tex Knight entertained some of his friends at his Harley Davidson Shop, 61909. I saw all the cool bikes on a drive by to The Bookstore and had to turn around to ask Tex if I could take some shots. Tex services bikes and even sells used bikes. I was surprised that I can get into a bike for around a thousand bucks. I’m still saving!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnyfxq9OL5E Thursday, 05 March, 2009 Cody has come a log way since the last video I made for her above. She was friendly with my rescue Shepherd Caesar. She let me feed her out of my hand and give her some good scratches. She needs to have a home with owners who can approach slowly and give her time to be friends. A home with no kids will be best.

Since Zia was born I've only seen brief glimpses of my neighbors Brian and Musical Denise. With just a few Corvette sightings I finally saw Brian and Denise in a phone commercial. In the MySpace conversion of the avi file the end photo of Denise saying she preferred Brian's Blue eye's to the contacts he wore in the commercial was cut off. I even loaded it twice and extended the photo duration to 10 seconds. I have to live with this imperfection. http://shanesflyingdiscshow.com/ http://community.myfox8.com/shaneksmith

My top 4 My Fox Stories of the year: In-between the mayhem in most stories are my top 4 people related stories. I renamed the stories adding subtitles and extra sound effects. A Nose For The News! Squeal For Neill! Cluck For Luck! Udderly Ridiculous! I wonder if Shuler ever fixed that chicken! http://community.myfoxwghp.com/blogs/ShaneKSmith/2008/08/12/Squeal_For_Neill_or_Cluck_For_Luck Coming in a close Fourth place is this story about a Special Lady that ran around town in a black and white cow suit exposing her udders. I guess seeing her was a moo-ving experience. You could say she was being udderly ridiculous! Fox ran the story, then the story went national………… Milking the story for all of it’s worth! Tom Britt stole Cindy Farmer’s lines and I stole his. Fox 8 deserves congratulations for 5 Emmy award nominations. http://shanesflyingdiscshow.com/ http://community.myfox8.com/shaneksmith

Charlie Layno is The Techno babble guy for My Fox WGHP TV 8 in The Triad Region of NC. He is keeping us up to date on the upcoming digital transition in February 2008. The Transition makes me wonder if all of our previous attempts to send analog messages into outer space are useless now. Will we keep analog receivers for alien messages alive or destroy them? It also makes me wonder that if we had the proper hardware or software we may have already made contact. I think an evolved form of laser fiber optics will transmit and receive messages in the future. This technology may even enable us to get beamed up and down and all around the universe. What travels faster through space, a laser light or a digital signal? http://shanesflyingdiscshow.com/ http://community.myfox8.com/shaneksmith

Season's Beatings, Happy Howlidays and Merry Christmas to all of my cool friends! Be Naughty, save Santa a Trip! If you are naughty here is the scoop: All you get is Snowman's Poop!

This last weekend I took a trip to the mountains to catch the fall colors. I must have taken the wrong road or visited the wrong mountain. The mountains were as beautiful as ever but this mountain road was different from the rest. The colors remained green. As I cleared the top of the pass I swore I saw Van Denton taking pictures of his family. I thought I’d get out at the bottom of the hill and flag him down for an autograph and to find out why this patch of mountain was different. I filmed his ride down the winding hill. http://shanesflyingdiscshow.com/ http://community.myfox8.com/shaneksmith

Do not watch this video mash-up if you don’t like R Rated stuff! I think it is amazing how both news teams, the morning and evening teams pull these 10 to 12 hour shifts five or six days a week and put on two to five hours of LIVE news all week long. They all have extra-curricular talents after work. The anchors and crew must be dead dog tired but when it is Show Time they shine. Crazy hours must make family life a huge challenge. On top of the pressures to sell the show and always come up with interesting news, there is always some critic that wants to point out every flaw. How do the anchors plow through the scripts without completely laughing crying or getting mad? This last week brought some interesting mash-ups for my funny bone and some huge points for Neill Mcneill and Julie Luck for keeping their cool while people bite off noses, paint Giant Chickens and Squeal like pigs. Sometimes chairs just fall apart! Personally, I may just punch out the touch screen the anchors use that has a mind of it’s own. I am beginning to believe I know what they are thinking before the story comes out. Before The Giant Chicken Caper, I would bet Julie Luck was thinking, “Please Don’t Make Me Read This Story”! Personally I think the Chicken artist did a good job and they didn’t trash the lighted billboard. When the Pig Calling champion comes on with a title “Squeal Like a Pig Girl,” with a Deliverance closing, my imagination goes wild. I had to add some extra sound-effects to the mix. I love it! So I thought after all that pressure all day, all year, I wonder what the crew does to blow off steam. They may go out to a club and join The Kids in The Hall for some fun! However in this Mash-Up there is no escape for the Fox 8 Team.

My friend Bello Nock, http://bellonock.com/, is the most versatile athlete one could ever meet. He is also a very gifted Entertainer and has been voted America’s #1 Clown by Time Magazine. Bello raised the bar for all professional clowns by incorporating his daredevil skills into his act. Even before the demise of James Brown I always said that Bello is the hardest working man in show business. A photographer from CBS in Dallas catches Bello Nock walking The High Wire 100 feet over the Dallas skyline. Bello was surrounded by top notch talent. When you hear Bello say “Nik, I know you can hear me,” he is talking to another famous wire walker, Nik Wallenda. Nik currently partners with Bello in Bello’s amazing design, The Double Wheel of Death. Nik is also a seventh generation Circus Performer from The Flying Wallendas. Nik’s family has endured various tragedies over the years, including a famous 1962 pyramid crash in Detroit which left two performers dead and one paralyzed. Karl Wallenda died in a 1978 fall from the wire in San Juan, Puerto Rico. As Bello completes his walk he tells his family he loves them. He also thanks Kenneth and Nicole Feld,The American Airlines Center, AT&T Center, Victory Plaza, The American Heart Association and most important to Bello Nock, The one and only Jesus Christ.

The profile logo from a noobie blogger on Fox 8’s Blog made me think how much I missed my old Album Collection. http://tinyurl.com/bloginatorintro Real Vinyl actually sounds better on the right system. Half inch tape is close, that’s why it’s a good idea to save your VCRs if nothing else but for using the larger tape size for audio. In the old days I used to allow myself twenty to thirty bucks a week to buy albums. The Album Covers seemed more important then. My excuse for losing all my vinyl is that when I hit the road, I stayed gone for 20 years. On one of my pit stops all of my albums got left behind and never returned. Since I’ve bought each album over two or three times as the new media evolves. However I miss the covers. I get a kick out of The Battle of The Bands, a spoof on album covers coming to life. http://tinyurl.com/albumcoversattack These albums look a lot like my collection. Because I don’t study the album covers anymore I don’t know the musicians names in the bands I listen to now that have hits since the 80’s. http://shanesflyingdiscshow.com/ http://community.myfox8.com/shaneksmith

Nose for the News! Or Nose News is Good News! Coming up next, Fox 8 WGHP TV’s Julie Luck certainly has a nose for the news! Don’t Blow Away! I don’t know how the news team can get through as many stories as they do without having to stop. It’s a tragedy when a woman gets stuck on a toilet for two years and has to be surgically removed by firemen but how can you report that with a straight face? When the lesbian couple from Camp Lickalotta gets thrown out of the camp well what can one say? Julie Luck gets to read about a fight over a bicycle that results in a man losing his nose. Getting ones nose bit off has to be humiliating enough, but here comes The crew with a nose for the news. I am sure I am spelling his name wrong but Ozing’s nose must have been oozing blood! It’s certainly a dilemma when you can’t pick your nose because you can’t find your nose to spite your face to pick it (up off the ground)! You aren’t entirely sure whether your attacker ate your nose or your Dog swallowed your nose! The news crew must have been thinking, You can pick your News but you can’t Pick your Nose!!!!! At the hospital the medics were heard saying: “Whose nose is that?” The reply: “Who knows?” http://tinyurl.com/camplickalotta http://tinyurl.com/2yearsontoilet http://tinyurl.com/nosefornews

The Fox 8 TV WGHP news and Blog team do good for people. They really know how to make viewers become part of the news. The Web Team makes discussing news and current events possible and the TV crew knows how to make a person feel important. I was really impressed 72908 when Van Denton went out of his way to mention Larry Tilley had given him an idea. Van had a subtitle and a new layout for Larry Tilley’s 90 Degree Board and thanked him for the idea. Then the anchors Neill McNeill and Julie Luck went on to mention they wanted a board named after them. Van Denton had time left to mention his Son’s Birthday. I have no idea if Larry Tilley has access to video or not but thought he might like to save the clip. So I made time to cut this for him. http://shanesflyingdiscshow.com/ http://community.myfox8.com/shaneksmith
