During last Sunday's morning newscast, toward the end of the show, and during a commercial break, Rob Weller and I began chatting about different kinds of cars. The car show coming to town, started that conversation. Rob said, “I wish I had a woody.” Bob the floor director knew exactly what he was talking about. I had no clue. So I asked, “What’s a woody?” At that specific moment, we came back on air. Yikes! I was horrified that our viewers (one or two) might have heard me ask that question and wonder what the heck did she just ask??? Well, to my relief, Saul, the pro that he is, had my mic off during that question. After that incident, a colleague sent me the following lists. Enjoy:

(By the way, a woody is an old station wagon with wood panels on the sides.)

TEN THINGS THAT SOUND DIRTY AT THE OFFICE BUT AREN'T:
10. I need to whip it out by 5.
9. Mind if I use your laptop?
8. Just stick it in my box.
7. If I have to lick one more, I'll gag!
6. I want it on my desk, NOW!!!
5. Hmmmmmm... I think it's out of fluid!
4. My equipment is so old, it takes forever to finish.
3. It's an entry-level position.
2. When do you think you'll be getting off today?

1. It's not fair, I do all the work while he just sits there!

TOP TEN THINGS THAT SOUND DIRTY IN LAW BUT AREN'T

3. Can you get him to drop his suit?
2. The judge gave her the stiffest one he could.

This is honestly a very sad post, ranking next to Dorothy Lucey's old sex blog posts. There are far more important things to report on like for instance since we are talking sex, like starving people in Hollywood turning to prostitution because that lousy industry has no mechanism for providing employment, or beautiful women and handsome men turning to pornography, because the execs in the studios are so greedy while being mainly a big bunch of entertainment hypocrites that the have runaway production so people go to the other Hollywood on their backs! Now there are a couple of serious blog stories worth posting.

i think it's a pretty funny list. it made me laugh. i'm in shock that gina didn't know what a woody was. kinda reminds me of my x not knowing what a stiffy was. but a stiffy is exactly what you think it is. she just never heard the term before. i just think it sounds cleaner then hard on, or any other terms.

so gina what are you planning on being for halloween? just wondering.

Hi Samo,
I certainly know the meaning of that phrase in a sexual context. But remember, Rob and I were talking about cars. A woody---is an old wagon with wood panels.
I Learn something knew everyday! :-)
RE: Oct. 31st...
I'm gonna be off trick-a-treating with a whole bunch of kids! It should be a lot of fun. But I have to say, it seems like every year, less and less kids are out trick a treating. I guess it's safer not to...but kinda sad that such an old tradition is dying.

Samo,
Good idea on the car wash to raise money for charity.
Maybe sometime soon.
I'm actually gonna be running the Long Beach marathon Sunday Oct. 14, to raise money for The Good News Foundation. It's like the biggest challenge of my life running 26.2 miles! I'm not really all that into fitness. But I promised I would do it...so wish me luck!

Gina, don't run a marathon. you do not need the aggravation. Please show up on tv with Weller and let Murphy give the remote. Marathons and tri-atholons are absurd. Bail on whatever promise you made. Just tell them better judgment now prevails.

Thank you all for responding.
Hi Sebar,
First, thanks for the nice comments. Second, I'm sorry you found the blog offensive--not my intention. I'll tell you what, I'll steer clear from similar subject matters on my next post. :-)

Al, I know you're 100% correct about the marathon. But I'm just one week away--gotta go through w/it. I've also collected quite an amount of money for charity. One of friends warns: "don't you know what happens at the end those marathons...people pass out, puke and lose all bodily functions..it's disgusting." Wow, can it be that bad?? Just in case AL, should I take diapers?? JUST KIDDING! I'm gonna take it sooo slow...I'll probably be the last one crossing the finish line.

Samo, the Sunday morning news usually covers the Long Beach Marathon. If they do I'll probably be doing a quick live interview before the race starts. Come by the truck w/your friend. Maybe we can finally meet in person and your friend can explain on tv why she's doing the marathon.

Hi Jeano,
Where can I check out your artwork? I really enjoyed the last one I saw. You guys should all check out Jeano's work. It's awesome! Thanks for watching on Sunday mornings. Hey, why don't you send me some of your work to the station and Rob and I can show some of it on Sunday morning?

Jamesryan....
I used to like that Woody on Cheers. :)

And finally but NOT least, BEEP, BEEP...
Long time no blog...what the heck have you been up to?

Gina,

I'm in the gym most of the afternoon at one of the local clubs. Been doing this for a couple of years now. Got over a serious injury with a secondary addiction to pills...If you overcome something like that it makes everything else easy.

There is a new job for a secuity director at one of the school districts up here...do you think I should apply?

Ddain,
You're a trouble maker! :) Yes, when it comes to work, I'm totally serious....away from that, I'm silly, goofy and just out for some laughs. :-)

Well Ddain,
I do feel there's much more freedom to be myself during a webcast. Once during a regular newscast (a long time ago), I showed a little too much personality and I was asked by the producer to "settle down". So, along the way, I've learned to shift gears in life. I can be really nice and a lot of fun...but if I ever knock on your door and I have a camera w/me...you've probably done something wrong. And that's when you'll see the OTHER SIDE of Gina.

Jeano,
I really liked your Halloween outfit from last year. Muy guapo!
This year, maybe you should go the opposite of the mild mannered man/reporter. How about a luchador with a wild mask? I don't know, maybe I've seen Nacho Libre too many times. :-)
Thanks on the good wishes for the marathon. I have to admit, I'm quite worried about it. I'll let you know how it goes.
Gina

Beep Beep,
I'm glad you've recovered from addiction and on the right track. Re: the job. If it's something you'd enjoy...ABSOLUTELY apply for the job. What do you have to lose?

Yeah it is a problem in the national media entertainment industries including the lousy East Coast publisher sellouts too, so I don't just take whacks at the tinselturds, I take whacks at the Ive league whack job shysters as well!

As far as a woody goes, yeah I remembered that and actually when Gina mentioned that before I read on, I knew exactly what she meant being a 60's person myself. In fact the original Mod Squad TV series the kid Pete had a old woody before it got totalled in the show.

oh hell yeah gina, you should be nacho. i would kill to see that. but you gotta pick the right "strechy pants". it's all about the strechy pants. as for you knocking on my door with a camera. hmmm, give me a call before you show up so i can clean up a bit, and try to look my best. i don't want to be on tv in my boxers and my hair all messed up. lol.

hmm, just thinking now. gina over at my place with a camera, and showing the other side of her personality. sounds dirty or what? lol. crazy gina.

On any given night or morning, you might catch me doing everything from consumer/investigative reporting, anchoring, entertainment, weather, even sports (not my favorite). On the weekends, I can also be found washing the news trucks. :-) O.K. that's not true, but that's probably my next assignment! If you have any story ideas or would like me to look into a situation you feel may be unjust, please let me know by commenting on my blog!
