     Friday: April 7, 2006  Nerdy Joke Filed under:  Music — site admin @ 11:37 PM UTC   Viking Pundit and others have reported that the French strikers’ slogan is ‘CPE non’. Am I the only one who can’t help thinking that it should be accompanied by ‘JC et WF, oui’ and ‘JS avant tout’? Actually, my policy is ‘CPE et JS oui, JC et WF peut-être’. Perhaps I’m influenced by the fact that local radio station WCPE plays classical music — the initials seem unlikely to be coincidental.

   Comments (1)   1 Comment    I’m waiting for a classical station to promote itself with the slogan “We’ve Got Your Bach.”
