This seemed like a fun idea. I am sure Mudcatters could, and have been, very creative about it, take a look and see what you think: NPR-Short List.

In short ('scuse the pun) write up a list about something, your dog, cat, tending bar, etc. and do not reveal what it is about until the last line. There are examples online. If you do one that you really like, you can call them and record it, has to be 60 seconds or less, and they may include you on the air. I think we could just have fun with it here.

Go right

And, I am there...

Yes, we do.

No, but you can get them at the bookstore.

No, but we'll take check.

There's no guarantee, but usually about —— days.

Twice a day: once at around noon, and again at four o'clock.

They come in sheets of twenty for seven dollars and forty cents, or in rolls of a hundred for thirty-seven dollars—but I can sell you any number you want.
