I was unaware of that as I personally have pretty well been staying away from radio, the absence of Milt Rosenberg, being a key reason. <br /><br />Here is the apparent home of Milt's show, which is aired noon to 2 p.m. weekdays on WCGO AM 1590<br /><br />I'll definitely check it out. Here also is Milt's website:<br /><br />http://miltrosenberg.com/<br />Chicago Lampoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04156263304836143442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7612367701941502836.post-35492437977745735312015-04-07T12:30:59.426-05:002015-04-07T12:30:59.426-05:00As readers must know, Milt is back on the airwaves...As readers must know, Milt is back on the airwaves as of Monday 6 April 2015. But the afternoon broadcast schedule poses a serious challenge to the drinking game players who either work or simply want to remain lucid during the day. As Milt himself might ask —citing either Lenin or Chernyshevsky— "What is to be done?" [p.s.: Here we have another addition to the game.]BGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09877448842405306599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7612367701941502836.post-38359113147314147232013-02-21T11:59:47.357-06:002013-02-21T11:59:47.357-06:00I would instantly add the word, instantly to the r...I would instantly add the word, instantly to the repertoire of your Uncle Milty's drinking game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7612367701941502836.post-53169720520399012792011-11-27T16:44:31.429-06:002011-11-27T16:44:31.429-06:00Those are excellent additions to the catalogue of ...Those are excellent additions to the catalogue of Miltisms.

I bet they made a mint to write those lines. ;)<br /><br />I haven't played a drinking game since a friend of mine was in college, and that was the only time I think. Quarters or caps or something like that. Sounds like you need to get together with VodkaPundit!

But, in fairness, when you have as much time to fill as he does weekly, you probably have to rely on some default sayings. I really appreciate his programming and am fearful of the day when he will sign off for good. God knows what WGN would come up with to replace him.Chicago Lampoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04156263304836143442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7612367701941502836.post-85390748086655233882011-05-25T10:07:07.190-05:002011-05-25T10:07:07.190-05:00Great posting; you seem to have Milt's show do...Great posting; you seem to have Milt's show down well and you also seem to be quite a drinker. As an avid listener to Extension 720 I have long been aware of the shows quirks. If you're not drinking too much during your game perhaps you can add a shot for every time Milt uses the adverb "utterly" and two shots when he describes a book as "utterly readable".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
