In Tulsa, Oklahoma, radio announcer calling people, playing jokes. You would write in and tell him who you would like to get. Kinda like "punked". Click on a button, on the phone, and then the arrow, to hear some of the calls. They sell CD's of them, some of them are priceless.
One of my favorite sayings was, " Just how big a boy are ya?"
