84. The "HSP" sounds familiar.

I know their corporate flunky had this phrase he kept repeating and all the other muckety-mucks used: "Crazy Quilt Programming" as if program-variety was a bad thing! I basically got myself banned from the local Pacifica station for going up against them once too often. Actually, I was physically barred from the station by the station manager at the time. It became a badge of honor among the rest of us that had been or were getting banned

Re the fruitcake bit? Well, Jim would have liked that, too

Their apricot-pecan cake is indeed quite tasty
