Thanks for all the submissions folks, they are all good. My yahoo inbox is about to explode now, but if anyone else would like to submit some samples, what I now need is some different phrases, but I’m a little stuck for ideas… ---

Well done! As we’re in the middle of unpacking after a move, I doubt there is any way I’ll find a microphone. I’ve done a bit of radio, way back when, and I’m told I have quite the voice for it. ---

My microphone sucks ass, but when I get back from vacation I’ll give it a shot if that isn’t too late. When is your deadline? I’ve been told I have a highly irritating voice, so I won’t be offended if you say AAHH!!! and delete it right away. ---

I’d like to give it a try; unfortunately, I’ll have to wait until tomorrow. May I? ---

Well, just about scratch that—everyone will be home tomorrow, and I’d rather wait 'til everyone’s out in case I’m loud. Plus, **dan** and **jjimm** sound killer anyway. Pending the deadline and/or my being sufficiently quiet, I might be able to participate. I’ll think of some new phrases as well. ---
