It was the personal satisfaction of being able to vent in that way that made it worth doing if the person on the other end was being an a$$hole.

Uhhh, I may or may not have stored dried flowers in those . . .

I wrote that in my first reply about them, and then thought maybe I was weird for doing that, so I went for the other use for them.

When few co-workers asked you what your favorite movie as a kid was and nobody has a clue and had to google it.

Man, I haven't thought of that in years

I remember listening to some mystery shows on the radio while dad was driving
his 1949 Ford home from somewhere in the valley. It was dark, which seemed
to amplify the clever sound effects of the detective mystery. Squeaky brakes,
slamming doors, etc. Really great for anyone’s imagination. I was about 6
years old at the time.

For me it was on Sunday nights at 9:00 on KUPD. I was looking for the station identifier more apropos for the time, but no dice. Just ignore the corporate sponsorship…

They could if you banged the received on the desk a couple of times before slamming it down in the cradle....

I will say I’m not interested in long distance highway driving at night. Too much road construction and I really hate driving through construction in the dark.

Sirius XM was running Dr. Demento up until 2005.

WMMR in Philly was the go-to station for progressive rock for me. "The Marconi Experiment" was one leading-edge show they ran late at night.
