Man thanks Dew. Best part of not being there is the morning show!

And to all those who will be able to go, enjoy, you lucky son of a gun.

(I guess that expression is no longer politically correct..not sure where it even came from)

I use this address:

http://stream.capitalotb.com

It is hit and miss. They do have other links on the web site. Often if one doesn't work, another might.

wikipedia spydee...wikipedia I missed this on Mythbusters

The phrase potentially has its origin in a Royal Navy requirement that pregnant women aboard naval vessels give birth in the space between the broadside guns, in order to keep the gangways and crew decks clear.[4] Admiral William Henry Smyth wrote in his 1867 book, The Sailor's Word-Book: "Son of a gun, an epithet conveying contempt in a slight degree, and originally applied to boys born afloat, when women were permitted to accompany their husbands to sea; one admiral declared he literally was thus cradled, under the breast of a gun-carriage."[5]

Alternatively, historian Brian Downing proposes that the phrase "son of a gun" originated from feudal knights' disdain for newly developed firearms and those who wielded them.[6] An American urban myth also proposes that the saying originated in a story reported in the October 7, 1864 The American Medical Weekly about a woman impregnated by a bullet that went through a soldier's scrotum and into her abdomen. The story about the woman was a joke written by Dr. Legrand G. Capers; some people who read the weekly failed to realize that the story was a joke and reported it as true.[7] This myth was the subject of an episode of the television show MythBusters, in which experiments showed the story implausible.[8]

and they are all lucky sonofaguns!!!!
