clean fun, news, traffic reports and entertainment to get your day started! E-mail us here.
Here are some of the most requested items that we've done on the KyXy Morning Show. Enjoy & feel free to share with your friends. FROM THE "YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME" DEPARTMENT Baby Beer Bottles? Are you people nuts? A company called Baby Beer Bottles, Inc. is being sued by
Anheuser-Busch (and rightly so) for copyright infringement because of their product that closely resembles
a Bud beer bottle--WITH A NIPPLE--for infants! But at least the baby beer bottle has a disclaimer
on it..."not meant to encourage underage drinking." Phew! I guess it's OK then as long as the baby reads
the disclaimer before using the product. Here, see for yourself.
SANDRA BULLOCK WINS BEST ACTRESS & HOLLYWOOD'S CLASSIEST ACT!

FAMOUS...BUT UNKNOWN Celebrities endorse a myriad of products and consumers make purchases based on these
endorsements. But what about the unknowns who endorse products? Or better yet, the unseen?
Well, unseen except for their hands. That's right, hand models are stars in their own right. If you don't
believe us then perhaps you recall George Costanza (Seinfeld) and his brief escapade as a hand model.

KIDS and CURSIVE
Seems like more and more schools are devoting less and less time to our kids learning cursive penmanship. More time is being spent on printing, typing or "keyboarding" as its now known.
Is handwriting a lost art? And should schools do away with it completely? Or should our kids be taught penmanship and cursive handwriting? We thought it would be fun to try and determine which of these handwriting samples match up with our KyXy DJ's. There are six samples. Your task is to guess which sample was written by which DJ. Just for fun, send an email with your guesses to: morningshow@kyxy.com.
Guess the handwriting:

Tan-Thru Swimsuit
The Tan Through range from Kiniki – launched earlier this month is transparent when held up to the light.
Thousands of microscopic holes in the mesh fabric allow 80 per cent of sunlight to penetrate through to the skin. However the garment is covered in 'magic eye'-style animal prints and abstract patterns which confuse the eye so onlookers can only see a solid block of fabric.
Described as "a chicken wire mesh material" the stretchy synthetic fabric is available as all-in-one swimsuit, bikinis, wraps and men's briefs, tangas and hipsters.
A swimsuit bought direct from the company's website costs £34.30 while all other items are £17.43.
However health campaigners warned that the garments could contribute to already increasing cases of skin cancer.
A spokesman for the British Skin Foundation said sunbathers should take a responsible attitude
He said: "Although this may sound like an attractive idea to many people looking to get a tan this summer, the fact that it lets through 80 per cent of sunlight should be the worrying factor. This will mean that people can still damage their skin from UV light, as seemingly the swimsuit will not offer any type of cover to the skin.
Kiniki owner John Walker, 58, who has been manufacturing underwear and swimwear for over 35 years, said the company warned customers to be extra vigilant when sunbathing. He said: "They are selling like hot cakes. We only officially launched four weeks ago but we cannot keep up with demand at the moment. We have a disclaimer saying customers have to put on a sensible level of sun block. We recommend that you put the same sun protection on underneath the swimsuit as you would on the exposed parts of your body. Customers have to be responsible because the fabric does let the light straight through."

Host Loses It
Here's a little insight as to how we react on the KyXy Morning Show when we don't receive any callers for our on-air contests. Watch how this Romanian TV Host reacts.
Does This Cat Need a License to Drive a Roomba?
A Shrimp Works Out on a Treadmill...Really!
Scientists have put a shrimp on a tiny treadmill to examine how far the crustaceans travel for food. The treadmill, which was built in a tank of water, enabled researchers to measure the activity levels of a "jogging" shrimp. Scientists found the four inch long shrimp could move at speeds of 66 feet per minute and that it was able to continue for three hours before needing a rest. Professor David Scholnick, of the PacificUniversity in Oregon, one of the scientists involved, said they wanted to compare the performance of a sick shrimp with that of a healthy one.

Snake Slithers Up Weather Guy's Shorts...oh my!
From our affiliate in Des Moines, Iowa, weatherman Kurtis Gertz was reporting from
the Iowa State Fair and doing the cute stuff that weather guy's tend to do. This time
he thought it would be fun to wear a ten foot python around his neck. I think the
python had a thing for him. Watch what happens.

Incredible Sports Story
Some might say playing sports is all about the winning. And yes, that's true to a certain degree. But this story about a marginal college softball player--a senior--playing in one of the final games of her college career is an amazing study in sportsmanship and respect. If you view only one video today make it this one.
Mullet Boy
It is with pride that 3-year old Brady Arneson accepted his award as sporting the Most Outstanding and Best Mullet. Yes, many have tried but few have actually gone the distance with their mullet. We are so proud. Watch out Billy Ray Cyrus!
KyXy Morning Show Doggie in Car Seat
Sonny's Catnip Car
When discussing the new "pet" legislation with Marianne Kushi and Jason Austel from NBC 7/39 it was determined that, yes, pets should be restrained when riding in cars and not sitting on their master's lap. It's for the pet's safety, the safety of the driver, AND our safety. What happens if Fluffy or Fido decides to take a swipe at the driver and he/she loses control of the car (like it happened in Modesto over the weekend), veers across the highway and hits MY car. Not a good thing. So maybe Sonny's idea for a Cat Car is not that far off. Fluffy could ride on the outside of the car and be quite content if you own a Catnip Car as depicted below. Yes think of how mellow Puss n' Boots would be traveling down the highway at 65 mph and nestling his cute little furry face over every inch of your car covered in catnip!

NBC 7/39 News Anchor is child star...
That's right. Sonny & Susan have discovered the hidden talents of NBC 7/39 news reporter and anchor Steven Luke. Mega Star! Watch his national tv commercial from the 80's and judge for yourself. (By the way, he's the cute kid that says "Wow!")
KyXy Morning Show "Lite" Show
Oh sure, big deal. Some guy decorates his house with thousands of Christmas lights and synchronizes them to a Trans Siberian Orchestra track. Well, the KyXy Morning Show can "one-up" that with this high-tech holiday light show that is darn-near underwhelmingly pathetic...but it uses the the same Trans Siberian Orchestra song "Wizards In Winter." Prepare to be amazed! (We're amazed it's actually on our web page.)
Arnold Can't Flip
Was our own Sonny West the only person in the Western World to uncover this little tidbit...California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger cannot or does not know how to flip a coin? Come on! The Governator? Arnold was giving the honor of the opening coin flip. We've slowed it down so you can actually see that the coin never even turns over once in mid-air. I guess some can flip the bird, some can flip a pancake but not everyone can flip a coin.
Bird Dances to Backstreet Boys
Check out snowball the cockatoo dancing and grooving to the song "Everybody" by the Backstreet Boys. Quick! Someone call Dancing with the Stars.
Baseball fans...you'll love this!
If you're a baseball fan like Sonny is, then you are going to love this video. Swing here. What's Happenin'?
Do you want to know what's happening in your/our world right now? Then you have to click here. This is really cool. Check it out! In life we must make many choices. Some are rather significant, others minor. But these life choices are never simple. They involve much thought and consideration. The importance of the initial decision should always be examined over the long run. Memories made and cherished are sure to be tempered along the way. Consider these following two life choices:
SHOULD I GET A DOG?
OR HAVE KIDS?
"I LIKE TURTLES!"
Ya' gotta love this "zombie" kid who just got his face painted at a street faire when some TV reporter attacks him and fires a question at him. Seems he just came from a turtle exhibit and he was still pretty-darn stoked about the shelled creatures. He is getting his 15 minutes of fame from this little taped piece.
