When the Radio Happy Hour debuted last month on BlogTalkRadio nobody could have predicted the popularity of one of our regular callers.

Just as “Family Matters” was never intended to be all about Steve Urkel, we never meant to make Phil from Minnesota a star. But, you know what? We gotta give the audience what they want–And what they want is more Phil.

So, let’s learn more about this entertaining, intriguing and compelling accidental radio star.

Name: Phil

Hometown: Down South close enough for Rock n’ Roll.

Profession: Retired Truck Driver

Favorite alcoholic beverage: Southern Comfort Straight not even on the Rocks.

Favorite Rock ‘n Roll Band: Creedence Clearwater Revival

Favorite TV Show: “Hogan’s Heroes”

Favorite Movie: Clint Eastwood in – The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Favorite Food: Cajun Chicken

Where is the weirdest place where you have ever made whoopee? In an Elevator – She was very kinky

Ginger or Maryann? Maryann of course

Laverne or Shirley? If I had to pick of one, I guess it would be Shirley, but they’re both a bit whaco.

Well, thank you Phil. Hopefully this will help satisfy your ever growing fan base until the next time you call into Dr. Blogstein’s Radio Happy Hour.

Happy New Year, everyone! I’m back and thank goodness for that. Boy did I pick an eventful week to be away from this site. I missed out on so much!

The whole Saddam hanging thing just snuck up on us. They didn’t waste any time killing the old guy. It was like how an NFL team lines up and snaps the ball real fast after a bad call by the ref so that they get a play off before the other coach has time to throw the red flag to challenge the call. (Wow, that was a long, drawn out analogy.)

It’s too bad I wasn’t around for the Saddam hanging. I would have titled my post “Well Hung” and maybe came up with the idea of bringing Saddam to Times Square and have him drop at the stroke of midnight. Speaking of stroke, was Dick Clark any better this year? I didn’t see him.

I also missed out on writing about the death of President Gerald Ford. I guess I still have that opportunity since the dude isn’t even buried yet. How many funerals is this guy gonna have? All this pomp and circumstance around Ford makes it easy to forget that Dr. Blogstein has been elected president the same amount of times as Gerald Ford had. Al Gore has us both beat by one.

James Brown died too while I was away. I didn’t really care.

A word to the wise, (you’ll soon realize that this posting is a bit of a stream of consciousness. I have so much bottled up inside after a week off I’m just letting it flow) don’t make your New Year’s resolutions while drunk—especially if “drink less” is one of them. Speaking of which, I was wondering, do alcoholics get hangovers? If not, that would be a check mark in the list of the “pros” of developing that problem.

I’ve got a big 2007 planned for you guys. Some more exclusive interviews, Dr. Blogstein’s Miss Blogger 07 and coming up later this week The Funniest Posts of 2006!

That’s right, Dr. Blogstein is the place where the entire web community is showing off their sense of humor. You’ll get the funniest posts from the entire blogosphere all in one place and that place is here. Just to whet your appetite, here is just one of the hilarious posts that you will see here come Thursday:

“Then a stream of fiery death lava began spraying out, it had the consistency of magma, broken glass, oatmeal and battery acid.”
