There are many who look at me in disgust and ridicule the long time progression if ya’ll want to call it progression, or whatever to find the purrfect set of toes for KTOW and our radio media photo ops.
Understand I did not start this. It was not my invention, but hey if it works why not use it? After all how many just in Idaho here have copied our company names? Think of it, Some jerk weed in Malad Idaho copied both Heavy Hooker Wrecker Service, that what we started with, all the way to both Road Resque Towing, to now BlackSheep Towing in Caldwell. Not to let loose here , even some butt maggot in Nampa copied Iron Eagle XPress. Which is one of the many things I like about Utah. In Utah a name of a company when registered for the whopping sum of $30.00 is protected for up to 5 years. All subsidiaries are also name protected for that same time frame. Here in Idaho, its only for two years. Bull shit. What if you shut down to serve military or church duties? I could sue, but what the hell? We keep what we got, shoot the rest.
Any mile so getting back on the right road here.
I caught this foot toe bug back in about I think 1988 somewhere. Saw this ad in the Yellow Pages for Star Garage(since closed) in Ogden Utah that read , we don’t want your arms and legs , just your tows. Okay so that was the ignition point. The entire thing did not catch fyre until 1997 when I was hammering out reports and went to spell tow, but spelled toe, as the e and w on a typical key board are very close to each other its easy to do. My step son Mike suggested using that with the Daisy Duke look gig we ran in our TV ads for the company, in a symbolical kiss on the toes in that we at Dixie Towing just loves tow(e)s.
Fast forward to 1999 , I barely arrived back home in Hazzard sent off to the production department for Overdrive radio that we co produced and ran on KTOW there for some program liners from legendary DJ and Country star Bill Mack. The liners came back voiced wrong, in that KOTW was mis pronounced K – TOW rhyming with cow rather than toe. So a project was engaged to get the idea across to those mentally challenged that the word is TOW, not COW.
Trust me while it looks better in nylon hose etc, and in experience womens feet , mainly their toes smell differently, even the most angelic gals toes do STINK !!! I have no big thrill of putting lips to toes to proliferate the idea.
Now then beyond me, I first spotted the original publication PhooteNotes in the offices of Tony’ Towing in Murray Utah, of course PhooteNotes evolved into TR FootNotes, and so it goes.
Now then, Confederate Star Media is launching in a few weeks a gig for us who tow called Highway Hooker TV, for those who tow. A TV show not like what you see on Lizard Like or Repo, but a true to life towing show, about us who bust butt , 24/7/365 recovering and coming to the rescue of all who drive, at all hours, in all weather.
Kinda like AG/DAY only instead of farming , we focus on towing. Featuring not only lifestyle, but news of the industry, real tow rescue situations , company stories and yes the Respect Tow Truck Drivers project. Showcasing tow shows, towing associations and getting industry manufactures involved. Of course not to be outdone, or overlooked, I’ll be here weekends on KTOW FM 105.3 Buhl Idaho, doing Highway Hooker Radio, the first, the original and only real radio show for and of going towing. And oh yes too I’d be struck down, if I did not mention this it was in 2009, that one of my interns at one of our station studios in Gooding, suggested combining the words toe and tow together to make sure nobody could mistake the word. So tow + toe = TOEW. Thank you Emme.
Now to wrap this up, I wonder how hard it’ll be to get Amanda of the Respect Tow Truck Drivers Project, to photograph HER toes in nylon hose, and send that pic to me to feature in our hot toews contest?
By the way , the web site for Respect Tow Truck Operators is up, likewise the revised Highway Hooker web site will be up by end of the month, between now and then all you good looking ladies out there, want to win $500.00? Send us your best pic of your toes in nylon hose so we can post it on our site and feature on our TV show.
Where to send that can be gleaned by emailing, hwyhooker@hotmail.com and requesting the radio station addy.
Gotta prep for my show tonight, see ya’ll on the flip flop.
Good numbers , we 10-10 on the side.
