Two trolls on ham radio, one identified as "G-K," the other as "Robert" or "R-J" overheard accidentally on August 29, 2009, while surfing first responder frequencies during the August 2009 Los Angeles wildfires.
The two men argued with each other about various technical subjects of interest to radio ops, then discussed drugs and past jail time, then notes on an Andy Griffith show marathon, then torture they'd like to perform on each other.
Technical note: sorry about the audible LOLs -- a friend held the scanner in their lap, and I held my iPhone 3Gs above the scanner, using "voice memo" app to record the audio.

The Dichotomy of Distance
This remarkable piece of "found audio" provides deconstructionist theorists with a nearly perfect example of the inherent instability of textual conditioning as exemplified by what I have termed "the dichotomy of distance," a modality established between two connected yet DISconnected figures whose statements to one another form a helix of conjectural meaning based entirely on the interplay of one figure's textual standards with the other's. Interested readers will find my extensive study of this intriguing metasocial construct, "The Dichotomy of Distance and the Problem of the Gasoline-Squirting Dildo" in this quarter's Publications of the Modern Language Association (Summer 2009).
