Who stole Lloyd Lindsay Young's naughty pointer?
The weather report just isn't the same since Lloyd Lindsay Young left KERO. Not that there's anything wrong with Melissa Vreeman (who loves all animals, but is particularly fond of cats) or Victoria Houchin (who lists the Padre Hotel as one of her favorite restaurants), but dang it, LLY was just plain fun. When news broke of Lloyd's last day, we checked his wikipedia page and discovered he used a dildo as a pointer during a weathercast. So imagine out consternation today when another search of wikipedia found the noteworthy phallic fact had been removed. Who will act up to this scurrilous instance of thievery and return said dildo to its rightful place? 6 comments from 5 users

Not sure if this has anything to do with the theft of said device, but I did notice a little shakiness in Melissa Vreeman's voice as she spoke this morning.... posted by

The item you refer to was delivered to him while he was working in New York City. If you have any other questions concerning my friend and former colleague I invite you to give me a call at the TV station. posted by

I would much rather look at Melissa Vreeman all day than that kook with the stupid props. posted by

Mike Hart, I am glad to see you standing up for your friend. The fact that LLY's pointer got him in trouble was news to me until I read this blog. Personaly, I have always enjoyed his unorthodox approach to weather reporting and for me his wackiness was at just the right level to be entertaining. Without knowing the facts it sounds as though he may have stepped over the line this time. Too bad. Hopefully he will pop up somewhere. In the meantime, tell him I said "HELLO-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-ooooooo Lloyd! posted by

Hugh, Lloyd wasn't fired, he left for personal reasons involving his family. The *item* that was sent to him never made it on air. I will tell him you said "HELLO-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-oooooooooo" although I don't do it as well as he does. If you're up in the bay area you can still hear him doing weather reports for KGO radio.
