Coffee shops and Terror Alerts

Submitted by Fred Reiss on April 16, 2007 - 10:32pm. ::

I discuss coffee shop counter help and tie that topic into why terror alerts should be color-co-ordinated to make their district (Say, affluent areas should have taupe instead of red alerts.), Then conclude with why I need to be on Public Radio.

I loved the show Fred. Red alert sounds good to me though, makes sure we are all alert :) I visited one of the Canadian pharmacy you mentioned last year and I agree with what you said. ;)

Sullivan's Travels

Fred,

I'm sorry to see you're getting a few slams. I thought the whole point of this contest is to find fresh, non-NPR-ee voices.

As for folks who think humor and laughter aren't important, go rent Preston Sturges' masterpiece "Sullivan's Travels." You might learn something by watching it.

Fred, you made me laugh and I like that. I wish you luck in this contest.

Mary

Wake up call.

You'd be a great morning host. Someone to help wake up too as your driving to work or AT work. Little music in between your segments. Yes... You'd be fun to listen to.

I think there must be a requirement, that each java shop have one of these free spirited individuals on staff at all time. I want to hear more Fred observations. I need a great laugh to get through the usual bad news programs...

I guess it's funny but so

I guess it's funny but so what. If I am going to listen to someone talk I want there to be a point other than one fool just running another down.

Dear Funny But so
Submitted by Fred Reiss on April 18, 2007 - 8:46am.

Mark Twain was funny but so. Jonathan Swift was funny but so. My satiric point is that when people adorn themselves in pericings and tribal wear they automatically limit their career choices. When is the last time you were interviewed for a job, where the HR person had a tear tat on the edge of their right eye and ear peircings the size of beer coasters? I firmly believe funny is always better than earnestly made points, which sound more like a righteous intellectual whine. There was a point, you missed the big picture because you were in the frame.
Thanks for listening

Did it ever occur to you
Submitted by esaldana on April 17, 2007 - 4:13pm.

Did it ever occur to you that your barista is just responding to your negative attitude every morning? You sound like a better fit for AM radio than NPR.

You say negative, I say funny
Submitted by Fred Reiss on April 17, 2007 - 9:21pm.

Dear Fredhead-in-denial
Hey, if you're a white male, wearing dreadlocks, have tribal tattoos, piercings, etc., unless you have money in your family the only way you can make a living is working at a CD store, or as a barrista, a runway model at San Quentin, or playing trombone in a ska band. But I appreciate your comments. It's humor. I'm no more negative than Groucho Marx, or WC Fields.

Finally!! Some different energy!! I love the concept, and find the themes totally relatable. Oh, and the humor is certainly welcome, too. :)

Dear Fredhead--
At last, someone who understands my genius! Are you a program director? Will you hire me? My turn-ons are long walks on private beaches in a gated community--oh, wait, I was channeling a Young Republican who works in Silicon Valley but thinsk he/she is cool because they listen to alternative rock and like "Volver," "Babel," and Jenine Garafalo perfomance films (Yikes!)
Thanks for your support, pass the word.
Fred
