…and I have absolutely no scores to prove for it! (See the results of number 74 for the whole story–in essence, my data is all backed up and secure while my iBook is in for service, and I’m not keen on messing with any of it.)
The FIRST crowd was respectful and came to attention as Billfred belted out the National Anthem, but when he got to the second verse and started “scat” singing they went back to what they were doing.
Due to the sleep deprevation and his imense hunger, Billfred tries to consume the announcer mic, only to have it pulled out from his lower intestine by Dee.
“OK, the winner of this round is the green alliance! They stacked more green tetras than the bluuuee…wait a minute…green?! GREEN!!! Who’s the wise guy?! Hold on a minute folks while I try to find the REAL score sheets.”
“ok this sheet of paper is telling me to tell you all something about some kind of winners but im not sure if i want to tell so should i tell but i dont want to so that you all can wait till after i get ready which will be in a long time because im thinking of not telling but i dont know if i want to…!!!”
Billfred:
and while the judges work on the final score, i am going to read all 18,000 posts in the “this or that” section of CD ok number 1, posted by Brandon martus on december 12 2003 "vB2 … or vB3?.. number 2 “Clark Gilbert responded…”
This was overheard during Billfred’s “unique” rendering of the Star Spangled Banner.
GREG: I talked to Raider Robotics and they said they can eliminate him for 50% off the standard fee and I think you can get them down to 25% before he gets to the last stanza.
25 do i hear 25 30 down in front can i get 40 do i hear 40…50 going for 50 going once twice sold to the man in back…you can pick up you tetra at the front desk.
Entry 1-“I wonder if I can steal that guy’s coffee and escape notice.”
Entry 2- “Ooh, I can see the future in that guy’s bald spot”
/not an entry- that guy right in front of Billfred actually has coffee -not an entry/
Billfred (Michael Buffer Voice)- “And in this corner weighing in at a whopping 122lbs team ummm errr what was that number again? Oh well, LETS GET READY TO RUMMMMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!”
Before I announce the match results, I will announce the Caption Contest results. Hang on…Wait…Wrong sheet, that’s the highest score so far…Oh, never mind…Finally, the score for that last match, not that anyone else is awake…
“you never close your eyes any more
when I kiss your lips
and theres no tenderness like before
in your fingertips…”
[thinks to self] this would probabally be more romantic if I memorized the lyrics!
After doing his rendition of the Star Spangle Banner, Billfred started receiving requests like: “Sit down” and “Stop singing” and “Don’t give up your day job”.
As every good announcer/DJ knows, keep reading the copy even if no one is paying attention. It is what makes radio great! (Or give a DJ a mic and you will have to pry it from his cold, lifeless hands to get it back.)
