Hey, if you guys could do me a REALLY big favor...

post #1 of 65

Help me get a job. Seriously:

http://www.kufo.com/contest/lowlifet...e_voting.shtml

I got fired about 2 months ago. It's a long, sad, overwritten story I have posted at the website in my sig. But I lucked out, the rock station in my city had lost it's producer, and had decided to open up the replacement hiring to it's listeners. Now, I've had a love for dj'ing and music for a long time, and before life and funds got in the way, I'd thought it'd be a career for me. And now the opportunity had come up, and it had come up at a station I liked, on a show I listened to (and called into frequently, even) It came down to 4 finalists, and I was one of them. (www.kufo.com has the other three finalists demos and bios up as well, if you wanna check those out) Now it's voting time. The winner gets a job helping write and produce the show. I had a GREAT trial week back in October, the hosts liked me, I worked my ASS off, and if it's not too much trouble to you guys, could you please click the above link, and click the box next to my name.

It's a foot in the door into the entertainment industry, and that's all I've really wanted for awhile. Even if I know I'm basically gimmicking my way in, as long as I GET in, that's all I need. And I need your help to do that.

Voting is open until this Friday.

Thanks you guys.

Done. Voted twice.

From friends in the industry, I understand radio can be kinda tricky to get into. This looks to be a good in.

Good luck, man.

Only for you Fatboy... I vote 3 times... If only today's election were so easy.

Me finally getting off unemployment is on the line, and I'm STILL more nervous about the presidential election. By a pretty big margin. That thing scares the crap out of me.

Thanks a lot you guys. I REALLY appreciate it.

Voted. Hope you get it Fatboy all the best.

Oh, and don't get too distracted by the cute girl mooning you at the bottom of the page. I had one of my friends on another board tell me he tossed her a vote just for that

Interesting Note: The hosts told us 4 that it was one vote per email address. The site says one vote per person. Kinda the same thing. The hosts also told us voting was to go thru the weekend, and we'd all find out Monday. The site says voting ends on Friday and we find out that day. I'm guessing it's just a website slip-up, but until I check with the hosts tomorrow, no ballot box stuffing, and make sure that vote gets in by Friday

You're up against some pretty stiff competition there, Fatboy but I voted for ya. It took a helluva alot for me not to vote for that chick at the bottom.

You're going to need to learn some important lessons from the ass-lady Fatboy. You may have the talent, knowledge, skill, ambition and personality, but she has half her ass hanging out. Think about it.
post #9 of 65
Done and voted for. For the record, the chubby chick sounds pretty stupid, as does Dizzy. As for the ass girl... meh. A cute ass (which she doesn't live up to the hype) does not a great producer make. We're counting on you FR to bring us the goods. Go forth and do dat shit.
post #10 of 65
I voted for you, Fat Boy. Then I looked at the rest of the site. Looks like one awful radio station. Good luck.
post #11 of 65
Voted.

Good luck, Fatboy.

It's not like they can see it through the radio, though And what am I going to do that's equivalent? No one wants to see MY cottage cheese farm hanging off the small of my back

Thanks three million you guys.

Dittos. You can't see naked ass through your radio.

he was stumped on the first round (the hint: Ice T and Henry Rollins... answer: Johnny Neumonic).
Dude! How could you forget that?

Good luck, Fatboy. I voted for ya.

I'm a bit depressed now. no matter what your skills or pure artistic motives, you are always going to get more attention if you show female flesh. I have a band, we are quite good, but i just know we'd get more attention (and more people to our gigs) if we had a sexy lady on bass. i just know because, deep down, i know I'D give more attention to a sexy lady bassist.

sigh.

I never really dug that movie. Wiped it from my mind. I was all "Was Henry Rollins in "Ricochet?" "Surviving the Game?"

What REALLY sucks about that is that I told em about the contest idea (one of five ideas I had) back on wednesday, and we decided we'd go with the movie game after we spent the entire downtime between shows on Wed and Thurs PLAYING the game. And I was actually kicking ass.

and the FIRST ROUND of questions when I go on air--and they hit me with Johnny Mnemonic. The overreaction was pretty funny, though.

We did end up playing the game just for fun, on the air with a lot of callers, for the next two hours. So it was pretty successful. It really is an addictive game.

I voted and got five pretend friends to vote. When will my free iPod be shipped to me?

It's a free nintendo DS now. The Ipod thing is done. Old hat.

Sounds good. Do you want my address now or closer to release of the system?
post #22 of 65
I got confused and voted for Pat Buchanan by mistake.
post #23 of 65
Voted twice bud. Two different, real emails. I will expect my free concert tix as soon as you are in office.

This sounded like the "Win Stuttering John's Job" on the Stern show. It seems like a pretty cool place to hang out and pretend to work while you are really posting on the CHUD message boards.

Thanks you guys.

Yeah, this is basically a "Win John's Job" ripoff, but with a lesser reward. They're giving away a car if you win--but the car is a 91 Cadillac that needs a new head gasket and is only running on 5 of 8 cylinders. I get a job, though, and that's ALL I'm worried about.. but you are right--it's a fun place to pretend to work. For the last hour and a half of the show, pretty much all anyone really does is read magazines and goof off on the internet. By the time 5:30 rolls around, most everything is already cued up and punched in, it's just a matter of hitting play.

Whatever happened with that? Did everyone get their iPods? Because I got yelled at for doubting the system.

From what I understand, it was legit. People got their iPods.
post #27 of 65
Two votes thrown your way.
post #28 of 65
I have multiple e-mail addresses so three votes thrown your way. And yeah, the ass may take it. Can you change your photo and put a cute girl in there?
post #29 of 65
One from me (actually, I just dropped by to see some chick drop trow but voted for you while I was at it). Good luck.
post #30 of 65
I voted for you, Lord of all that is Star Wars.

But now...you must do something for me. If you win, you must order the DJs to play "One Night in Bangkok" every other hour until June 6th 2006.

Together we can unearth the Dark One.

Well, there's a picture of ME with my ass showing, but they don't want to put that on the site, for obvious reasons

Thanks again, you guys. They updated the site--Voting is until Sunday, not Friday. One vote per email address.
post #32 of 65
Boy this election stuff has reached fever pitch! I voted fer ya big guy... with the understanding that we now have an understanding. You understand? If you do please get back to me and explain it.

Fatboy in '04!

Thanks you guys.

I just called in to the show real quick--and the word is create as MANY multiple emails as you want, stuff the hell out of the ballot box if you so choose. They're cool with it.
post #37 of 65
Consider yourself voted for, sir. And good luck.
post #38 of 65
You realize of course that after you get the job you have to mention CHUD on the air daily, right?
post #39 of 65
Don't worry, Fatboy's a smart guy.

He knows we now own him...
post #40 of 65
I voted for you too, only once though 'cause of lazyness and the fact that I don't really know you. I do know the station though. I listened to it for most of my teenage years and whenever I go back to the area. I live about an hour and a half away now, and I like the station down here better, thank you very much.
post #41 of 65
Done and good luck!

I vouch for Fatboy. He's a good egg. Now if I could get someone to vouch for me, then you'd be sold.
post #43 of 65
Voted. Good luck, man.

If you win, going against a chick in a thong, you are indeed worthy of the job.
post #44 of 65
Done, and done.
post #45 of 65
What a great, positive thread! I hope my vote helps. Good luck, Mr. Roberts!

I hear it can make a hard man humble.
post #48 of 65
Gave you 2 votes, guy...good luck

post #49 of 65
So, what happened? Have the votes been tallied, or are there still people voting?
