Discussion:The Official Freddy & RoyDaleOne "R" discussion

Now the two of you have a place for the skirts, jelly, whipped cream, leather and other such things.

And, I will guess that Fred has his favorite too.

I do appreciate Natalie creating this forum for us. Methinks she would enjoy the elevated positions we like to think of her in. And owning a bike, she should be used to the leather outfits by now as well.

Fred, I think you're confusing bicyclists with motorcyclists.

I am informed that being a loner is not what was intended.

Various positions are open and Fred is thinking about tryouts for them. Fred is thinking that various routines do not have to be planned and going with the flow is what will come out on top. So you need to join in, you never know which one will work for you.

Besides, it will be a whole lot more fun when you get Fred revved up.

Or, maybe some matching attire.

Roy, did you see the cute hula girl outfit?

Of course, everyone knows I like to wear a "skirt"!

Tom

Shorts and a real T-shirt.

http://www.zoogstercostumes.com/landing/fantagirls.php

Yes, on the cute hula girl outfit, however, we know you can get the real thing.

Classes are held on a regular basis although waivers are required as once these classes begin and the inner you starts to come out, there is no reversal process. There is no turning back. you can check in, but you can never check out.

Fanta, hmmmm. Those boots went out of style years ago I believe.

Tom, I can see why you'd like Fiona. If you're only going to buy one, however, it's not really going to boost the stock price. Fred's list is extremely long from what I can gather. (No short lists there, Roy.) So when Fred sets out to get his girls costumes, you can bet it's going to affect the company's bottom line significantly.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanta

And the Fanta girls are world famous, boots and all. Nancy, anyone?

Bottom line, yes, but the campaign fund will need replenishing after the acquisition of the boutique line of clothing for the campaign trial.

I hope you mean "trail," although with Fred involved, it certainly could be a trial.

Look, I am trying to get some atmosphere, campaign colors, and theme going here.

Look, other candidates have great web sites for their stuff.

We'll work on the platform later, that is;

A party platform, also known as a manifesto, is a list of the principles which a political party supports in order to appeal to the general public for the purpose of having said party's candidates voted into office. This often takes the form of a list of support for, or opposition to, controversial topics. Individual topics are often called planks of the platform. Planks of controversy, just what may be needed, to get Fred's show on the road, right after the training (indoctrination) classes.

Now we're getting some where. I had suggested a website and "Freddy" products a while ago. I like the way you get straight to work Roy. We can count on you to get the job done. That Fred, on the other hand, needs to be constantly reminded of his commitments. He is quite forgetful. Maybe that's a plus. I remember Reagan had quite high ratings.

I'll let Fred respond to the platform issues. I know tequila is in there somewhere as well as Hooters Girls.

Natalie, sounds like it is safe to click on the 'outfit' links; I've been afraid to until I was sure I had all my antivirus stuff really up to date and clean backups X three stored offsite.

Maybe I'll take a shot/and HAVE a shot & join the party. See which outfit(s) I think are suitable for the campaign.

RD1 - there were theme suggestions, etc, etc, etc in a previous (degenerative) post. I'll find it, in case you didn't read it, it was during tax season proper.

The Lazy F-T brand, wow, you guys and gals into branding irons?

I recommend:

http://www.lhbrandingirons.com/

Watch the pictures change... experience doing accountants' iron, and they have dehoners too.

Every time Fred finishes a class, we could have a branding graduation, fittings for the campaign outfits. What Else?

A road tour? Trips to Florida, Hawaii, Alaska, oh, the Virgin Islands. I know Fred will go for that one.

and Nats, my dear sweet, lovely, naive, Nats. For the record, a good leader is not a person who does everything themselves and who knows everything. A good leader is one who surrounds themselves with good people who each know something about a specific area. The good leader relies on his entourage/posse/advisors to feed him the information needed to make an intelligent informed tequila induced decision.

Now, with that being said, I have the best staff possibly available. See, you point out these things that need to get done, we discuss it, and then I give you the go ahead to put these things in motion. How is that me being delegate in my duties? If you want to say I am degenerate in my duties, well, that is a compliment as we have determined.

Roy, please take Nats aside and re-indoctrinate her into the ways of FreddyWorld. she means well and it is good to have that goody girl librarian acting persona in the administration, but she also needs to be edjumacted on the real ways things are done. A first hand lesson may be in order. Charge the chocolate sauce to the campaign account.

I do believe that there really is no discussion to be had about appointing you my next in line. That due to Tom's overall lack of true degenerativeness <ha has potential, but methinks he has been married too long>, he needs to be appointed another position within the administration. I feel that over the past few weeks that you have shown the twisted thinking and the innate ability to redirect the rules and regulations to our benefit. This is definitely an excellent quality to have. Also, you will be able to easily step into my shoes and be a fine leader for a time if the tequila induced virgin branding keeps me too occupied in the hooters hot tub to address the masses.

I continue to thank my political machine for the support you have shown and many of you will be thanked individually and en masse when the moment is improper.

Time to do some taxes.

Is Fred's last name Thompson or what?

I was hoping that could until we were, er, booted out of office.

Fred, I can see where a couple of the "staffers" might need to go back to reorientation class and have some intensive training.

I have been researching an arrangement like ""boiler-room girls" who had served Robert Kennedy 1968 presidential campaign. While, Kennedy had a six-pack, the campaign will have to make do with half a six-pack.

Fred, in addition to full-filling my assignment I will keep in mind that once having a backslide, a re-indoctrinate into the ways is necessary.

I will need to schedule a fund raiser, to cover my expenses. I could the wayward ones to come to me. I'll see if the Animal Kingdom is available. The Animal Kingdom has a great caged stage that could be used to show off the variety of talents available to Fred, without endangering the voyeurs or the boiler-room girls.

I'll bet I'll get a good price for the tickets, and I can add $100 per plate dinner after the show which will add to the fund.

To the tune of "Hava Nagila":

"Have a tequila, Have a tequila, Have a tequila Now have some rum...."

Problem is that's about all you can finish of the song after consuming that much alcohol.

Tom

Tom, I like the song. Few words, easy to remember.

Roy, you've done some really good work, but if you're waiting to watch the pictures change on the website, you have too much time on your hands. Wait, actually, I think that's okay. It probably allows the creative juices to flow. As far as the quote above about the bathroom, I think you changed a word or two.

Two more things Roy. Ixnay on the realty show. Fred is a real impromptu kind of person, and we can't have cameras rolling in that kind of situation. Second, I think we need to get you a new keyboard -- yours keeps missing words or something.

Why Nats, what is it that you want me to do <EG>? ROFLMAO

(Excerpt from my new tell all book "Life on the Campaign Trail with Fred"), Heck, I need some recompense, and some pics from the boiler-room girls for the front cover. Pre-orders accepted.

Well, Animal Kingdom was booked, however, Gatorland is available for private parties. I'll check on the Tupperware facilities next. Never know when we will need some mold injection fillings to round things out.

New keyboard? It is just that my fingers are trying to keep up with all the excitement generated by the possibilities of Fred campaign when using the feather touch method I guide over very lightly.

Come on Fred lets get moving.

I am still looking for some planks to build a platform. Suggestions are welcome, as Fred says.

As we all know Fred is a great fan of Grump. Run Forrest Run is one of his favorite lines, so we are taking up the line "Run Fred Run". So, now you know "R" is a call to arms for Fred to Run.

For example, The Lazy F-T brand --- you could suggest some other Brands that would be fitting.

The Running Snake... Not to good, not sure Fred would like that one...

The Running Hooter ... ??

The Chasing One ... ??

I am sure Fred does want me to fulgurate about the campaign.

Mid-life Crisis

AFTER BEING MARRIED FOR 40 YEARS, I TOOK A CAREFUL LOOK AT MY WIFE ONE DAY AND SAID, "HONEY, 40 YEARS AGO WE HAD A CHEAP APARTMENT, A CHEAP CAR, SLEPT ON A SOFA BED AND WATCHED A 10-INCH BLACK AND WHITE TV, BUT I GOT TO SLEEP EVERY NIGHT WITH A HOT 25-YEAR-OLD GAL.

NOW I HAVE A $500,000.00 HOME, A $45,000.00 CAR, NICE BIG BED AND PLASMA SCREEN TV, BUT I'M SLEEPING WITH A 65-YEAR-OLD WOMAN. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU'RE NOT HOLDING UP YOUR SIDE OF THINGS."

MY WIFE IS A VERY REASONABLE WOMAN, SHE TOLD ME TO GO OUT AND FIND A HOT 25-YEAR-OLD GAL, AND SHE WOULD MAKE SURE THAT I WOULD ONCE AGAIN BE LIVING IN A CHEAP APARTMENT, DRIVING A CHEAP CAR, SLEEPING ON A SOFA BED AND WATCHING A 10-INCH BLACK AND WHITE TV.

AREN'T OLDER WOMEN GREAT? THEY REALLY KNOW HOW TO SOLVE A MAN'S MID-LIFE CRISIS

I like campfires. Sure like the ones that students build before a big football game. I can hear the music and see the dancing. Are you suggesting something like that for Fred's campaign stops?

Would that be enough heat?

As for as campfires, those could be used in promotional material. Can you see a picture of Fred camping out with the mountains, or beach, or both in the background, a roaring campfire, the horses tethered, the sun low in the horizon, or a big full moon, a hammock with Fred having smores, and the boiler-room girls sitting by the fire looking at Fred?

I hope you can attend. No RSVP necessary.

And trust me, there will be fireworks before, during and after the show. That is one thing I will be able to promise you.

And Fred, you got me into trouble again with my son. (I didn't even bother explaining what was so funny this time.) Bonfire Belle. Where is she anyway? It seems Action is MIA, too. I like the party idea. Will the campaign funds be used to reimburse airfare?

Planks:

1. Hooters girls in the White House <------ Good service is needed for all the state dinners.

Now, that the planks are started, I am asking for some assistance here. Well, I could write all the planks. You believe that?

Slogan suggestions:

1. Up, up and away <------ Fred will need a balloon to really get into this one. 2. ?

"FYI, one of my clients, an attorney, had the IRS audit him and his PA for 2004. The only issue was reasonable compensation. The PA (S Corp) has about $500,000 net income before shareholder salaries. We settled at $90,000 as a reasonable salary, up from $12,000. Note this level is close to the FICA limit at the time. There was no real attempt to arrive at a reasonable compensation by the IRS. It was my impression once the salary was near or reached the FICA limit the salary was acceptable, and on down the road. It was all about the payroll taxes."

Here is my story. My brother and I own a Florida construction company setup as an S corp. We currently have approx 3.5m in the bank. Our salaries for the past 3 years has been over 80k each. 80% of the 3.5m has been accumulated in 2006, 2007, & 2008. We have been in business for 13 years. We have never taken any distributions that amount to anything maybe 10k a year for 2 or 3 of the 13 years. We need to take distributions to eliminate any creditor exposure should the worst happen. So we are going to take out all but maybe 350k in the form of distributions. Our CPA wants us to raise our salary to at least 150k each to make sure that we pass the IRS reasonable test. I have read a bunch of opinions on this site regarding this matter and it seems to me that the general concensus is that the shareholders salaries, if they are employed in the business, should at least match what the industry average is. The best I can tell from some of the employment websites we are above the industry average pay rates. Your opinion in this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

May I suggest you start another discussion and copy and paste your question there?

I shall be putting in an appearance with 55,000+ of our supporters this saturday at Yankee Stadium. There shall be much campaigning and cavorting there and on the previous night when they will be having a fireworks celebration in honor of our work.

And, where are those slogans?

Fred, Fred, he's our man. If he can't do it, Nat can.

http://www.gatorland.com/

Come take a walk on the wild side with Fred. <-------- Campaign slogan suggestion

Your adventure starts with Fred. <------- Another one.

Win with Fred. <-------- One more.

He got style, He got class, He a winner, and He is Fred. <------- Hot, hot today.

A little help here!!!!

Need more suggestions for planks, slogans, brands, themes, outfits, anything!!!!

Steady Freddy - he's ready! (You are, right Fred?)

I don't have a bus license, and if we can get Nat to find an eco-bus that would be better. I know one of those fuel-cell ones.

Wow - is this a two person deal?

Will be back on campaign trail later.

I really hate it when responsible fred rears his ugly head.

Brands --

The Running Freddy <--- A branding suggestion.

TP <--- A branding suggestion (TP = Tax Professional), maybe The Running TP.

The Freddy that keeps on going -- going -- going. <---- Slogan suggestion.

No more IRS audits. <---- Plank suggestion

Hooters or Dooters in every pot. <----- Plank suggestion. (A dooter is a male hooter.)

Free back rubs for everyone. <----- Another vital plank suggestion.

What kind of uniforms do the dooters wear?

And back rubs -- yes, yes, yes!

And Fred has a "responsible" side. That is really comforting.

Uniforms for Dooters -- suggestions are welcome.

Where is Pierce, Action, BottomLine and everyone else?

1. Support Free Trade

2. Oppose Farm Subsidies

3. Leave Oil Companies and Speculators Alone

4. Tax the Use of Energy

7. Liberalize Drug Policy

8. Raise Funds for to Pay for Public Supported Tax Filings by Professionals

Vote, vote for which ones to include!

I have huge demands on my time until mid-November, so I'll be posting some what limited for a while. Like I have been. <g>

I am sure glad it is not tax season.

Been MIA for a while due to various crisis issues (kinda/sorta forgot that I was supposed to be draining the swamp because of being up to my *ss in alligators situation)

I'll try to catch up to speed next week...

One more plank, RD1

9) Free tequila for all (imported by the skilled immigrants from south of the border?)

To head off those nasty paparazzi rumors, Fred & I have NOT been collaborating during the hiatus from TA. Sounds like similar reasons tho.

Good move honey. Don't tell them anything. Oh, and I enjoyed the weekend too.  ;-)

Fred & I have NOT been col"labor"ating, labor is awful word, I agree. Can we call it something else?

Nice job on col"labor"ate.....I don't like it mainly because I had to look up how to spell it! Good thing I'm good at numbers as my spelling is atroshush awful.

Plank - Ride more Bikes (cyclists have great legs)

http://www.thoseshirts.com/

The photos that are available are great, however, the committee is desirous of photos that will more closely align with Fred's stated positions. So please post them here. Thanks.

As for the Dooters costumes - I kind of like the Roman idea.

Now what are you doing with a Japanese sword, Roy. Is there some Samuri history in your family?

5th Earl of Sutherlin, William the Conquer (1066 and all of that back to about 900AD -- the estimate is 25,000,000 Americans are related to an English king)

Tunics were worn by the Greeks, Romans, and others. However:

The variations of clothing worn in Rome were similar to the clothing worn in Greece at the same time, with the exception of the traditionally Roman toga. Until the 5th century B.C., the toga was unisex and bore no distinction of rank - after that, a female wearing a toga was marked out as a prostitute. The differentiation between rich and poor was made through the quality of the material; the upper-classes wore thin, naturally colored, wool togas while the lower-classes wore coarse material or thin felt. They also differentiated by colours used:

The toga praetextata, with a purple border, worn by male children, and magistrates during official ceremonies.

The toga picta or toga palmata, toga with a gold border used by generals in their triumphs.

Trabea' - toga entirely in purple, worn by statues of gods and emperors.

Saffron toga - worn by augurs, white with a purple band, also worn by consuls on public festivals and equites during a transvectio (You know what the transvectio was?).

I find the toga more appropirate for Fred. Myself I can go with the tunic.

It is easy to get "real" working Japanese swords. "Real" working Roman swords are much harder to find.

Plank - Save energy, bath with someone or in a group. <---- another real winner at least for some people

Plank - Save gas and energy, four day school. < ---- teachers will love this one, a reduction by 25% in putting up with your brats.

Veni, vidi, vici - wonder with part of this Fred is working on? (and no we are not rearranging the order)

Oh, where oh where can Fred be?

With his hair cut short and his beard cut long,

Oh, where oh, can Fred be?

My little Fred always waggles his glass, whenever he wants his drink.

Oh, where oh where can Fred be?

Plank 1 - Four day work week good - three day better Plank 2 - Along with bathing together, I also recommend semi-communal living and also sharing of sleeping quarters. Two or three bodies in a bed will reduce the need to keep the thermostat higher. Planlk 3 - No way Jose, send the kids to school for an extra day. You think I want those sniffling little alien rats under my feet. Those teachers make enough as it is. summers off and all that. Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooo

And again with the short sword comments - that will not get the female vote people. We neeed big large robust swords to use as our phallic symbols.

K, time to do the taxes and the tequila.

We're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside

Behold, behold, the anointed one returnth.

With him he carries Excalibur, the mighty, robust, gigantic sword.

Little, why Fred, that was just a diminutive comment used with poetic license. Anyway an old English sword is better suited for Fred with all its heft.
