Catskill Comedy Show Video, Hunger Strike

Preview For Sunday 121811

Hey folks,



Welcome to the Big Sunday Edition of the OPNTalk Blog, I AM of course your Provocateur of thought himself, Peter Carlock. Glad you stopped by. Before we get to the Idiot Congressman who is joining in the "Hunger Strike" with the Occupy Morons, I wanted to update some of you that were asking about the Photos of somewhere I attended recently, where Hunger was hardly a thought. That's right, the Catskill Comedy Show with Feddie Roman and Dick Capri.

Hunger was not an issue there thanks to TooJays. The VIP lounge was full of GREAT Food and fellowship. We were all there to laugh and have a GREAT time, and that is exactly what we did. Thank you to Rich Stevens, 850 WFTL, The Coral Springs Center for the Arts, and of course, Feddie Roman and Dick Capri.

I tried to post the Video here, but I'm not happy with the way it came out, so to see it the way it should be, go HERE and you can see a 5 Minute Video of the Event. Can you spot me? It really WAS a Great Night.

So coming right up today? We will be spending some time in Pitman, NJ. It is important to understand that just because you may not be willing to accept Truth or Reality, doesn't mean everyone else needs to cater to you. Make sense? It will soon. Coming right up?

All that in just a minute. So, Occupy, well, Good Air, stink it up, abuse Women, Drink, Drug, and cause Property Damage, be a Terrorist, or anything ANTI - Establishment, has become the Time's "Person of the Year." Time is a Joke. I'm surprised that anyone still reads it. But, NYT is still there too. As long as you leave out words like Tea Party, YOU are the "Person of the Year" if you go down and camp out somewhere for "Weed and Chicks." If you have a CLEAR Message, want Smaller Government, and Freedom, then you are to be all but ignored, insulted, and called "astroturf."

Besides all that, no one, not even a lot of the Protesters, even know why they are there. Their list of Demands are a Joke, and NO ONE CARES, why they are making Jack Asses of themselves. That is the truth folks. No one cares.

So gone are the days that he could ride the coat tails of "Making History." The First. A Historic Election. No not Obama being the First Black President, gone are those days as well, but being the First Muslim Elected to Congress. Yes, Rep. Keith Ellison IS the First Muslim to Serve in the House. Big Wooptido. So now that he was Elected, like Obama, People want to know, what now? People, contrary to popular opinion, CARE about Policies and Actions. Oh, it does say a lot of where our Country is now, compared to where we came from, by electing Obama, but NOW they want actual Policies and Actions that will HELP the Country. The People of Minnesota now want Rep. Keith Ellison to DO something more than just BE Muslim. He has done NOTHING to help the People of Minnesota. Gone are the days of feeling good for their pick based SOLELY on the Historic Nature of the Election.

So this Idiot wants another 15 minutes? Is he trying to sure up his Base? Does ANYONE actually CARE? According to the The Washington Examiner - Congressman on hunger strike to show solidarity with Occupy By: Aubrey Whelan 12/16/11 11:16 AM.

Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., embarked on a 24-hour hunger strike in solidarity with four Occupy DC protesters who have gone without food since Dec. 8 to advocate for D.C. voting rights.

{Laughing} Unless he is actually Camping out, how will anyone know if he actually ate anything? Besides that, in 24 hours he will have Filet Mignon while the Occupy Morons are sleeping in Tents Freezing the Tush off. All for something that NO ONE CARE'S about. If Voting Rights were what this was all about, Cool. At lease it would have more support. But along with Voting Rights, they want Debts Forgiven, Energy Companies Stopped, Free Collage, ETC. Things that will help INCREASE the Damage and hasten the demise of our very Country. In their Declaration, "We believe that human rights are universal. Among these rights are the right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and the basic right to economic security." So they feel that the only way to INSURE Life, Liberty, the Pursuit of Happiness," is through Big Government, Socialistic Control. They believe that it's a RIGHT to have "Economic Security." Which MEANS, no mater what you do, your Financial Needs will be met, even if that means taking from someone else. That is NOT America folks. Work hard, reap the Rewards. NOT Work hard and have your Rewards TAKEN from you and given to someone else who is sitting in their Home watching TV and Drinking Beer all day.

Ellison, the first Muslim to serve in the House, met with the hunger strikers Thursday and pledged to read their declaration – which calls for full voting rights for District residents as well as legislative and budget autonomy – on the floor of the House of Representatives to enter it into the congressional record.

The hunger strikers have been meeting with various lawmakers and their staffers on Capitol Hill this week. Success has been mixed. On Wednesday, strikers staged a sit-in outside House Speaker John Boehner's office for hours, but didn't get a meeting with the Ohio Republican.

So a Congressman, that no one cares about, is meeting with Protesters, that no one cares about, to join them in their quest, that no one cares about. {Sigh} You know though, this is not the sad thing about all this. No. The sad thing about all this is that they, The Protesters, most likely ACTUALLY believe that HE Cares and that ANY of this is going to make a difference.

Anyway, we are FULLY Loaded and ready to go today. Going to fill my cup. Be right back.
Peter

A Sincere Thank You To Freddie Roman and Dick Capri

Also a sincere Thank you to Rich Stevens

Hey folks,

I had a perfect Friday From the Emails Segment ready to go this morning. It will have to wait until Sunday. I have to talk about last night. Last night was a magical and funny night. It took me back to my childhood and it made me and Laura laugh harder than we have in a while. A Long While.

You see folks, there were two very special Guests in town. Freddie Roman and Dick Capri. If you know who these two Gentlemen are, I need say no more. They truly are the Kings of Comedy. Not because someone named them that, but because this is WHO they are. They have been doing Comedy for over 50 years. The Catskills would not be the Catskills if it were not for them. They brought a little bit of the Catskills, of which I remember well, to right here in Sunny South Florida.

OK, so this all started a little bit ago, when the GREATEST Morning Show, as I keep telling you, The Conversation with Rich Stevens and News Dude Dave McBride, came on the air and said, "Hey, we got tickets to the Kings of Catskill Comedy, Freddie Roman and Dick Capri, who are coming to the Coral Springs Center for the Performing Arts on December 1st. The Show is Free! But you have to have a Ticket, and the only way you can get a Ticket is to win one from 850 WFTL Radio." Let the frenzy begin. {Smile}

Every time after that, that Rich STARTED to mention the Tickets, the Phone Banks lit up. Ten at a time here 5 there. Rich's Show. Dave's Morning News Show, Joyce Kaufman, even gave some away. Folks, not just because of this, but seriously, you really need to check out 850 WFTL Radio. I am pretty much tuned in there from like 7 am till somewhere around 2 sometimes later. Time allows. I know you may not live here in South Florida, but you can listen any time you want Online.

Anyway, they gave away the tickets, yet the phones kept ringing. The Emails kept coming. People kept clamouring for more Tickets. There were no more. So 850 and the Coral Springs Theater decided to open up the Balcony section for the first Two Hundred people that showed up without Tickets. I knew I had to get there early of we would be all the way in the back next to some Fire Exit. Never being at the Theater before, I did not know that there really are no bad seats there.

So myself and Laura arrived at about 6:30. The doors open at 6:30. The Show started at 8 pm. But folks, IT WAS PACKED!! Thanks to Rich Stevens, myself a Laura were treated to a very Special Night. We got to meet Freddie Roman. I got pics with Rich and Him. I will post them as soon as I get them. We ended up in the Front VIP Section. Thank you again Rich. And then the Show began.

Rich Stevens up first. He was great. There was no lull. He talked about his memories of the Catskills and growing up in NY. He did a GREAT job. HE brought back some memories of my time in NY. Then he introduced Dick Capri.

Again, there were no quiet moments. Laughter filled the room. From his facial expressions, body language, and ACTUAL material, like only the originals can do, he filled the place with Laughter and Happiness. No four letter words. No Political stuff. No outright insults. Just humor. Straight up, plain and simple, HUMOR. Like with Freddie, who was up next, it must be a years of experience thing.

Then there was Freddie, who by the way, introduced Rich in the beginning of the Show. I can't speak for Rich, but that would have been a GREAT Honour for me, to have someone like the legendary Freddie Roman introduce me. He comes out. Looks around, and just starts talking. Again, it was the whole package. His jokes, body language, everything. It was truly a Magical Night and one filled with Laughter and Happiness.

The folks at 850 WFTL, Humana, and of course the Coral Springs Center for the Performing Arts, should be proud of a job well done. They made a fan of me. I will return there in the future. Oh and of course TooJays Deli for Catering the VIP Lounge. GREAT FOOD. Thank you. Chances are there is a TooJays near you. Rumour has it, well, according to Rich anyway, they have the BEST Chopped Liver in Florida. {Smile}

A night both myself and my Wife will remember for a LONG time. Thank you to all and look forward to the next time. Trust me folks, you get the chance to see Freddie and or Dick, you HAVE to catch the Show. And, uh, Listen to 850 WFTL The Conversation with Rich Stevens and Dave McBride already, will ya. {Smile}

See you Sunday.
Peter
