The things my radio coworkers say on the air about me sometimes result in interesting results. For some reason the day before Valentine's Day Wade Bates said I needed a valentine and people should send cards, e-mails, drop off cookies etc. You can't see a guy blush over the radio, but I was a little lighter shade of rose red.
Thanks to our lady listeners the joke kind of backfired. I did get e-mails, a nice homemade card, a couple of stuffed animals including a singing teddy-bear that crooned Elvis's "Only Fools Fall In Love, " and some interesting comments. Most were very kind. One asked simply "Why are those guys picking on you?" I really didn't mind and most people know getting Valentine's cards and gifts will pick anyone up.
Here's a nice poem we shared on air from Rhonda Gurno at Wells Manufacturing:
KFIZ-the morning radio show,
Says Bob Nelson has no sweetheart in toe.
Don't worry Bob as you are truly not alone,
There are lots of single folks in the area just waiting by the phone.
No floral delivery, no candy and of course, not even a little pink card,
Can make the deal of Feb. 14, just a little bit hard.
Stand up, rejoice and get yourself a special treat,
Cuz' your fans out here think that you are really pretty neat!
I told Wade that payback can be a little awful, so here goes. It has a St. Patrick's Day theme to it. You can drop off cans of beef stew (do they come in Irish?) for Wade at KFIZ at 254 Winnebago Drive in Fond du Lac or maybe just send him a good luck message. His email address is wbates@kfiz.com. If we do get some stew maybe we can donate it to one of our local food pantries, they can all use some good luck this time of year.
