CAR TALK
Broadcasting from the Triumphant Returns Department at Car Talk Plaza



There is a great radio program on National Public Radio called Car Talk with Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers. They give advice on cars, trucks and other assorted topics to those who call on subjects ranging from automobiles to marriage, ethics and even foreign policy. It is an assortment of legitimate advice mixes with a large measure of teasing, spoofing, and as grandmaw used to say, an extra helping of ‘Tom foolry,’ on the subjects and the people who call. At the end of the program they read a list of credits, which includes the staff of the program. I think the first five are real, however the rest are spoofs. Sometimes these change, and I thought it might be interesting to see if we could come up with a new list.

So…here’s the deal. Submit your suggestions for staff, advisors, whatever you want to call them. The top (no limited on how many we will choose) choices will be submitted to Car Talk via email and we will see if they use them. However, everyone that is chosen to be submitted will receive 1,000 GP.

Here are the Rules


1. Choose a Position Title from the show or create a new one.
2. Create a new person for that title (a play on words that sounds like a name)
3. Submit it in this In & Out.
4. No deadline will be set, and we will end the contest when we believe we have enough entries to select a good list of names to submit to Car Talk. What that means is it can close without notice. So, if you have a suggestion, post it today.

5. Please respect the rating. Click and Clack are sensitive guys and we don’t want to offend! Any post above the stated rating will be deleted.

Below are the existing positions and people who fill those positions:

Public Opinion Advisor: Paul Murkey of Murkey Research (Paul Murky)
Statistician: Margin O’Error (Margin of Error)
Customer Care Rep: Haywood U. Buzzoff (Hey Would You Buzz Off)

Seat Tester: Fitzma Tush (Fits My Tush)

I have posted the first post as an example.
