Talk:Rod Roddy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is there any explaination as to why these categories were added to the page:
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender people
Gay icons
I haven't found any information any where supporting this.
Also, since when is the National Enquirer a legitimate source to use? I'm removing this line:
Recent reports in the National Enquirer have surfaced, outing Roddy, claiming he was known for taking numerous trips throughout his life to Thailand to conduct sexual encounters with men.
I just heard about his death. Such sad news. He was half the reason why TPIR was such a fun show SD6-Agent 01:32, 29 Oct 2003 (UTC)
Impossibly loud? That hardly sounds like a term that would be used in a legitimate encyclopedia. Is the author from California? I would recommend the use of a respected dictionary.

When I wrote 'impossibly loud' (paraphrasing from Websters), I meant it as:
'to an unbelievable degree' (impossibly) 'gaudy' (loud, as in fashion - standing out)
But by all means go ahead and change the page to have whatever term you like. It's a wiki, after all, and I'm not terribly attached to that particular term. :)
One thing's certain; Rod Roddy's collection of sportcoats was unforgettable. It was one of his signatures. Skybunny 00:50, 5 Nov 2003 (UTC)
[edit] United Fund
What is this "United Fund" that Rod Roddy led a protest against? --Popefelix 17:36, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
It was known as the "United Fund" at that time. The issue is that employees who declined to contribute with payroll deductions were fired from their jobs. This was an issue discussed at length on Rod Roddy's Hotline on KLIF. There was also news coverage of it on Channel 13's "Newsroom" program.
