A friend of mine, and a member here at the Invision Boards (Jim, LetsGoMets2003) has always strived to be a good announcer. He's even taken some tips from me, the master. ;-)
However, both him and I know that he still has quite a ways to go before he becomes the next Randy West. Because of that, one day I decided to throw together a compilation of his "Greatest" or should I say "Not-So-Greatest" moments. It's basically a funny montage and compilation of clips from Jim's TPIR Announcing Demos he's sent me, set to outlandish Polka music. Both him and I found it absolutely hilarious, and we hope you do too.
Jim would like to say " I apologize to Brandon, Tammy, Randy, Dan Rosen, and anyone else who cringes when hearing this."
However, this was about a year back, and Jim has gotten better, THANKFULLY.
Just so you know, Jim approved this post, so don't jump on me like I'm slandering him. It's all out of fun.
And if that's not enough! One of the members of the Yahoo group, the "GST Emporium", Jim Williams, loved the clip so much, he made a parody of it! And Jim also did the voice-overs. It's a 2 CD sales pitch from the friendly folks at Ronco! Enjoy the "Cheesy Announcing-Fest!"
With some luck, Jim's going to be well on his way to becoming the next "William Hung"!
Without further adeiu, here they are.

Uh, you'd better try hosting these somewhere else besides Geocities, because our good old friend "This site is temporarily unavailible" just showed up.

Oh geez. Thanks for letting me know, Casey, Doug just signed off. I'll see what I can do to rectify the situation since I have both clips.

URGENT...In addition to adoring these announcing gems, I'd love to download and hear the clean version of the Ronco theme!!! (In honor of my mom who bought the "set-it and forget-it" contraption! lol!

Now's a good time to make my first post. I'm the guy behind the Ronco spoof (Jim Williams that is). I'd like to first note, I was merely trying to impersonate the Ronco announcer in the clip, that was not my own voice. When I get a chance (college and all), I'll upload the Ronco theme to my cheap-o comcast page and make it available for download. Hope ya get a good chuckle out of it.

You know, after reading that, I can now die a happy man.
Flattered and flustered,
