Find out what it means to me!

Well, we’d like to – if you care to share. Maybe you get lots of respect – like Donald Trump if he didn’t have such horrendous hair. Maybe you walk into a room and all eyes are on you. Maybe you lift a finger in a meeting and everyone pipes down.

No respect, you say? What are you, Rodney Dangerfield? Quit whinin’ and start talkin’. Tell us how you were dissed at work, disrespected by your lover, disengaged from the drill team / baseball team / debate team / honor society – whatever it was, however long ago, it’s this if nothing else: GOOD FODDER.

Whether you get it or you want it, respect is the name of the game on this night. So get on stage and command it – it’s yours for the taking if you’re up for the telling.
