1. FRED

   FRED is a comic barbershop quartet formed in 1990 by members of the Marietta Big Chicken Chorus. Despite their focus on comedy, FRED produces a very refined sound. Their performance in 1999 at the SPEBSQSA International Championship made them gold medalists, making them the first comedy quartet to ever win first place at the International level. In 2010, Storm Front became the first comedy quartet to win since then. FRED's take on the "comedy quartet" was original, in that they have not relied on spoken dialog in between songs to set up the humor in the next song, as most comedy quartets do. Instead, their humor is built into their lyrics, musical arrangements, and stage presentation. Parodies are a staple of their performances, and their parodies often have Barbershop "in-jokes" where they poke fun at other quartets and singers, themselves, and even the contest judges. SPEBSQSA International competition finishes: 1991: 35th Place 1992: 26th Place 1993: 27th Place 1994: 11th Place 1995: 8th Place 1996: 4th Place 1997: 2nd Place Silver Medal 1998: 4th Place 1999: 1st Place Gold Medal

1. fred

   1. The personal name most frequently used as a metasyntactic variable (see foo). Allegedly popular because it's easy for a non-touch-typist to type on a standard QWERTY keyboard. In Great Britain, ‘fred’, ‘jim’ and ‘sheila’ are common metasyntactic variables because their uppercase versions were official names given to the 3 memory areas that held I/O status registers on the lovingly-remembered BBC Microcomputer! (It is reported that SHEILA was poked the most often.) Unlike J. Random Hacker or J. Random Loser, the name ‘fred’ has no positive or negative loading (but see Dr. Fred Mbogo). See also barney. 2. An acronym for ‘Flipping Ridiculous Electronic Device’; other F-verbs may be substituted for ‘flipping’.
