Fred Basset by Alex Graham for June 28, 2021

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery Fred though the man was likely Fred first…

Fred, you will always be special!

Oh Fred! Your NAME might be not that unique, but YOU, Fred Basset, are unique and very special. You are one of a kind, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

You’ll always be ‘special’ to us, ‘Fred’ ! ! !!

Fred we know you ! ….. Not those other Freds !

I used to think I had an unique name [first and last], but when applying for my email address about 20 years ago, I found I was among 8 others in the country. My doctors also ask for D.O.B. to be sure.

All we have to do is mention “FRED” and everyone knows WHO we are talking about.

That’s better than what happened to MY name… (Let’s just say that there’s a reason I go by “Wren”.)

You’re my favorite Fred

Fred is special to me.

You are always special!

Too many of “us”.

To humans he’s Fred. To his dog mates he’s Roofus. :) And yes special in all kinds of ways

Fred, you’re very special in your own right, but Fred was also my father’s name, and that makes you extra-special to me.

Nonsense! Fred, you are the most special Fred who was every born!
