A Few Quick Things, vol. 291

I’m short on time today, my friends, so I’ll need to keep this one brief.  Never heard that one before, huh?  Sweet sainted mother of Wrongway Feldman!

In any case, I was recently interviewed by two local reporters, and the first article appeared on the front page of the Lifestyles section of Sunday’s Scranton Times.  Here’s the piece.

Several of Toney’s friends called yesterday morning about it, so I guess my secret is out?  Oh well.  If I want to sell books, I can’t keep it to myself, right?  It still makes me a little uneasy, though…

Over the weekend I posted something new at CrossroadsRoad dotcom.  You can read it here.

I’m going to start updating CrossroadsRoad, occasionally, with personal stories that might appeal to folks who would also enjoy the novel.  The Surf Report is all-over-the-place, and I want that site to be more focused and slowed-down.  So, stay tuned, but don’t be expecting daily (or even weekly) updates.  They’re going to be few and far between, but hopefully of good quality.

Over the weekend a hashtag game popped-up on Twitter, and I got all wrapped up in it.  People all over the world were posting #fatbands — names of existing bands adjusted for fatness.  For instance:  Rage Against the Exercise Machine.  Or, one of my favorites (by Aaron Starmer):  Crosby, Crosby, and Crosby.

You get the idea, right?  Here are the ones I posted:

My Morning Jacket Potato
The Velvet Wonderbread
Riffleback
Ham Halen
The Hoodoo Ho-Hos
Husker Stew
Crowded Waffle House
Teddy Seatbelt Extendergrass
XXL Cool J
ZZ IHOP
Chex Pistols
Bear Claw Naked Ladies
Ben’s Five Folds

I think that’s all of them… Ridiculous.  However, I’m proud of the Teddy Pendergrass entry.  And, of course, Ham Halen.  Heh.

Please use the comments link to continue with this stoopid thing.  Stoopid but fun, and dangerously addictive (be careful!).

And finally, I received an email from Clive Bull today.  A few weeks ago he suddenly announced he was leaving his legendary late-night radio show in London.

Shocked, I sent him a brief note of support, and he actually wrote back to me.  It took a while, but he sent a very nice reply.  He’s a class act.

And, I’d like to make that the second part of the Question of the Day (in addition to #fatbands):  I’d like to know if you’ve ever had correspondence with a celebrity.  It could have been via email or Twitter or handwritten letters, it doesn’t matter.  I’d just like to know about it.

Please bring us up to date in the comments box below.

And I’ll try to post a real update tomorrow.  Sorry for this quickie…  But it’s slightly better than nothing, right?  …Hello?

See you guys on Tuesday.

Have a great day!

  3. I’m not sure if this counts as “correspondence”, but nowadays it comes close. I went to an outdoor country music show earlier this month. During a brief letup in the rain I took a crappy video of Corb Lund singing “The Truck Got Stuck” and put it on YouTube the next day. A day or two later I noticed it had hundreds of views. Turns out Corb put a link to it on his Facebook page.

  4. Good Afternoon Surf Reporters…

    I followed the #fatbands hash tag on Twitter, Jeff came up with a bunch of great ones.

    As far as celebrity correspondences, not a whole lot really. John Daly, the PGA golfer is on a follower/followee on Twitter. We’ve interacted once or twice.

    And I follow several members of the Pittsburgh media, who in turn follow back, although I couldn’t really classify them as “celebrities”, at least not on a world wide level.

  5. I got a hand written letter from George W. Bush while he was President. I wrote him a quick e-mail because I was visiting my mother in Waco, TX. The airport that he used as a base to get to his ranch in Crawford was very close to her house. When he came in the whole fucking place shut down, you couldn’t go on certain roads and it seemed to take forever.

    He wrote me a note that basically said, “I’m sorry for the inconvenience. These precautions aren’t my doing, and if I had my way I’d just drive myself there. I’ll try to arrage future trips where they aren’t so disruptive.” He blah blahed some other stuff, then he signed it. We still have it. I thought it was odd that the President would send some asshat a letter.

    I’ve had an ongoing e-mail conversation going with “Danielle” from “American Pickers”. Probably 30 e-mails in all. That’s a lot of fun. She thinks I’m funny, I think she’s hot. And so on.

    I’ve also got several letters from Senators and such, but I suspect most of them are form letters that are auto-signed.

    I’ve got some autographs too, but GWB and Danielle are the only ones I can point to as “correspondence”.

  7. Really, only 5 people so far? Where is everyone?

    I email this guy names Jeff Kay once a year but he usually ignores my advice and suggestions… it’s ok… i’m not hurt of stuff… I do get a nice email from him every once in a while when I buy a Tshirt or him a beer… he’s courteous at least.

    I just realized I’ve been plagurizing Jeff at work – I send out a weekly email to my time I call “a few quick hits” … I didn’t realize it was materially the same as Jeff’s column. I shall now do the honerable thing and fall upon my sword.

    I emailed a few members of the federal government when then needed to hear from me (imho). I also emailed people in the news when they made or are making stupid decisions (like suspending minor league hockey coaches for the technically correct reason but the wholly wrong principled reason for example). Never got a reply from that one…

    Fat bands huh… I’ll have to think about that one. … Pie and the Family Stone???

  8. I got a nice little letter from a Mr. Jeff Kay, Esquire. He was threatening to have a restraining order put on me. I have it framed on a wall in my office. Next to a picture of him eating donuts and dozens of other things that I’ve pilfered from his garbage while he slept.

  9. Is Little John sitting with his ass crack on the armrest? how comfortable is that???

    THAT is a large indvidual. He should almost be referred to in the Plural.

    It looks like the plane is still loading but I bet the guy beside him is praying that those two seats behind him stay open so he can move.

    Did you ever go back to your kindergarden class and sit on the little chairs and enjoyed a fun little moment at the size discrepancy? Just think; Little John can do that anywhere and everywhere. He must be so happy about that.

    I think I can hear him breathing from here.

    When She who must be feared and obeyed and I were wed, we flew to Fla for our honeymoon. There was a girl in the window seat already… let me correct that… she was in her window seat already but her hip was 5 inches in to my seat… I’m no Little John but I do need most of ths seat space allocated to me. A slight inconvenience but what the hell do ya do?

    When we were at Universal last time, they had a car from the Mummy ride out front so you could see if you’d fit. It was surrounded by a large group of large people. I said to the group, “let me save you all some embarrasment – I’ll get in and you can compare yourself against me”. One guy who was 2 inches taller but 60 lbs heavier still got in after he saw that I was probably the largest that could fit comforably. Some people are in denial.

    What’s up with Friendly’s…. Huge portions and even bigger desserts? Have I talked about this before? They’re killing their customers and their future customers… When mom and dad both tip the scales at 300 lbs, butter ball 1 and 2 are sure to follow. So sad.

  12. Have an autographed copy of Bear Grylls’ book that he signed when he met my dad and I. Watched my mother tell racing legend Bobby Rahal to, and I quote “Get his own goddamned sandwich and get out of the way” and saw her tell Paul Newman that he “just couldn’t be Paul Newman, as you sir, are way too short.” Wotta riot. Met a bunch of PBR riders in Cincy this year when they rode down there, pretty cool to be getting out of a taxi and have PBR riders ask where we’ve been because “y’all are hammered drunk and have good lookin’ girls with you–and that’s what we’re needin’” Good times!

  19. A few years back, I bought an anthology of the first year of MAD–beginning with the famous “Melvin” pseudo-horror cover on Issue #1–and I’m convinced it’s even edgier than later MAD. It’s unadulterated anti-establishment, off-the-wall humor, with the Archie/Jughead-as-juvie-delinquents stuff topping it all. MAD was an outlier in publishing in the fifties and sixties–so aggressively in-your-face and absurdist that you’d think it was published by time travelers from a later, less square era. I’m convinced that MAD is the unsung hero of the counter-culture revolution of the sixties; for a time, it was the only mainstream parody of square culture. Today, only South Park (and that’s being generous) approaches MAD.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfqpXNfywT4&feature=related

    Cheap Trick was playing when the black clouds really started to roll in and the temperature dropped 10 degrees. The PA died or was shut off but the band kept playing on their amps alone for about 45 seconds, then were stopped and rushed off stage…maybe 10-20 seconds later the whole 4 story structure came crashing down. Then the rains and lightning came. Luckily, the stage collapsed backwards and only 3 people were taken to hospital all of whom have since been released. If the stage had fell forward, there could have been thousands injured. After helping shut down one of the beer tents, I was able to ride out the storm inside a refrigerated beer trailer, surrounded by kegs. I figure, if it was my time, that’s not a bad way to go.

Well I got a response from Ralph Metzner, one of the founders, and sent several back-and-forth e-mails, as a 17 year old punk kid, to one of the worlds foremost psychedelic authorities. Needless to say, it was rather mind-blowing. I wish I could find the e-mails, but I’ve been through a number of e-mail addresses since then.

    I’m gonna keep thinking of more until Jeff gets over being sick from his Marty Krofft Dinner!
    Hopefully he’ll get better–FAST!

  61. Many moons have passed since I wrote to a radio personality, let alone a famous one. I was just a 10-year old kid back in the early 60s when I apprehensively penned a letter to then King of Hartford radio, Joey Reynolds. Some time later a neighborhood friend excitedly proclaimed on the school bus one morning that she had heard Joey read my letter over the air the previous night – a night that I hadn’t been listening. Sigh.

    So I was left to vicariously bask in this fleeting fame through Debby Vencenzo describing my letter to some curious kids who had overheard her “broadcast.”
