Bad Morning

Morning...bad! I’m in desperate need of diet Mountain Dew and then there will be some Condensed Gossip in a bit. As always, postings will be light since it’s a Saturday and I’m working on next week’s stuff, but there will be a new poll here, a regurgitated MySpace blog and a Daily Video early this evening, so check back if you’re around today. Happy Saturday and all that jazz. I need to wake the fuck up now. Sneeze ya soon in future updates.

I'm really beat tonight, so there won't be much of a Beer Frame column. It'll be light posting over the weekend, but there will be updates here and in the Condensed Gossip section, so check in, if you so desire. It was a good week here at the show and I appreciate everyone stopping by. I liked the Kojak Thursday and have decided that every Thursday will be a theme day. Next week it's going to be Three Stooges Thursday, so tune in to that one for sure. And "Boris," who did such a whiz-bang job on yesterday's Home Page just might be doing the artwork for next Thursday, so that's reason enough to tune in. Okay, time for me to tune out and have a few beers.

Cheers,

Marty

Daily Video

The Larch “Return of the Chimera”

Here’s a cool video by some pals of mine, The Larch. This is a great power pop rocking band that hails from Brooklyn, NY. Below are some facts I copied from their Youtube information because I’m too lazy to write anymore right now. Great song and great video! If you live in the Tri-State area, watch them live at one of their many venues, you’ll be happy you did! And now, to quote our cover boy, Joe Friday (so artfully depicted by “Boris”), just the facts:

Return of the Chimera by the Larch is from the 2008 album Gravity Rocks. Video editing & direction Steve DeSeve and Ian Roure. The Larch are Ian Roure: Guitar vocals; Liza Garelik: keyboards vocals; Tom Pope: Drums and Ross Bonadonna: bass and recording engineer. Actors: Dan Gareau and Aly Rey.

Chimera: Creature from Greek mythology composed of parts from different animals (i.e. the body of a lioness, a goat's head growing out of its back and a snake for a tail.) In modern biological research "chimeric" animals have been genetically engineered to possess cells taken from different creatures e.g. mice that have blood (or even brain matter) that is 100% human.

P.O. Box 359

After two weeks of fun mail from mystery mailers, it saddens me to report that this week, my P.O. Box was empty. Just like my heart. Sob!

Oh well, maybe next week, till then I’ll pretend I’m this woman.

Hi Asshole!

Hi Asshole!

Thanks "Boris!"

My friend and resident facebook wiseguy, “Boris,” is the artist responsible for today’s Homepage Joe Friday art. He promises to do more and I look forward to the upcoming creations as he is a Photoshop Master. When my book, The Boy Who Would Be A Fire Truck came out, “Boris” did a series of art pieces featuring the book being held by a variety of people. And below you can see some of the highlights. Thanks, “Boris,” I look forward to more of your creations!

Knock Knock. Who's there? Kojak! Kojak who? Kojak up the car, I've got a flat tire!

Marty, I LOVE "The Marty Wombacher Show Theme" by Slim Volume!Great, muthafuckas! Hellllooooooo?!??!!

Its fun to stay at the YMCA. Unless you REALLY live there full time. Then it blows monkey snot.

I think the sub-conscience buzzing sounds of electronics put some people to sleep. You can't ever hear it, but it's there.
On the other hand, I hear the economy is getting so bad that companies are starting to hire up dead people. They fill a need to make it look like a place is thriving with enough employees, but the company doesn't actually have to pay them, and the sexual harassment law-suits are rather minimal. *wince*

drum roll please......yes, Letterman, you may use my Joke

And now you and Portia are engaged, right?!

Marty,
Oh come on man, Rehab is a great name for a rock & roll place. Good lord even I spent 30 days at Betty Fords!! :)

"The kid's no trooper!" One of my favorite sayings ever! They do not make actors like W.C. Fields anymore. Vaudeville is dead. Can you imagine if Brad Pitt could sing, dance, juggle and do acrobats and still be able to drink like that?

Brad Elvis is in The Handcuffs? Isn't he the same guy that drums for The Romantics?
eme

On occasion Brad fills in for Elaine Orwell on drums. Marty, great stuff here. I read it every day. keep up the great work. Funny!

You rock!

I'd heard the fortune cookie story, but hadn't seen the photos...wow, it's like seeing pictures of the moon landing!! Legend comes to life! Cool stuff. Who can't love fortune cookies after Mexican food? (That doesn't bring any kind of bad luck, does it?) ;-)

Glad the mini-cam video was useful! It doesn't do the sound justice, but trust me when I say The Handcuffs were awesome...
Aaron

I've yet to come across those "Chicken in a Biskit" crackers! Nothing quite screams 'processed food' like the idea of an aerosol can full of cheese!

Hello? Hello? Yuks. But what's going on in the background in your apartment, Martin? Sounds like a retarded adolescent girl being tortured. Now how could that be? M. H.

Daily Video

I hope you enjoyed this Kojak Thursday, and what more fitting way to end it than with a video of The Man himself singing, “Who Loves Ya, Baby?”

I only went to college for one year and promptly flunked out, but the one year I went it was Drake University and my older brother Jim also was there. I lived in the dorms, but Jim had an apartment near campus, so I pretty much lived there. Every Sunday we would go to Dick’s grocery store and we’d stuff a can of Manwich and a half pound of ground beef in our jackets, buy a cheap loaf of bread and then go back to his apartment, smoke a ton of pot, eat Manwiches and watch the latest episode of Kojak. Every time he said, “Baby,” we’d chug a beer and we always ended up really fucked up. So whenever I think of Kojak, it dredges up fond memories.

I hope you had a wonderful Kojak Thursday, here! Who loves ya, baby? I do!
