Volume Three: The Life and Times of Tom Musial

I’ve reactivated the nearly world-famous Tom Musial dot com.

No fancy new design as of yet.

Keep checking. I’ll be adding some back-dated entries.

My wife and I were discussing sandwiches, and during the conversation I realized that I have more than one favorite sandwich.

• The Fish Sandwich is my favorite sandwich in the category of Bar and Restaurant food.
• The corned-beef-and-coleslaw Rachel is my favorite sandwich in the category of Deli Sandwiches.
• The Hot Italian Sausage Sandwich is my favorite sandwich in the category of outdoor venues, which include tailgates, picnics, parish fairs, family reunions, and rib fests.

If you see me at the Immaculate Conception parish fair this summer eating an Italian Sausage, don’t ask me why I didn’t have a fish sandwich. I’ll just refer you to my website.

No TomMusial.com fans have taken a crack at the Name That Quote contest from January 18. I guess that means the million-dollar prize will go unclaimed.

Anyway, the answers are after the jump.

Here are my last four myspace taglines.

Can you name the source of the quotes? Post your guess to Comments

“So I’m back up in the game — running things to take my swing.”

“I’m looking for a dare-to-be-great situation.”

“I’m clean-cut and dapper; that’s what I’m about”

“Caught up between being a father and a prima donna”

Here’s a clever way to attract more women to the field of computer science.

Or, on second thought, perhaps this will just attract more men.

I think that changing my Myspace headline from

A mind to rhyme and two hype feet
to
My rhymes are funky-fresh, not run-of-the-mill

is cool and worth posting about.

I’m taking a break from performing while we await the newest addition to the Musial family.

Missing the birth of a child because I’m telling fart jokes at a random bar in Blawnox would be a quick way to end my marriage.

See you in September.

For reasons too aggravating to relate here, my family no longer owns a minivan (mom’s car) and a sedan (dad’s car).

Instead, we now own a new minivan (mom’s car) and an old minivan (dad’s car).

If you see a shaved-head, goateed, middle-aged man driving around Pittsburgh in a 10-year old minivan with no air conditioning, it’s probably me.

It’s like a dream come true.

Note: my first trip to Slapsticks Comedy Loft in the South Hills is tomorrow night at 9:00 p.m. All you South Hills homies are invited.

PS: As I typed the words “South Hills” above, I accidentally typed “South Ills.” Eerily appropriate, don’t you think?

If you read TomMusial.com at all, you may have noticed that I turned off the commenting features for most posts. I deactived comments due to the annoying comment spambots that were putting advertisements for pharmaceuticals and enhancement creams in my comments.

Well, I geeked out a little bit and added some spam protection to the site, including the addition of a simple math question to the comment form.

If you can read English and do simple arithmetic, you’re welcome to comment. If you can’t, I assume you are a spambot and you are S.O.L.

If anyone cares, please leave a comment.

You should join the Tom Musial Comedy mailing list, so you can get cool emails like this.

Also because that’s what all the cool people do.
