Death Wish VI

Do NOT screw with the Commissioner of the Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services!

More than you know, son. More than you know.

Sometimes when my family is out for a walk, we ask the boys to “buddy up” and hold hands in pairs, as a way to help keep everyone together.

My 3-year-old and 6-year-old were buddies, walking along hand-in-hand, when my three year old looked back at me.

“Daddy’s not holding hands with anyone,” he said. “He doesn’t have a buddy.”

The six-year-old looked back at me.

“Daddy’s holding a beer,” he said.

Then he added: “Beer is Daddy’s buddy.”

Yes. Yes it is.

Ouch! Soup Hurt Me!

I think Tarzan or Tonto is making warning signs at the Sewickley Giant Eagle.

CAUTION SOUP HOT

Something Completely Different

Sometimes people are curious about what I do when I’m not performing comedy, watching TV, or reading the internet.

This article does a pretty good job of describing my day job. An excerpt:

1. Design [software User Interfaces]
2. Write functional specs
3. Coordinate teams
4. Serve as the customer advocate, and
5. Wear Banana Republic chinos

In reality, I wear Old Navy khakis. With five kids, there’s no way I could afford clothes from Banana Republic.

For All My Pals Back in Experimental Methods

This comic from xkcd cracked me up.

Correlation does not imply causation.

Glad to see my college education finally starting to pay off.

Let’s Try This Again

I ended up missing last week’s Skittsburgh show due to a sudden onset of a sinus infection.

I’ll try again tonight. Unfortunately, I don’t think there will be any beads or masks. But you never know….

Place: St. James Place Tavern
Time: 9:00 pm
FREE

Winky Moment of the Week

I was telling a friend about how my fifth-grader will soon be attending a school program that introduces children to the topic of “where babies come from.”

I said something like, “I think it’s that Wonder of Wonders program put on by the Buhl Planetarium.”

My friend said, “I think you mean the Carnegie Science Center. There hasn’t been a Buhl Planetarium in more than fifteen years.”

Sigh. Add it to the list.

Fat Thursday

The Skittsburgh Open Mic and Comedy Sketch show will celebrate “Fat Thursday” at tonight’s show.

Masks and beads will be involved, although it’s not clear (a) who will be wearing the masks and (b) what you’ll need to do to get beads.

Come to the St. James Place Tavern tonight at 9:00 to find out.

FREE!

Separated at Birth?

I think Mike Tomlin and I used to go to the same barber back in 1991.

Mike and Tom

The Most Famous Man in Robinson Township

So I was at Quaker Steak for lunch today, and a man came up to me and said, “Did I see you at the comedy show at St. James Place tavern?”

This is the first time I’ve ever been recognized in public as a comedian.

Big week for me. First the Valley News Dispatch, now public recognition in North Fayette.

I doesn’t get any better than this!

The Tom Musial Media Assault Continues

Or rather: begins for the first time.

Check out this article about this weekend’s show at the Springdale VFD.

“I simply love being in a room full of laughing people. And there’s nothing like being the person responsible for that laughter,” [Musial] says.

I stand by that quote, even if people are laughing because I’m wearing something stupid-looking
