The heat is going to be on me for a change
Just want to remind everyone that the Schmuck Charity Roast is tomorrow night at the Comedy Factory at Lombard and Light Sts (above Burkes Restaurant). The verbal abuse starts at 8 and there are a lot of people who want to get their licks in, so you better get on the phone and call the Cool Kids Campaign for tickets ($25) at 410-560-1770.
It's a great cause and my ego needs have some air let out of it, so join local media celebrities like Mickey Cucchiella, Bruce Cunningham, Mark Viviano, Steve Davis, "Nasty" Nestor Aparicio, Roch Kubatko and Stan "The Fan" Charles as they take me to task. Comedians Bob Somerby, Pete Eibner and Alabama also will take their best shots when The Schmuck Stops There.

With your sense of humor I bet you give it as good as you get it. Those guys better watch out if you have a chance to rebut them. This is one of those rare times when I wish I wasn't in california. I would be there.

Pete's reply: Thanks for the vote of confidence. I hope I can live up to it.

"Hey you're a Schmuck" is only the beginning. You sure you wanna go through with this, man?
You're gonna get torched, man!

Pete's reply: Bring it on, my nasty friend.

Schmucker, I'd love to come if I wasn't in Boston. (Though, watching Red Sox fans weep is my own sort of comedy fesitival). Think the 'Roast will make it on YouTube?

Pete's reply: Good question. I was kind of hoping it wouldn't be saved for posterity.

I heard Barry Bonds was showing up.

Pete's reply: I sure hope so. He would spice up the occasion considerably.
