Dinner for Schmucks
Regrettably, I was forced to forego another ugly Orioles loss last night, because I was at the Loews 16 in White Marsh to host the Baltimore pre-screening of the new sure-to-be-a-hit-just-because-of-the-title comedy, Dinner For Schmucks.
Well, I guess calling myself the host is probably stretching a point. I was there representing 98 Rock and WBAL Radio, which means I introduced the movie, told the crowd what it's like to live with a name like Schmuck and gave away 98 Rock T-shirts to anyone in the audience with a strange or funny last name.
The movie? I'd give it 1 1/2 thumbs up. It started a bit slow, but ramped up to a very funny finish. I doubt, however, that you'll find it more entertaining than my professional wrestling debut on Saturday night at the New Green Room in Dundalk. Busy week.

Your last name in terms of the movie, doesn't fit you. Your a hero to many O's fans and I came to enjoy your columns and stories because of your wit and wisdom.
Thanks for doing what you do Pete.
I'll probably miss this movie until it comes to my local library.

Peter -
Is it a remake of the French film "Dinner for Idiots"?
As for your name, maybe you could copy JJ Putz and pronounce your name "Scmook". Haha.
BTW, I once knew a girl whose last name was "Slutsky"; unfortunately she didn't live up to her name.
