Ask Sophie / Gripe Tom

We're proud to announce an invitation to "Ask Sophie", a live Los-Angeles-based internet radio show.  Tom Antonellis, author of 'A Bunch of Gripe Grapes (formerly titled 'Hate Speech & Other Things I Hate')' has been invited onto the show as an expert griper!

We're sure you can imagine how excited Tom is given that there are no FCC restrictions on internet shows so he can really gripe his friggin' ass off.

If you like what you hear and enjoy the griping, make sure to pop over to  thickskincreations.com to pick up your copy of Gripe Grapes.

The show "airs" (do you say "air" when it's online?  The show "lines"?  What do you say!?  God I hate that!)  The show "lines" at 10am Pacific Time on Thursday May 26th.  (That's 1pm for you dyed-in-the-wool East Coast Tom Antonellis fans).

Stream!  That's what you say.  I think.  The show streams at 10am PST.  Or 'casts.  Like the end of broadcast.   Whatever!

So, procrastinate in your work, shirk your responsibilities and blow off your engagements so you can gripe with your favorite curmudgeon:  Tom Antonellis.

To get you started:  thinks I am currently hating:

- all this talk about the "rapture"

- all this talk about who Arnold Schwarzenegger has had sex with.  I have never really, really cared about Arnold Schwarzenegger.  I have a bunch of his movies; that's as far as my interest goes.  I JUST DON'T CARE.  I didn't care who Clinton diddled either.  When it comes to elected officials, I care about one thing and one thing only:  are you doing your job?  That's it.

- the French phrase "je voudrais"

- sigmoidoscopies

- frogs

- people who you call and when they pick up, after you identify yourself, they say:  "Oh, I'm actually at work right now, can I call you back?..."  Please, don't shit a shitter.  Have the guts to say, "Oh, now that I know it's you, I regret that I've picked up.  I thought it was someone I actually wanted to talk to.  Can I get back to waxing the carrot now?"  I hate these people.

- along the same lines:  people who answer the phone with sleep-voice.  Don't pick up, people!

Los Angeles Peops: Last Minute Weekend Idea

Tom's Comedy Reel

Beat that unpleasant paralysis feeling that starts to creep over you on Sunday night!  You know the feeling:  the impending dread of Monday stalking you.  It's like your a pygmy marmoset and Monday is a jackal.  It's awful.  I've got just the thing!...

Flappers' websiteTickets available at the door ($15 per person).  As opposed to the usual 2-drink minimum, Flapper’s is cool:  they have a 2-item minimum.  So you can order a food/drink/whatever combo.  If you haven’t been to Flappers, you should know they have a great menu.

Erin Go Bragh! -- Relanym it and you get: 'Susie Go Nightgown!', 'Agnes Go Negligée!'

 

In celebration of my Irish half (the part you can't detect in my last name but is glaringly obvious in my middle name:  Foley), I wish you all a very happy and healthy Happy St. Patrick's Day.

I learned that Saint Patrick was born about 385 in Scotland. His parents, Calpurnius and Conchessa, were Catholic Romans living in Britain in charge of the colonies. This might even make Saint Patrick an Italian.  Cool.  Like me -- Irish / Italian.

The Blood-Type Diet, which I loosely follow, tells O-type people (O rhymes with "no") what not to eat:  no potato, no bread, no pasta.  I'm Irish / Italian.  This means nothing I've had since breast-milk has been proper for me to eat.  Actually:  check that -- O-types shouldn't have milk!  Arrggggh!

But today's about the Irish.  I proclaim loudly:  "Erin Go Bragh!" which means "Ireland Forever!"  Of course, in my house, my dad would always make the joke:  "Erin Go Bragh-less".  Which entertained us to no end.

I figured I'd do some 'Relanym's for you to celebrate St. Patrick's Day (my book, "'Precipice Writings' and Other Relanyms" is available for purchase.  Click here.)

Erin Go Bragh!

Relanym it and you get:  'Susie Go Nightgown!', 'Agnes Go Negligée!', 'Kathy Go Corset!', 'Patty Go Panties!'

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!

Order 'Relanyms' here!

Get organized!!

For those in my field who are aware of my organization, communication and teaching training services, January is such a natural month for goal-setting and improvement commitments to oneself.

 

To encourage you to act (vs. choosing not to act or falling victim to procrastination) I am reducing fees for only the month of January.
