It started with a press release.
Oklahoma City, March 19, 2004 — For the first time in seven years, Six Flags is launching a national advertising campaign and introducing a mysterious new icon representing family fun.
The surprisingly spry, bald-headed character featured in the television spots travels in a colorful retro style bus bringing his signature music - “We Like to Party” by the Vengaboys - and an irresistible invitation to leave the boredom, stress and pressures of everyday life behind, to families across America. He quickly has Dad dropping the rake, Mom putting down the garden hose, and Junior abandoning the lawn mower in an easy decision to take the short trip to Six Flags and a day filled with sheer enjoyment.

The Princes are coming…
You may remember earlier this year when I mentioned that I had been working as a Producer on an untitled, ultra-secret reality TV project that had no name, no details, and had for all intents and purposes…never existed.
Well, now that FOX has let the cat out of the bag and started airing the promos for the show The Princes of Malibu (Premieres 7/10, 8:30pm) — I figured I would spend a little time talking about the project. The show, by the way, has nabbed a pretty decent slot between The Simpsons and Family Guy which can only mean one of two things.
1. FOX loves the show.
2. FOX thinks it’s an extremely animated show.

Today, WFME introduces a brand-new feature chock full of idiocy, lunacy, and the letter “C”. In fact, if you look and count up all the letter C’s throughout this post, you’ll also find out the truth to the DaVinci Code.
Really, I try to offer up as many extras as possible for the readers.
WFME’s You Decide! is a new feature where you, the reader, well…decide. Um. So, yeah. You just decide! It’s as simple as that and it promotes communication and goodwill between you, and…well, everyone else who does their own deciding but decides to post about their decision in the process.
Yup.

It’s good to be back in Cali.
Much like Conan feels when he comes back from a week broadcasting in Vegas, or much like The Today Show after a week on the French Riveria, I can finally feel their pain. There is fatigue and lunacy and a bit of the “I feel like the food I ate on the plane” disease.
I’d like to share a harrowing experience which I had on an American Airlines flight today from Boston’s Logan Airport to the San Francisco Airport. (Yes, American Airlines is also the sponsor of that wonderful American Airlines Ticket Challenge Program.) Since they no longer serve food on planes (yes, it’s simply ludicrous) — they at least are caring enough to charge you three bucks for a box of crap, er, snacks.

(My cell phone rings, in the damn middle of the night.)
Me: Ngggth…hello?
Kate: Ohmygodohmigodohmygod!!
Me: Mom?
Kate: You. Are. Not. Going. To. Believe. This!!!!
Me: Is Dad OK?
Kate: Snap out of it, Pauly. It’s me. Kate.
Me: (Long sigh)
Kate: Hello!?
Me: Yeah, yeah. I’m here.
Kate: Did Tom call you yet?
Me: Two days ago. To ask me to join him in all the glory that is Scientology.
Kate: Ohmigodohmigodohmigod, what did you say?
Me: I told him yes, Kate. I told him yes.
Kate: Teehee. Which is exactly what I told him!
Me: Yeah, he already told me.
