A Special Announcement Concerning A New Blog. Trina.

Let's face it. Blogging isn't what it used to be. What I mean is that the interaction with people is not what it used to me. Twitter is really where it's at for that.

And back in the day I used to promote blogs if I really liked them. Long time readers know this.

Well guess what? My favorite person on Twitter that cracks me up daily just started a blog. I kind of encouraged her to do it. I've done that to a few people that I think are really funny or interesting.

Her name is Trina. You may know her from this blog post the other week. Or this blog post about the Phantom of the Opera mask.

Well, the bottom line is that she cracks me up everyday. So follow her blog and tell her Zibbs sent you. Her blog is: trinalikeswine.blogspot.com . Go ahead. Give it a click!

I've Got A Confession. Twitter And WCLinda.

I, Dr Zibbs ( @DrZibbs on Twitter) and WcLinda (@wclinda on twitter) are the same person. It's true.

I started the WCLinda character a few months and was planning to do one of several things:

- Show up to a tweet up in drag as WCLinda and out myself.
- Have my sister show up at a tweetup as WCLinda to confirm she was actually real.
- Have her stalk DrZibbs. They did actualy imply that they met for drinks the other night. And then I also had her drunk tweeting the other night.

But as time went on, I started to feel guilty that people were going to feel tricked. In a bad way. As opposed to, "Oh my God that was great...hahaha."

I think maybe four people knew. One found out accidentally when I accidentally Dmed from my WCLinda account.

So there it is. Thanks for the memories. So did any of you have your suspicions? I know one person that did but I think she knew 100 percent it was me.

Please share your thoughts in the comments area.

I Can't Stop Laughing! Phantom of the Opera Mask.

OK. I had one of those can not stop laughing but am about to explode like when I wasn't allowed to laugh in church moments early yesterday morning. You know, when you're dying to totally crack up but you can't?

And I blame my Twitter friend @Trilee33. She's hysterical and seriously could be a comedy writer. Her tweets make me laugh so hard. She's of the funniest people I follow - including professional comedians.

Here's how it got to the point of me sitting at my desk and losing control and then trying as hard as I could not to laugh as my shoulders were shaking up and down:

My Tweet: I wonder if I walked into Wawa and started singing The Rose if people would gather round - some kneeling - or if they would just kick me out?

Her Tweet: Cool...I'm trying Phantom of the Opera at Stop n Shop, Foxboro. Will use a boneless chicken breast as the horrifying facial mask.

Well just the visual of using a boneless chicken breast on her face almost had me bursting into laughter. But I contained it.

My Tweet: You should start the performance by very slowly peaking into the window...the normal part of your face showing first. "Oh look...
...it's just a normal looking person looking in at us....OH MY GOD!!!!!!"

She tells me she just spit out her coffee and I tell her I can't stop laughing at the site of her slowly emerging into view with a makeshift boneless chicken breast on her face that's supposed to look like a Phantom of the Opera mask (revealing herself the way Noblet does on Strangers with Candy when he peaks into a classroom)

My Tweet: The "OH MY GOD" screams coming when they see your horribly disfigured boneless chicken face. (An old lady faints at the sight)

She tweets: I just spit out my coffee (old lady fainting)...

Now I'm dying laughing. So I have to control myself and I take a few minutes to do something else.

She then says that the boneless chicken breast has to be fastened to the face with twine. All I can think of is a mangled mess of chicken. Scary music playing as she tries to cut the eyehole out with kitchen shears but then the eyehole is too big so she has to use the twine to hold it together.

And the twine is also used to wrap around the back of the head to hold it in place. But it slips down so she has to keep it in place by wearing a hat. HAHAHA!

OK. I'm cracking up again just thinking about this.

So after this, I'm completely trying to hold it together when I see there's an email from her. I'm so about to burst that the sight of seeing that "1 new message" icon even put me back into shoulders shaking trying to conceal my laughter mode that I had to close down my email.

Well, maybe you had to be there but it was the most I've laughed in weeks.

BREAKING NEWS: TBY SNAGS INTERVIEW WITH CRAIG BIERKO.

As you know, many celebs follow Dr Zibbs on Twitter. They also follow my Father Kelly character. One of these people is Craig Bierko. To see what he's done, click here. (You can follow him on Twitter @MrCraigBierko . Please do so, and tell him Dr Zibbs sent ye).

And now, ladies and gentleman, I give you Craig Bierko:

Before we begin, Dr. Zibbs, may I just say what an honor it is for me
personally to be interviewed by someone like yourself who, despite a
total lack of access to actual show business, has nevertheless -
through shear pluck and good will - managed to hook AND pull a big
fish like me into the boat. Good for you - and, if I may, good for
America.
Just felt that needed to be said. Okay, fire away - show 'em how it's done!

1) Who are some of your celeb friends?

What are you, retarded? You kidding me? "Who are some of my celeb
friends?" And did you really just say "celeb"? Like you don't have the
time in your busy day of sleeping in, masturbating and tweeting me for
favors to say "rity"?
"Celeb friends" like you're Rona Barrett. Idiot.

2) Do you have any celebrity arch enemies?

It's the second question and I already hate you. Actual hate. Not
dislike. I dislike Hitler, cancer and "iCarly." You, I hate - and not
only that, I long to beat you to death with your own shoe.

3) You are one of the tallest famous people. Which means your probably
one of the best fighters. Who couldn't you beat up in a fight?

(Craig just stares. After ten minutes, not having so much as blinked,
he is audibly snoring)

4) You were originally cast as Chandler in Friends. Are you kind of
glad you didn't get the part because people would still sing that
stupid theme song to you as you walked the streets?

Well, it's a compelling question - and certainly one that I haven't
been asked by and endless parade of socially tone deaf, bottom-feeding
corpse tripe zombies like yourself - so, congratulations up front on
that, right off the bat. Once again, you could've asked me anything -
why not ask the one thing I'm quoted on everywhere on the web?
But, to answer your question, I appeared on the first three seasons of
Friends as the seventh friend "Glenn" - but the role just didn't seem
to gel with the overall tone of the show and, in retrospect, maybe
Glenn shouldn't have addressed the camera directly and rolled his
eyes whenever one of the other characters said something sarcastic. I
take responsibility for that choice because the producers asked me to
stop talking to the cameras on numerous occasions.
Also, it was a very tense set because I was dating Courtney, Lisa and
Jen at the same time - so they all hated each other and I think it
shows on screen.
Ultimately, the decision to leave was mine - though the idea of firing
me originated with everyone else. The idea of Glenn lighting himself
on fire to protest underpaid Wal-Mart greeters was pitched by
Courtney, Lisa and Jen, I believe. That was real fire by the way -the
cast insisted we make Glenn's death as real as possible for the sake
of the comedy and I didn't want to cause any more tension than I
already had so I agreed - and that's why I'm covered head to toe with
these knotty oozing scars, by the way. Anyway, it was a cute scene.

5) You were hysterical in Scary Movie 4. Do you have plans to do more comedy?

Yes.

6) According to Wikipedia, you've been "involved with" Charlize
Theron, Gretchen Mol, Janeane Garofalo and Meg Ryan. What does
"involved with" EXACTLY mean and more importantly, did my name come
up?

You're clearly not employed - so there's no network weasel standing
over your shoulder telling you to stop masturbating so much and
demanding that 65% of the questions you ask appeal to the tastes of
the "short forehead" set - so why would you spend the precious gift of
your non-corporatized, totally unrestrained yippie-ay-oh-ky-ay,
rootin' tootin' motherfucking journalistic cowboy freedom on some
stupid question unworthy of the dumbest, soul-dead Entertainment
Tonight cunterviewer?

Good god, Zibbs - men and women in uniform are getting blown apart
into dog food, scraped off the walls of Iraq and Afghanistan to ensure
your freedom of speech - and this is how you honor them? By asking the
guy from "Scary Movie 12" where he placed his pud? Man, I can't wait
for the sweet, sweet giddy release of beating you to death with your
own shoe.

7) When will me...Dr Zibbs and Father Kelly be doing a project
together? I'm thinking maybe a Father Kelly drama. I'd like to cast
you as the Pope.

Fuck you.

Thanks again!

Is there lunch? I was told I'd be given lunch.

I Admit It. I'm Addicted To Twitter. Chester County And Beyond.

HI. I'm @DrZibbs and I'm addicted to Twitter. But I really don't feel guilty because I always have my computer on at work and at home and I also have Twitter on my blackberry. So pretty it's pretty much always there. It's great for multitaskers.

When you try to explain Twitter to people that aren't on it they look at you like you're crazy. The way I look at it is that there are hundreds of people in my Twitter network that are talking about stuff. And I can chime in at anytime, usually with a smart ass comment. It's probably like the party lines of the 80's that I never went on because I wasn't a loser...OK..It's probably nothing like that but..

The people I follow are either locals, people that follow my blog, people that are really interesting or funny and some professional comedians and actors that are funny.

On the local scene it's been great. I've probably met about 30 people in the area in real life that are on Twitter. And everyone's been respectful of keeping my Dr Zibbs identity a secret.

On Thursday I was sitting out with my wife at Kildare's in West Chester having some drinks and saw 3 people from Twitter that I've met. Then I saw someone I've never met but introduced myself. It's always great to see the reaction on someone's face when I say, "I'm Dr Zibbs".

Then on Friday I was having a beer with a friend and when he left, I told someone on Twitter to meet me at Ryans Pub. The next thing you knew there were about 10 people there including a few more that I've never met in person.

On my @FatherKelly account I tweet stuff that's intended to be funny. It's a great creative outlet. I've met and have corresponded with some professional comedians that follow me and have told me that they think I'm really funny. So, I've got THAT going for me.

No time to edit this post to make it interesting but there you go. I'll probably think of more things to say and ad them to the comments section.

Real Live Ex Stripper Interview. Jezebel The Great.

Twitter is an interesting place. As I mentioned, I have my @DrZibbs profile and my @FatherKelly profile. On my Father Kelly profile I don't interact with people. But if it's a celeb or someone really interesting or funny I'll direct mail them and tell them that I have the Dr Zibbs account.

A few months ago I did that exact thing to Jessie - @Jezebelthegreat* is her Twitter profile. She's one of my fav people on Twitter. Just funny, interesting or smart-assy tweets.

And an on an interesting side note, she used to be an stripper. That's where lady's strip down and dance on stage. Sometimes poles are involved. They actually use the pole in their choreography! Here's an interview I conducted with the always cool Jez the Great over email.

1) What percentage of they guys really believed that the girls liked them and wanted to date them? Would the strippers laugh at how dumb some of the regulars were or did you kind of feel sorry for some of them?

See, this is where I really differ from other dancers. I was always 100% honest with my clientele if I was dating someone, and most of them respected that. I was one of VERY few women who didn't lie or give out fake phone numbers to make more money. I mean, there were some really dishonest dancers there, dancers who would make out with guys in the lapdance area while stealing the money out of their wallets. It was pretty bad.
And yeah, there were a few times that we laughed at the sheer audacity of some of the men who came in there. I once met a guy who said I needed God, invited me to church with him and then a few minutes later, told me he wanted a lapdance...but only if I'd let him "see it." Ugh.

2) So what was it like the first night dancing? Did you practice ahead of time?

I don't remember much about the actual night I started, but I CAN tell you that I wore my first stripper heels around the house for two days beforehand so I wouldn't fall once I got onstage for the first time. I also remember that I felt really, really awkward when I got there. One of the girls made her "regular customer" (a term used in the dancing biz) buy a lapdance from me and I was so nervous I thought I was going to puke (I didn't, thankfully.) Oh, and when I saw the pole for the first time I thought, "Yeah, I'm not so sure I wanna touch that thing. Hand sanitizer? Anybody? No?"

3) The stereotype is that strippers aren't smart but you're smart and hysterical. How did you get into stripping and is that stereotype true in general?

In 2002 I started dating a dancer. In the four months we dated, I went to see her a few times at her job. Her bosses and co-workers told me they needed more girls "with dark hair and big booties." Since I'd just quit my job, I considered it; plus, I'd gained too much weight and I knew dancing would be a great workout. Still, it took a few months to finally gather the courage to do it.
There are three basic stereotypes about dancers, and "being too dumb to do anything else" is one of them. I'm not going to say it IS true, because I've worked with quite a few women who are just as smart as I am (though not as funny...I'm one in a million, man), but at the same time...let's just say I could use big words around some of them and they would just cock their heads and say, "Wha...?"

4) Were there ever cat fights among the girls? And then it spilled out into a back alleyway?

Haha, "back alleyway." We had fights, of course, but most of them took place in the dressing room while someone held the door shut so the bouncers couldn't get in and break them up. I only got in one fight early on, and it happened in front of everyone in the club. After that, I didn't really have to worry about girls messing with me...especially after I started my dominatrix act. I was a little badass.

5)What percentage of clubs are girls "giving a bit extra"? If you know what I mean.

I only worked in five clubs during my dancing career, and only two of them were...lenient? on girls getting away with more than should be allowed. It was a little unnerving to try to do a lapdance when you look over and the girl next to you has some guy's dick in her hand. Yeesh.

6) What made you decide to stop dancing and what are you doing now?

I quit dancing this past June because a) I was 33 years old, I'd been dancing for seven damn years and I'd never planned on making a career out of it; and b) I'd started dating someone here in Detroit (I lived in Oklahoma) and we decided to move me here and "make an honest woman out of me," haha. He was worth quitting for; he's a great guy and he takes good care of me. I like being a nice, normal suburban housewife-type.
Also, there was no way in hell I was going to dance in Detroit. I don't have a death wish, man.

Do you have any questions for her? Ask them in the comments area.

*If you're on Twitter, follow her and tell her Zibbs sent you. She also has a blog that can be found here.

AND, I was too lazy to crop the picture that she to sent me that showed too much butt but to see another link to her click here. And I convinced her to start a blog a few weeks ago. To view that, click here and follow her.

Funniest Craig Bierko Clip. Twitter Follower. Scary Movie 4 And Oprah.

So celeb Craig Bierko is following me on Twitter. His Twitter name is @MrCraigBierko. He's following my @DrZibbs and @FatherKelly accounts. At least I THINK it's him. I'm about 90% sure it's not an impostor.

On Twitter many of the celebs get their accounts verified so you know it's them. Some don't however so you just have to go all Barnaby Jones on their asses to find out.

I'll have to write another post about my additional celeb followers because there are some more recent additions.

But for now, check out this hysterical clip of Craig Bierko from Scary Movie 4 where he plays a Tom Cruise character on the Oprah show.

If you're at work and you can't see video there you really have to watch this when you get home. Or quit. Because it's hilarious!

George Lopez Is An Unfunny Ass. Scott Baio And Huffington Post.

Last night I was watching unfunnyman George Lopez. He's seriously got to be the biggest comedy hack out there.

And don't tell me that you have to be Latina to understand the jokes. He's terrible. It's like his monologue was written by 7th graders.

So last night he showed a tweet that Scott Baio wrote. It was this picture of Michelle Obama:



The actual tweet was, "WOW. He wakes up to this every morning?"

He then goes on to say how Scott Baio is a racist (using unfunny "jokes")

How the hell is what he said racist? Sure, you might say it's mean but it's a picture of a woman yelling. She happens to be black.

The scream of racism has gotten so bad in the last few years. If you say anything about Obama.. you hate black people. If you say we need a common language...you hate Mexicans. If I mention I watch American Idol even though I was just flipping the channels that one time....you call me gay. Jesus Christ!

Scott Baio is now getting death threats. Because of this?

I think Scott Baio should sue George Lopez's ass! (as I said to Scott Baio and can be read on the Huffington Post link here - at the bottom of the page)

What do you think*?

*If you're Puerto Rican please email me your comment and I'll add it after I check your spelling. (Naaaa. Naaa. Naaa)

I Met Some Hot Chester County Chicks The Other Night. Teca.

See the picture above? I just stole it from the blog Enough Hats For Everyone.

You see, I met Kristen and some other local Twitterers at a Ladies Night on Wednesday at Teca in West Chester and Kristen did a great job of summing it up. To read the story, click here.

And note the part where she says I'm "Good Looking and smells nice too". That's my favorite part. I think I'm gonna go back and read that part again.

New Twitter App That Someone Needs To Invent. My Tweets Spoken.

Reading Twitter can sure get tiring. With all that actual reading. Someone need to invent a Twitter app that works like this:

- I send a tweet.
- The tweet is converted from text to my voice.
- As a follower of mine, the technology actually turns the volume up on you phone and "yells" the important tweet that I wrote. This way, everybody gets to hear it. Not just you.

So you'd be in the grocery store and all of a sudden you would hear: "Oh my god! A bird had sex w my aunt and its spawn is singing on jay Leno. Nevermind. Its just manilow".

or - "I wonder if a midget ever got a custom snuggie as a gift and said: wait a minute..you just cut up a wash cloth didn't you?"

or maybe even: "I bet some guy was asked by his wife to pick up staples before a storm and the dumbass came home w actual staples"

Here are a few more to enjoy:

"I wonder if that really tall guy from the show CPO Sharkey was Ed Begley Jr's mutant Frankenstein twin".

"Product idea: Circus Freak Peanuts. (Oooh! I got an orange bearded lady. I can't wait to enjoy it's cardboardy goodness)."

"Ooh. What's that movie the lovely bones about? A nice skeleton family or something?.."

"Mayor McCheese was based off of a real person with a real oversized, hamburger shaped head deformity #ItsFuckinTrue "

"Product idea: scale that has pics of celebs that are your weight each number"

"Tip for foreigners: to a lady don't say, your hair reminds me of the finest quality dry hay in the land "

That's all I got for you today.

You've GOT To Hear Dawn Langstroth. The Voice Of Angel.

As you may know, I love listening to my Ipod.

Sometimes I just need the soothing voices that only ladies like Karen Carpenter, Anne Murray and Norah Jones can provide.

It just soothes my heart. Kind of like when there's an escaped gorilla and they have to bring a violinist in to calm him down so the zoo keeper can get in close enough to shoot him with a tranquilizer dart. You know.

Well anyways, as you may have read in this post, Anne Murray's daughter Dawn Langstroth was reading my @FatherTwitter tweets and told her mom Anne Murray. And now they're BOTH followers*.

So I went onto the YouTube and on Dawn's website and you're not going to believe how great her voice is. I just can't believe how great she sounds! It almost makes me cry. I predict she's going to be a huge star.



*and not to brag but also @DrZibbs followers (stands up straighter and looks around to see if anyone is looking).

Twitter Followers. Paul F Tompkins, Ted Leo, James Urbaniak and MORE!

Here's an update of the celebrities that follow me on Twitter. As you may know, I have my famous @DrZibbs Tweets and my famous @FatherKelly tweets. Ready? And go...

Sarah Silverman @SarahKSilverman - We then sent a few DM's back and forth . She said I was funny (jumps in air and yells, "She thinks I'm funny!" like Rudolph yelling, "She likes me!").

Christina Applegate - mentioned me twice. I've sent her a few DM's (direct messages) but she hasn't responded. Something is probably wrong with her computer. But then one of you a-holes sent me an email saying it was her. OK who was it? Because whoever it was, you really did your research. Nice try. Seriously, who was it? Was it you? What about you?..

Lisa Jane Persky (@lisajanepersky) - actress.

Nina Bargiel (@SlackMistress) TV Writer: Lizzie McGuiere and other stuff.

AnneMurray - Grammy award winning singer. She follows Dr Zibbs and Father Kelly. We've DM'd each other and she's communicated with me via tweets. She said she'd come to the West Chester Christmas Parade and do a duet with me next year. She probably wasn't joking. I put a note in my tickler file to remind me to contact her next November. Keep your fingers crossed.

Dawn Langstroth @DawnLangstroth daughter of Anne Murray . Click on her name to see how hot she is. She was the one that told Anne Murray to follow me. I wonder of the two of them read my tweets at family gatherings. And it's probably become a nice tradition. The Kennedy's played football, The Murrays/Langstroths read my Tweets.

Caissie St Onge @Caissie - Write/Producer of Best Week ever. We Dm's and emailed each other. She also worked on the Letterman Show. Nice.

James Urbaniak @JamesUrbaniak - Actor in various movies including playing R Crumb in American Splendor. Currently does the voice of Dr Venture on The Venture Brothers. I asked him to DM Paul F Tompkins and tell hom to follow me. Which he did.

Paul F Tompkins @PFTompkins - Comedian and actor. I actually know him from when I used to do stand up but I'm glad he's following me. He follows Dr Zibbs and Father Kelly. If you ever get a chance to see his stand up act, check it out. He's hysterical. Or you can buy his new CD - Freak Wharf. It just came out last week.

Ted Leo @Tedleo - Rocker from Ted Leo and the Pharmacists.

Michael Faustino ( @MichaelFaustino ) - He's the brother of David Faustino from Married With Children and was on a few episodes. I'm hoping he gets his brother to follow me. Then I'll only have two people left and I'll have the whole family of Married with Children. It's like playing Twitter Monopoly.

And guess who STOPPED following me? Yup. Chris Daughtry's wife. She must have issues. I don't know.

And that's about it for now. And I'll leave you with this tweet that I actually thought of in a dream last night. I swear to God. Here goes...

"Product Idea: Pants that have printed arrows pointing to the groinage area and the words, 'Doesn't have a boner' - so when you DO have a real boner, people might just think it's a joke."

It's probably over 140 characters but who cares.

Twitter Tweet Up In West Chester Tonight. Chester County. Thanksgiving Eve.

So there is a Twitter Tweet-Up tonight in West Chester at Barnabys. 5:30 until whenever.

Can you imagine the excitement of the attendees? Because they get to meet me? I wonder if they even slept last night. Do you think? Probably not. Here are a few guidelines that I'll be printing on flyers for my adoring fans. Take a few minutes to memorize them before entering the lair* that I'm sure is being built for me as we speak:

- Always remember, when in conversation with me, I like to dictate the tone and pace.

- When listening to one of my hilarious tales, you may think of something that YOU want to add. That is fine. If time allows. (You may want to jot a quick note so you don't forget what your "interesting" story is). If you think the story isn't that interesting, rehearse it with a friend or member of the clergy in the bathroom. Ask them to be honest with you as to whether they think it's something I would want to listen to.

- On first approach, don't look me directly in the eye.

- If you have a gift to present to me, make sure to flaunt it to the others before giving it to me. It will give them a chance to run out and get me a gift so they don't look like a fools.

-Please, no photography. As I've stated before, I will allow charcoal sketches of me and construction paper art as long as the glitter is used at a minimum. There will be scales available for the weight of your glitter. I think it's two ounces. Ask one of my handlers if you don't know how to weigh things. They'll be happy to help.

- But most of all, enjoy yourself.

And speaking of meeting strangers that you only have talked to online, here's a post detailing the account of when I met a few West Chester bloggers. Maybe you know them? To read the story of that classic night last year, click here.

*I hope it has a Roman feel with a dash of 1976. And if I see one piece of tape holding up the streamers I'm out of there. Remember, nothing tacky!

Scotch Plains NJ Here I Come. Some Dude Named Steve. Crotch Pains.

So in about a half hour my wife and I are driving up to Scotch Plains New Jersey to visit our friends Steve and Debbie. You might know Steve by his "trying to be clever" name of CrotchPains. He's left comments on TBY. (See what he did there? Scotch Plains became Crotch Pains? ...With the rhyme and all? ..

Do YOU live near the exotic town of Scotch Plains New Jersey? How are you going to celebrate my visit to the region? Are you going to line the streets with banners and flags? If you do, I am so throwing gum and hard candy out to you. Pretend it's a parade.

It should be a good time. Always a great time with the two of them. We'll probably start drinking right away. Then, tomorrow when I get home, I have our neighborhood beer exchange/Eagles game.

I better go hydrate myself.

And if you follow me in Twitter at @DrZibbs, read my twitter feed and pretend YOU'RE on the trip. Come on, lets go!

A Few Blogs To Check Out. West Chester Blogger. Chester County.

I kind of feel like the golden age of blogging is over. It seems like a lot of the bloggers that used to visit and leave comments on my blog have stopped blogging.

There are also so many blogs out there that are so boring that I can't believe people write them. It's even more amazing when you see that they have a huge following. It's mostly those "Mommy blogs". You mean little Sally said something cute? I don't believe you. Please tell me every detail and explain it as if she just solved the riddle of time*.

The best thing about reading someone's blog over time and reading the comments that they leave is that you really get to know the person. People that don't blog really don't understand it and they just roll their eyes when you try to explain it.

Here are a few blogs I'd like to mention:

Son of a Thomas - Chester County blogger that's been following TBY for a long time. Wish he would blog more. Met him a few times. We still need to have lunch again soon. Bubble up.

Skylers Dad - Funny ass commentor. Never met him but long time TBY follower. I'm sure we'd be good friends if we met. King of finding crappy tattoos.

Caffeine Court - Never met in person but it turns out we went to rival high schools. We've discovered though emailing that we know some of the same people. She's also a great Twitter friend. I think she wants to go to the Whiteland Town Center with me and pretend it's the old Exton Drive-In. (P.S. I had a dream about her last week).

And for someone new:

Enough Hats For Everyone Kristen. We found each other recently on Twitter. She's got a great sense of humor and just recently just started blogging. Very interesting take on things. Always great to find funny and interesting people. And she's into horror movies like me.

So go check out their blogs, follow them and tell them Zibbs sent you.

*Wait. Is there a riddle of time? I don't know. There probably is.

TV's Chris Burke Stars In A Very Important WW2 Play..

"Get Your Eclair's Ready Cause You're Next France!" - a very special Hitler performance starring Chris Burke.

Naaa. Naaaa. Naaaa.

(I just added the picture as my background on Twitter and tweeted the above line. It cracked even my own bad self up that I had to share it)

Father Kelly and My Christina Applegate Connection. Twitter.

So as I mentioned last week, Sarah Silverman is following my Father Kelly character on Twitter:
http://twitter.com/FatherKelly

So the drama continues. On Friday, I noticed that I was getting a few followers every minute. I couldn't figure it out until someone DM's me and told me that Chistina Applegate (AKA @1capplegate) mentioned me on Twitter. She said:

#followfriday umm seriously funny @fatherkelly to any of my catholic followers, please do not take offense. all in good fun

Pretty cool huh? And she only follows 45 people. I look though her feed and she's mentioned Sarah Silverman so I think she found me on the list of who Sarah Silverman is following.

Then, to add the icing on the cake, I get a message from someone at Paste magazine saying I was listed in an article titled, "The Top 10 Unique, Funny or Usefull Twitter Users You Should Follow Right Now". They wrote,

5. Father Kelly - FatherKelly
In which someone in Chester County, Pa. pretends to be a Catholic priest to make religion-themed jokes.
Unique, Funny or Useful: Funny
Best Recent Tweet: A Carnie asked me to bless him. I panicked and said "Uhh..let me go get my magic wand". Then I avoided him.
Runner Up: This is BULLSHIT! I wasn't LEARING at Sister Anne while she was eating that banana! I just happened to be in stare mode!
Extra Credit: The CCD nerds gave me some "art" made from dry macaroni and yarn. Helloooo trashcan.

(To read the entire article, click: here )The weird thing is, I've had my blog since 2006 and no famous people read it (except for this person). Just you guys. I start Twitter with the Father Kelly character and I get two famous people reading it and a magazine mention. What gives?

So who would like to guess what's going to happen next?

(Please don't say "nothing").

And I know it's a bit premature, but once I get 20 famous people reading my Tweets I'm going to have a big party with them and...are you ready for this?...With 20 of you!

So please let me know what YOU can add to the party if I invite you. I will also tell you up front that you might also have to share with the catering duties. It depends how much the party costs.

I'm Famous! Kind of..Breaking News! Sarah Silverman and Twitter.

OK. Hold on and try not to get too excited.

What do the following people have in common:

John Stamos
Blues Traveler
Dave Attell
Judd Apatow
Larry David
And ME have in common?

These people are all being followed by Sarah Silverman on Twitter. It's true. The alter ego that I made up last week on twitter called @FatherKelly is being followed by @SarahKSilverman. And she only follows 116 people.

Don't believe me? Go to my page on twitter here:

I want everyone to know that since I'm probably going to get a call to move to Hollywood soon, I'm not going to forget you people. Well, I won't be able to take your calls or anything because of my new status but I will occasionally skim your blogs.

See you in Hollywood chumps.
