So! Yesterday Splitsider posted a piece I wrote about Steampipe Alley, a thoroughly singular slice of kiddie show weirdness that aired on local NY TV back in the late 1980s/early 1990s. I am very proud of this silliness, and the fact that it made it to the front page of The Awl. (You may catch it there if you hurry!) So if you haven’t read this yet, I encourage you to do. It is one of the few places where you can see Mario Cantone feed worms to Morton Downey Jr. Enjoy!

Me, Elsewhere: The Curious Case of the Ed Grimley Cartoon
I’ve long been obsessed with The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley, a cartoon that aired briefly on NBC in 1988-89, which only I watched and had virtually no right to exist. It starred Martin Short as the titular character and boasted the voice talents of many other SCTV alumni, plus Jonathan Winters. Yeah.
I have now channeled that obsession into a lengthy appreciation/history over at Splitsider, which can read right about…here. Enjoy!
Read About Me Eating!
Daniel Ralston has a great blog called One Dish With Daniel, wherein…well, look, it’s right there in the title, innit? But he asks to sup with awesome people and me too, apparently. We went to CitiField in the recent past and partook of the finest ballpark fare Flushing has to offer. Read all about it here! I promise there are no pictures of me actually eating, which is too much even for the internet.
