Get Ready

Hello friends,

I would like to formally announce my candidacy to take over the position currently held by Oprah Winfrey. I will go on yo-yo diets, choose books, give away crap and interview people without faces. I will carry the banner. I will be the greatest talk show host to ever live. I will be an icon to middle-aged women everywhere. If I tell them to jump, they will jump. If I tell them to stand on their heads for 25 minutes, it's a done deal.

Once I get the show rolling along, I will start my own production company called Tap. I will become the publisher of my own lifestyle magazine, P. I will go on vacations with my "friends." I will star in movies directed by famous dudes. I will rename my one-bedroom apartment "The Promised Land." I will befriend Maria Shriver and date Roger Ebert.

I will be everything Oprah is and more. Please, please, please: I beg for your support. You know I will do a wonderful job. I will even let Tom Cruise jump on my couch, even if I secretly wish it was Katie Holmes. The first book that I will choose for book club will be "Everyone Poops."

Thank you for your time and patience. Send all campaign donations to Pat Ferrucci, New Haven Register. I will spend them on beer.

I love you all and, of course, God Bless.

-Patrick Richard Ferrucci

I give it a notional O.K.... I'm just a little concerned over how often we're going to have to endure "special musical gues" Carrie Underwood.

P.S.
I especially look forward to the annual Christmas "My Favorite Things" giveaway show. Audience members will truck away with lots of beer and rice balls. Cool.

I viewed your complete profile & I didn't understand: What is your relation with Egypt?! Why did you put the word "Egyptian" in your blog's title?! Can I know, please?

Well, it doesn't appear that we'll be getting a new blog before the big day (and by big day, I'm referring of course to "Black Friday Eve").

So - from all your compatriots out here in the blogosphere, here's hoping that you, Little Nicholas and all manner of Ferrucci family members have a gastronomically insane Thanksgiving, fulled with many brewed beverages and tiny orbs of Uncle Ben.

Have a great holiday! -

Don't want to appear obsessed?

Why, that's one of the most endearing, seemingly unexplainable aspects of your pathology that we find most endearing!
