Whad’Ya Know
Those who dish it must also take it. And it’s take time. On
Saturday, June 20th, your Pesky columnist was invited to be a guest on
Michael Feldman’s popular talk/game show Whad’Ya Know?, which
airs locally on WKNO FM. Everything was going fine until Feldman, a
gracious host with the wit of a lost Marx brother, asked this trick
question: “So what have you gotten yourself into lately?”
When I told him that I’d been visiting a school for would-be
professional wrestlers, he asked, “Is that the Terry Lawler School of
Wrestling?”
“No,” I answered, not seeing the point in telling him it’s Jerry
Lawler. “The man who started this school wrestled as Mike the
Nightmare.” Except the school actually was founded by second-generation
grappler Nightmare Ken Wayne. So, on behalf of the entire Whad’Ya
Know? crew, I would like to personally apologize to both Lawler and
Wayne for getting their names wrong. It was early. Coffee was in short
supply. Please don’t pile-drive us. Please.

According to local news sources, 41-year-old Augustus Hudgins was
taken into custody for exposing his engorged man-parts in public.
Hudgins told police officers that, although it might look like he was
choking his chicken in Court Square, it was all a misunderstanding.
Hudgins explained that he was only “giving his penis some air.” The
Fly-Team collectively agreed that this excuse would have come in handy
when we were 13.

A glowing report at examiner.com
had some interesting things to say about the director of The Little
Dog Laughed, a play currently at Circuit Playhouse: “Hysterical,
director Jerry Chipman calls the play ‘good medicine.’ But the laughter
is treating which ailment? When Chipman answers that question, his
bright, blue eyes slouch toward gray.” Hysterical and slouchy-eyed?
We’d hate to see a pan.
