OLD FASHION DONUT DRAMA!!!



Good People, Yesterday I announced that I was not going to eat donuts anymore and guess what happened? I stirred some major drama with the people who comment on my site.

HERE IS THE ORIGINAL POST:

Had a donut for breakfast today. After eating it... I made a decision...

NO MORE DONUTS FOR WADE!
SERIOUSLY!

Look out ladies at the Jersey Shore!

Donuts are not good for you. I want to show off my ab(s) this summer. So, now it's no to donuts!

Gonna start eating salads and that kind of stuff now.

Feeling less bloated already.

_____________________


AND
HERE ARE THE COMMENTS TO THE POST:


Get real. A salad is a prelude to a big f-ing steak and potatoes...not a meal itself.

The ladies at the boardwalk won't mind.

(Betsy)

RAINY TUESDAY! WADE GETS HOSED!


I was unable to go to Dunkin Donuts in Hoboken due to the rain (had to take an alternative route to the PATH Train). So when I got into NYC I NEEDED my morning ICED COFFEE, so I hit a ritzy deli and got HOSED - 3 bucks for a crappy iced coffee.



In OTHER BIG WADE NEWS, HERE'S THREE NEW PEOPLE WHO HAVE WADE SHIRTS


Mr. Eric "Don't Call Me Ben, But you can call me Shempy, or ERIC THE RED" Flanders --

WADE'S DYLAN CONCERT RECAP:


I got into the show... (not the way I thought I would, but I appreciate all who tried to help me with tickets etc, I know full well you guys tried).

Merle Haggard stole the show. The aging legend went on before Dylan and really rocked the house. He was incredible, great band, great songs, great performer, great little stories and asides. BRAVO!


Dylan... man... I really love the guy, don't get me wrong. Solid 'B' grade. I've seen him twice before and this was the worse show I've seen of his. The band was tight, and they really rocked. And it wasn't like Dylan wasn't trying. And yes, it was great seeing him perform. He just didn't bring his 'A' game.








PEOPLE AT THE SHOW:
I am not bragging, just stating the facts. Lot of rich, wimpy looking people at the show. This was the first concert where I felt like I could probably kick anybody's butt if I wanted to.

(Not Jodi though -yes, Jodi who comments on this blog, was there as well, though I didn't see her because I was in the standing nosebleed section of the Beacon -though I am not complaining).

TURKEY CLUB LEAVES WADE FEELING SO GOOD!



So good!

Just ate a turkey club sandwich from COZY SOUP N' BURGER DINER IN ASTOR PLACE.

Damn, it was goooood!

Sinuses are bugging me, but that helped in a big way.

My Co-worker Andrew got a chicken wrap and said it sucked!

I told him he should have had the old Turkey Club. But did he listen? NOPE!

OTHER FOOD PLANS FOR THE DAY:
Later on today I plan on getting a hot fudge sundae at McDonald's.
For $1.09 it's a little taste of heaven.

The NY POST TV SECTION is saying that NBC SPORTS PRODUCER JIM BELL COULD BE THE NEXT EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF 'THE TODAY SHOW'. I've worked with Jim many weekends at NBC Sports and he is a great guy.

INTERACTIVE BLOG #10 WINNERS


WE ARE CELEBRATING OUR 10 WEEK ANNIVERSARY OF THE 'INTERACTIVE BLOG',

HERE'S HOW IT ALL WORKS!:
WE NEED CAPTIONS FOLKS FOR THIS PHOTO!!!!
Captions that you, the visitor to this blog think best represents the photo.


HERE ARE THIS WEEK'S WINNERS:

_______________________________________


OVERALL WINNER OF BEST CAPTION:
Dear Friends: 1986 sure was a big year for the Wades. Dad (center) decided that he'd had enough of the "corporate world" and is giving the rock scene a try. Unfortunately, Grandma (left) had to be committed to a rest home. Her health is fine, and as you can see from this picture, her elective "surgery" turned out just fine. But her odd decision to marry Stan "Ike" Schlumpert from down the street came as a real shocker. Young Adam (right) continues to "try and find himself." We're not optimistic.
-- Wade Family Christmas Card, 1986
Ed Shirak Jr., aka Patty Fitz, aka the #14 Ranked Dart play in Hoboken


BEST CAPTION THAT... KEEPS IT REAL!:
In my America, it doesn't matter if you're black or white or kinda grayish: every man, woman or a combination of the two, has the right to be a big fat freak.
Flanders Shempy


BEST COURTSIDE COMMENTARY CAPTION:
Outside the courthouse, Michael Jackson couldn't believe how much Gary Coleman and Emmanual Lewis had grown since he'd seen them last.
Lonny


BEST NON-CAPTION BY SOMEONE WHO LOVES SOY MILKSHAKES:
This is not a caption ... just an observation/comment: That is the WORST Michael Jackson "look-alike" I've ever seen.
Jodi

LOTTA PEOPLE AT WORK...



...Aren't washing their hands after going potty. I mean a SERIOUS AMOUNT OF PEOPLE (MEN'S ROOM)!!!!


SERIOUSLY!!! I refuse to shake anybody's hand at this place.

FINALLY AFTER 3 DAYS MY BLOG IS WORKING!.


Currently I am trying to finish editing the movie about....

THE ITALIAN TUNA!

It's looking good!!!!!!

SINUS UPDATE!:
Sinuses are starting to act up. Feeling woozy!

GREAT NIGHT OUT WITH THE BOYS:
Last night I had a great time out with Pat D (best bartender in Hoboken), Sir Walter, Cousin "Happy" John and Nickolai (aka the #1 Dart Player in Hoboken). Maybe it's not the sinuses... maybe I'm a little hungover.

SOX UPDATE:
My boy Manny had 4 homers in less than 24 hours. WOW!

DUSTIN HOFFMAN IN THE NY TIMES

YIKES, this really caught my eye yesterday reading my buddy Barry from NBC Sports' discarded Sunday NY Times Arts section.


From
Dustin Hoffman Stops Trying So Hard
By MANOHLA DARGIS

Mr. Hoffman brings a similar erotic intensity to a scene in "Lenny," when the comic locks his future wife, a bodacious stripper (the glorious Valerie Perrine), in his gaze. It's the look of the little guy, the guy who wasn't captain of the team or big man on campus, the guy who has to work harder to get the girl. The guy who knows that for the seduction to work she has to see not just him, but his desire, has to believe that no one else anywhere, any place, wants her more.

2 LOVES, 1 WADE! 'IT' and B/W COOKIE


Friday is here and the IT (aka the ITALIAN TUNA) is in my work fridge!
Yes, today I made the trip to Fiore's in Hoboken, grabbed the Italian Tuna and headed to the PATH STATION.

I got one for my boss Claresa. She is from Texas and is Italian. We'll see what she thinks. I figure she's gonna love it!

FYI: John from Fiore's (he's is awesome!), mentioned that there is a buzz going on in Hoboken now about the 'IT'.

DESSERT:
Yep, gonna go out and grab myself a B/W cookie.

WADE REMEMBERS THE GLORY DAYS OF STRAT-O-MATIC BASEBALL!


For a bunch of summers growing up...

I would play this board/stat baseball game with my brother Matty and MATT AND ROB HERMANN. Matt and Rob Hermann(brothers) had their garage sort of made into a porch for the summer. They moved their couch and TV in there and we would play this game every night!

Good times!!!!

ASTOR PLACE SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN!

Yes, it was the lunch special but I am feeling bloated.

STRANGE DREAM LAST NIGHT FOR WADE:



I had nachos and a few beers at THE FARSIDE in Hoboken (yes, the kitchen is open again - can't bring in food anymore), and a couple of Bud Lights.

Yes, I watched the Sox lose to the Yanks but Schill looked good (besides the back to back homers) KEEP THE FAITH SOX NATION!!!!

I had a strange dream last night (it could have been the product of the nachos, nursed beers and the Sox losing).

Jimmie Dale Gilmore (a somewhat famous singer, and WADE favorite) lived next door to me and... wrote a song that became a huge hit.

The song of course was about me!!!!

Here are the lyrics I remember - no joke!!!!

WADE... A little Waaaaade!
He's the man!
Champagne hair (??????)
Eats plums and pears.
Lookout buddy
Stop and Stare
At little Waaaaaade!
He's a SUPERDUDE!
He's a SUPERDUDE!

Exactly what does DUNKIN DONUT MAN do?

ITALIAN TUNA C-BLOCK INSPIRES PEOPLE TO WONDER!

THIS IS THE ORIGNAL POST!!!!!!
______________________

ITALIAN TUNA C-BLOCKS WADE,
NO JOKE!

Last night I struck up a conversation with a very nice young woman at a local Hoboken Bar. And... I don't mean to brag but things were going well (yes, there was an actual conversation). And the more we talked, the more I found myself sounding boring!!!

It's not insecurity, it's just I was a wee bit tired and ran out of interesting things to say (that's a miracle). Though I guess I could've given the girl a complement.

A lightbulb went off over my head!

So... I looked at her right in the eyes and said, "I am making a movie about Tuna Sandwiches."

A moment later I found myself alone at the bar with a warm Bud Light.

The 'IT' C-BLOCKED ME! This was a first.


(FYI: the meatball hoagie never did that to me)

END OF ORIGINAL POST!


The previous post has led to a roundtable discussion that NEEDS to be moved from the COMMENTS SECTION right onto the site. As folks continue to comment I will add them:



Damn, you are sooo smoooooth. Next time, try showing off some surgery scars, with in-depth commentary. She'll probably throw you down on the floor right there.
Flanders

________________________
You think?
WADE

________________________


She may have thought you were being ... RAUNCHY. I hate to be CRUDE, but, uhm, some people equate "tuna" with -- how do I say this?? -- GIRL PARTS. And "sandwich" -- well, that could be taken to mean a THREESOME.

So maybe she thought you were a PORNOGRAPHER!!!

Feel free to accept (or reject) my theory as you see fit! Thank you for your time.

P.S. Tomorrow night I will be in Hoboken getting a HAIRCUT!!!
Jodi

________________________


jodi
i have to reject your theory


though it's an interesting one

especially since i said, "ITALIAN TUNA SANDWICHES!"
WADE

________________________


wade, did she as least ask you why you are making a movie about italian tuna sandwiches?

it seems to me that the reason the conversation ended was, you were pulling all the weight. a conversation involves two people. the movie about italian tuna sandwiches is a great conversation starter. it could have turned into a discussion about food, film. like a-rod yesterday, she dropped the ball.
deano


____________________


Hate to tell you this Adam, but I think Jodi's theory is right on.
Julie

Wade:
Perhaps she has an aversion to that KIND of sanwich. Next time you see her, try to weave in references about:

** Spiced ham and provolone;
** Tongue, lettuce and tomato;
** Hot pastrami on rye; and
** Fluffer-Nutter.

See what happens.
Ed Shirak Jr.

_____________________


Please ladies, I explained to the young woman that it wasn't porn or related to 'Women's Issues'.
I think Deano could be right on the money

Ed Jr, I just re-read yours. What is a fluffer-nutter?

WADE

_________________________


What is Fluffer-Nutter? You are a communist. Often confused with something named for a stage hand on a porn set, its actually a sandwhich made with peanut butter and marshmallow fluff.

Peanut butter and fluff blows your Italian tuna out of the water!....(and its also a better sandwhich...)

Thank you... Thank you very much...
Ed Shirak

BREAKING NEWS ON THE ITALIAN TUNA C-BLOCK FORUM-
THIS JUST IN (MON NIGHT):


pardon the silence wade, i have been travelling . now, about the IT-C bomb. The problem is not that IT is too raunchy, it is that tuna =bad breath. Do you remember Chelsea's post about IT, and how she admitted right up front that it looks disgusting but tastes great? being very girly myself, I would wager that before you talk about things like tuna sandwhiches, mayonaise, sloppy joes or even barf and poop, you have to ally yourself to ones more prissy sensibilities by saying in a conspiratorial whisper -- "i know this sounds gross..."(after that disclaimer, even the most priggish will happily indulge in almost any topic).

now i know nothing about the IT sounds gross to you, and maybe i'm alone here on your blog, but i thought i would be daring and say what i really think. tuna makes me think of mayonnaise, and mayonnaise is a turn off.
jasmine

_______________________


I appreciated/respect and will take note of your comments Jasmine!
Thanks.

ps

There's no mayo though in the IT

Wade: As your fellow Italian Tuna documentarian...I gotta say let's keep this all very simple.Jasmine is right. Julie and Jodi: wrong. No ffing way did she think you were a pornographer that's just insane.It's very simple: tuna does smell bad and is incredibly unsexy. Your instinct should have told you that. (And, by the way, meatballs wouldn't have fared much better.)--------Additional reading material for extra credit: It's odd, I was actually JUST discussing this with someone and we were agreeing that most people like tuna sandwiches, but it's still sort of embarassing to order one. Because it stinks and it's almost like kiddie food. Very unglamourous. In conversation, you could have said you were making a short film about one of the best sandwiches in Hoboken and that there's this ancient, historic Italian place called Fiore's that has this incredible homemade mozzerella and seeded italian rolls...etc...then worked your way into they have this imported italian tuna that is unlike anything you've ever tasted....and they COMBINE it, in the seeded bread, with the fresh mozzerella...I've gone on too long, but you get the idea. Just don't talk to any hot girls about Blimpies. YOU KNOW WHY.

wade, the idea of you making a movie about an italian tuna sandwich is what is interesting, for some of the reasons CP and others mentioned above (e.g. it is a somewhat embarrassing order). if you were, say, making a movie about pizza, how interesting would that be? most people love pizza, but where is the intriguing angle? the IT has a number of interesting hooks: the somewhat offensive smell, the awkward wonder of what your breath must smell like after eating one. the disclosure of your itentions of making a movie about the IT was no problem, but the woman's lameness was on that night. maybe if you were to make a movie about foie gras, she would have been intrigued.
