Design on your own time!

Good morning friends and family,

Do you know a famous person? Would you like to?

That’s right! It’s time to talk about Andrew T’s Notoriety!!!

Okay, so, like, it’s really hard to get super famous these days. You can either do something really impressive that everybody notices OR you can just wait for currently famous people to retire. Retire or Die.

Now, with you’re help, I am a great position to take advantage of both. Like a day when they’re offering both free coffee AND free donuts, I am in a great position to take advantage of both. When someone left the Gun store unattended and the bank vault open, I am in a great position to take advantage of both. LIKE DRUNK TWINS, I am in a great position to take advantage of both…wow. Maybe that’s why I’m not famous.

Regardless, I need your help. As I’m harping constantly, the countdown for Andrew T and the Dynamo Elite is on. Once that runs out, so does a significant portion of my fame-portunity. So please, tell your friends and family about the show. Get them to listen. Get them to join this Facebook Group. Get them to love me just a little bit more than they love you. Then you can all know a famous person.

Some other things of note: In an effort to beef up my fame quotient, I have a new website called http://www.drivewayfarerdrive.com/ You should check that out…for my sake. Also, you should help fund my famousness by donating to my radio show on October 20th. And finally, I will continue my quest to get noticed tonight on the airwaves, 93.3fm CFRU http://www.cfru.ca/ from 10pm-12am.

Oh! Also, think about it, if you help out a famous person, then a famous person can help out you. I can be helpful in all kinds of ways. It’s like having your own famous butler.

The Siren Song of the Porcupine King

People, there are seven major countdowns going on in my life right now. Because that’s the thing about countdowns: You can’t stop them.

Those Countdowns are, in order of farthest away:

1. When I die.

It is really hard to find a clock that counts down from infinite years in the future. I know I will never die, but I need a clock like that just as an act of solidarity.

2. When Andrew T and the Dynamo Elite ends

Don’t cry…yet. Andrew T and the Dynamo Elite will be halting as you currently know it in May 2010. I know that the Mayan calendar ends in 2012, but that just means we’ll all be empty husks of people for the final two years.

3. Andrew T and the Dynamo Elite Fundraising Supreme

October 20th. There will be prizes. There will be games. There will be food. There will be merriment. Most importantly, you will give me money. Stay tuned for more info.

4. The Rinse Cycle on my washing Machines

I like to know that my clothes are really, really clean. I feel that the extra rinse cycle, normally reserved only for large loads, drowns the heck out of any dirt left in the shirts and in the pants. Especially the shirts. Those smooth, vibrant, poly-cotton blended…shirts.

5. Tonight’s Show

It happens at 10pm whether you like it or not. And you will like it. You will like it so much that you will listen all the way until 12am. On CFRU 93.3fm. Or http://www.cfru.ca/

6. Lunch

Lunch time is now! I’m scarfing it down! That sounds kind of gross!

and finally,

7. Andrew T learning how a drive-thru works.

Frankly people, the time for me to grasp this has passed. Like they always say, you can’t teach an old Andrew T things that he shouldn’t known before. I’m now stuck with a life of getting out of my car and going in to order food. I may just stick to food courts so I don’t look like a weirdo. Or I’ll hire a personal chef! Yeah, that’s what I’ll do! I’ll hire a chef, and pay her to go and drive my imitation Gadget-Mobile through the nearest burger joint drive through! It’ll be like the future never happened. Turn back the clock on this one, because I just learned a valuable lesson.

If you want to just learn some crap I’ll say on the radio tonight, then please tune in.

Tune in anyways.

Various Nefarious

Ugggghhhhh………Blarggghhhh………Bleeeehhhhhh…..

Ohhhhhhh noooooo….I ate some grapes (not too many) but one of them was bad and now my stomach feels awful……

Blarrrrrrrgh…..Uhhhhhh…..Nughhhhhhhh…..

It feels like it wants to explode to purge it’s stomach memory of the disgusting thing I put in my mouth………

ooooooooohh…….This is the worst after-breakfast tuesday morning in recent memory………

bleckkkk……it’s coming in only second to the after-breakfast tuesday morning that I’m remembering only because I live blogged the horror of it……

hurumphhhhh………the one where I woke up to find that I had shared my bed with the…….

BLARGHH….with the lady who puts cream on my shoulders, knees, heels, and elbows…..

Huckk….basically anywhere on my body that has a rounded point….

Bleh Bleh Vleh……It was horrible because I thought we’d slept together or anything (we had, but we were married so it was A-OK)……

Lubalaaaahhh….ignoring the fact that we weren’t married to each other, but to our respective jobs, her to cream application and me to the Dynamo Elite…….

Fraaaaappp…..No, it was awful because when I woke up, it was apparent that she’d stolen all the pillows in the night. Even the orthopedic one I put under my hip. Especially the orthopedic on I put under my hip. And I spent the next seven hours being so terrified for my posture and whether I would inevitably file my taxes on time…or not…….

REEEEEEAAAAAGGGGHHH…….

But this morning is almost worse….sorry for all the noises of my pain and discomfort……

poooooojjjeeeee……life shouldn’t be this tough……

meeeeerrrrrrtttt…..But you know what’s not tough? Andrew T and the Dynamo Elite. Well, we’re tough, but we’re easy to take. We go down smooth like chocolate malt. And we’re on the radio tonight! From 10pm-12am on CFRU 93.3fm OR http://www.cfru.ca/

Now please excuse me while I either go curl up in a ball and die, or puke my butts off. Either way, I’ll be good and ready to dazzle you on the show.

P.S. Did you know that Dogs can get poisoned by eating too many raisins or grapes?

P.P.S. OOOOMMMMPPPPPHHHH!!! BBBBLLLLAAAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!

In the end, Cryptozoology is kind of lame.

Big News!

As most of you know, Andrew T and the Dynamo Elite is on a slow road to hell. I mean, the countdown is on. The end is nigh. 7 months nigh, but nigh nonetheless.

All of that being said, and that took a lot to all say, Andrew T and the Dynamo Elite is not going to go out with a whimper. It is going out with a bang! It’s going out with a ka-pow! It’s going out with the Surf and Turf platter, but we ain’t gonna eat it!!!

So the point is that things are happening. Everyday. The Dynamo Elite is going to be going through a lot of exciting and unexciting changes over the next little while to keep it as exciting as ever. It will not go down without a fight.

Now all of this set up has been to introduce the new that none other than the one and only Scotty D will be joining the show as a regular co-host! Yay! He’ll be on the show pretty much all the time now, doing things I’m feeling too lazy to do: co-hosting, selecting music, combing my hair, and combing his hair! Isn’t that exciting!

What isn’t exciting is that this will not change much of how the show is run. Do you like Andrew T and the Dynamo Elite the way it is? Then it’s still great! Do you not like Andrew T and the Dynamo Elite? Then stay disappointed! Doesn’t matter to me!

I think the biggest question on all o’ y’all’s mind is will the name of the show change now? Will it be called…something other than Andrew T and the Dynamo Elite, in order to highlight the much appreciated hard work Scotty D will be putting into the show?

No.

That’s ridiculous.
I can’t think of a dumber idea than to do that. There’s something seriously wrong with people who asked me that. Jeez.

93.3 FM

Tune in tonight to hear Scotty D’s first official show as an official co-host! There will be other guests! No Prizes! Some light petting and crying!

That last one’s mostly just me.
