Rom Com


"Rom Com"?  What kind of Gimmick Month foolery is this?

Here's my tortured reasoning:  I have two celebrities whose last names begin with the letters R-o-m.  "Rom com" means romantic comedy, and while there may not be romance, I have R-o-m examples, and possibly comedy.


Sports radio talk show host Jim Rome.  No comedy yet...


Actor/comedian Ray Romano.  He's a funny guy, but still no comedy. 


Here's a possible solution: I'll add this bonus Ray Romano photo taken by my co-worker Justin Stangel... 


…along with this photo of Justin which he took himself with the CelebriGum camera when I wasn't looking.  There's a bit of comedy, but we could always use more.

Let me just check my old files and see if I have any other R-o-m celebrities…

Oh, right, I have some guy named Romney.


No comedy there at all.


I think what that photo needs is some Justin.


We seem to have shot past comedy and entered nightmarish hallucination.

  3. Lets cut the Comedy
    I see Mitt Romney
    He must be the remedy
    for the American economy
    or perhaps he's a Ponzi
    running to take our money
    Aaa, Why can't he be Fonzie?...

    Oh, darn, I thought this was another Poetry Slam... My bad!

    1. David, I think you should consider life to be an ongoing poetry slam. If you've got the stuff, put it out there.
