I finally got the O.K. to post some pictures for Gary’s Man Cave!! Of course I had to remove some of the good shots (the final product) but this gives you a good idea of what went down.
HUGE THANKS TO MY FRIEND PAT WHO WAS THERE TO TAKE ALL THE PHOTOS!
Amazon.com now has Artie’s book listed for pre-order. Check out the listing here:
Pre-Order Too Fat to Fish at Amazon.com
Letterman
Artie brought bowling beauty Tracy to Letterman last week and he said things went really well. They exchanged cell phone numbers as well as text messaged each other over the weekend with possible dinner plans for this week.
Add Mike Gange
Gange had said last week that he liked Tracy and he obviously had a big crush going on. Of course Artie stepped in and flashed the fame to Tracy and “stole her away”. This morning the rumor was floating around that Gange was mad at Artie for getting the date with Tracy since Gange thought he had known her longer and had chemistry. Artie then said he would step away from her as a courtesy to Mike.
Add a Girl with a boyfriend
Later Tracy called in an said that she had a boyfriend and wasn’t serious about dating either of them. Howard TV said she had a live-in boyfriend to boot. When asked if she was interested in Gange, she said she didn’t know. When asked if she would date Artie she said she definitely would if she didn’t have a boyfriend. Artie got a little pissed off at Tracy for playing the field when she had a boyfriend that last week she was playing down.
My Thoughts
First off, the Mike and Artie are partially to blame for even crushing on this girl. Artie gets a little bit of a pass since he has some fame and money and you might be able to get a girl - boyfriend or not. Mike on the other hand would have a tougher time swinging that. But in respect to her, they shouldn’t have been making moves.
Tracy is also to blame. I always hear or see girls like this who get into these situations for what reason I have no idea. Either A) They are complete idiots and don’t realize the guys want them by being overly nice to them (inviting them to Letterman show) or B) They are completely disrespectful for going out with some other dude while they have a boyfriend, unless you are ready to ditch the current BF. She should fucking know better. And I think she knew exactly what she was doing. The current boyfriend should ditch her.
According to Artie, this is the greatest thing in the world: a McSkillet Burrito.
During Lisa G’s headlines this morning she admitted that she may have a thing for Artie. “I was talking to my sister about this last night” said Lisa. She continued, “
Its very frustrating because he doesn’t like himself… its sad to me.” Howard added “Because you like him” and Lisa responded with a “yes”. Oddly, Lisa contested the idea that she is a chubby chaser saying that she wouldn’t date a fat guy. So which one is it Lisa?
Robin mentioned that Artie was eating by pointing out that every time they talk about someone liking Artie he starts eating.
Artie added that because of his personality now he will hate her since he knows she likes him.
Later, Howard asked Lisa what it would take for Artie to date her. Lisa said he would have to change everything. Artie got agitated with the implication of getting therapy. She said he should take a few weeks off and go somewhere, also see a shrink and get healthy.
An old friend of mine Pat was at Gary Dell’Abate’s house for the construction of his mancave.
I will be posting pictures this morning right here !!
** Update - Due to legal reasons, I was told I will not be able to publish certain pictures till after the episode - legal reasons. So I will still post up some shots but sadly it won’t be the good stuff 
But having seen the pictures, it is definitely a cool room and a nice house!
Also, as of now Pat will not be going to Artie’s house but there is a possibility he will. If so, I will try to get some scoopage.
– Update: Photos are here!
Howard noticed that Artie was popping a lot of Subutex this morning and asked if he was stressed out. Artie said he was really stressed because of the next 2 days.
Day 1 - Photo shoot
Artie is going to a photo shoot today for his upcoming book, Too Fat To Fish, and he is complaining that he is obese now and he doesn’t want a depressing book cover that lasts for ever. He kept coming up with reasons for not doing it, for instance, he has no clothes. What the hell - is this not show business?! Won’t there be wardrobe? The photographer suggested maybe putting Artie in a row boat in the Hudson river.
(thanks to George W. for the photo)
What the fuck Artie?!
Ya know for a funny, creative guy - Artie doesn’t try to do anything new. He was mentioning just using the same old picture he uses for everything (oddly enough taken by Dana) instead of a brand new photo. Even his comedy has been recycled for so long.
Day 2 - Letterman
The other stressful thing Artie has is the Late Show with David Letterman tomorrow.
Boys’ blue PJ pants - $10
San Francisco baseball cap - $25
Pug from the local animal shelter - $100
A picture of Eric the Midget waking up in the morning - Priceless
Thanks to Tommy for sending in the picture
Also the rumor is that if you want to get Eric the Midget on AOL, his screen name is Allsports5.
George W. sent in this funny photoshop parody of the dvd cover for the 1995 movie Operation Dumbo Drop starring Danny Glove, Ray Liotta and Denis Leary.
