To set the stage, I’ll tell you that my friend Leah used to live in Atlanta, but made an inter-company transfer a few years ago to do PR for us in New York. Since then we’ve visited each other as much as finances would afford, and she’s left the company to follow her Happy (Maigh-ism, maybe I’ll explain this tomorrow) which happens to be in a very shi-shi doggie boutique in Manhattan.
So yesterday morning…
Leah: hey are you around?
*** Auto-response sent to Leah: In meetings most of the day, if you need me – email.
Maigh: For 2 minutes, I have an interview at 10:30
Leah: ok it’s fast
Maigh: bring it
Leah: so they did a show the other night at the beacon for comedy central and triumph the comic insult dog was supposed to be performing, but a few minutes before he was scheduled to go on they couldn’t find him – the puppet!
Maigh: heh heh heh
Maigh: that’s great shit
Maigh: where did they find him? or did they?
Leah: they found him in a grocery store bag
Maigh: trying to kill himself?
Leah: so they came in to our store and got him a carrier the other day
Maigh: brilliant!
Are you getting the visual on this? Because I was hysterical.

If you haven’t seen Comic v. Star Wars Nerds, I urge you to do so now. Immediately. I’ll wait.
Random reason to love Triumph – he made a cameo with Kermit on It’s a Very Merry Muppet Christmas movie.
Happy Friday, babies!

He was on Hollywood Squares for a week… watched every day. LOVE HIM! (sing song voice)

What’s not to love, right? Dog, plastic, sharp wit, big brown eyes…
I vaguely remember hearing he and Little Richard didn’t exactly hit it off on HS…maybe as part of one of Kathy Griffin’s bits on The D List?

Yes! I do believe she was on that week as well…. alas… YouTube has failed me! I did see some nice clips from Paul Lynde’s time there… and now my lunch hour is gone.

If I get reincarnated as a dog, I want to be Triumph
