HELL-o "Opie an Anthony" Fan(atics), I'm starting my O&A (UN) Official SideShow section with this statement. I don't know ANYTHING you don't know about the whole O&A situation-so please don't email me and ask me for "inside information" that I just don't have! The best way to keep up on the O&A news is to keep a close watch on www.foundrymusic.com, O & A's Unofficial web site run by the "Pimp Master General" Himself - Martini Steve! A couple other sites that are worth watching are www.opieandanthony.com and www.wackbag.com - these are fan-based sites that can keep you up to date on things. One thing I will tell you is my opinion! The boys WILL be back pissing fire and vinegar in one form or another! So, it's up to us to support them and keep the faith and remember patience is a virtue. When all of this legal shit is out of the way the "resurrection" will occur - I say we call it-"The Second Coming of Opie and Anthony" (get it?)

Now for those of you out they're who aren't familiar with Opie and Anthony here is a brief intro. Opie and Anthony are the baaaaad boys of radio. They're show was #1 Rated show in the US (next to Stern)-the O&A Show was syndicated in over 25 major markets and was broadcast out of WNEW Studios in New York City! These terrible two pulled stunts that made even MY jaw drop in delightfully distasteful disbelief! To be completely honest with you in the scheme of things I am a relatively new O&A fan. One day while printing t-shirts I was flipping around my radio dial and stumbled upon their show by accident. I listened to their unrelenting ball-busting humor, as well as comedian extrodinare Jim Norton's lightning fast fucked up funny comments, I took to them and the whole show format like a nappy headed homeless man takes too his first hit of crack! (Lil' Jimmy Norton was really the icing on the whole O&A cake, making it oh so sickly sweet with sarcasm. Check out his website www.eatabullet.com, you won't be disappointed!)

Yes they are true radio pioneers that took things waaaaay over the top-"Cringe Radio" at its finest! O&A made any other "Shock-Jocks" that came before them seem tame. Needless to say due to they’re on air antics there was ALWAYS a huge wave of controversy surrounding the show, not everyone out there in radio land got the joke. Well we all know that you can't please all the people all the time, but these two were pleasing most people most of the time to make them the biggest show on the air- not too shabby. Then one day the proverbial "Shit Hit the Fan (or should that be "Shit Hit the Sam"! Ha!) during their annual "Sex for Sam" contest. The contest consisted of pairs of O&A listeners having (alleged) sex in predetermined locations around New York City for points-the riskier the spot the more points they would get. Each of the couples participating got accompanied by a "spotter" that would relay the erotic activity back to the studio for live broadcast via cell phone. The couple who received the most points at the end would be awarded with a trip to Boston to party with the O&A crew at a local brewery. Well, one of the couples decided to go and do the dirty deed in famous St. Patrick's Cathedral while their "spotter", comedian Paul "Kathleen Put Your Goddamn Clothes Back On" Mecurio gave us a blow by blow description of the unholy hijinx! (I just gotta say, god damn it, that is GOOD RADIO!). Well it seems Paul wasn't the only one watching! A church worker (I'm not sure if he was a Priest or not) also spotted the alleged illicit activity "going down" in his cathedral and called the police. The police came to the scene and arrested the couple as their "spotter", Paul Mecurio, relayed the action back to the broadcast booth! Paul was quite the showman during this encounter! He did a little friendly ball busting (all in good (?) fun) to the arresting officers-they were NOT amused, so much so that they then arrested Paul as an accomplice! WOW-talk about being "hung by the tongue"!

That was the beginning of what would be the most controversial radio stunt in history getting International press and leading to the "termination" of the "Opie and Anthony Show" in a matter of days! I must interject here a question-did the authorities have to scrape the dude's dick or give the gal a pap smear and send it the lab for a DNA analysis for and proof of penis and pussy penetration? Who is to say what REALLY happened in St.Patrick's Cathedral?)

Due to the backlash of bad publicity from the stunt and threats from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to pull Infinity Broadcasts' license, the boys got fired. It is now all tied up in court and the only thing to do is wait and see what happens. But I have a feeling that Opie and Anthony will rise from the ashes and be bigger than ever!

My plans to set up Satan's SideShow at the next O&A Celebrity Softball Game are on hold until this legal mess is cleaned up and the boys return to the airwaves! So, you'll just have to wait to see a jar full of Stalker Patty's hair amongst my other Wonders of the World!

So, now with that business out of the way, let me start by thanking all of you out their who have contacted me-bought stuff and gave me oral treats due to my appearance on the show!

I got to be on the show when the boys were in my town on day broadcasting out of WJFK here is Washington,DC. They were having a contest to see what listener could bring in the weirdest thing. The winner would receive a trip for two too Hollywood California and get to hang out with the "Hair" band Poison.

As most of you know by now, I'm pretty much a hermit when I'm at my studio and not on tour. I rarely leave my place to go anywhere for "fun". Shit, I live in a fuckin' museum filled with one of a kind oddities-and leaving is always anticlimactic. But, I decided (with a little help from my friends) to venture outside my world and meet the two DJ's that made me laugh everyday. In turn, I would show them things that I possess, but rarely show anyone. So, I loaded up 3 boxes of oddities and sick products I create, to completely blow their minds!

The night before they were due to arrive, I was fucking around in my studio, and decide to make some "Kathleen, Put Your Goddamn Clothes Back On" t-shirts to give them as a gesture of good will!

My personal assistant, the vivacious Tracie, wore one of the shirts down to the studio that day. She was milling around the parking lot with 100's of other O&A fans and the shirt caught the attention of "Martini Steve" who was doing a broadcasting live from the parking lot (Too be completely honest I think Trace's tits caught "Martini" Steves eyes first! Ha!). After Steve caught a glimpse of what I had to show the boys, Tracie and I were immediately ushered in.

Once I got into the studio I proceeded to shower Opie, Anthony and Jimmy Norton with some of the sick shit I make. Including the "Jeffrey Dahmer Peek-a-Boo Slayset", a copy of the porn video "DEEP THROAT" autographed by Linda Lovelace, and a Susan Smith SnowGlobe, just to name a few. I then brought out the big guns. A two-headed kitten, a pig with one head and two bodies, a bag full of porn star Ron Jeremy's body hair, a Rev. Jim Jones "Peoples Temple" medallion removed off one of the corpses in Guyana and so on. Needless too say, after the hour or so presentation, they were floored by the stuff and I won the trip. I won but didn't go-too be completely honest with you I'd rather go down on Stalker Patty than hang out with Poison! Ha!
After the show I got invited to Jim Norton's sold out show in a Virginia theater to hang out with Jim and Opie. It was fuckin' great (jeeeez maybe I should go out more often!) and the O&A crew could not have been cooler. The following day Opie came over to my studio to get the full tour of my weird World. He called before hand and said he could only stay for 15 minutes then he had to drive to Philly for a meeting. Well after he arrived he stayed for over 2 hours absolutely amazed at what I had collected over the years!

After our initial meeting, I was on the show the following Monday via telephone at the on air request from Opie for me to call in. We had a good time talking about serial killers, freaks, and my adventures at the house where the Manson murders took place (more on that adventure WITH actual crime scene photos too come soon!)!

A couple weeks later I was in NYC for a huge Tattoo convention and I was invited in the WNEW studios for a live O&A broadcast. I brought another box of ghoulish goodies to entertain them. This time bringing on a Siamese Twin pit bull and Dave "ODERUS" Brockies torn off toenail I collected while on tour with GWAR! I was live on the "Stinky Cam" so some of you out there got to see what were describing over the air! Those of you who didn't get to see it, I've decided to put up this Opie and Anthony (Un) Officail Sideshow, displaying to all what I brought on the show. I know it's taken me awhile to get it up here so thanks for your patience -this is just a sample of my O&A related stuff, I'll be posting new stuff often. Thanks to my O&A appearances my work/art/shit whatever the fuck you want to call it has a whole new fan base-the exposure was great and I won't disappoint my fellow freaks out there!

On a closing note I'll say that most of the major influences in my life have been banned in one way or another-Sex Pistols, Ramones, GG Allin, Al Goldstien, Benny Hill, Andrew Dice Clay, Larry Flynt, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis, and now I add O&A to the list. It seems that anyone who does something totally original and pushes the envelope against the norm scares the status quo into trying to stop something they don't understand. Keep the faith boys and girls for soon we all will witness: "The Second Coming of Opie and Anthony!" HELLAjulia!
