Heard Dracut Scholarship Telethon head honcho Glen Mello on the radio this morning pissing & bitching – just like those people do every year about this time – to raise even more money for the local “kiddos” who plan to go onto college after high school. This year I guess they’re shooting for $100K as their goal.
Warren “Barnyard Animal” Shaw said how excited he was to be competing in, Dancing With the Dracut Stars, which is one of the many different shows taking place during this week-long, fund-raising, local access televised event scheduled to air till this Friday night. My only question listening to that was, if Warren was more “excited” about the competition OR, the opportunity to be dancing – cheek-to-cheek -- with some physically-fit, good-looking chick who teaches dance lessons 24/7?
Hey, I just had an excellent idea...Why not call the Scholarship Telethon people up and pledge to donate, at least, $25 if Warren promises to dance wearing his famous purple cowboy hat? Heck, tell those folks that you’d throw in another $25 donation if Warren also wears his lucky red shirt, along with his purple cowboy hat?
I mean it’s all for a very worthy cause, right? The “kiddos” of Dracut.
Why not donate $$$ to throw a cream pie in Frank Gorman’s face?
Mello mentioned during this radio interview that nobody has ever gotten a pie thrown in their face during the entire history of the Scholarship Telethon. If this message board, Dracut After Dark is any indicator, I think perhaps local businessman Frank “Bait & Switch” Gorman might be the best candidate in town to take a pie or two or more in the face to generate a ton of dough for the Scholarship Telethon cause. Now granted, if old Frank screwed you out of several thousand bucks in the Beaver Brook Mills development, you can only get a limited amount of retribution with throwing a pie in this weasel’s face for all of Dracut to witness on local access TV, but unfortunately, that might be your ONLY opportunity to get even with the guy that’s nicknamed, “Bait & Switch”.
Tentative singing performances worth, at least, a $200 donation each
Or else, why not call up the Scholarship Telethon folks and pledge, at least, a $200 contribution if one of these fine singers perform one of these excellent musical arrangements:
a) Duets
Brian & Mary Gail Martin, singing the Sonny & Cher classic, I Got You Babe.
Bob & Gaye Corey, singing the Stevie Nicks & Tom Petty classic, Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around.
Warren Shaw & Michael Maguire, singing the Willie Nelson & Julio Iglesias classic, To All the Girls I’ve Loved Before.
Frank & Harry Gorman, singing the Simply Red classic, Money’s Too Tight to Mention.
b) Individuals
Dennis Shaughnessey, singing the Larry Groce classic, Junk Food Junkie.
Jim Campanini, singing the Kenny Rogers classic, The Gambler.
Jim Ogonowski, singing the Lee Greenwood classic, God Bless the U.S.A.
Colleen Garry, singing the Barbara Streisand classic, The Main Event.
Roger L. Daigle, singing the Twisted Sister classic, We’re Not Gonna Take It.
Paul Gaudette, singing the Village People classic, Macho Man.
Michael McLaughlin, singing the Village People classic, I Wanna Shake Your Hand.
Tom Salem, singing the Bobby Goldsboro classic, Summer (The First Time).
Jim Douksewicz, singing the Frank Sinatra classic, My Way.
Leo “Lucky” Vezina, singing that classic tune off the Sweet Charity Broadway soundtrack, Big Spender.
Gary McCarthy, singing the Chuck Berry classic, My Ding-A-Ling.
D.J. Deeb, singing the Styx classic, Too Much Time On My Hands.
Ron Mercier, singing the Eric Clapton classic, Cocaine.
Nancy Drolet-Mendonca-Gagnon-etc., singing the Gretchen Wilson classic, Redneck Woman.
Mary Karabatsos, singing the Divinyls classic, I Touch Myself.
Joe DiRocco, singing the Simple Minds classic, Don’t You (Forget About Me).
George Malliaros, singing WHILE LOOKING AT HIMSELF IN A MIRROR the Carly Simon classic, Nobody Does It Better.
Bob Cox, singing the Toby Keith classic, Do You Know Who My Older Brother Is?
Wow – put all this musical talent together for a one-night concert and the tickets would probably go for several thousand dollars apiece. Can you imagine how just a few of these singing sensations could rake to benefit the Scholarship Telethon event?
Please feel free to throw out several more suggestions so we can help raise a few bucks for this truly worthwhile endeavor.
