Blue is (not) my color
Hey gang, look who snuck away from the baby and FF to entertain the masses on TV. Click here to see my hiii-larious interview on Fox this morning.
One thing I can say with total certainty after seeing myself on TV: A week away from work, living on bologna sandwiches, clam chowder and Bugles from the hospital cafeteria has me looking not just a little like Willy Wonka's Violet Beauregarde -- hopefully without the chewing gum tick.
To honor my friend and Stuck in the 80s co-host Steve Spears, who is transcribing my blog rantings while I juggle baby and beers during my mini-vacation, here's a special top 5 list.
TOP 5 THINGS SEAN DALY IS DOING DURING FAMILY LEAVE:
5. Ordering more TV-friendly, electric blue shirts, featuring David Partridge collar.
4. Deleting all Madonna songs from my iPod; replacing them with Tiffany.
3. Planning guys-only trip with Steve to Kankakee, Illinois, with remaining vacation time.
2. Adding photos to my Pamela Sue Martin myspace tribute page.
1. "Researching" breast-pump websites on the Internet.
Hey, I'm a dad. It's totally OK, right?
Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours.
bwahahahaha -- I can't think of anything else to say that won't get me into trouble.

Special thanks to Miss Riss (for the link) and Good Ol' Spearsy (who does a darn fine SD impression -- "hiii-larious"? wow, i can smell the sarcasm).
Oh, and an extra shout-out to S. Hayes for the faboo Super Bowl schtick. She's a PTPer (even though she refuses to watch my TV gigs)

Sean,
Thanks for making my day with that TV Clip.......Daly for President!

Thanks, Al. At the very least, U.S. Ambassador to Canada.
Believe it or not, I actually have more than one TV shirt. I have, like, two TV shirts. But I haven't done laundry/gone to the dry cleaners in weeks. Electric Blue wasn't too wrinkled, so I wore that. But alas, I'm down to my last pair of boxers, Christmas undies that say "Ho! Ho! Ho!" You do not -- I repeat: DO NOT -- want to attempt the Dance of the Seven Buttons in novelty bloomers.

Great segment, Mr. Daly. Just the right amount of lunacy for the morning. You and Charley really do look like you could be brothers from different mothers -- why have I never noticed that before.
And you are a brave man to eat clam chowder from a hospital cafeteria. I'm just sayin'.

Uh, DOSB already? Or is it just mirror practice?
Posted by: Marissa | February 04, 2008 at 08:53 PM
I was going to say... I don't think the FF is going to want to have any part of the DOSB for several months. And don't even go near the Hover move.
Posted by: Bassnote | February 04, 2008 at 11:22 PM
The Hover is what got us into this mess.
Posted by: Sean Daly | February 04, 2008 at 11:26 PM
Everytime "the Hover" is mentioned I get visions of a young Harold Ramis and a not yet overtly insane Sean Young playing force field in "Stripes."

Now I've got Icehouse's "Electric Blue" running through my head.

It's not "Midnight Blue" by Lou Graham?
Posted by: Marissa | February 05, 2008 at 07:51 AM
SD, you look very at home in front of the camera. Maybe they should have you on everyday for the 3D segment "Daily Dose of Daly"?
But the question that keeps popping into my noggin is did he actually use the jumper cables?

Darn...left a comment about the blue shirt on the "I blame Giselle" blog. Guess I jumped the gun. On another note, I don't buy that you have a second TV shirt for a second.

Proof that Sean owns other shirt(s) Meet the lavender shirt:

Just when I needed you most, Marissa...
Posted by: Sean Daly | February 05, 2008 at 09:35 AM
There are more shirts to see, but I figured I was bordering on creepy stalker chick already. And let us not forget the hot red shirt you wore for the photo shoot.
I'm here for ya, Sean.
Posted by: Marissa | February 05, 2008 at 09:53 AM
Thanks Marissa, I just spent a good 20 minutes of work time watching those videos. Thanks for improving my workday!

lol a little bit of Sean goes a long way. Man, that sounded sick.
Posted by: Marissa | February 05, 2008 at 11:39 AM
Haha, oh Marissa.
Sean, I can't imagine you as an Ambassador. Those would be great press conferences to cover.
"So, Mr. Daly, what are your thoughts on the Norwegian aggression in the North Atlantic?......" Hehe.

MAMA NO!
