Dirty Marty's sole interest is Roller Derby.
More specifically, the Charm City Roller Girls. Alongside his broadcast partner and secret crush Jimmy Valentine, Dirty Marty serves as an announcer for the Greatest Roller Derby League in The Greatest City In America. But you already know that, since you've been to all of the bouts, right?
The Big Sleep, Breaking the Waves, Big Trouble in Little China, Night of the Living Dead (1968), Kansas City Bomber, anything from Jim Jarmusch, John Waters, or Charlie Kauffman. Also anything old or creepy. Old and creepy is best.
Television
"Ned and Stacey", "Newsradio", "Due South", "Arrested Development", "Get a Life". Oh, you mean what's on now? Well, there's "The Daily Show", "The Colbert Report", most of Adult Swim, "TNA Impact", "My Name is Earl", and "The Office". Whatever is on The Science Channel. The only permissible reality series is "Rollergirls". "Rollergirls" has been cancelled. There are no permissible reality shows.
And "Psych". "Psych" is really good. It may be the best non-Colbert show on television.
Books
"The Thief's Journal" by Jean Genet; "Julian" by Gore Vidal; "If On a Winter's Night a Traveler" by Italo Calvino; "Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World" by Haruki Murakami; "The Mysterious Stranger" by Mark Twain
Heroes
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be Heroes, just for one day
And you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we're lovers, and that is that
Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time,
just for one day
We can be Heroes, for ever and ever
What d'you say?
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing,
nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes,
just for one day
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day
I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns shot above our heads
(over our heads)
And we kissed,
as though nothing could fall
(nothing could fall)
And the shame was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes,
just for one day
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
We're nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying,
then you better not stay
But we could be safer,
just for one day
Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh,
just for one day
Dirty Marty really should check in with MySpace more often. Damn Facebook doesn't believe that "Dirty Marty" is a real name, so they can go to hell. Posted at 5:09 PM Sep 14 view more
About me: First, let's give credit where credit is due: I plastered the CCRG logo everywhere using Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace) Now, on to "About Me":
Loyal servant and humble announcer to the Charm City Roller Girls. Unfailingly pleasant. Compact and flexible. A gin-fueled dynamo.

I will be around on Sat morning maybe and on Sunday most likely. When are you getting in to town? If you are around on Friday night we should totally get together and have a blast :)
So I had a dream about you (nonsexual) last night after we went on our quest. You are now embedded in my subconscious and will be immortal for as long as I live.
Last month's semifinal game between Scare Force One and the Cherry Blossom Bombshells came down to a nail-biting double overtime, and the Bombshells are trying to carry that momentum to vanquish the fierce DC DemonCats, who haven't lost a game since October. This exciting season championship matchup will be the last DC Rollergirls home game until the fall, so don't miss out!
In addition, fans can watch an expo matchup between Scare Force One and the River City Rollergirls of Richmond, VA, and check out Jason Leffler's #38 NASCAR showcar. Plus, in honor of Mother's Day, moms will get a gift at the door!
It's tailgating season, so come early to Stadium/Armory Lot 3 and get a head start on the fun! The lot opens at 3 p.m.
Tickets are available in advance through Ticketmaster (service charge applies), at the RFK Stadium box office and at the door on bout day.
Oh and PS, maybe next time you visit it'll be warm and we can grill steaks and drink margaritas (not me but...). I don't refrigerate my A1 sauce either ;-)
Thanks for stopping in and hangin' with me. I had a Blast. Made me realise how much I really miss Ya. How is that "Show Me On The Doll" cd? It's my favorite thing I've done so far in life :)

Well, I don't believe that I've heard the word amazing to describe it until now, but I did receive a surprising number of kind words. Thank you! Believe me, what I did was far less amazing than the feats performed by the skaters that I was trying to describe.
