Anywhere online that has the old Popwatch articles Tom did? I would also like to read that thing he did with Papa Roach.

I like the story he wrote on the peanut butter and jelly restaurant for Fluxblog.

Oh man, it still exists! And it has a nationwide product.
For shame. I just checked out their Florida stores, and they managed to spell Norman Brothers wrong. It's not NORMAN'S BROTHERS PRODUCED, it's Norman Brothers Produce. Get it right, you Floridadummies.
Yo, Fredericks. You can buy the finest peanut butter in FOUR (4) Kash n' Karry stores in New Port Richey.

I hear people die of peanut butter these days.

I'm no prude, but the drunk driving stuff in that story has always failed to jibe with the rest of Tom's public persona.

That, and maybe the f-bombs (though I wonder how often Tom would curse on-air if the FCC wasn't a factor).

I feel a tinge irony between that and the mention of poppa johns and dominos being the only pizza around when there is perfectly good pizza to be had in New Jersey---but then again I may be wrong.

I just assumed it was said in jest.

Norman Brothers? I on it.
They don't call them Kash and Karry anymore now they operate under the name Sweet Bay. And they did clean up the stores a bit.

I never heard of Norman Brothers Peanut Butter. Kim, I think I am missing something.
Or do I want the Sweet Bay generic P.B.?

And just like that there was nothing funny about you anymore.

Okay, I will help you this once since you're clearly not so good on the computer. Click here (http://www.ilovepeanutbutter.com/storefinder.html) for a list of stores that stock peanut butter from the place that Tom talks about in the abovementioned article.
Norman Brothers is a nice place in Miami that sells good produce from local farmers. They, like New Port Richey's Sweet Bay (née Kash n' Karry), apparently also stock the Peanut Butter and Jelly restaurant's housemade assortment of peanut butters and jellies. I don't know.
I have fond childhood memories of yogurt milkshakes at Norman Brothers.

Thanks Kim.
I always appreciate edification.
I am edified.
You are correct I am not so great on these computer things but I am learning.
I'm off to Sweet Bay.
Thanks again Kim.

I am commenting mainly to "bump" this thread.
I want the article on Popa Roach!
(Am I mistaken in remembering this as the one where Popa Roach plays some winded and half-assed basketball against some fans?)

my thoughts exactly. however, i admit, as a writer myself, of exaggerating a number of nuances, etc. for the sake of laughs or dramatic effect or both in a non-fiction essay/story. nothing is too ridiculous to consider when you don't know if it's true or not.

Correct. Walt Frazier makes an appearance too (a far less half assed effort. or maybe much more whole assed, depending on your POV)
Also, if I remember correctly, he couldn't even work in the Jim Beam angle because the article was for a kids' magazine. I would love to read this and see all of the stuff between the lines.

i don't know where to find the article, but here's the commemorative t-shirt. it's sleeveless and extra large, in true rock-n-jock style.

I love that the e-store selling it is called TREASURED TEES. I'm gonna save up for that Jim Beam shirt, right after I buy the PAUL TSONGAS ARENA tee.
Did they steal the colors for that shirt off of some old Nike Agassi's?
