Pittsburghers -- remember "Officer Bob?" For those who don't, or for you out-of-towners, Officer Bob was the star of a series of tv commercials (which may or may not have ever actually aired, I can't remember) designed to convince young adults to remain in Pittsburgh. The idea was that Officer Bob hid behind bushes and ambushed anyone under the age of 90 who was attempting to leave town.
Eventually, Officer Bob was replaced by a 36-word branding message that included phrases like "rivers of steel" and "free sex."
Today, I'm proposing that we put Officer Bob back on the job -- because, my dear friends and fellow Pittsburghians, the other 50% of two of the most charming and fascinating individuals ever to emerge from Pittsburgh's tri-state area is considering joining his alter-ego in Florida.
Yes, friends, Anthony is considering joining Tunesmith in The Sunshine State.
We here at SWSMMM strenuosly object to such a move, and in fact are considering self-immolation if such a tragedy comes to pass.
Herewith, then, some statistics related to this potential disaster:
Who is most likely to miss Anthony?
How best can Anthony and his belongings be moved to Fla?
Most dramatic effect of Anthony's departure
Potential upside of an Anthony-free Pittsburgh
well, this sucks!!! : (

If he decides to leave, then I say he must reveal his true identity.

Bravo, maestro! Bravo!
I fear that if I reveal my identity, I will lose my gig as the Empire Carpet spokesman. Oops!
