Breathe in, but please don't breathe out........you horsetoothjackass..." That is a line from one of the many great Gary Dellabette song parodies written by today's featured Shrine inductee, Sal the Stockbroker. Sung to the tune of Everlong, a popular song by David Grohl and the Foo Fighters, it's hard to believe that it has been 4 years since I first contacted Sal for his autograph. Emailing my request off his website Sal sent me a signed computer printout photo of himself singing that very song to Gary in the studio. I remember that show and clearly remember Howard not allowing him to finish his song. A lot has happened since then. My collection of autographs, my tribute to Howard, has grown to well over 125 signatures, Sal is now a stand-up comic, and thanks to the Win John's Job contest and his excellent week he put in he has finally won the respect of the fans and perhaps most importantly Howard's as well. Falling just short in the voting to Richard Christy it seemed that almost everyone on the staff voted for Sal including Howard, Fred, and Robin. I, myself, voted for Sal. Of course, I voted for everyone...everyone except Dan the Song Parody Man.

Although Trimspa said that they took great steps to insure one vote per computer it seemed by changing your IP number and deleting cookies in between votes people could vote as many times as they liked. A friend of mine, a big heavy metal fan, said he voted for Christy over 500 times one day. Who knows if he and others handed the contest to Christy unfairly or if he was just wasting his time but one think became very clear during this contest: Sal the Stockbroker is one funny guy and very versatile. He is not just a one trick horsetoothjackass. His wackpacker Uncle Paulie was a great find for the show, his what annoys you about so and so game is one that I am sure will be played again and again and his interview with BethO, Howard's girlfriend, is still causing controversy. Do you have implants? No....Hmmm....Anyone who has taken a look at Beth's FHM spread may question her answer. They sure look real to me....real expensive. During the contest I asked Sal if he would like to do an interview for the planet and he said that he would but only after the voting was over. During his week Sal asked the fans to submit questions to him for his interview with Beth. I thought it would be cool to do the same with him. Like a year ago for an interview with Ron Zimmerman I asked the good people at the alt-fan to help out. Thanks to Kevin from koam.com who also asked his readers to submit questions. We only did it for a few days but I think we got some good questions. Thanks to all the fans for helping out. I threw a few questions of my own in to finish the interview and here it is.
