I’m not sure what else I can say about this 24 hour deal that I haven’t said in what feels like over a hundred other posts on the subject matter now, but there were two things in particular that I have fond and previously unmentioned memories of. The first happened minutes before the takeover officially began in-studio. Due to the rollout nature of the Party Boy segment, Pontius was held back from making the grand entrance with the rest of the cast. He was supposed to be hiding out in a dressing room, but he was just as curious as everyone else about how things were unfolding and lingered in the hallway to see the guys make their big entrance. Right about then Dimitry remembered his videocamera had a direct link to the control room—the place where all the directors, programmers, producers and everyone else stood at rapt attention watching all the live camera feeds—and had Pontius whip out his dick and whirl it around from a unique, up close perspective. I can only imagine how impressive the War Hammer must have appeared to everyone sequestered in the control room, not to mention how it must’ve felt for all of them to be looking ahead at 24 solid hours of this nonsense.

The last was an entirely selfish pleasure and that was seeing this photo up on the jumbotron taken the night of Jeff Tremaine’s bachelor party. The shot featured his brother Dave—someone who is already larger than life in person but even more so on a jumbotron—looking like a total madman on the school bus we’d rented for the evening. By some miraculous twist of fate I’d just survived a wrestling match with him and can be seen flying up over his shoulder at the tail end of his berserker rage. Seeing this image looming up over Times Square in King Kong-like fashion was one of those small personal triumphs I shan’t soon forget.
