This is what it would be like to watch Erick on TV, if he
looked
like Wile E. Coyote. Sadly, he doesn't.
Help make Erick really famous
So the boy has a dream, and a plan. Isn't that what
makes America great?
But he's going all out. He's actually using his brain.
Erick's been studying about what it takes to become
famous. What's the secret, he asked himself while the
commercials were on. Beauty? Naw, look at Mick Jagger.
Clothes? Donald Duck doesn't even own a pair of pants.
Muscles? That Woody Allen ain't
exactly Charles Atlas.
Talent? Hey, all Ed McMahon ever did was sit on the couch
next to Johnny Carson. (Actually,
Erick does think Ed is talented. He's just pissed that
none of the letters Ed
sent him turned out
to be a winner.) Sex Appeal? Three words: Larry Bud
Melman.
Like the man says in the song... It don't mean a thing
if you ain't got that swing
No, the thing that makes people famous is
Attitude! That strut, that swing, that
je-ne-sais-quois confident air. Walk the walk and talk the
talk, that's what you do.
So our man Erick has, to quote Patti Labelle, a New
Attitude. He's feeling good from his head to his shoes.
(Note: Patti Labelle became famous for singing great and
being built like a brickhouse. She'll have no competition
from Erick in either category.. Sorry, guy.)
A lot of mediocre people with attitude become famous. A
lot of goofy
people with attitude become famous. Our boy Erick is
quite capable of being mediocre, or goofy, or both. So
he's well qualified for the job.
Of course, a lot of people who become famous get there
through intelligence, diligence, and sheer hard work.
Wish the kid lots of luck.
We've joined the Net4TV Web group! Now Erick is
another step closer to his fame.
NEW!!! This is now an official
Net4TV site. Net4TV is
a
ring of pages designed especially to be viewed on
television. Because of the differences in resolution,
what looks slick
on a monitor often doesn't translate well to
television, and vice versa. If you're viewing this on a
computer monitor, I'd appreciate knowing
how the colors, text and graphics look. If there is a
problem, let me know and I'll fix it or provide a
computer-friendly alternative.
Erick sez: "...How 'bout them Cats !!!"
Championship Celebration
Erick's Kentucky Basketball
And now here's Erick. Here recently we usually just
call him Mister
Wannabe.
Welcome aboard, stargazers! My name is Erick.
Yeah, that's me. The guy who wants to become famous.
I see you've heard of me.
This gimmick must be starting to
work!
I'm truly glad you're giving my site
a
look-through. This is my first attempt at
building a page...(by the way, why do all first-timers
point that out? I think it's our way of saying
"This might suck, but I don't know enough yet to keep it
from sucking, so don't hate me")...Anyway, since I've
decided to become famous, I've got to start somewhere.
We're in the
organization
stage, so I'm very open to suggestion. (And none of those
irritating "Under Construction signs; I promise.)
This site is being constructed on Angelfire using only WebTV... WebTV
Classic, to be precise.
I will now pause for a moment to
allow all the computer users to snicker "WebTV...ha ha
ha"
Okay. You can stop now
Really, I mean it
All right, knock it off this instant or I'll break out the
NetGeek
jokes.
Thank you.
You might want to read my
WebTV Disclaimer,
especially if you're concerned about the
linked-graphics problem for which WebTV'ers have gained a
reputation as
unwelcome squatters. Famous celebrities like me can't be
associated with that kind of tomfoolery, so we're going to
put a stop to it.
So, Erick, what kind of things do you like?
I'll spare you the usual
"Here's what kind of things I like" speech. All
you have to do is look at the pages, and
I'm sure you can figure out where my passions lie. But I
really enjoy feedback, good or bad, so if you have a
suggestion of something that could be included, let me
know. There's an
e-mail
link on every page, or you can
sign the guestbook.
Pretty simple, huh? It's my small way of thanking you
for helping make me famous.
Are you starting to love me yet?
Erick
