AND YOUR LITTLE DOG TOO: Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, who is as we all know America's Foremost Insult Comic Dog, will make a rare personal appearance tonight at the Times Square Virgin Megastore, marking the release of his new album, "Come Poop With Me." I'm debating whether or not to go- on the one hand I've been a Triumph fan for years and I'd love to see him in the flesh, along with creator Robert Smigel. But on the other hand, am I really about to go into the city and wait in line for the chance to meet a friggin' sock puppet?
(The press release also includes a phone number and e-mail address for Triumph's publicist, for those seeking to "interview" the make-believe puppet. It was bad enough when, in my Justice days, I used to get frequent calls from Pauly Shore's publicist; could you imagine waking up every morning knowing that your biggest client is a sock puppet dog?)
POOPED ON BY THE PINK PAGES: Triumph and Smigel are profiled in the New York Observer.
