TODAY UPDATE
I just went to where they put on your makeup, and when the makeup guy was done, he said to the hair guy, "Do you want to do anything to his hair?"
And the hair guy said, quote, "I'll try."
I'm now supposed to be on at 9:45 (a.m.) (I assume). My hair has chemicals in it.

Be sure to flip your newly bouncy hair when one of the hosts makes a funny, Dave.
You may have to practice backstage.

Don't nap, Dave. Hair guy has hair envy. Fall asleep and he'll swipe your fine locks and sell them to Phil Spector.

In Calif, the Today Show doesn't even start til 7am. I'll have to settle for watching Dave hawk his line of CZ jewelry on QVC.
Posted by: SW | September 19, 2007 at 09:37 AM
Well Dave, look at it this way, at least the makeup guy didn't say it!

Salute to our first Pirate President!
... actually, maybe not the first.
Posted by: Meanie the Bluebeard, Pirate Bureaucrat | September 19, 2007 at 09:45 AM
The hair reflects the fine efforts of the Today staff. Lover-ly.
Not to be kissin' up to the Cap'n -- but does he get younger looking every freakin' year? Does he have a portrait in the attic or something?
Posted by: Cheryl (of the plunderin' Cheryls) | September 19, 2007 at 09:46 AM
The Carolinas!!!!! Woooooooo!!!!!!
Posted by: Susan | September 19, 2007 at 09:47 AM
But would "Toilet Supremacy" BAGNFARB?
Posted by: Susan | September 19, 2007 at 09:48 AM
Nice blue shirt Dave, and superb use of the telestrator (™).
Also, excellent job of not letting Al Roker get a word in.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson aka Cap'n Jack Rackham | September 19, 2007 at 09:49 AM
Arrrr! Brilliant! Dave could have re-enacted the Puffy Shirt episode! He would have looked like a pirate on the very day he should look like one!
Arrrr!
Posted by: Cap'n Steve of the Ship 24 | September 19, 2007 at 09:50 AM
Yes, the hair looked lovely - smooth but not quite flyaway. And yes Susan, nice Carolinas reference there.
And he even got an "ARRR" in.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson aka Cap'n Jack Rackham | September 19, 2007 at 09:52 AM
DAVEBOY!!! You did so well and you and your hair looked very nice. I was so happy to see you, did you hear me clapping at the end? all by myself in the living room like a dummy.
Well if you can't get to Atlanta G-A then the Today show is the next best thing.
HAVE A GREAT DAY you all, at least the heat wave is over, love, grammaw marina
Posted by: marina_like_a_boatdock | September 19, 2007 at 09:54 AM
I LOVED the use of the telestrator.
And Dave, you looked just fine. No hair problem that I could see.
Posted by: Susan | September 19, 2007 at 09:56 AM
Is it over already?
Posted by: SW | September 19, 2007 at 09:58 AM
SW he got all of 30 seconds.
marina - I'm there too and yeah, the weather is glorious!
Posted by: C'apn Ronnie Dullblade | September 19, 2007 at 10:01 AM
I just saw on TV that Dave wrote a book. Shiver me timbers.
Posted by: Layzeeboy | September 19, 2007 at 10:01 AM
I'm sure he looked lovely.
Posted by: Cap'n Helga Beerbong | September 19, 2007 at 10:04 AM
dave wrote a book?
*quietly chuckling (in a pirate kinda way of course) at the thought of dave, when confronted by the stylist guys comment, immediately thinking, i have got to tell the blog about this!*
Posted by: crossgirl the fair princess pirate wench | September 19, 2007 at 10:04 AM
ARRRR! I just realized that Barrrrry Manilow is doing his New York publicity tour today, as well.
Hopefully those ships won't sail into the same waters. I fear trouble a-brewin'.

Posted by: daisymae | September 19, 2007 at 10:07 AM

From what I learned on a tour of their current
building, and from various archives: One of the original
donors to build Trinity Church Wall Street [their
first, not 2nd or 3rd, building] was Captain
Kidd! They used his block and tackle to erect the
steeple.....
Posted by: J R Leech | September 19, 2007 at 10:38 AM
p.s.
make that arrrrrchives...
Posted by: J R Leech | September 19, 2007 at 10:40 AM
heh, heh JR Leech said "erect"
The interview just aired in the CDT. And one of our own bloglits (SteveW???) came up with "yes, the United States" for the bumper sticker, right?
YAY, it got a mention!
Posted by: slyeyes | September 19, 2007 at 10:49 AM
I was hoping for an "ARRRRRR"....and Dave did not disappoint! I was sold on the toilet supremacy: where can I get a bumper sticker?
Posted by: Jennifer | September 19, 2007 at 11:01 AM
ARRRRRRRR!!!
How close to the wind can ye steer, mateys?
The pipetad pirated my prior post ...
Posted by: Horse Hung Harry | September 19, 2007 at 11:05 AM
No, sly, the "yes, of the US" was not my baby, tho I'd be proud to have come up with it.
Posted by: SW | September 19, 2007 at 11:14 AM
Dad-O-Lot was the bumper sticker creator.
Posted by: Meanie the Bluebeard, Pirate Bureaucrat | September 19, 2007 at 11:16 AM

Posted by: Pirate Burt the Off-White (aka WriterDude) | September 19, 2007 at 03:42 PM
Cherrrrryl, Barrrry is afraid of tiny pregnant blonde women. I don't see the scurvy dog posin' much of a threat!
