Tacoma Rock City
Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

"Hey, it's Paul Brogan coming live from Tacoma, Washington."

It's a familiar intro if you ever check out those hilarious sports raps from MySpace's super fan, a guy who allegedly resides here in Grit City. But I started to get suspicious when the guy claimed, in one clip, that his favorite players are Steve Nash and Kobe Bryant. Huhn? Whazzupwitdat? Didn't he say he was a Sonics fan?

So I did some cyber-sleuthing and came across this site, with contact info for hiring musical comedy duo Ben & Eric, who appear to be based in So Cal. The guy on that page, doing a "Barack, Paper, Scissors" routing, looks eerily like "Paul's" cooler twin brother, minus the specs and headband. Scandalous, I say! But still pretty durn funny. And, hey, maybe I'm just being cynical. Maybe the guy, located in Bakersfield in one of the clips below, moved up here. Any of you know 'em or seen him at your favorite local haunts?

I was prepping for a Shiny Toy Guns phoner when I learned that they'd done this. Well, not as dorky as R.E.M.'s appearance on "Sesame Street," I guess.
