Marc Fisher heralds the expansion of the Carvel ice-cream franchise in DC, several people clarify that it was in the area all along, and a commenter identifying himself only as "Tom Carvel" mentions that the ads featuring the real Tom Carvel's ravaged voice used to run all the time on WDCA-20 in between the Jhoon Rhee martial arts ads, as partiallyclips and others can undoubtedly confirm.

The nature of Carvel's ads tended to make people think they were a purely local phenomenon. I can crack Sam up by launching into a sixteen-pack-a-day spiel about Fudgie the Whale, and she was initially surprised that he wasn't just a New England institution.

You know, I went to the same college as Patton Oswalt at the same time, and if only I had ever actually met him, I could claim he stole all his jokes from me and somebody might believe me.

As it was, we did end up getting humor pieces printed in the same campus magazine, on which I also worked as a proofreader. At the time, neither of us was actually that good; he was probably slightly funnier. But I can say that I protected Patton Oswalt's early material from misplaced commas.
