On tonight's tranny with Sir Larry of SHAKE THAT, Jason Goff mentioned that he's fighting a cold which he's determined to not let him miss his scheduled Thursday morning hosting duties with Danny Mac.

This means it's time to observe a moment of silence for THE 2011 MATT SPIEGEL IRON MAN STREAK, which seems like it flirted with being a record ~24 days before the legendary TRIBUTOSAURUS struck and returned us to our reality.

A blessing to some, a punchline to others... Matt Spiegel showed us the kind of dedication that only the most diligent temp worker at a sewage treatment plant might show. Rain? No problem. Sleet? He'll be there. Blizzards? He laughs in their face, a la sjboyd0137... but Tributosaurus? Please. Nothing can stop the legendary Tributosaurus.

It might not matter since we're all going to be dead tomorrow, but should the world continue going forward, we'll only have memories of the glorious ~24 consecutive work days that Matt Spiegel graced us with his indelible presence. In his honor, let's all have a glass of wine while talking about the Red Sox's middle relief.

Oh no, the 2011 MATT SPIEGEL IRON MAN STREAK has nothing to do with the weather... as I noted, he laughed in the face of God's wrath and readied for tomorrow.

On Wednesday night, in the spirit of Balck History Month, every year since 2004 Tributosaurus has earned its streed cred by pandering, erm, paying tribute....O'SAURUS! to the Balck community by donning the guise of one of their musical champions.

With tomorrow night's show at, I believe, Martyr's Club, Thursday morning is a no-go, thus ending the legendary streak. It could be raining nails as Godzilla rises up out of Lake Michigan to rampage downtown Chicago and Speagol (think Lord of the Rings) would be there... but a Tributosaurus gig? #comeonson as they say on twitter.

If his bosses have no problem with it, we shouldn't.

That's kind of what I said. But my mind is weak from carrying this 150 lb. backpack uphill for three miles. Barefoot.

OH... MY... GOD!

Now it all makes sense, with THE GOFF mentioning in passing today that his services won't be required for tomorrow (with the joke being in the wake of Danny Mac not doing a full show due to shit line quality, they only accept full-strength voices on the DMS) so could it be... no! It can't... it's like Sting coming to the WWF for WM27, I'm not going to get my hopes up. I won't allow myself to be destroyed alongside the endless tears of shattered dreams.

But what if... oh my lord, what if the MATT SPIEGEL 2011 IRON MAN STREAK were to continue tomorrow morning?!

/me weeps and adds 9am DER SCHNORE to his appointment book.
