Prior to my ordination I tried my hand at any number of avocations with various degrees of success. One notable exception was my brief stint at a Mexican wrestler. A particular advantage working in this venue is the fact that we wrestle masked. Also, we don't use our real names, but appear under our ring name (El Namo Del Ringo as we called it), so our real identity is rarely known. This might explain why my 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Hanrahan was able to obtain a teaching license in New York City, but that's another story.
My professional name was
Senor Bag Of Crap. For a while I teamed up with my old buddy from
the Bronx, Winona Lipshitz (cousin of the Twins, for those of you
who have been following) Her professional name was Senorita Tapioca
Al Dante. She went on to become a runway model. For a while, she worked at LaGuardia Airport. She also invented Zumba, but lost the
court case -and all that money - on account of when she applied for
a copyright on the name, she spelled it with 2 r's.
I was reminded of it all when I found this sketch from one of our promo pieces. I forget exactly what the point was, but I am sure it made sense at the time.
