Doug Blake grew up in Charleston SC before moving to Ledyard CT where he
decided to attend UCONN. After 2 years of UCONN of which he remembers none
he transferred to Georgia Southern University. Doug quickly became involved
in Theatre and radio station WVGS where promoters called him. Doug
discovered that these guys got paid to talk to him and decided that’s what
he wanted to do. Doug then moved back to CT and became Manager of a Local
restaurant before moving to Boston. Once in Boston Doug sent a resume every
week( EVERY WEEK) to Planetary before they called him and asked him that if
they gave him a job would he stop sending resumes. He agreed. After many
adventures at Planetary Doug wanted to pursue his love of wine. Upon leaving
Steve told Doug that he should join up and try promotion some more under the
name VIKING. Doug thought the name Viking was really stupid and said he
would come on board if it were called Pirate! Doug likes to cook, drink
wine, eat nachos, bowl, play tennis and make valentines mix cds. He has a
cat named Killer.
Brooke on Douglas:
Doug purchased some tripe once from a man that claimed his name was Rick
James Brown. He convinced Howie Mandel to let him trade it for a date with
the $50 briefcase chick on “Deal or No Deal”. Turned out to be not such a
sweet deal. Doug wants to be the first man in history to give birth to
Bindi Irwin and the other day I saw Marcel from Top Chef sit next to him on
the train and offer him some tomato foam. He got kicked off the train for
eating it (duh, read the new rules) and had to pack his knives and go.
Sometimes when Doug is asleep he can perfectly imitate the sound of a
bowling ball knocking down pins with all hardness in a killer strike
maneuver. He plays the clavicle in all “Wolf” and “Bear” bands and has had
a luminous and successful acting career as the female lead in Showgirls, The
Bodyguard and Swept Away. He won’t tell you he was the choreographer for the
famed N’SYNC concert “Pop Odyssey 2001″ (he was!) and despite what some
people say, Doug IS America (it’s true! red white n blue!).
BB: Did you ever use the communal showers in the boys locker room in school?
DB: Ledyard CT has a population of 14,687 people and is named after Colonel
William Ledyard a revolutionary war Era Solider who is infamous for being
killed with his own saber after surrendering to the British at Fort
Griswold. In his Will Colonel Ledyard requested that a high school be named
after him and that the students have personal showers.
BB: If you could put any sports team on a flaming battleship to meet their
demise who would it be and why?
DB: I would put the 1994 Yankees. By placing the 1994 Yankees on a flaming
battleship I would then stop them from winning the world series 4 of the
next 6 years. I would then have the Dallas cowboys be the only people able
to help them in hopes that they too would perish at sea and if that did not
work I would hire jaws to eat them.
BB: 13 Going on 30, My Father the Hero or Beaches?
DB: You know Gerard Depardieu is one of my favorite actors ever.

BB: Give a percentage rate for how good you think you smell all the time. If
it’s not 100% please offer some suggestions as to how to improve on this.
DB: 75% of the time I smell good. of the 25% I do not smell good 10% is
because I had just played basketball and forgotten to bring a change of
clothing afterwards and am therefore riding the train smelly. the other 15%
is from hanging out in your closet as your roommate refers to as the
BO-DOME. So maybe if I hung out there less.
BB: Who at Pirate! would you trust with your life and know would save you if
you were about to be thrown into a volcano by the Capital One Vikings and/or
tribesmen?
DB: Does Tom hanks work at Pirate? cause he was in that movie castaway and
was able to communicate with a volleyball and if you can communicate with
one of those then you can surely communicate with the Vikings and or
tribesmen. I would like to announce we are going to hire Tom Hanks.
