Eric shared with Howard how his friend had called him and told him that the python he had held was probabaly thinking he was food (DUH, check earlier post).  Eric went on to say that Johnny Fratto was considering buying the snake, putting it in Eric’s house, and making a reality show of it. Everyone loved this idea, and someone even suggested that they starve the snake and have Eric dress up in a mouse costume. Howard said that season 1 could be called “Eric and the Snake” and season two would just be called “The Snake”.

Hopefully Johnny Fratto can get this show into production right away.

Well the show is back from vacation, and what a vacation it was for our midget friend. Eric did in fact make it to Las Vegas (zomg) where he enjoyed the company of an erotic magician and python. I guess the word “enjoy” might be a bit of a strech because in some of the pictures it looks like Eric is crapping his pants while holding the python.

That thing looks pretty hungry to me!

Looks like Eric is planning on attending, that is, until he backs out at the last second for some bullshit reason. Here’s a snippet from a press release I recieved a while ago:

LAS VEGAS, NV (August 22, 2008) – Perry Mann’s Exotic Erotic Strippers and Hustlers Ball (August 30 and 31, Orleans Arena, Las Vegas) announce major additions to its already burgeoning talent lineup. Johnny Fratto – a major Hollywood personality, businessman, owner of Beverly Hills Choppers (www.beverlyhillschoppers.com), reality TV program producer, and frequent guest on The Howard Stern Show will be showcasing his latest venture – Mob Candy Magazine, and helping to judge the strippers competition.

In addition, he’s known on the Howard Stern Show by a multitude of monikers, including Eric the Astronaut, Eric the Actor, Eric the American Idol Expert, and even though he hates it, Eric the Midget. But, whatever you want to call him, Eric will be joining Mr. Fratto at the Strippers and Hustlers Ball, making short appearances for photo-shoots, meet-and-greets, and autograph signings.

Perry Mann, founder of the Strippers and Hustlers Ball, states, “He may be short in size, but he’s big on entertainment value. His immense personality and enormous ability to enthrall, captivate, deliver big laughs, and keep everyone hanging on for his next massive idea, thought and word has made Eric a perfect addition to The Ball’s burgeoning talent line-up.”
