LAW is a fitting acronym for Lou Appreciation Week. To know Lou and to appreciate the work he does on The Catholic Guy with Lino Rulli, well, it should be a law to recognize his greatness.

So for this week, we here at catholicguyshow.com will showcase our admiration for the man. Without Lou, the show could not exist. At least, not in it's current form, which is hillarious, awe-inspiring, and just that damn good.

To kick the week off, here is Lino singing "Nothing Compares to Lou" and some Facts of Lou.



The Facts of Lou

• There is no "CTRL" button on Lou Ruggieri's computer. Lou Ruggieri is always in control.
• Lou Ruggieri can kill two stones with one bird.
• Lou Ruggieri can win a game of Connect Four with just three moves.
• Lou Ruggieri doesn't actually write books. The words assemble themselves out of fear.
• Lou Ruggieri ordered a Big Mac at Burger King, and got one.
• Lou Ruggieri and Lino Rulli walked into a bar. The bar was instantly destroyed, as that level of awesome cannot be contained in one building.
• Lou Ruggieri once bet NASA he could survive re-entry without a spacesuit. On October 26, 2003, a naked Lou Ruggieri re-entered the earth's atmosphere, streaking over 14 states and reaching a temperature of 3000 degrees. An embarrassed NASA publically claimed it was a meteor, and still owes him a beer.

Happy birthday to the best technical director that radio has ever seen. Lou doesn't do pushups, mind you: he pushes the earth down! Another interesting fact about our birthday boy is that there is no control button on Lou's computer: Lou is ALWAYS in control.

Best wishes. Hope his weekend is a safe one!

Looks like this week will be a new era in The Catholic Guy show. The new producer, named Ryan (I can't remember the last name), starts this week, and I'm interested to find out if he gets the brunt of Lino's joking, or if he's freakin buff like Lou and could hurt Lino at the drop of a Rosary. (For the record, Lou is the reason that Waldo is hiding).

Since I'm bored at work (yes, I'm at work at 11:13 p.m. central on a Sunday night), I thought I'd share these. While the world may know about Chuck Norris facts, Lou is equal to Chuck in every way, and the facts also apply to Lou Ruggieri.

• There is no such thing as global warming. Lou Ruggieri was cold and turned the sun up.

• There are no steroids in baseball, just a list of players that Lou Ruggieri has breathed on.
