The Pitch

Noah is talking to his old bandmate Gary, who says to Noah, " So Dave's lost his voice and can't do the show on Saturday. You in?" Noah sighs and replies, "Dunno, Gary. I'd like to, but Ruth hates Marilyn Manson. That's why I had to quit the band." Gary rolls his eyes and says, "Oh, c'mon! Live a little." Noah scowls and says, "Ruth would kill me." Gary sneers and retorts, "You gotta stop letting your ol' ball and chain tell you what to do."Noah rolls his eyes and shrugs his shoulders, saying, "One could say the same thing about my ol' bandmates."

 

It’s true that Noah and Ruth first met at one of Noah’s old Marilyn Manson tribute band gigs, but it didn’t take long before Ruth put an end to Noah’s Antichrist Superstar impersonation days.

Ursula comes to Noah looking for candy, only to find Noah's been eating her Halloween haul.The Dad Tax Ursula comes up to Noah in the attic (still rummaging through the bin of his old stage clothes). She asks, "Whatcha doing, Daddy?" He replies, "Oh, I'm just organizing my old stage costumes." Ursula plucks out the now-torn Marilyn Manson-inspired sheer bodysuit with feather epaulets and holds it up, leaning back in recoil, and says, "What on earth..." Noah smiles and tells her, "Daddy used to wear that when he sang in a Marilyn Manson tribute band." Incredulous, Ursula asks, "You wore pantyhose?" Noah scowls and snaps back, "It's not pantyhose, it's a sheer bodysuit." Ursula makes a disgusted face and asks, "Does Mommy know about this?" Noah grins and tells her, "I was wearing that when I met Mommy." Ursula holds the bodysuit up again and asks, "Why's the butt ripped out?" Noah looks off to the side, embarrassed, and replies, "Because Mommy might be right about eating salad for lunch."January 20, 2023: The Critic Noah’s Diary: February 10, 2026 Noah’s Diary: February 24, 2026
