My email is martycorrenti@yahoo.com let me know when you want to set up an interview. Myself and Captain Bayonne will be Marching in the ST. PATRICK'S DAY PARADE in Bayonne on Sunday March 20th. Parade starts at 1pm and goes along Broadway through town. Stop on by and see the parade.

I am the rival he speaks of. I am Gasman. I will fart on all the residents of Bayonne while he tries to stop me. Check out the film that was filmed in Bayonne Called "The Revenge of Gasman " staring Marty Correnti as Gasman and Captain Bayonne as himself.

Each time I pick a story to read, I try to be random. Kind of avoided the superhero/tights thing and this again was great. Your questions always flow, even when the interviewee brings up Fart Man (and says look em up if you don't believe me)

As for the reviews, the 1 and 5 star reviews are where the action is at. 1-star Eiffel Tower and 5-star Arby's. Life in a nutshell.

Thanks for fun reads!

Talk about inspiring! The idea that we could each be out bettering our towns as local superheroes might be JUST what the world needs right now.

I trying to figure this out for myself. "Captain Brookyn Heights" doesn't have the same ring to it though.

Big YES to this guy! This is my favorite kind of story. It gives me so much delight to know that people aren't afraid to embrace their inner quirkiness.
