You were probably doing something too interesting - Redrum - 08-31-2010

...so you missed a quick ESPN bio on The Most Interesting Man In the World.   Here\'s a snippet on Jonathan Goldsmith,  who plays the MIMITW

"The man who takes male studliness to new levels while advocating Dos Equis is, in a real life, a 71-year-old Jewish guy from New York who once drove a garbage truck. As a youth he wanted to be a gynecologist, was "dismissed" from New York University and ultimately graduated from Boston U. From there, it took a visit to a psychologist to find acting.

"My father felt like I was having a meaningless existence," Goldsmith said, so he took him to a shrink who advocated acting school.

A most interesting career was born. He waited tables but also worked with legendary playwrights Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams. He made 350 TV appearances in a variety of roles, plus some big-screen roles as well. He became involved in charities for abused children and Siberian tigers"

Well,  it\'s more interesting than who is going to punt against Sac. St.
.

I swear to G*d: my cousin recently posted to his Facebook page a picture he took of this guy at a bar in Vegas drinking a Corona  ;D

Quote:...but when I do, I drink Dos Equis!



In some blog about "interesting" things in college - Redrum - 09-01-2010

And he dropped it right in,  maybe because he has manlove for the guy.

Since he\'s the most interesting man in the world, do you really need a legitimate reason to bring him up, as you do for less interesting men and women?


Well, I was definitely doing something mas interes - Nan3cy - 09-02-2010

Just got back from two weeks in Peru on a "Stanford suitcase seminar". Don\'t go on one of these if you require a lot of relaxation when you travel -- this one was on the go all the time -- but it was definitely worth the exertion (considerable) and the expense (astronomical, at least for our habits). We do now have some appreciation for why the alumni assn. trips are so expensive -- everything was top drawer and run very well. If you see a trip that looks interesting with a faculty member you know and like, swallow hard and write the check -- it\'s worth it. :)


Did you get to throw rotten fruit at Vandersloot? - Redrum - 09-02-2010

I know some people who would like to throw live hand grenades into his cell.

There was time for many Pisco sours, and the Shining Path was nowhere to be seen. We heard some stories, however, about how much fun it wasn\'t when they were still running around. And there\'s some nervousness that they could come back -- which I certainly hope doesn\'t happen.

After all that\'s transpired, live hand grenades might be too kind for him.

I admit I haven\'t tried the amber.  I\'ll give it a shot.  If it pans out, I\'ll work on my piercing gaze and grow a beard.  And maybe I can find a trio of thirtysomething women to hang out with.
