Mike Rowe returns the favor
« on: September 01, 2017, 02:12:52 PM »
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Mike Rowe is the only worthwhile celeb I can think of. 

Good on him.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

I guess I need to go find that episode.  Very cool for Mike Rowe and what that guy is doing.

I don't have the slightest idea who those people are and I'm not hitting wiki to find out,  sorry.

Gary Sinise played Lt. Dan in Forrest Gump, and has subsequentlyu founded the Gary Sinise Foundation and the Lt. Dan Band which donates all the proceeds to Wounded Warriors (the people, not the scumbag foundation) and WWII Vets.

He also takes WWII vets to the WWII Museum in New Orleans.

Well, I'm not taking it personally. Sinise is well-known for actively supporting military members and vets; and Remini has been crusading against Scientology. Oh, and they're both famous for being actors. I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't know who they are, which is fine.

Leah Remini played the wife on The King of Queens.
"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

I'm occasionally tone deaf*, and as a result kind of a dick (far as typed words go).  My apologies for being short.

*also,  utterly ignorant of most popular culture.  I don't watch TV, and haven't really kept up with movies, well... ever.  I've never actually watched Forest Gump.  Bits and pieces, but not sat down and watched the movie.
