Dear Interim Relevant Podcast Crew: My ManBand: The Old Guy: Mr. T. He’s old, but if you remember his Treat Your Mother Right rap (http://youtube.com/watch?v=7_rBidCkJxo), you know that he’s still got the skillz. The Hearthrob: David Hasselhoff. He’s primed for a comeback after his success with America’s Got Talent;. The Hoff+a leather jacket+a talking car=hearthrob. The Rebel: Bruce Willis. Seriously, who makes a better bad boy? Adds street cred to the ManBand. The Funny/Formerly Overweight Guy: Dwight Evans, aka Heavy D. He isn’t heavy anymore, but he can sing and dance and has had acting roles that include comedy. The Babyface: Billy Gilman. Except for now, call him "Bill Gilman". Though puberty may have phased him out of the public consciousness, no one doubts that he can sing. If the crowd starts booing, he can hit ’em with the puppy-dog eyes. Their debut album would be titled Dyin’ Hard 4 Yr Luv. The track listing: 1 Dyin’ Hard 4 Yr Luv 2 The Hoff’s In Da House 3 Blowin’ Up My Pager 4 Popularity (We Want It Back) 5 When I Was 11 6 Girl 7 Woman 8 Lady (featuring Neil Diamond) 9 No Planes 10 Treat Your Mother Right (Reprise) I’m sure they would be man-tastic. Matt Wheeler Mount Joy, PA yet another man-band featuring elton john! BHROF (baby, heart, rebel, old and funny) : Old: Elton John (can’t deny the token gay guy, 2 for 1) Rebel: brad pitt (12 monkeys style) Funny: Will Ferrell (more cowbell is always needed) Heart throb: josh Hartnett (name says it all) Baby face: Glen Davis ("big baby" / ‘baby shaq") What would an update be without a few mustaches? This guy goes from 0 to gentleman in 3.5 seconds. This one’s what we call a "ginger-stache" We had students from UCF come by the office today. In case your wondering, the cake was delicious. …then things got a little crazy. Believe me, you don’t want to know what happened to Jesse.
