Harold Butler

Richard E. Meyer and Melvin Owens

Songwriters who are responsible for the Super Bowl Shuffle lyrics.

Amelia Earhart

I asked my wife to give me a name and she gave me Amelia Earhart even thought she claims that she meant to say Flannery O’Connor.  Whatevs.

Jeffrey M. Jones

Experimental playwright who wrote Seventy Scenes of Halloween, just about the best play on God’s green earth.

Ken Edwards

Guinness world record holder.  Big Ken ate 36 cockroaches in one minute.

Andrew Stockdale

Lead singer of the aforementioned Wolfmother, he of the beautiful fro.  Joker and the Thief is a rad song to run to but nothing beats Avenged Sevenfold’s Trashed and Scattered.

M. Shadows

Lead vocalist for Avenged Sevenfold, whose City of Evil is the rockinest thing since sliced bread.  I read an article on them once, wherein they vowed their allegiance to hard drugs, broads, and the Republican party.  Avenged is the BEST music to run to.  Even better than Wolfmother, which is saying something.

Jessica Hagy

Blogger and brain behind Indexed.  I way geek over Venn diagrams so Hagy’s speaking my language.  She’s more fluent than I am, but still.

Björn Borg

Swedish 1970s tennis great.  Borg rocked it with the special headbands.

Gerry Thomas

1950s Swanson salesman and inventor of the TV dinner.  Beautiful Swanson TV dinner ads here.

Chris Columbus

Prolific film industry jack of all trades, who we’re thinking about today because he wrote Gremlins and The Goonies.  This guy’s head gave us Mogwai AND Chunk.  God bless Chris Columbus.

Jus Rhyme

Jus Rhyme got das boot from White Rapper Show last night.  Lands-o-goshen, this white rapper was wack.  He attempted one of the worst battle freestyles I have ever seen.  Ever.  We are down to two: John Brown and Shamrock.  Viva King of the Burbs.
