i always get telly savales mixed up with every other bald person

You're why I wrote this post then, honey.

I just think it's funny to say "I didn't know Telly Savalas was in this movie" every time it has a bald guy. Especially if that bald guy is named Vin.

I notice that the above article neglects to mention how a young Telly was friends with my grandpa when they were kids. I find such glaring omissions discredit the overall authority of the information.

But it also says that Teddy only spoke Greek when he entered high school. That's why a lot of his early years are lost.

I mean...who speaks Greek these days?

I was expecting more information on his groundbreaking role as "Crazy Rapist" in The Dirty Dozen.

Yeah, but any fool could go to IMDB and find that out.

I'm talking about Telly Savalas the man, not the actor...

I also have a degree in psychology (and am working on two more!) but I am terrible at poker (even Lady Gaga could read my puh puh puh poker face) and refuse to ride a motorcycle.

I know! We're all very proud of you over here at Posteverything HQ. It'll be nice to say that I knew Lucky Lawrence McGillicutty "before he got large." And I ain't talking about you ever gaining weight because everybody who's anybody knows that isn't going to happen. Ever.

Who's Lady Gaga?

I'm afraid that I may never understand what it is that drives your creative genius...

posteverything April 20 2009, 01:24:38 UTC

I'll enlighten you, then, anonymous. In increasing order of importance:

5. Nap Time
4. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
3. The New Pornographers and New Pornographers derivatives.
2. Children fighting
1. Potato Oles from Taco Johns

Let me know if you have any questions. Nudes pls.

Children fighting is awesome... especially gladiator style.
