These are the things I know about you. Is there anything else I should know, or should I just keep reading the last 55 to 60 pages of your previous posts? (Mike I even quoted you)

>That you have sang in at least 15 productions
Who knew that dirt and culture were so closely linked? I've sung in maybe 15 different productions with The Baltimore Company, all standard repertoire. No major roles, just chorus work and some supporting stuff here and there. Last production was Tosca - 1989?
As for you Steve, I would love to hear a rendition of the song you mention. It calls to mind other country favorites that I often find myself humming. Songs like, I Still Miss You Baby, but My Aim's Gettin' Better."08-09-05 02:16 PM
>That you get hurt I've been thrown from horses, kicked by cows, scratched by cats, bitten by an ostrich, rubbed raw by the hide of a shark, bitten (really hard) by a catfish, crapped on by millions of bats, pecked by chickens, stung by lots of bees, attacked by a sewer rat, covered with hundreds of roaches, and profoundly frightened by an alligator. I wrenched my back hauling garbage, smashed my finger with a hammer, smashed my toe with a sledgehammer, cut my arm open on on a rusty nail, burned my eyelashes off in a blacksmiths furnace, and became dehydrated twice, most recently in a New Jersey sludge pit. I've also developed several infections, most probably caused from waste material getting into open wounds. Of those, the scariest was probably the furnace incident, which airs this week. The heat melted my contacts to my eyes, which alarmed me considerably. Safety first, Mike08-21-05 05:28 PM
>>alot In recent months, I have been kicked soundly by a horse, bitten deliberately a pony, thrown to the ground by an ostrich, stung by wasps on several occasions, and blatantly attacked by a sewer rat -- a big one. I have been permanately scarred by a hungry catfish, and scratched up pretty well by an angry cat. I have been covered with cockroaches, overcome with polyurethane resin and Styrofoam particulate, dehydrated in a sludge pit, and had my eyelashes burnt completely off by an errant blast furnace. (I was unable to remove my contact lenses for several hours, as they had melted to my eyes.) In addition, I have smashed both thumbs with a large hammer, run a rusty nail into my arm, and developed several infections that are now more or less under control. I have also wrenched my back, pulled my neck, sprained my middle finger, and sustained a second degree burn while hot tarring a roof in Los Angeles. On the positive side, my left toenail has nearly grown back completely, 4 months after smashing it with a sledgehammer. My eyelashes have also returned, more or less. Stay tuned.

>That one of the first DJ was The very first DJ we shot was a chimney sweep story. It was done in Indianapolis, and never aired for a variety of reasons. We are now talking about re-shooting, or re-editing the original footage. Stay tuned.Mike08-08-05 12:23 PM
>That you have travelled You're referring to Romantic Escapes, a 13 episode series I did for TLC back in 1994. Filming required me to accompany a young, single woman to the most beautiful locations on the planet, and create the illusion of romance. Toward that end, we dined at 5-star restaurants, drank fine wine, slept in opulent suites, and got massages every day. It was unbelievable. Really great. Dirty Jobs is better. Mike08-23-05 11:05 PM

>your feelings about been a S3X symbol I can't speak to the proclivities of sexuality and attraction, but The Poo-Covered Man with Sex Appeal is a fascinating construct. Several points, however.
1. The Poo Covered-Man must have at least some virtue and success to create the necessary dichotomy. (Dirty on the outside, clean on the inside.) A thoughtless cretin for instance, covered in poo, has no real appeal, sexual or otherwise.
2. The Poo Covered Man must not seek out the poo - in order to achieve a level of sex appeal, the poo must come to him. It must be a symptom of his job, not a contrivance. A man who deliberately covers himself in poo, is not sexy.
3. The Poo Covered Man must never, ever, under any circumstances, be covered in his own poo. That, is never sexy.
Having said this, I reject all claims of sex symbolness. Mike01-29-06 10:24 PM
>That at dinner you behave
I am mindful of polite decorum, and temper my dinner conversation appropriately when in public. However, I can think of no topic that would offend me personally. Bring on the poo. Mike01-25-06 01:25 AM
>You do not believe in somethings To my knowledge, there is no credible evidence of any supernatural, paranormal, or ghostly event ever taking place. The desire to believe in such things is undeniable, as is the fun of a good ghost story. But I am skeptical of such things, and personally doubt the existance of Bigfoot, UFO's, ESP, telekenisis, ghosts, goblins, vampires, hobbits, and witchcraft. The James Randi Educational Institute has a long-standing offer of $1,000,000 to anyone who can produce proof of such things. It remains unclaimed. Mike01-22-06 03:10 PM
>That you have signed your name in spanish Nigel is onto something. I would love to do an episode in Spanish, with English subtitles. In fact, as long as we're blueskying, my official answer is this.

Christina
Sorry about this Mike (hope i didn't offend) but this is what happen when I can't sleep, bored and so cold that I'm frozen to the chair.
Bigfoot? He doesn't believe in Bigfoot? *pouts and hangs my head...now I'm *sniffle sniffle...crushed...
*whispers...I saw him once, I did...I really really did and I don't make these things up...you can't around here...but it freaked me out for going out in the bush for six months and I had no choice, I live out here in the bush...it was the eyes...those freaky glowing eyes...DUnnnDUnnnDUnnnn!
Anywayssss...
This is awesome Christina! I did go back at one time for a few posts but I just don't have the time or patience to go back like you have...amazing...like looking through a photo album really...
I often wonder though...if much of his thinking has altered the slightest since the beginning of this board...not for any particular subject, just in general because I certainly don't think the same since I began here...*laughs...
And you know what's REALLY p@thetic??? You understand this Christina, all too well...we've been suffering cabin fever with this -48 weather for almost two weeks now and when it rises to -35 we turn the heat down because it's too warm in the house...Next will be shorts at -24 by the weekend...are we sad creatures or what??? *laughs...
My truck is frozen solid...has been now for three days and I'm still stuck here...Lol...not that I'm complaining...
Thanks bralco! I have yet to go through Rowe's previous posts. I'm too lazy.

That's not sexy. Maybe leaning towards some mental problems. As for Rowe's sex symbolness...it will take ALOT to get people to change their minds about his HOTTTTTTTTNESS..

Christina, Hope Mike comments on this .It's really funny. If he comes around tell him I said Hi! Ihave to work tonight so I have to have a nap now.
Master Po (Mike/Mark) There are a lot of very odd questions on this board tonight .I'm sure glad I'm not you. ..sshh..Watch it!!..I think a couple may be B00by trapped! OH!.. and for your information ,I too,like Starlee have seen BIGFOOT! His feet aren't Really That big ,he stuffs the toes(you know how that is ...lala)!

Even better would be to do a dirty job at a school for the deaf. Rowe and crew failing to learn some sign language only to have the subtitles show "#%$^%&^#%&#"
I like the Ginger or Mary Ann question and his answer was Mrs Howell. I wonder why...could it be a preference for an older rich woman so he could be a kept man?
I also liked that he answered yes to Veronica or Betty.
I can totally see Mike as someones "BOY TOY"!! Mrs. Howell sure missed out didn't she! I am curious as to why he turned down both Daphne and Velma though ? I'm hoping that he was referring to Betty when he said yes there.Veronica was such a self centred tart.I hope Mike's not that attracted to the money aspect? Mike are you that mercenary??...wait Mrs.Howell..Veronica..no to Velma and Daphne(both no money)...definite pattern!!! Mike I am VERY disappointed! Shame,shame, shame,shame on you !!!
Would your answers be the same now?
Christina, I have to work again tonight .We're supposed to be getting a snow storm.Should be fun! I'm off Friday and Saturday night though and maybe we can talk then . I'm only staying up for a little while longer.I haven't been able to sleep much...guess I still have insomnia for some reason!! If Mike stops by say Hi! for me and make him a good stiff drink.(only one- his liver you know) I think he's really going to need it!!
I hope to talk to you when you are off. I alway seem to just miss you.
Please enjoy the the snow, I sent it east with just you in mind and kept the cold for myself. (snicker snicker) We survived the storm and cold, (the car didn't though,the cold killed the battery, bad bad car well it is 18 yrs old).

I'm thinking about posting more facts i found out about Mike from his past posts. (He's mentioned beer or wine at least 92x and he hates secrets)
To my knowledge, there is no credible evidence of any supernatural, paranormal, or ghostly event ever taking place.

Doesn't the man narrate Ghost Hunters?! Odd... (it's VERY interesting and one of my favorite shows, by the way)
To say that you don't believe in hobbits, Mike, is rude at best. You work with one every day! (Gotta love Davey-B)

Starlee did you really see Sasquatch?Really? I BELIEVE.
I did Harold...I really did and never believed in it either...have you ever been hit in the nose with that running thought going through your mind..omg, did that just happen? That's exactly what I was thinking...I couldn't believe it...
It was a strange spring that year, June, dry, and the trees were still b@re and brown and the wind was incredible for days…I was camping with some friends and it was early morning and I had to pEE, so I hiked up the path to the outhouse and thought that a friend was playing a prank on me {again} when I heard the crunching of trees behind me…but the hair on the back of my neck stood and I froze…{never felt anything like that in my life} as this thing walked right by me parallel in the trees…swinging it’s arms, just walking a steady almost profound stride…and then it turned its head and Looked Right At Me, Gahhhh…I still get ill thinking about it…but it never hesitated, not for a second…thrashing until it was gone, all, but the sound of splashing through the creek down the ravine…I don’t have to mention that it rEEked of something I’d never in my life smelt before nor since…but I thought it was the wind blowing the outhouse stEnch my way…
My uncle went back afterwards to look for anything and they did find partial prints, but it was so dry that year that nothing could be verified in that regard…but I turned into a basket case…I couldn’t leave the house for a long time and lost my appetite and frankly, I freaked out…I was terrified all the time…covered my windows with blankets kept the rIfle behind the door and refused to sleep alone or go anywhere near the bush for months until I was advised to get help…*laughs…I know it sounds ridiculous, even for me now looking back in retrospect because I don’t know where or who I was for about six months…
There are a lot of skeptics out there and I used to be one too…but not anymore…if you have ever flown from Vancouver to Yellowknife, or even Whitehorse, you would get an idea at the vast amount of unused country that we have, and then tell me that anything we haven’t discovered yet couldn’t possibly exist out there…
I don’t talk about it much unless I’m asked simply because of being scoffed at, but it doesn’t really bother me so much anymore because I know what I saw and somehow, one day, everyone else will know too…
