I once met Leonard Cohen and Captain Kangaroo on the same day.

I am related to Flora MacDonald who saved Bonnie Prince Charlie.


I thought you being Scottish and all, this would be more something to regret?

Did they cover the Electric Slide? Or "Celebrate?"

Is that true or did you just drag all your friends down to Lounge Axe after the town hall?

That's very cool. Did they play anything strange, covers etc?

Mrs the Classical and I shouted requests and they did attempt to play some covers at one point, which was very funny, as you can no doubt imagine

My wife is an award-winning actress.

I have climbed Mount Fuji.

I have reached first base with at least two members of each of the three major Abrahamic faiths.

My father was nominated for an Emmy.

My grandfather (by marriage) is George Jellicoe, 2nd Earl Jellicoe, KBE, DSO, MC, PC, the longest serving member of the House of Lords, having taken his seat in 1939.

I have been drunk once, and other than that have used no recreational drugs.

I scored 178 on the LSAT.

My great-grandfather was an attorney who defended the first person tried for murder in Battle Creek. He also defended the Purple Gang. He also lent W.K. Kellogg some of the money to start Kellogg's cereal. He was offered a chance to become a partner, but declined, as he thought there was no future in cold cereal.

Another of my ancestors was a POW in Andersonville. After the war, he walked back to Michigan.

Yet another was so drunk on the morning he and his family were to set off from Ireland to the new world that he slipped off the dock, hit his head, and drowned.

Yet another was the second man to sign the Declaration of Independence.



Oh crap, most of these aren't really about me. But all of them are true.

I rarely wear underwear, but when I do it's something exotic.
