Look at this guy! |

This is Scott L. Schwartz. If you ever get into trouble, you'll want him on your side. This guy means business. And his business is playing big and bad. Big may come easy, because he's 6'10" and weighs about 300 pounds. I'm not sure how he pulls off the bad part though, because he actually seems to be very... Well, never mind. Just click on the banner and get ready for some action. ![]() www.ultimatebadguy.com |
Once upon a time there was a man with a gentle voice and quiet charm.
He made several movies and worked in a TV show playing a character who
rode a motorcycle from town to town, touching lives, and singing a little here and there.
Then some of us didn't hear much of him for awhile. We wondered if he would ever come to sing for us again.

Michael Parks

This editor once tried to find a bathroom in a neighborhood of a major West Coast city
where bathrooms were scarce and those that existed were a little less than
well-kept. Everybody has to go, so before you get stuck having to go in a
strange place, check out
The Bathroom Diaries, where people share both good and bad experiences
with rest rooms. If you don't take time to explore the whole site, at least
check out
The Golden Plunger awards.
