He Is The Most Interesting Bruin In The World
Bumped. Seems like the perfect thread to take us into this weekend. GO BRUINS. -N
"He is the most interesting Bruin in the world"
He once caused Reggie Bush to fumble simply by looking at him.
He is the reason Pete Carroll moved to Seattle
All of UCLA's NCAA Championships were the direct result of his presence.
He is singlehandedly remodeling Pauley Pavilion using hand tools.
He first visited campus in 1950 and was immediately awarded a PhD.
His stare has been known to cause cheerleaders to swoon.
He once clapped his hands to get a bartender's attention and invented the "8-count".
"I may not always watch college athletics, but when I do, I prefer the Bruins."
OK, guys...feel free to add as many as you can.
"Stay Bruins my friends."

Nice!
Last time I went there, guy behind the counter walked up behind me and said “too much meat!”, I responded “It’ll be ok” and continued to pile it on.
The best I've ever seen anyone do it
is take a Snapple bottle, flatten the meat against the sides of the bowl with the bottle, and continue piling.
I just used a napkin to flatten it all
but the real trick is to “extend” the top of the bowl by first placing the meat in sorta vertically against the edges. Increases the capacity quite a bit!

I thought I would find out more
According to the most unimpeachable source there is, aka Wikipedia, the most interesting man is sometimes confused with an actor named Jonathan Goldsmith nee Jonathan Lippe. Like the most interesting man in the world, his doppelganger does not watch TV, he appears on TV – he’s been in lots of things.
I thought the most interesting quote from Jonathan Goldsmith elevated him toward most interesting man status: “Goldsmith supports the S.A.B.R.E Foundation whose mission is to protect and preserve the Siberian Tiger and has had the opportunity to feed a Siberian Tiger by hand.”
“I don’t always eat raw meat,” he says to the tigers, “but when I do, I prefer the wildebeest.” Then he adds, “Yes, my friends, stay hungry.” (And at the bottom of the screen it says “Always eat responsibly.”"
Love it!
I saw him interviewed on a Dodgers broadcast a few weeks ago. Goldsmith was going to throw out the first pitch. He has been an actor for over 30 years and sounds nothing like his Dos Equis character. In fact, he sounds a lot like my relatives from NYC :)
I may work with the Waves, but I'm still a Bruin!
(Formerly "HoozierDaddy")
If he had a booth on Bruin Walk
people would pay him for his fliers.
I realize this great thread has run its course but here’s one more
Dan Guerrero said, "I just spoke to three wealthy and influential alums and I think we need to give Dorrell one more year to see if he can turn it around."
And he said, "No."
