Lets Raise Our Glasses  

Posted by Ryan Woods


I first met Paul when I was in New York with a friend of mine. I only saw him from a distance, but I could tell that our relationship would be deep and long lasting. Since that day I have yet to forget the feeling in my stomach when I first laid eyes on his bald little head.
He's famous you know.
He starred on Saturday Night Live for a year. He's had his own sitcom. He's the coauthor of the hit song "It's Raining Men". He was the music director of different Broadway shows, directing such actors as Martin Short, Gilda Radner, John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, and others. He has recorded and performed with Blues Travelers, Diana Ross, Yoko Ono, Cher, Chicago, among others. He acted in such movies as Spinal Tap, Scrooged, and Blues Brothers 2000. And for the last seven or eight decades he's been the loyal sidekick to David Letterman. The only negative about this guy I can see is that he's Canadian.
So lets raise our glasses to Paul Shaffer, he's not dead, but if he were we'd miss him. To Paul Shaffer, a mans man!

i hate paul shaffer! you dont really like him do you? he thinks hes sooo funny on letterman, but he is not. not one bit. and i think hes blind.

(does that look like i hate him because hes blind?? that is not he case, folks.

I just want to know where he gets his head wax! When I shaved my head the last time, it gets really itchy. Also, he is always very shiny. Shiny things make me smile.

what the crap is going on!?

I feel so out of the loop.

Okay, while Paul is a pretty cool guy, he can't hold a candle to William Shatner!!

I've got the Shat's newest album "Has Been" (a project written, recorded, and produced by Mr. Shatner and Ben Folds 5) and now my feet are cold because that CD rocked my socks off!

And if THAT'S not enough, check out the link below that shows William's true and total domination over all things Cool! (sorry, I don't know how to hyperlink in HTML)

Ryan, I appreciate your willingness to do such extensive research on Paul ... but is this a demonstration of aimless, purposeless web surfing?

And, Chris, William sports a much nicer rug on Boston Legal than the one he wore in 1978!

I actually did the research before lent began. And no, Tara, I don't actually like Paul. I just found it amusing that he wrote It's Raining Men. Thats what got this all started. It's raining men? Hallelujah? It's raining men? Come on people thats pretty dang funny right?

i'm coming after you, yankee.
