I though he was frikkin hilarious when I was a kid. Reminds me a lot of the pseudo intellectuals I've met in real life as an adult.

This is supposed to be for famous people. Besides, I never saw him the one time I was in the Silver Slipper.

Not quite as famous as others, but since we probably have some Syracuse folks on the board, Fab Melo passed away in Brazil at age 26.
