Carbo and REO Speedwagon lead singer Kevin Cronin: Separated at birth?

Brought to my attention on Twitter.  This is the lead singer of the '80s band REO Speedwagon, Kevin Cronin:

Now, it may be just me but remove the big hair and you've essentially got this:

Uncanny!  Now excuse me, I think I'll go play "Take It on the Run" in my iTunes.

Guest post: "The Day I Was Recalled"

(written by my fiance Erik, with apologies to Don MacLean)

A long, long time ago

In a rink in Halifax

I can still remember

How if I tried my best

I could outskate all the rest

And I'd be called up for a while

But my opponents made me quiver

With every hipcheck they'd deliver

Just let them notice me

Let the phone call be for me

I can't remember if I bawled

The day I got my call

But something changed me deep inside

The day I was recalled.

That call, incidentally, came from the Canadiens in March 1981.  Just a little bit of humor that I found too good to not post.

Carbo cookie!

I just remembered that a few Christmases ago, my dear boyfriend Erik made this:

Carbo, in cookie form -- complete with lucky tie.  He was then promptly devoured by said boyfriend, who noted later that Guy makes a good breakfast.

A funny.

Courtesy of my dear boyfriend, Erik.  This came about when a friend of his did a web search on Guy but accidentally typed "carebearnneau" into the search engine.

Well, Erik got inspired.
