The Townleybomb - 2009-01-13

Mike Rowe is awesome in every possible way. Holy damn would I fuck his stuffing right out.


mouser - 2009-01-13

Would you bite his testies out?


simon666 - 2009-01-13

I have thought Mike Rowe is a man I wish to model myself after. No joke. He's manly in the outdoors/naturalist kinda of way, he is studied and articulate, and has an understanding of the working class.


The Townleybomb - 2009-01-13

I would only bite them out in a loving and consensual way (or if I planned to eat him later)

also word up to simon666 he also knows that cats like crinkling sounds and that is the kind of practical knowledge that can make a guy really useful around the house.

Interesting dog-and-pony from a documentarian I respect. Where was he talking?


fluffy - 2009-01-20

According to fora.tv, it's at something called "The Entertainment Gathering," which took place in Monterey, CA.

awesome choice as a commencement speaker


heyitslozeau - 2009-01-13

this was fantastic.


Helena Handbasket - 2009-01-13

Mike Rowe is probably one of my favorite human beings ever.


HarrietTubmanPI - 2009-01-13

People need to hear this.


TeflonDoc - 2009-01-13

I'll never scoff at the people presenting on Home Shopping Network again... At least until the next time someone gets a sword tip lodged in his retina.


fluffy - 2009-01-13

Mike Rowe was not like any other HSN presenter before or since.


kennydra - 2009-01-13

This man is seriously up there on my list of personal heroes, alongside the likes of Frank Zappa and Brendon Small.


Lauritz Melchior - 2009-01-13

Just because I'm a dick about language, I have to point out that he reversed the definitions of anagnorisis and peripeteia.


kennydra - 2009-01-14

anagnorisis [an‐ag‐nor‐ĭs‐is] (plural ‐ises), the Greek word for ‘recognition’ or ‘discovery’, used by Aristotle in his Poetics to denote the turning point in a drama at which a character (usually the protagonist) recognizes the true state of affairs, having previously been in error or ignorance.

peripeteia [pe‐ri‐pĕ‐tee‐ă] or peripety [pe‐rip‐ĕti], a sudden reversal of a character's circumstances and fortunes, usually involving the downfall of the protagonist in a tragedy, and often coinciding with the ‘recognition’ or anagnorisis. In a comedy, however, the peripeteia abruptly restores the prosperity of the main character (s).

Isn't that what he said?


Lauritz Melchior - 2009-01-14

He kept on referring to peripeteia as the moment of awareness.


voodoo_pork - 2009-01-14

The war on work is being won by poetv.com. Where no one does any work except for chet!


Ursa_minor - 2009-01-14

Despite being Mike Rowe, who gets 5 stars regardless - this is also a great talk.


Infamous - 2009-01-14

Jesus. This really hit kind of close to home for me.


rustedmutt - 2009-01-14

I love this man.


Corman's Inferno - 2009-01-14

HSN probably made sure to never hire anyone like him again, either.


PegLegPete - 2009-01-14

Totally awesome. Finally someone speaks about the people who really matter in this world.


CornOnTheCabre - 2009-01-15

that's it - I'm getting a job at the mill.


Rodents of Unusual Size - 2009-01-15

The sense of complacency line was worth five stars alone.


baleen - 2009-01-19


This guy is totally going to be a senator.


splatterbabble - 2009-02-22

I've been linking to this one for a while. Beautiful!


Sprinkles - 2009-08-31

If Mike Rowe walked up to me and asked me to marry him, I'd say yes without hesitation.


Potrod - 2010-02-23

I like him, he's cool, he even makes some good points, but he's left me mostly unconvinced in this video.


MurgatroidMendelbaum - 2011-02-10

I'm not even sure what he was talking about, and I'm still convinced.


Kojack13 - 2010-06-07

Mike Rowe for president? I'm just sayin
