So
you'd like to know a little more about The Answer Man, eh?
We think The Man
was dropped on his head when he was baby. Twice.
And we think it caused brain damage but if that's not what's
wrong with him then we don't know what is. We're just glad
to be on his good side.
The Man is
occasionally funny, often insightful, usually rude and
always moody. The success of his advice
column comes from his uncanny understanding of the human
condition and his ability to say just the wrong thing
at the wrong time - and get away with it. Trust us on
this. We've seen him at those moments when his mouth starts
going and his brain disengages. (Don't tell him we said
that!) But truthfully, he's definitely one of those people
who gets away with saying, or writing, things the rest of us
would never dream of.
Basically, The
Man's a nut. It's no wonder he doesn't have a girlfriend. He likes to sleep until 1PM (yes, every day)
and if we dare call him before noon we better have a damn
good reason or we get the standard "you mean that's
what you woke me up for??!" [Click!]
When he finally
shows up at the office ready to work on his advice column,
or one of his shows
(around 7PM) most of us are already gone. We like it that
way. He's too surly to hang around with for any real amount
of time. Oh sure he's basically a nice, middle of the road
kind of guy (not!). It's just that when he's working,
we don't really want to be around. He's a loud, crabby mess.
But even more then that, he's got this ability to stare
right into a person's mind, as if your head were a big fish
bowl or something. It's really sort of creepy...
One last thing
to know about The Man is that he plays with the Brian Cline
Band from time to time as schedules permit, so we wanted to
put in a little blurb about the powerful tunes by Mr. Brian
Cline. Nefarious Music Magazine called his first album, Hold The Keys, "a
rare treat" and The Record Reviewer gave it an
enthusiastic "Outstanding". If you want to check
out Brian Cline's music for yourself, visit BrianCline.com.
If you want to
write directly to The Man you can contact him at TheMan@TheAnswerMan.com.
Say something nice or he might put a pox on your house. He
did that to one of the guys in the mailroom and we haven't
seen him without a rash in over 5 years. The Man denies
everything, of course.
