Yes, I was born on the exact same day as Russell Crowe. * * * As the story goes, his Mom went into labor first, and Og Almighty showed up to give him double helpings of Talent, Charisma, Balls, and Business Sense. But it was a long birth, and even Og was tired after showering that many gifts on just one newborn. He started to drift eastward, when one of the Heavenly Host came up to him and said, [Deekin]“Uh, Boss? We gots just one mores to do…”[/Deekin] Now, Og was Tired and he looked around and saw from the Heavenly Host that they were sad seeing him look so tired. And this just wouldn’t do. So suddenly he got a bright idea. Instantly, every single one of them had lit cigars slapped into their kissers as Og himself said out loud, “Look, Boys! No Hands…!” ---
