I bet if we really applied ourselves, we could get Alton Brown to make an appearance. Or Wil Wheaton. They seem like Doper-types.

Your uncle sounds riveting! NOT!

I’d have hit on [Isis](http://www.retrocrush.com/babes/isis/default.htm) too, tho…

Aw shucks. I was hoping your uncle was cutie-pie Nicholas Hammond, of _Spiderman!_ fame\*. Those silly, ropy webs… 😃  
\*He also played Friedrich Von Trapp in **The Sound of Music**. You know _he_ would have some entertaining stories!

Impressive! … but I was hoping for [The Greatest American Hero!](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081871/)

(All I need is an FBI agent friend, a hot girlfriend, and an advanced suit from aliens, and it would be my life story. I’m a curly haired teacher… )
