I remember 20 years ago when we used to see that guy around, usually at a restaurant or something. Even in a town full of deluded weirdos, he stood out as a hawkwind tool asswipe. I'd say to my GF, "look, it's Fabio!" And she would say, "I'm going to faint". It was our little running joke.

We were at the Sundance resort on Wednesday. There was some dude swaggering around with long hair like Fabio, lots of gold and tats, and big black boots. We we all speculating he was there to be discovered by Robert Redford.

My wife and I have the same joke. He lives down the street from us and we frequently run into him in the grocery store. He always says "hi" and seems nice enough. He's a huge motorcycle enthusiast.

He might be a nice guy but he sure comes off as a schmuck.
