between Mel and Kevin

[sergebroom]

Today is Kevin Costner's 55th birthday. It feels weird to think that he's barely 4 months older than me. As for Mel Gibson, who is 8 months younger than me, my wife says I've aged more gracefully than he has.

Your wife is right.

[readinggeek451]

As usual.

OMG, Serge is on fire!

[serge-lj.livejournal.com]

Aw shucks!

[fledgist.livejournal.com]

So she is.

[commodorified.livejournal.com]

Definitely hotter than Mel. Also, saner and smarter.

[serge-lj.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm blushing. I don't know if I'm smarter than Mel, but saner, most likely.

Yet eccentric, in your own lovable way.

[serge-lj.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Isn't it wonderful that we can both admit that we are eccentric, aka off-center, and think "Yes, I am, and is there a problem with that?"

[fledgist.livejournal.com]

I'm not only eccentric but ellipsoid.

[serge-lj.livejournal.com]

Is that better than a rambunctious rhombus?

[rikibeth.livejournal.com]

This.

[serge-lj.livejournal.com]

Definitely blushing.

Mel Gibson was a ruggedly handsome young man in Road Warrior, when I was, I believe, officially too young to see it (or was it only rated PG? My high school laughed at ratings). His disgraceful behavior and reprehensible attitudes since then have ruined any of the physical charm he might still possess.

You, on the other hand, possess plenty of charm, and a dashing sartorial style as well.

Interestingly, Jodie Foster publicly defended him, I think. It may be that, working with her, he saw her as a person. It may be that she is fiercely protective of her friends, flawed as they are. Or it may be both.

Darn, BK beat me to it! Actually, everyone else beat me to the good ones.

Can't beat 'em, so I'm joining 'em: Your wife is right. ;-)

[serge-lj.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I shall savor those words.

I'm bettin' you've taken better care of yourself than Mr. G., and that your bad habits areless,um, unwise than his.

[serge-lj.livejournal.com]

Well, I do drink too much instant coffee.

[fidelioscabinet.livejournal.com]

Oh, my, you do lead a wild, wild life, sir.

[serge-lj.livejournal.com]

I belong with the dregs of human society, I know.

[commodorified.livejournal.com]

Instant coffee doesn't HAVE dregs!

C'mere, you, I saved you a nice comfy spot in the gutter. Excellent view of the stars.

[serge-lj.livejournal.com]

True, there are no dregs there, but don't you know that one must never let accuracy stand in the way of a bad joke?

[pecunium.livejournal.com]

Any instant coffee is too much.

[serge-lj.livejournal.com]

I couldn't agree more, but it's cheaper. Where I work, they don't pay for real coffee, fake coffee, or for caffeinated soft drinks.
