Always with the goose thing! It's been 13 years, dammit

I'd hit that.

Little-known fact, there, Normie—back when I had long hair and a ponytail, I was known among my co-workers as "robbio!"

I saw this vision with mine own two eyes! In person he looked exactly like Gaston's noble steed from Beauty and the Beast.

I can't believe it's not butter!

never forget a hollywood event i attended in the '90s, where fabio was seated at a table with dr ruth, and they seemed to hit it off in a nice way.

I have a Fabio story. That bastard.

My family was on vacation in Miami. The pinnacle of the vacation was the dinner at the infamous Joe's Stone Crab. If you've never been there... it's amazing. Or it was.

Joe's is old school and does not take reservations. You slip the Maître d' a twenty (or in our case a fifty because there nine of us) and then tell him the password. Yes. There's a password. And fuck you guy's I'm not telling you. Eh. It could be bullshit, anyway.

So we slip the Maître d' some cash and give him the high-sign. And he says "Yes Sir, just twenty minutes!" Where as other people have been waiting for an hour or more. Twenty minutes goes by. And then twenty more. What's up I ask. "Yes Sir, just ten minutes!" Excellent. My mother is beginning to get a bit drunk and on the verge of singing King of the Road. So we better eat soon. Finally the Maître d' saunters over "Your table is r..."

And then suddenly he turns, his eyes brows pop up, and he yells" Ladies and Gentleman - it's FAB-io! FAB-io is here! Right this way FAB-io. And he up and takes that son-of-a-bitch and his entourage to our table.

He then comes back a few minutes later. "Mr. FAB-io isn't it exciting... Oh. You. It will be a half hour... "

'Hey! What about my fifty?"

"Ok...maybe an hour."

OMG.

Fabio did not invent the cotton gin.

He invented the hot flash.

Fabio cured my tape worm. True story.

Alright, that last picture alone has made me suddenly like Fabio. Awesomely adorable.

I absolutely love that picture of the reservist.

@7 Serves you right.

Based on my encounter with him at Whole Foods in another city earlier this year, I concur...he really likes connecting with people...he has a good sense of humor...and he knows WAY more than he should about whey protein.

Thank goodness my trademark is not shoulder length hair.
