He was actually a really nice guy. Was kinda hard to tell if he seriously believed what he was saying, or is just a really good Vegas showman. The one thing I do respect is that he doesn't seem to be out to bilk little old ladies out of their money. Most of his money comes from people paying to see one of his shows, or from radio syndication. He doesn't run a "Pay me $100 and I'll cure your arthritis or let you talk to your dead husband" kind of racket.

And he's sinking a lot of personal funds into spiffing up the local economy in his old hometown (which is where I met him -- was staying at a B&B that he built by purchasing an renovating a dilapidated historic hotel). Okay, so he's eccentric. And dat hair...but hey, the world needs more colorful characters.

I've learned that anyone can be "nice and friendly" but be totally insane and incredibly cruel as well.

I'll grant the insane part, but definitely didn't seem cruel. More of an affable nutter.
Besides, he made some awesome sausage gravy. Anybody who makes gravy like that can't be evil.  :P

I got the impression Euld was talking vaguely about something else entirely.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

In my experience, just because someone is friendly doesn't mean they're good, and some of the best people I've known have a pretty wide misanthropic streak.

Me, I'm trying to be the good man with the misanthropic streak...

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Just chillin here on my computer with two of my friends hiding in my closet next to me.

One of them freaked out because she's graduating and she's hiding from her family. Her boyfriend is in there with her trying to convince her to at least come out long enough to say goodbye to them.

Er yeah I was trying to say that just being nice isn't a qualifier for a good person anymore.  In my opinion anyway.  At my current school all teachers are "friendly and nice" but many couldn't teach their way out of a wet paper bag.

In my experience, the less nice a person is at my school, the better they are at teaching.  All the really nice teachers can't teach a single thing.
