He is, the most interesting man in the world. He doesn't always eat, but when he does he eats food. He's so weak he can lift 5000 pounds. He doesn't always live, but when he does he lives dangerously. U2's favorite band is him. He once threw a 99-yard touch down pass to himself. He is allowed to talk about the fight club. He likes piña coladas and getting caught in the rain. If you ain't got money he don't mess with y'all.
