How 'bout a little game of "Who Is It?":
"He is, hands down, the palest Arizonan I have ever seen, a condition exacerbated by his jet-black hair, which is heavily gelled. He's wearing a gold watch, black tasseled loafers, beige dress slacks, and a Tommy Hilfiger polo shirt that looks as if it's been washed two hundred times. His wallet makes a giant bulge on his hip. If I didn't know who he was, I'd assume he was selling aluminum siding."

Good guess, but nope, it's not Ed Farmer.
FWIW, I probably couldn't identify this person based on that description either.

HINT: There's a reason this is posted in the CFCL Discussion forum and not the Trivia forum...

Jason Grey?

Right you are! As I said, I'm not sure I'd agree with the description (I can't say I ever saw Jason as an aluminum siding salesman), but that's how Sam Walker describes Jason in his first appearance in "Fantasyland", the book Walker wrote about his experience playing in ToutWars. Walker goes on to write: If oddsmakers put a line on Tout Wars, Grey would be favored at about four to one. After winning the last two titles and finishing third as a rookie, he owns the highest scoring average in the competition's history. Shandler calls him "the cream of the crop" and fellow titlest Lawr Michaels "the best Rotisserie player I have ever seen."High praise, indeed! If you haven't done so yet, I'd suggest you get yourself to a bookstore and get a copy of "Fantasyland" post-haste. It's a heck of a lot of fun, made moreso by the fact that we've gone up against Jason ourselves. David |

David, I have thought about this question the entire day, and while you may say it is Jason, I am going to stick with my original guess of Matt! |

Two against one is just not cool. Especially since I can still stop payment on that check I sent you Dave.  And Steve, I could always "accidentally" drop those Brewers betting slips in the paper shredder.  Mahalo Matt |

To be honest, my second guess - instead of Grey - was going to be Matt. But the "Arizonan" description didn't fit. Neither did the slicked back hair, but I don't know that Matt doesn't take on a new personna when he goes out west.

Jason's not a bad looking guy, and when someone compares me to him, I feel good. (like anyone's every confused me for Jason!) |

Just for the record, while I have dabbled in the dark arts and tested various rouges and the eyeballs of bunnies, I have NEVER used any product in my hair. It only looks like it when I miss my weekly Saturday shower. Plus that bulge on my hip ain't no wallet ... Mahalo Matt PS. I'm pretty much the same whenever I visit the Mountain Time Zone. I do use the moniker Buck Naked when in those parts though. |
