Dirty, dirty boy

And now, a haiku:

i do love mike rowe
dirty jobs, he is the man
so pretty messy!

Dirty Jobs on The Discovery Channel is probably my favorite show on television right now. Mike Rowe is an absolutely gorgeous guy, with no shame about taking his shirt off, but better than that, he's funny! In a past life he used to pimp Diamonique® on QVC and once sang with the Baltimore Opera! Wait a second. Hmm. He's from Baltimore. That might mean he's a Ravens fan. Well, nobody's perfect.

What I love about the show is that it champions those nasty jobs nobody wants to do but still have to be done. Most of us are lucky and get to be reasonably clean throughout the day. Mike lets you know that it's only dirt (or bat shit or tar or fish guts or whatever) and it WILL wash off. Nothing wrong at all with good, honest, dirty work.

Also, I'd like to go on record right now as volunteering to give Mike a good scrubbin' any time he needs it.
