His father was/is called 'Big Russ' not to be contaminated by referring to

Of course, browsing Wikipedia for five hours or more

think he looked younger.

He was always smiling and happy, full of enthusiasm. The kind of guy you'd

I don't look at the hair. Even men dye it these days, especially
when they're in broadcast media, and hair plugs or high quality rugs

inconvenience for the airine. They'll charge $20 for an airline employee
to remove them.
