Proprietor note: Anytime a Commenter Of the Week includes a picture of him/herself with Rainn Wilson, there is a 100 percent chance we will use that picture with the post. OK, LatteWarrior has the floor (and if you don’t know why he won, please refer to this +100 comment). Latte?

Winning a COW is sort of like finding out that your pilot was picked to replace Family Ties in the time slot between “Cosby” and “Cheers” on Must-See TV Thursdays. It’s an honor, sure, and a tremendous opportunity, but nobody really cares. You’re just filler between Rand and Stu, who leads into Marthaler (the “Night Court” of RandBall’s star-studded lineup).

Dave MN, who has enjoyed a geek-to-chic transformation not unlike Kadeem Hardison’s Dwayne Cleophus Wayne, is our “A Different World.” Joker, a classic man-[redacted] in the mold of Steven Weber’s Brian Hackett, is our “Wings.”

So where does that leave lattewarrior? We’re getting to it.
If we fast-forward to the early 1990s, and use Friends and Seinfeld in our model, a smorgasbord of new possibilities is created. Sweet and likable AZ Gopher Girl is an easy choice for “Mad About You.” Then we’ve got the funny yet underappreciated Brandon, who is our “Boston Common.”
“Just Shoot Me?” Sounds like a Bears fan, jama. Fasolamatt has a thing for the Muppets so he can be “Caroline in the City,” which starred Lea Thompson as a love-starved cartoonist.

That leaves lattewarrior to be RandBall’s The Single Guy. Fitting, since everyone else seems to be getting married and my career arc mirrors that of Jonathan Silverman.

On our way to get breakfast Sunday morning, my buddy John and I were listening to Eddie Vedder’s Into the Wild soundtrack. Amazing record. [Proprietor note: Agreed]. Anyway, John remarked how much he’d love to hang out with Vedder. I agreed, but substituted Dave Grohl. Eventually, we began putting together our dream bowling teams. If you could hang out with three celebrities for the night, who would you choose? I ended up with Dave Grohl, Chelsea Handler and Rainn Wilson. Wilson was an addition out of convenience, as we’ve already shared a moment [see picture].

So, who is on your dream team?

[Proprietor note: Craig Finn, Chuck Klosterman and Sarah Silverman. Finn would bowl a solid 132 average over three games, Klosterman would bowl a pair of 80s and a 180, while Silverman would get kicked out of the bowling alley in the seventh frame of game 2].
