Back when I knew Mike Rowe
11/11/19 | Scarpetta

Twenty five years ago I worked for a digital media company in Philadelphia whose work included a weekly TV program called "Body Sense" underwritten by Prevention Magazine. It was a hokey basic cable program with a host we poached from QVC. His name was Mike Rowe, a nobody with up and coming attitude.

Mike was often found wondering the corridors of our offices and always attended the raucous parties we threw regularly. I guess I just want to say that Mike was as down-to-earth a guy as you could imagine and nothing betrays his Eagle Scout aesthetic. I love you Mike Rowe, and all you stand for.

Saw his interview today on Fox or Foz Biz (?), he always seems like a great guy, so intelligent and down to earth. Wish he were in politics but why put yourself through that these days.

Mike is a charismatic beautiful being. Truly one of a kind in this universe.

Praise God!

Your thread was sounding kind of like a eulogy, so you had me worried.

They have offices in West Chester PA.
Not sure what they do though.
We play volleyball on their lawn in the Summer...

Mike was recently on “Louder with Crowder” with Steven Crowder. I highly recommend watching it and even becoming a member of the Mug Club to support conservatives in media.

Washington DC politics is the world’s Dirtiest Job. Will Mike take up the mantle?

Funny thing- just a couple of days ago a friend asked me what kind of man I like- and I told her Mike Rowe.

If we could only clone him.

Thanks for posting your thoughts about him.

Imagine the coolest office setting. That’s what pre-DotCom money bought in the nineties. Truly sumptuous digs and lavish perks.

I believe he’s a confirmed bachelor with lots of female hangers on. Don’t blame the man one bit.

In my case booze and dicks. (I’m a girl.) Life was good in the nineties. Very, very good.

I've always been a staunch believe in a level playing field. ;-)

I know that some men fantasize about being a girl and letting loose on the male population. Well, as a not unattractive female with a certain sexual appeal when I was younger, I did not hold back from experiencing what life had to offer me, so to speak. Now I’m married with teenagers and can say that I don’t regret a single moment of my past behavior.

I imagine he was wondering how he got there and how he will escape. What else could he be wondering about? 8>)
