This is pic about 5 years ago, my hair was just starting to turn gray you cant really see it here. As you can tell by the messy bathroom it was not long after my divorce.

Looks to me like he is doing it with smoke and mirrors.

I think I was taking it too go on a dating sight, that was when I cared about what I looked like. :-)

Marko, I have been meaning to tell you my Dad was born in Stevenston, I know nothing about it - My Grandparents came over when he was only 3 years old.

Ah Stevenston. Through the west coast. I have been to Stevenston only once. 1984, scottish cup tie, I was playing for a team called gracemount rovers. We were humped 6-2. Great memories. Was pissing down and the field was a mud bath. Farcical really but a good day out.

Mike DeStefano, 'Last Comic Standing' Contestant, Dies


by Jean Bentley, posted Mar 7th 2011 1:45PM



Comedian Mike DeStefano, who finished fourth on the most recent season of 'Last Comic Standing,' died yesterday after suffering a heart attack, Punchline Magazine reports.

The Bronx native was an HIV-positive recovering heroin addict who frequently tackled those tough topics in his act.

A friend of DeStefano's family confirmed the news to Punchline, and TV Guide reports that DeStefano's producer addressed the death on Twitter, writing, "We'll be talking about it later. Sorry if we've ignored the e-mails and text messages. Mike became a brother to us. We love him."

DeStefano began his standup career at 31 while working as a drug counselor in Florida, according to the bio on his website. "He offered to entertain the audience at a convention, and following their positive response, he decided to start his career in standup."

If I recall correctly, they showed footage on Celebrity Rehab of him doing drugs with his Dad. Think they were doing heroin together at the time.

That is really sad, someone skipped school the day the teachers were talking about father/son bonding time.

well, then I guess his being taken by suprise was real.......

[MiamiTreo3]

I know it was meant as a joke but..... my brother overdosed or was rushed to the hospital for seizures due to drugs around 7 times before he finally passed away. It was still a shock. You never want to believe someone you love is in that much danger.

[DanO]

Sorry for your loss Treo.

GO LIONS "11" !
