1. He's a comic master and a survivor. Go get 'em, David.

2. Considering how Richard Pryor and Annette Funicello have suffered from this disease, he looks great! Good for him!

3. He used to severely creep me out on L & S, but he looks like a normal, decent guy.....plus, he's a scout for the Seattle Mariners? Way cool! Baseball fans are the best, and it sounds like he's doing something he really loves. Good for you, David/Squiggy!

5. I usually only write some sarcastic comment but I must say, I reallllllllllllllly always liked this guy. He was the funniest thing on L & S (only funny thing too). Kicking the crap out of MS also. Good luck, Mr. Squigman.

6. Is that his daughter behind him to the left? I could swear she was one of the contestants on MTV's "Legally Blonde" show...........

11. Not only is he a terrific scout, he's also (or at least was a couple of years ago) a part owner. I had the privilege of meeting and talking to him at length one day when he was at the radio station where I work. The front desk was empty and he came to my office to see where he was supposed to go. He was a gracious, intelligent, lovely man.

The Lenny & Squiggy characters were ones they developed in college to amuse their friends. He is so NOT creepy! And he really does look great!

12. I meant no offense - the '70's were a LONG time ago! I just think he seems like a very sweet, very cool guy, and it would be a privilege to meet him. Such a talented person (especially for making The Squig such a complete geek), but also a very courageous person - kudos, dude, and much admiration for your battle with MS. You, my man, are a true hero!

13. Rubyslypperz: I just did a little research, and yeah, I think that's Natalie from "Legally Blonde" on MTV-- her last name just so happens to be Lander, too! Good catch!

14. Looking good!

15. Natalie Lander WAS a contestant on MTV's "Legally Blonde: the search for Elle Woods on Broadway."

Talented girl.
