Carl Weathers


Carl Weathers was born in 1948 in New Orleans. He played football for Oakland and in Canada. He is an accomplished actor, playing himself as Tobias' acting coach in Arrested Development and, among other roles, was in a McDonald's commercial in 1976. "Let me tell you a little story about acting. I was doing this Showtime movie—Hot Ice with Anne Archer—never once touched my per diem. I’d go to Craft Service, get some raw veggies, bacon, Cup-A-Soup— baby, I got a stew going."

D. Carlson Jr.

D. Carlson Jr. is way up in my book right now. I'm not sure who D. is, but they bought my stuff on ebay, paid $10.50 for it in fact. That is pretty awesome.

The Carlton Club


The Carlton Club in London was founded in 1832 and today still serves as a hotbed of conservatism. According to the site, the Disraeli room (pictured to the right) "Whilst flexible enough to be an excellent venue for lunches, receptions and meetings, it is dinners to which this room lends itself so well and for which it provides the perfect setting." Sounds like my kind of Carl, whilst indeed.

Carl Harper


Carl Harper was "Mama's" husband on Mama's Family. According to Mama he spent a lot of time in the bathroom and drove a de Soto when they were dating. He is never shown on the show, but is still cool by association. Yeah, I love me some Mama's family.
