See You at Your Birthday Pahty Richter!

The DR would like to take a moment to wish a happy birthday to a man who really needs no introduction. It was 58 years today, in an igloo in a remote province of Canadia (OK so it was Toronto), that the world witnessed the birth of one Fred "Michael" Ironside".

Aside from Samuel Dalembert and the genius who invented Yvengling, Fred Michael is probably the guy from whom this site draws the most inspiration. It would be a waste of time to describe all the things we love about Michael Ironside (we could write 5,000 words on his name alone), suffice to say that anyone who can pull off the Top Gun/Total Recall/Free Willy trifecta is a man for whom written tributes hold no meaning. So here's our visual tribute to one of the great scowls to ever grace the silver screen:

    There are 6 in production credits on the man's imdb page. 5 of them list his characters names. 4 are captains and one is a colonel. GNOS!!!

    Ironside looks like a cross between Jack Nicholson and Terry Lefco.
