I am about to question the one thing that I shouldn't question. This is the very thing that links people together no matter what their lot in life is. In fact, it is the one commodity that brings people together socially every Friday and Saturday night. Have you guessed it yet? That's right, I'm ...

Do you know who I'm talking about? He may be a friend of yours, but more than likely he's more like a guilty pleasure.  He's charismatic, hilarious, the life of the party and always fun to be around.
