Rosie On Rocco

Tim Rosaforte files a very enjoyable profile of Rocco Mediate's whirlwind run and finally, someone catches up on the incredible trevails he's gone through in the midst of a couple of other great runs that you likely forgot about.

I did wonder about this:His legs rested on a chair, exposing bare ankles and clean-shaven legs. (That's right—Mediate shaves his legs. "A lot of women are jealous," he says.) On the wall a flat-screen TV replayed the afternoon action, Rocco's name still on the first page of the leader board.

Two hours after his second round ended with a birdie, he was relaxing in black drawstring sweatpants, a black Callaway sweater and black Nike Frees.

Uh, what brand were those drawstring sweats Tim? Sloppy, sloppy! Please, we need to know.

This, borders on TMI...

I want to tell you all, that this post is proof that we've wayyyyy toned-down here over the years at Geoff Shackelford.com.

The old days would go something like this:

The boss, when working out of the "Western Office" in Santa Monica, this means you can't get any closer to the water--if you get my point.. You can barely hear him because he's got this incessant wave machine playing in the back ground.

Anyway, what would happen in the old days, a call would come in from the Western Office, which usually meant that some serious thinking was going on--after all the boss is relaxed. He's thinking.


My desk phone here in La habra would suddenly ring: "I need a Photoshop representation of something funny like a David Fay's Chop House menu for some fun with the USGA's failed Russian Tea Room experiment; or a mythical mug shot of Rees Jones, shortly after being caught trespassing on a another architect's very high end project."

There was a lot of fun stuff going on in those days.

Today, I just couldn't help myself to think that the boss was ready to relive old memories, grand old times of the great days pass, here on GSdotCom...... I waited and sat by the phone, hoping the call would come with the order, "Give me something funny on Rosaforte......

The call never came....

So, I guess my representation of Rosie O'Donnell with a shaved-head will have to wait. Its ashame too, because I think Tim would have loved it, being the decent, fun loving talented writer that he is.....

Rocco also said that drug testing was "the biggest joke in the world" but you're supposed to pretend you didn't hear that.

I must've been out in the sun too long today. I thought I read "Everyman Rocco" shaves his legs. Whew!
