** "Justin" is 29-year-old Justin Hawking. He lives with his "awesome" 73-year-old dad -- who has R-rated advice for just about everything.
** According to the Hollywood Reporter, Mr. Hawking's Twitter feed became such a sensation (it was only launched 4 months ago) -- that it landed him a book deal with Harper Collins -- and a TV deal with CBS. The site features "often profane comments and pearls of wisdom made by his 73-year-old father." ** Some of the "tamer" samples: "You look just like Stephen Hawking...Relax, I meant like a non-paralyzed version of him. Feel better?... Fine. Forget I said it." "If mom calls, tell her I'm sh*****g...Son, marriage is about not having to lie about taking a s***." "Oh please, you practically invented lazy. People should have to call you and ask for the rights to lazy before they use it." "Just pay the parking ticket. Don't be so outraged. You're not a freedom fighter in the civil rights movement. You double parked." "Remember how you used to make fun of me for being bald?...No, I'm not gonna make a joke. I'll let your mirror do that." "I wanted to see Detroit win. I've been there. It's like God took a s*** on a parking lot. They deserve some good news." "You're being f****** dramatic. You own a TV and an air mattress. That's not exactly what I'd call "a lot to lose." "I'm sitting in one of those TGI Friday's places, and everyone looks like they want to shove a shotgun in their mouth."

My son turned me on to it a few months ago and I thought immediately that it was hilarious, telling my son, "You watch, this kid's gonna get a book deal out of this...". Just last week, there was an article in the L.A. Times or some other newspaper..I'm not sure which one...that the son had indeed gotten a book deal with a noteworthy publisher. The things that come out of his 73 year old father's mouth couldn't be concocted... This old guy is the real deal and a true riot. Thought it might put some smiles on fellow MoPo'ers faces. Please check it out if you want a good laugh.
