“Jeffrey Allen “Skunk” Baxter (born December 13, 1948) is an American guitarist, known for his stints in the rock bands Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers during the 1970s and Spirit in the 1980s. More recently, he has been working as a defense consultant and chairs a Congressional Advisory Board on missile defense.”

Weirdest one - like how did he get from Shredding with the Doobies to being an expert on evil weapons?

Yes! He also runs a small publishing company that specialises in Victorian stereoscopic images.

Excellent contribution.

Joseph Barton

Typical! If you dare to criticise rationalism you’re a fucking xenophobe!

Viggo Mortensen

“Aside from acting, his other artistic pursuits include fine arts, photography, poetry, and music. In 2002, he founded the Perceval Press to publish the works of little-known artists and authors.”

Anyone know if any of his other shit is any good?

I mean @sadpunk could say his pursuits are “fine arts, photography, poetry, and music” but we’d all laugh our cocks/tits off at his actual output, right?

Rolf Harris is far away from being the first person I’d think of when I think ‘Renaissance Man’

Rolf’s also a dog and cat lover

I’ve heard @sadpunk reciting old threads poetically at DiS meets. I’m assuming that his talents know no bounds.
