Jesus!!! Thanks for the post. That's priceless.

Speaking of Ron. Imagine what Ron Jeremy could of achieve if he was able to use more than one finger at a time.

I don't know how he could type with those rings on. I have to take my wedding ring off when I'm doing heavy typing. At best it distracts me. At worse, it seems to help flare up tendinitis.

Man, he is a hero!


I know, I looked up his bio.
I didn't mean to upset.
Peace...

I wear my class ring all the time, and it doesn't bother me at all.

Without a doubt, it's been said.. this guy has style.  I've recently been working on my typing skills and growing a mustache and I'm ready to take it to the next level.  I think I'm going to show my students (I'm a math teacher) and play along with the song...

Here's the link to download the song... see if you can type w/ one hand, lean back and bob your head to the beat.

JK, I'm not really gonna show this or perform like a goof in class, but the song is fun to have.

What does he type on now? I assume he uses a computer these days.

Model M?

Nice sideburns.

Sorry, that is one big nerd.  Nerds are everywhere.

Ron played baseball,  helped low income kids, taught for years AND typed fast!  Plus he doesn't talk funny.


Ron Mingo is my hero.  That other dude is just a dork.

In case you guys weren't aware, Synthesizer Patel is a fictional character from the British TV comedy Look Around You which first aired in 2002.

They also tackle serious issues. Like what would a keyboard and PC for women be like?

To be fair, the first season of Look Around You was better. Back then, it was pretending to be one of those dated science films that they used to show in schools
