Incidentally, if you want to see the man behind this, he (and his wife) can be seen on an episode of the quality TV program, WifeSwap, airing November 7th, 8PM EST, on ABC. Set your TIVOs!

Thanks for the write up!
We’re going to figure out some way to do a viewing of our Wife Swap episode at Shoparooni…maybe at the bar next door during the Plushform show? Details will be up on http://www.shoparooni.com as soon as we figure it out..
