George Vandenberg
Bagshot, GbGeorge Vandenberg: He's funnier than Piff the Magic Dragon, he's more skilled than Daniel Madison, he's more intelligent than Jason England, he's more awesome than Chris Kenner, he's more creative than Calen Morelli, he's more strange than Chris Mayhew, he's more legendary than S.W.
