News Flip Spiceland steps down, or 'My world is crumbling'
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Thu, Feb 21, 2008 at 5:18 PM
You should know that I'm in a really dark place right now. Decatur Metro passes on word that Flip Spiceland, my man crush, is stepping down after seven years at 11 Alive News, NBC's Atlanta affiliate station. My admiration and sheer wonder for this man has been well-documented, so I just would like to be brief and let Flip know ... Spice ... buddy ... thank you.
In honor of the man, here's a hilarious piece in the Morning News, a Brooklyn-based online magazine, about weathermen with awesome names. Flip is ranked No. 1.

Maybe with fewer professional obligations next year he'll have time to finally do that 4-page spread in the Lust List issue for you. Fingers crossed!

Perhaps they could dig up the corpse of Guy Sharpe and surgically graft on a bushy handlebar mustache, thermosealed rubber/leather jockey short, with a grapefruit-sized red ball in his mouth..... "Taah-sdays schwed-thur sis mush-schlee suh-schny wi... [gasp!].... mah-derdit-schlee scmild bree-shis....." That is the only thing that would pry my eyes away from the heavenly bosom of Dagmar Midcap and her 'Charlotte' from 'Sex in the City' good looks.
Why do you have to go and fuck with the memory of Guy Sharpe's corpse, Mr. Peepers? Why?!
I have a memory of Guy Sharpe's corpse, too, atlpaddy. Or at least it looked like a corpse. I saw him one summer in a bathing suit in the lake in Callaway Gardens. He looked like, well, like you'd expect Guy Sharpe to look like without a shirt on.
So Ken, are you saying he was every bit as sexy as i have imagined since childhood? I'm guessing it would make me believe again in a higher power. I like to imagine Guy Sharpe and Russ Minshew wearing small kimonos and arm wrestling. Sorry, I may have had too much milk last night.
