Dennehy, Day 17

Brian Dennehy has an affinity for rabbits.  In fact, his first was a rabbit named Chuckles.  He was white with brown feet.  He could whistle the Florida State theme song and could drink bourbon like water.  Dennehy lost him in a bet with Bill Clinton over who could Dennehy more women in one night.  Dennehy bet against himself and lost by a huge margin.  Dennehy has yet to bet against himself again.

Dennehy, Day 15

Little Known Facts:

Brian Dennehy's middle name is "Shark." Like his namesake, he eats
raw fish for breakfast (and the occasional surfer chick).

Once, after waking up naked and wrapped in seaweed on Dockweiler
Beach, Dennehy stumbled across a golden lamp half-buried in the sand.
Inside – a genie. Our hero wished to become the sexiest man alive.
The genie waved his arms, there was a puff of smoke... and nothing
happened. You guessed it - Brian Dennehy already WAS the sexiest man
alive. Bri Den used his final two wishes on a life-time supply of pot
roast and a jet ski.

ODD got his coffee table from Crate and Barrel, his bourbon from
Circus Liquor, and his barrel chest from his great-great-grandmother
Beulah Dennehy ("Ugliest woman in Louisville, but t*ts like you
wouldn't believe" – BD).

While attending Columbia University on a football scholarship, he
played quarterback, wide receiver, tight end, cornerback, safety, and
middle linebacker. All at the same time. The Lions not had more
successful season since.

Dennehy, Day 14

Does Brian Dennehy have an ethical obligation to time travel back and prevent the Titanic from sinking?

On one hand, the Original should save the Titanic.  He has the knowledge and time machine to prevent the tragic sinking.  On the other hand, he enjoys watching the Titanic sink while guzzling scotch and eating pot roast in his time machine.  Also, after turning down several roles in "Titanic", he feels that James Cameron should have a masterpiece and therefore refuses to the use his time machine to prevent the sinking.

Brian Dennehy is Brian Dennehy.  You are no Brian Dennehy.

Dennehy, Day 13

***ANNOUNCEMENT***

Earth Day moved to July 9

Members of the global science community have decided to move Earth Day from April 22 to July 9. Dr. Wolfgang Von Bushwicken summed up the change with these words, "Brian Dennehy was born on July 9. The universe has 8 planets now. We initially thought planets orbited the Sun in an elliptical fashion; after a weekend viewing "F/X 2", we determined the other planets orbit Earth in a circular motion. The planets rotate around Earth on a tilted axes directly correlating to the front angle of Brian Dennehy's brush cut. Additionally, we have confirmed that the sun is indeed a retirement community created by Dennehy at the dawn of man (see: time machine) that actually proves the ideas and constructs of "Cocoon". Upon these realizations, we henceforth declare July 9 as the new Earth Day."

There is talk of Earth being renamed after Brian Dennehy, but "the Original" (a Dennehy approved nickname) has yet to decide what to rename Earth.

Dennehy, Day 12

Gummi Bears.

In 1968, a hungover Brian Dennehy wanted a gummy treat that looked like his favorite barrel-chested animal, the bear. ODD mixed 3 parts bourbon, 2 parts sugar, 4 parts gelatin, and 1 part bear.  The result, gummy bears.

Dennehy then formed a new branch to his conglomerate (Dennehy Industries): The Gummi Division.  The division manufactured and distributed his Gummi Bears.  Dennehy sold the Gummi Division to Nestle in 1980 for eight figures.

This was not Dennehy's first foray into food creation.  In 1957, as a college freshman at Columbia, Dennehy created jello shots.  Said Dennehy, "I want liquor.  I want sweet.  I want to get drunk."  He initially wanted to use bourbon, but ended up using vodka.  "None of these uptight *****es like bourbon."

Dennehy is also a master chef, part-time masseuse, and has a brown belt in Kung Fu.
