April 05, 2023: Ron Swanson found a friend!

Thursday, April 6, 2023 · by kathy howe

If you had Parks and Rec standout character, Ron Swanson, you are a winner!

Ted Lasso was a good guess. Ned Flanders was also a good guess —  but in both cases, you forgot 3 things: 

1) Sam’s a teenager so by definition is less cheery and more deadpan

2) Sam’s life involves many more raise single eyebrows and fewer outright smiles.

3) Just like Ron Swanson, Sam has always loved breakfast.

 All 3 characters and Sam have a heart of gold though so you all are a winner on that characteristic!

Ok, so who is Ron’s friend?  

The 2 characters together would be Sam’s aspirational self.. Also, this person is a bald bro so bonus points for that!

Indeed, my sister’s dog was named Ron Swanson. Not Ron. Not Swanson. But Ron Swanson.

Personally, selfishly, I wish it was Luke Hobbs from the Fast N Furious series, but I doubt Sam would pick that.

Professor X also not really Sam's model.

So, in daring fashion that might raise a few eyebrows from the parental units, I am going with Walter White.

Ok, if it were me, it would be a no-brainer: Captain Jean-Luc Picard. But that's too old school. Dr Evil is fun but too stupid. Same with Homer Simpson. What about Morpheus from The Matrix? Or Professor Charles Xavier from the X-Men? Dr. Manhattan? Drax the Destroyer? I'm probably hopelessly lost here.

Sam has watched all the Breaking Bad episodes so WW was a great guess! But take a closer look at what the Funko Pop is holding in his left hand. It’s not meth related 😂
