Rowdy Roddy Piper

[bikercelt1]

There's a comercial playing on TV now in the Portland Oregon market featuring Rowdy Roddy Piper. It's in a series of commercials for a carpet company that features their spokesperson "Carpet Carl" suffering various mishaps. In this particular commercial Carl introduces Rowdy Roddy who promptly picks him up and pitches him over a railing. Roddy is wearing his trademark kilt and leather jacket, but because he's standing behind the railing most people probably won't notice. Still funny to watch though.

I couldn't stop laughing when I read this post. What timing. I've haven't seen the commercial, in fact I had no idea who Rowdy Roddy Piper was until the day before yesterday. My wife was reading to me out of one of her old diaries -- I think she was about 10 years old, hilarious stuff -- and she had the biggest crush on that man. Even then she liked men in kilts.

Rowdy Roddy Piper was the man!

I don't recall ever seeing him wearing a sporran though

Any pics to debunk that?

He didn't as an action figure ...
And he didn't on the cover of Wrestling Magazine
but he did on his trading card

[chasem]

ahh, thanks Hauk! That's the first time I've ever seen it!

He was on WWE Raw (the first show on USA in a long time) the other night with no sporran on as well. First thing I noticed when he came out! My wife rolled her eyes at me when I mentioned it.

Nope... no sporran. But you've GOT to love those wonderful kilts that he's wearing these days!!!
