Strangely Badass IV: Mark Malkoff.


Here are the reasons Mark Malkoff is making this list of strangely badass people:

1. Mark is the audience coordinator for The Colbert Report.

2. Mark visited all 171 Manhattan Starbucks in one day:


2. Mark lived in Ikea for one week:


3. Mark started the first-ever Guns 'N Roses tribute band composed entirely of children. The band is known as Little GNR.

4. Lastly, Mark is living for one month (June 2009) on Air Tran jets to get over his fear of flying. On his peak days he will fly twelve flights. He will sleep overnight on the planes after the other passengers have disembarked.


Mark at one point in one of the videos I have seen also claims to have started the Naked Cowboy in Times Square. I can't verify this and it seems a dubious claim.

  3. I forgot to include the Mark on Air Tran link in the original post. I've updated it accordingly.

    It is pretty sweet that we are linked to by that website. Somehow I doubt the blog will become must-read for the world, but maybe we will pick up a few more weird, anonymous readers.
