McConaughey’s jog turns into starring role at picnic
By RICHARD L. ELDREDGE

This just in: “We Are Marshall” actor Matthew McConaughey is just as nice as we’ve all feared.

Last week, a class of disabled children from Laurel Ridge Elementary School in Decatur (GA) were enjoying a picnic at Stone Mountain Park when McConaughey jogged past. When he saw the kids, he stopped by to chat with the students and their teachers.

According to Laurel Ridge Elementary principal Mark Gordon, McConaughey told them he has a relative with cerebral palsy and was able to “talk” with the kids who rely on communication devices.

We’re told that before resuming his run, the actor even helped to load the school’s coolers back on board the bus.

Noted Gordon in an e-mail: “The teachers really enjoyed it!”

because he's gross enough to like the funk.

Really, if he showers regularly it shouldn't be an issue. My dh won't wear deoderant, but washes as necessary - I kinda' like the man smell.

I do like a man to smell like a man as well. Soap, shampoo - manly soap and manly shampoo. As long as he's clean, I'm ok with it. Oh, and I like the fact that Mr. McConaughey is a decent human being and does things like this without looking for any type of reward. Plus, I'd love to lick those damned dimples!

He just gets better & better. Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!

*keels over from the funk*

The southern charm, the looks, the body and now he stops to talk to handicapped kids....this man is indeed the whole package...
I would love to just spend the day with him. He seems so down to earth and kind.

I know someone who is an extra in this movie.

Is he still in town, I wonder
Maybe I will run into Matthew.

I know a few people - healthnut types for lack of a nicer term - who don't wear deodorant because it supposedly has chemicals in it that are bad for you.
