[WhyNotUs?]

I know this is random.....

But does anyone think the Boston Celtics logo is based off of Walter Matthau?

Other than the nose...it looks like Nathan Lane.


Maybe a happy Al Swearengen.

You do have a point, and that is pretty damn close.

You are right and wrong at the same time on this one...Walter Matthau is depicted in the Boston Celtics logo...good find btw!!!...but, actually, Walter Matthau was created based on the Celtics logo and not the other way around as commonly believed. The Boston Celtics logo is one of the increasing fewer and fewer things that have withstood the trials and tribulations of time longer than Walter Matthau.

Helena Provisvnikov wanted her children to look more "American" when she immigrated from Russia in 1915. She landed in Boston, Mass where the Celtics logo was in every shop window, on every power pole, and in the windows of homes and automobiles. Some people still maintain that horses were tatooed with the logo on their right buttock so that pedestrians could see them from the sidewalks of the city. Anyway, being new, she thought that this is how most "Americans" must look and sought out a man, a husband, that would give her children this appearance. No one is really sure how they met, but she settled upon Elijah Matthow, a jewish ukrainian from Kiev who had immigrated to the US as well. She nabbed her man...he found work in NYC as a goldsmith, and the young couple married and moved. In 1920, she gave birth the young Walter.

She probably should have been a geneticist...she came pretty close to her goal with Walter...


And that, as they say, is the "rest of the story..."


(That is a lot of bs mingled in with a little truth about the guy...but he does look like the logo...)
