Who doesn't love St. Patrick's Day? If you're lucky enough to spend Spring Break at Tufts, you'll be in one of the best places for St. Paddy's - Boston. It might have made sense to pick a Bostonian lookalike, but that's not how we work - we picked a celeb who comes all the way from Indiana. Only after our Fighting Irishman photoshoot did we realize that this week's model, sophomore Steve Dyer actually looks like a legit Boston Irishman - former NKOTB darling Joey McIntyre. Guess that's the luck of the Irish.
Tufts Daily: Why are the Irish so angry (and prone to fighting)?
Steve Dyer: (thinking) Goddammit. Bloody hell... Have you ever heard of the "Irish curse"?
TD: What does "Notre Dame" mean to you?
SD: I don't believe in France.
TD: Who would win in a fight: Jumbo or the Fighting Irish guy?
SD: Well, Jumbo weighs about 1800 pounds more...
TD: Does the Fighting Irishman get his power from his hat or his beard?
SD: Can I say the coat-tails? They're kind of Dilbert's-tie-esque - they defy gravity. Obviously that's the source of the power.
TD: In honor of Joey McIntyre, what is the "Right Stuff"?
SD: Guinness and Bailey's... I think that's what it is.

CORRECTION: MAR. 17, 2006In yesterday's Arts box, "Almost Famous: Celebrity lookalikes at Tufts" (Mar. 16, 2006), the photograph of sophomore Steve Dyer was incorrectly attributed. It was taken by Josh Wilmoth, not Ford Adams.
