" i know its cold outside. But its about to all kinds of warm up in my jazz"

Whenever I get sad or depressed I think of Ron Swanson, I laugh, I get inspired and I soldier on. Thank you Nick Offerman for existing in this grim timeline

Ron Swanson is basically the coolest dude in existence - ONLY to be surpassed by Duke Silver on the coolness scale.

I love How Ron gives epic reactions to every time someone finds out.

Its been several years so I don’t remember, but I love to think Andy knows Duke Silver from the local music scene when he introduces him but remains blissfully unaware that he is Ron Swanson. (because of the hat)
