This week, I’m surviving Spring Break with my husband and kids in the “Wilds” of Williamsburg, Virginia. So I’m getting to know our forefathers, and two survivalists head to a forsaken region of Amazonia. And this week’s male participants promises to be one of N&A‘s most colorful characters Ever!! (Spoiler: In 2009, Jake appeared on the Discovery channel show Out of the Wild: The Alaska Experiment, and was apparently the first openly gay person shown on a Discovery network program).

Rob Lacombe
Thirty-six-year old Rob Lacombe of Rockland, CA had seen the first season of Discovery Channel's survival reality series Out of the Wild: The Alaska Experiment featuring out participant Jake Nodar. So Lacombe knew he had to be at least a little crazy to sign up for the series' second outing, which dropped nine participants in the wilds of Venezuela, leaving them to traverse seventy miles back to civilization. That journey would take those who made it the entire way more than a month as they descended from the heights of 9,200-foot Mt. Roraima, through jungle, over savannas, and across rivers to their final destination.
But it was only after nearly dying several times during the journey that Lacombe admitted just how crazy he was to risk his life this way. Crazy or not, Lacombe says he had a very good reason to put his life at risk...

It's a good day for funny people, especially if your name is Tina Fey or Seth MacFarlane.
Fey's series, 30 Rock, was handed 22 Emmy nominations this morning, which stands as a record for a comedy series. She and Alec Baldwin were also nominated for acting awards. Plus, for the first time some of the other actors on NBC's laffer were recognized. Jane Krakowski, Jack McBrayer and Tracy Morgan all picked up supporting nominations.
MacFarlane's Family Guy was also nominated for best comedy series, the first time an animated show has cracked that category since The Flintstones in 1961. Two years ago MacFarlane decided to pull his show from contention in the animated series category to have it considered for best comedy.
Mad Men, the drama about the advertising world in the sixties, picked up 16 nominations in the drama categories, including a best actor nod for Jon Hamm. Hamm is also nominated as...
