Your Minutes of Zen

I'm glad you liked that. St.Louis always does a little something like that and thank goodness still in the day & age. I've never gone to one either. Standing around for something like that is OK as long as there's some kind of activities going on, Oh those Muppets were great & funny

Here's this cool promo for Star Trek: The Next Generation on KMOV - CBS Channel 4 in 1991

Holy crap, guess what I just found First, remember when you posted this great one for Christmas last year

That was good. The Scrooge Story has been done to death in cartoons, lol. I mean, if you're doing a Christmas episode you either do your take on Scrooge, It's a Wonderful Life, or Gift of the Magi.

Well, I just found this. I never watched the show but what I'm seeing here for Kate & Allie is very similar like that Sesame Street

[packerbacker180]

Yeah, that's like a go-to Christmas plot. I'm sure countless shows have used it. I just saw George Foreman passed away/ I never saw him box, nor did I watch his sitcom. I remember him mostly for the Foreman Grill. Crazy those things are still around.

[BrandonDaCollector]

Actually, I never knew that My goodness, it's so sad that another icon of the 80s & 90s is gone, I can't believe this That was a good one with "Big" George Foreman with Johnny Carson.

This headline here from Fox shows a good picture of the family man. He was a father, a grandfather & a great granddaddy



Here's this from EPSN. They show & talk about the evolution of "Big" George", listen to what they say. As you know, My Grandparents followed him since his days in the 70s and was absolutely stoked about his comeback in the 80s which I have expressed before. They got Me into Boxing and the one guy besides "The Duke" Tommy Morrison that was larger than life to Me was Foreman



I'm going to see what I can post more of Foreman. I got some stuff in mind for a couple of days

[packerbacker180]

He seemed like a genuinely good guy.

[BrandonDaCollector]

He sure was That was a good Fresh Prince there. I'm skipping "Big" George Foreman for now because a little while ago I found out some tragic news. My Mom told Me the news and showed Me the video on Fox 2 Brian McKenna, a big time St. Louis sportscaster was struck by a car and was killed Now follow Me here. What is even more shocking is where he got killed at. He got killed on Hampton which you know how much I talk about Hampton & Hampton Village He was at Bono's Pizza which I posted briefly about them last year for a Baseball special in My all-crucial Odds & Ends. My Mom loves their Pizza. Here's pics of their location, their on the left.



Here's the video. He lived in St. Louis Hills which isn't too far away from We live at. Now, look at the time mark @ 0:38, you'll see Hampton. I've been there hundreds of times since I was a youngster. Like I said before, anybody visiting St. Louis should stop by there and see the history. Watch the video and when you can, pause at the 38 second mark so you can see Hampton. This is so sad, another great personalty is gone

[packerbacker180]

Geez, that's sad.

[BrandonDaCollector]

Yes, it's incredibly sad especially when you know whole situation in your area Good Impactable Jokers there

Here's this incredible feat that you probably didn't know "Big" George Foreman

[packerbacker180]

I didn't know about that. When I saw the screen image for the video I thought maybe he fought 3 guys at once, lol. That would've been something. My son got into the UFC this year and we've watched a few PPVs and I randomly joked they should do tag team UFC fights and I guess there actually are in other combat leagues or whatever they're called. That's kind of crazy. There's even 3v3 and 5v5 matches.
