Your Minutes of Zen

Well that just makes me think of this...

[BrandonDaCollector]

I see why that reminded you of the Caveman Lawyer from SNL, that was a great one

Happy Birthday to Hulk Hogan I've wanted to post this for a while now, here's the infamous Hulk Hogan & Richard Belzer incident from 1985 woh Mr. T



Belzer's response a week later



His talk with Bob Costas a while later...



then many,many years later

[packerbacker180]

Well Happy Birthday to the Hulkster. Hopefully Hulkamania runs wild for many more years!

I've seen the original clip but never saw the ones of Belzer talking about it. I wonder how much money he got, lol.

Speaking of The Inbetweeners, this was the US version...

[BrandonDaCollector]

Yes, I hope so too. I have no idea how much moolah he got Gosh, Ryan Cutrona is taller than Hogan...due to all the surgeries that Hogan had, he really lost his height That was good seeing Hogan in that reality segment but that's the stuff that turned Me away from MTV...it was so far away from what the channel was meant to be and what made it what it became and so many other channels followed suit or vice versa He beat up Vince McMahon...okay...but Bill Goldberg Goldberg beat Hollywood Hogan for the world title...Hogan never did beat Goldberg...there's only two others than I can think of right now at the moment that he never defeated and that Brock Lesnar & Yokozuna...still that's a tremendous win/loss streak

Okay, now back to My local stuff. Here's Becky Rothman , the Queen of Carpet & Wanda, the Princess of Tile. I posted about Becky a while back but kinda brief. This commercial was before the the days they flew over the Gateway Arch in their commercials which is what their known for in My region. This commercial is from 1988

[packerbacker180]

Ah, old local commercials are sometimes funny with how wooden the people are in their acting, lol. I never really watched MTV Cribs either, but if you see Hogan's backyard you can see the Gulf of Mexico and that's where we were back in 2004 when the boat tour took us past his home.

[BrandonDaCollector]

Oh Dennis the Menace cartoon, that brought back the memories there

Yes, it is, there's many commercials from My local area I found humorous and some that was just plan good. Here's this one of the Tic-Tok Shop. I used to see these commercials of them all the time. They were in South County not too far away from where Toy Chest & TRU was. This one is from 1991

[packerbacker180]

I always wanted a bog grandfather clock, but never had one Heck, we only have one actual clock in the house since everyone has electronic devices.

[BrandonDaCollector]

Yeah, another thing about the digital age...you can't tell what time it is if your phone isn't charged We still have clocks around the house that isn't digital. I'm still taking care of My Grandpa's big Regulator Clock. He bought it long before I was even a thought...it was such a prized item for/to him...it still works and gongs like back in the day, one of the last things that shows how good he was

That was some Everybody Loves Raymond there

Here's a 1983 Forsythe Computers commercial, they were in Skokie, Illinois

[packerbacker180]

[BrandonDaCollector]

That was some Boy Meets World

Okay, here's three videos of Fox 30 KDNL that was on before they merged with Fox 2. You can see that this was such a fun channel. First here's this from 1991...



also from 1991...listen to what he says is on...you might be surprised



This was the end of newscast on KDNL Fox 30 during 1998
