Apparently FOREVER means FRIDAY NIGHT

Original image from WWE.com

Friday night at Madison Square Garden was Hulk Hogan Appreciation night at a WWE Live Event ™, as a bunch of people celebrated the life and career of one Hulk Hogan. As a token of appreciation and as a sign of how much Hulk Hogan meant to New York, a banner adorning his name was hung high in the rafters, among the banners of past New York champions. It was a momentous occasion for Hogan and his Hulkamaniacs; a telling sign that Hulkamania was truly and forever immortal and would live on until the end of time.

However, this past Saturday, during a NBA game that saw the New York Knicks trounce the Toronto Raptors in a rather tight game – or so I was told – some fans have noted that the prestigious banner and undeniable proof of Hulk Hogan’s immortality and “GOAT” status (groan) was nowhere to be found. One has to wonder if the banner would ever see the light of day beyond the occasional WWE telecast from New York. One has to wonder if the banner is still in one piece.

With no other details at hand, it is safe to assume that on that fateful Friday night, Hulk Hogan left his creative control card at home.

VIDEO – Vintage Arch Deluxe Commercial

(2019 Update: Swapped an old broken embed for a fresh one.)

From 1996, one of many commercials for McDonald’s failed Arch Deluxe burger, which was often advertised as the “burger with the grown-up taste.” Honestly, out of all the commercials they had for this things (including one where kids made funny, grossed-out faces for a product that wasn’t announced), this was one of my favorites and perhaps the most telling. Showing kids grossed out by this new product is perhaps not the best way to promote it.

And then they wondered why it failed… which is a shame because, even some eighteen years later, I can recall having one of these things and actually enjoyed it. After all, the taste is only grown up, not grown old.

As a bonus, here’s a breakdown of the burger that I had laying on the hard drive for some reason.

VLOG – Vince Russo Leaves His Own Website… WHAT?

PyroAndBallyhoo.com has come to terms on the release of PyroAndBallyhoo.com Superstar Vince Russo as of Saturday, February 28, 2015. We wish Vince the best in all his future endeavors.

Seriously, though… WHAT?

Anyway, good thing I unsubscribed to the BRAND before the rollover took place.

And I was looking forwards to the eventual “I’m A Vince Russo BRO” T-Shirt.

Maybe not…

Leonard Nimoy (March 26, 1931 – February 27, 2015)

The news of Leonard Nimoy’s passing is a shock. Best known for his role as Spock in the long-running Star Trek franchise, but Mr. Nimoy has been a director (including Star Trek III and IV, Three Men And A Baby) as well as having dabbled in some poetry and even music. But it was his passion as a photographer that identified with his latter years. Mr. Nimoy has left a profound impression on the world and his presence will be sorely missed.

LLAP, Mr. Nimoy.
