His car once got jacked while he was filming his show and it made the local news. The next day it was parked back where it was taken from with an apology note :wow:

Reminds me of the story of Barry Switzer and how he could go into any ghetto in america and even the gangbangers and dope boys would make sure no one would fukk with his car....:wow:

I LIVE IN A CARDBOARD BOX!
They were going to cut PBS's funding in the late 60s'-early 70s' so PBS got Mr. Rogers to testify in front of the Senate Sub-Committee. I find it funny how rude the chairman is to Rogers at first, but by the end he is all like :mjcry:



It's also been said that he was a fan of Eddie Murphy's Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood skit on SNL.

The Bushes
A very loyal dude who was groomed to serve his king. Not a battler himself but a very smart and cunning strategist.

Any rumors are rumors, but that Alexander fellow sure was caught up in a lot of them.

:dame:

:ohwow:
At the Battle of Issus (333 BC), Darius' army was routed and the Persian king fled the field, leaving his extended family, including his mother, his wife Stateira I, his children, and many others to the mercy of Alexander. Alexander captured them but treated them well. When Alexander the Great and Hephaestionwent together to visit the captured Persian royal family, Sisygambis knelt to Hephaestion to plead for their lives, mistaking him for Alexander, because he was the taller, and both young men were wearing similar clothes. When she realized her mistake, she was acutely embarrassed, but Alexander reassured her with the words, "You were not mistaken, Mother; this man too is Alexander."[3]
