She was on an episode of Enterprise too unless I'm misremembering 

I guess I should have read the article because it says that in there. Just assumed because the few articles I've seen didn't mention it.

Now let's all take comfort in the fact that I was right and not dwell on the fact that I'm an idiot who comments on articles without reading them.

I didn't know him personally. :p

I seem to recall him being abusive to his wives, and him saying things about Hitler, he really should not have.

"Another controversy erupted in 1998 when the English-language Moscow Times attributed some disturbing views on race to Hull. The Russian newspaper said Hull felt the Black population in the United States was growing too quickly. He was quoted as saying “Hitler had some good ideas. He just went a little bit too far.”

Lanny Poffo, brother of the late Randy "Macho Man" Savage, best known for his run as The Genius in WWE (then WWF), age 68.

Knew him as Leaping Lanny Poffo when he was in the non-WWF territories, I've only seen his Genius stuff in retrospect. RIP.

I remember he used to come to the ring with a frisbee. He would read a poem off the frisbee's underside then fling it into the audience. It was such a lame gimmick. :lol:

richard lester three musketeers (1973) and four musketeers (1974) remain our favorite adaptation o' the dumas musketeers books. raquel welch didn't have a major role in the films, but she were memorable.

am knowing anything cosby is verboten these days, but am not too proud to admit we enjoyed mother, juggs and speed (1976). not saying the film is making our best ever list, but it were fun.

kinda gives you perspective on the times, which for Gromnir don't feel all that long past.

HA! Good Fun!
