In honor of the end of his manslaughter trial, here’s Michael Jackson(s) at Super Bowl XXVII. It definitely has to go down as one of the best and most memorable halftime shows of all-time. What is it about the Jackson family that makes them so unforgettable at the Super Bowl? I actually have a friend who was involved with the PR of the show. He told me that Michael was supposed to pop out of the stage, wait about five seconds, and take his shades off. Of course, he poses for what seems like eternity while everyone in the back is freaking out over whether he’s actually going to do something. Michael Jackson, everybody!

Slobberknocker: The Superfly
Posted: November 11, 2011 by Keith Stone in Slobberknocker, Superfly, videos, wrestling, WWF
It may not seem like much now after seeing the likes of Jeff Hardy jumping off 20-foot high ladders, but when the Superfly Jimmy Snuka leapt off the cage at Madison Square Garden onto the Magnificent Muraco, wrestling had changed forever. There had never been a move like that performed before. In fact, a young man at the Garden that day by the name of Mick Foley was so inspired by Snuka that it motivated him to become a wrestler and eventually WWF Champion.
Only because Kim Kardashian is having a tough week. When I searched for Mandingo on Wikipedia, it gave me three options: this film, the novel the film was based on, and the porn star. Sadly, although Mandingo has been nominated for five AVN Awards, including Best Anal Sex Scene twice, he has yet to come away with a trophy. Don’t lose hope, buddy.

Former heavywieght boxing Champion Joe Frazier died yesterday at the age of 67. He was a great fighter, and will forever be known for fighting Muhammad Ali at the Garden in the Fight of the Century. Both men went in undefeated but only one man, Frazier, left the ring that way.
Slobberknocker: Austin 3:16

“You sit there and you thump your Bible and you say your prayers, and it didn’t get you anywhere. Talk about your psalms, talk about John 3:16. Austin 3:16 says I just whooped your ass.”
At the 1996 King of the Ring, Stone Cold Steve Austin celebrated beating Jake “The Snake” Roberts in the Finals of the tournament by opening a historic can of verbal whoop ass. The debut of Austin 3:16 was only the beginning of the meteoric rise of arguably one of the most popular wrestlers of all-time. Austin’s schtick was never for me, but he could still handle the mike as good as anyone. It’s easy to see why he became such a big star, especially in redneck country.
Trailer Park: Summer School
Posted: November 4, 2011 by Keith Stone in Summer School, Trailer Park, videos
Summer School is one of my favorite movies of all-time. Mark Harmon stars as Freddy Shoop, a slacker of a gym teacher who gets roped into teaching a remedial English summer school class because he’s up for tenure and nobody else wants to. Of course, each of his students has a quirk and eventually he comes to appreciate them. Along the way, the kids learn to believe in themselves but Mr. Shoop learns even more about life, and falls in love with a skinny Kirstie Alley. If you haven’t seen it, add it to the queue. Summer School still holds up.
This is a very cool game. I don’t know how they pulled it off but if you stare at the dot, you can make it move through the maze. Just don’t let it hit the walls. Be careful at the end of Level 3. It’s a killer.
Slobberknocker: Flair

Anything I write about this video would do it injustice. Nobody, nobody could ever duplicate the Nature Boy. OK, maybe if you just start yelling the first thing that comes into your head. I’m gonna try it sometime. I’ll have chicks screaming my name in no time. Wooooooooooooo!
Scary Trailer Park: Halloween
Posted: October 27, 2011 by Keith Stone in Halloween, Trailer Park, videos“Was that the Boogeyman?”
“As a matter of fact, it was.”
What else would it be this week? Often imitated, never duplicated, Halloween led the slasher crazy in the late 70’s and 80’s. As the silent antagonist, Michael Myers is still one of the most terrifying characters in movie history. This movie was just on TV and I had to stop and watch it. It’s just too good. The music is iconic, Jamie Lee Curtis is sexy and tough, and the Shatner mask pulls it all together (yes, Michael’s mask was actually a molding of William Shatner). Even the trailer is scary as hell. I miss the days when a freaky narrator would set the tone for you. We need more of this!
Throwback: Ferris Does Chicago
Posted: October 25, 2011 by Keith Stone in Ferris Bueller, Throwback, videos
When I was a kid, I always wanted to be Ferris Bueller. I still want to be Ferris Bueller. I mean, who wouldn’t want to make an entire city street break out dancing like he does? And Mia Sara? Probably the hottest girlfriend in the history of 80’s movies. She obviously couldn’t handle being away from Matthew Broderick’s charisma and vanished into obscurity after filming. It’s one of the great disappearances in human history along with the Holy Grail and LeBron in the fourth quarter if you ask me. One thing always bothered me though. Couldn’t they have dubbed over a voice for Ferris? I like to think that he had the singing chops to handle Wayne Newton and the Beatles.
