My dad, brother, and I go out to eat once a week and pretty much just quote Seinfeld, King of the Hill, and The Andy Griffith Show to each other. But sometimes the conversation lags. That’s usually when I take it upon myself to tell Zac, the 20-year-old, stories about Bo Jackson as if he didn’t hear them the week before.
I saw Bo break a house over his knee… a friend who went to school with him told me Bo ate a live shark… that guy in Tienanmen Square? He got that from Bo.
And for whatever reason I almost always cap things off with:
“… I mean, the man had a freaking cartoon.”
… a freaking cartoon with an intro that showed him lifting up a tree and smashing some sort of turbo-deforestation tank to Kingdom come.
Captain Planet, eat your heart out.

Sweet! I’ve been looking for the clip where Bo made the catch at the warning track and ran up the wall..Thanks
I was so inspired I just bought the show on DVD for a dollar from Amazon. Bo knows how to find good deals too.
You didn’t mention his best, most awesome super power: “Know”ing things.

Sorry if the conversation lags sometimes… It might be because you always get there late and we talked about everything already.
