Narnia in neon
Sid and Marty Krofft introduced a generation of children to freaky Day-Glo fantasy worlds with singing monsters and talking inanimate objects. Whoa, flashback!

  • Best Sleestak BBall Player

    I read several months ago that Bill Laimbeer, HOF center for the Detroit Pistons, played a Sleestak for a year (or a season) back when he was just out of college & needed a job (or he might have still been in college).

    Another Laimbeer memory: He was invited to the 1980 Olympic basketball tryouts that were held at the University of Kentucky. All the initial workouts/drills were held in the old Memorial Coliseum. I was able to get in & I saw most of them. Anyway, Laimbeer was just out of Notre Dame & was awful. He was overweight & was quickly cut.

    I still marvel at how much better he made himself in the intervening years (of course, as a Celtic fan I still hated his guts).
