A true back-up story as mentioned years ago on this here GetBig Board.
Once upon a time there was a local weekly physical fitness TV show in SF Bay Area for kids in which a bodybuilding team consisting of a father and his son decided to lift (squat) with a young calf on the son's back each week to see just how much weight the son could lift as the calf gradually grew into a cow (or was it a bull??).
This TV show "rode on the shirt-tails" of the Bay Area's very popular Jack Lalanne physical fitness show which was very popular among the 24 to 36 male and female age category.
So finally a fitness TV show for kids!! A live broadcast show for kids with a father, his young son, and a young but growing calf!
The show was live and grew in popularity mainly because of the weekly calf lifting routine but it suddenly disappeared from the channels when ......
The kid was lifting this young calf on his shoulders with a victorious smile on his face (the kid's face) when the calf let go with an explosive shit which if I recall correctly .... spread throughout the studio and most of those within it.
The TV camera shook and the studio technicians (not the son nor his dad) filled with laughter and the screens at home reverted to that well-remembered but long-forgotten TV screen test pattern.
And that cow and that kid and that kid's dad were never ever seen on TV again.
But Lalanne went on and made millions with his wife and his dog whom he never lifted and never "shat" while on camera.
I mean the 'dog' never 'shat'.
And neither did his wife.
True story as I recall it!!
And as per "bears"..... Keith told that story many times!
But he just hugged one. A full sized one!
NO! I mean that the bear hugged Keith until the bear's owner/trainer had to hit him with a baseball bat.
Not Keith ... the bear!
Confused???! Go back a look for that story.
