Mythbusters getting sloppy - Page 2

Hate to see it happen, because it's been a pretty interesting show.

On the Hollywood myths episode, they tested whether someone could get thrown through a plate glass window and get up and continue with the bar fight.

Since none of them wanted to perform the feat themselves, they pull out the mold and build a latex skinned ballistic gel model. Then they lay it on its back and slide it down a table and thru a 1/8" plate. No damage.

So instead of stopping there and determining that it is possible, they peel the latex skin off the gel model and use a 1/4" plate. This time, they get damage and declare the myth busted.

Ignoring that their model was naked and without skin and too stupid to raise its arms.

Sloppy.

Bob Dole once made the scene at one of our shows. We were thrilled when he sat in and did a couple Freddie King songs.

Man, Bob Dole sounded more like Freddie than even Freddie hisself. And when Bob Dole finished Bob Dole's rendition of "The Same Old Blues" there LITERALLY was NOT a dry eye in the house.

So naturally all the women wanted Bob Dole, and all the men wanted to be Bob Dole.

The last I saw of Bob Dole that night was when Bob Dole was headed out the door with two armloads of women.

Truly one of the most memorable nights of my life.
