I always wanted an atlasphere

[jaina]

OMG Y'ALL. ESPN Classic is running old American Gladiators episodes!!! Today I saw the last bit of a very early episode (wikipedia informs me it's the second half of season 1) and OMG YAY! Even though the two events I caught were boring (Human Cannonball and Breakthrough & Conquer) and the Eliminator was awfully lame back then. I liked Powerball and Assault. And the one where they were on bungee cords. And Atlasphere, of course.

I'm sad that we don't get ESPN Classic at home. I want to see Wesley Berry win his million championships again! Two Scoops! (Why yes, I am a ridiculous geek.)

My first non-babysitting job was for Henneberry's pancakes, and one of their many children was out in California appearing on the American Gladiator show. I cannot say for certain whether I ever met that one. Alas, the sands of time have taken the nickname, although if you threw a few at me I might guess. Or if I were less lazy, I could search Google.

I just remember the event with the giant Q-tips. They had a different name of course, but my family just referred to it as the Giant Q-tip Event.
