Oh no, cousin Hammer

Did one of you slip something into my cereal this morning? Because the world I was living in when I woke up did not have room for Greg Valentine and George "The Animal" Steele on a buddy sitcom:

I'm working on a TV pilot with George "The Animal" Steele. The premise is that we are co-owners of a fish camp. The comedy is based around how goofy George acts. We think it has a good shot of being picked up.

On behalf of the entire world, let me say: the hell?!?

Perfect Strangers
They're on a collision course... with wackiness!

Though I can rattle off two dozen shows already on the air that are dumber than this, without even pausing for breath, so it's all relative.

As long as we're traipsing through the Department of Things I Didn't Expect To Hear Today, ex-Husker Du drummer Grant Hart answered questions from fans on MySpace. The questions were typical, the answers were anything but (as is Grant's custom). Toward the end he throws out this gem:

One time we played at the Upper Deck and one of Bob's heroes from wrestling came to see the show. We gave him a t-shirt and he wore it on national tv the week after. He was Jesse "The Body" Ventura.

If you were me, you'd probably just go hide under the covers at this point, right? Good idea.
