Thats crazy Scavs. I was on it too, as a contestant also. The game was Bozo's Bezerk Balloon Stomp. I had on a bright orange John Elway jersey and absolutely swept through my opponents. It so happens that in the finale, I went up against a girl who was celebrating her birthday, dusted her (birthday crown and all). She started wimpering after I took it to her, so Bozo, out of compassion I guess, gave her a prize pack as well. Big a$$ crayola set.

HOw ironic that we both participated...

That is wild bro. We are part of the Bozo Hall of Fame, only fitting.

I just pulled out the tape, It was Nov 25th 1986. Were you on it in Boston or Chicago?

Neither. It came to Philly. I was accompanied by my mom, my best friend, two of my brothers, and one of my brothers' friends.
I never thought in a million years I'd bump into someone that went through that same experience as I did. That is some wild $hit.
I thought it would be cute to show my girlfriend last year...ummmm. no, wrong idea. She played it in front of her family and I was soon after the laughing stock of the month. I wore the bright orange jersey, blue sweatpants WTF? (not to mention they were floodies, didnt even reach my socks). My enormous lips, that didnt fit my thin face back then, were flapping wildly. My voice was screechy and I actually pulled out the Arcenio Hall fist pump. Soooo embarrassing. Best part about it, was when the whole crowd danced at the conclusion of the show. I can't even explain the moves I was doing. Hysterical would be an understatement.
BTWay, when they did the bucket ball toss, the little kids helper couldnt even get it past the 2nd bucket. Some tall lanky guy too.
I'll never forget it as long as I live.

Lol. Is there somewhere I could go with my cassette tape and transfer it to a disk so that I could post it on the net? I dont know if you could do that, and wouldnt know where to begin if it is even possible.

no idea, I am afraid to play it because VCR's just eat tape now, and I don't think you can buy a VCR anymore at the store

My VCR plays it perfectly, without a hitch. Im about to bring it to Eckerd or Rite Aid tomorrow on my lunch break. See what they can do for me, or at least point me in the right direction.

I don't suppose you ever heard of the Freddy Friehofer show....I was on that show in the early 60's or maybe it was the late 50's
