Debunking pop-cultural myths, 4

According to co-stars Richard Anderson and Lindsay Wagner, Lee Majors spent his first two seasons as “The Six Million Dollar Man” convinced the term bionic was the “Kraut word for man witch.” Consequently, the superstitious Kentuckian took to wearing a string of garlic under his jeans and flight suit in an effort to ward off what he insisted was a sound stage full of “angry Bavarian demons.”

    Now I know what Farrah broke up with him, she never understood what she meant when she said, “I have a taste for Italian tonight”.

    Dang, that should have read:

    Now I know why Farrah broke up with him; he never understood what she meant when she said, “I have a taste for Italian tonight”.

    I understand that he also hid a sausage down his pants to keep the garlic company.

    To burst another myth, Bavarian demons can’t live in bottle, so it is safe to drink the lager on St. Paddy’s day, even the green stuff.

    Not “BAVARIAN” you twits… “BEAVERIAN”… BEAVERIAN DAEMONS !

    In old Teutonic lore “The Beaverian Daemons” were vicious, voracious, vaginalike daemons that attacked the sausages and garlic that Bavarian men commonly stored in their lederhosen. Arnold Swarzenegger is said to have battled a Bavarian Daemon before he married her…

    Get your lore straight you guys,, jeeez this is supposed to be ‘an intellectual’ humor blog.

    Oh, and by Beaverian Daemon is no longer considered a ‘PC’ term acceptable for use in mixed company. The proper term currently in use is ‘Liberal Feminist’.

    Just so you know… J/H

    Another little-known fact: Colt Seavers’ cousin was originally supposed to have the surname “Duinn.”

  11. We can rebuild him.  We can make him faster, stronger, better.

    That’s why Farrah left him: quite frequently faster isn’t better.

    Turing: class, as in, Making fun of a thirty year old celebrity divorce is all…
