Did you know that Super Bowl XIX saw the late great 49ers coach and NFL visionary, employ a fiendish strategy to best legendary Don Shula and the Dolphins. That strategy was during halftime, Walsh pipped in false spoilers about ABC's McGruder & Loud which was set to premiere after the game. This unsettled the Fins into a listless 2nd Half effort, which San Francisco capitalized to complete the 38-16 drubbing. #SuperBoskifact #Boskifacts #superbowlxix #SanFrancisco49ers #MiamiDolphins #McgruderandLoud #tvofthe80s #spoileralert #BillWalsh #DonShula #StanfordStadium #MontanavsMarino #whoknew

On this date in 1962, award winning actor George Kennedy saved the Paramount lot when he stepped in to break up a vicious brawl. That brawl was between Burl Ives and Gabby Hayes, who where arguing over who could eat a giant tub of mustard. This was an arguement that had been waged for more than a decade. Now these two were at the point of demonstrating extreme malice and fury at each other and the property around them. Thankfully George stepped in and prevented condiment-fueled destruction. #Boskifacts #whoknew #condiments #mustard #HoorayforBoskiwood #georgekennedy #gabbyhayes #burlives #eatingwaytoomuchmustard #breakitup

Happy Bastille Day! The real reason that the citizens of Paris rose and stormed the Bastille was due to Louis XVI's decision to remove the Bastille's frozen yogurt machine. Liberté, égalité, rainbow sprinkle-té! #Boskifacts #bastille #bastilleday #france #louisxvi #frozenyogurt

According to recently declassified documents that during the heights of the Cold War, the U.S. stored 63% of the strategic reserve of Bridge Mix at Mount Rushmore, to prevent it was falling into Russian hands.

Did you know: David Lynch had originally casted Emo Phillips as Feyd and the Kool-aid Man as the lead Sand Worm is his Science Fiction Epic Dune. But their shenanigans where even too quirky for the eclectic Lynch. E had them both removed from the production. The final straw leading to their departure occurred out on Zzyzx Road. Due to national security concerns and continuing litigation all that is known about the incident is that a Ready Bake Oven was involved. #Boskifacts #HoorayforBoskiwood #emophillips Koolaidman #davidlynch #Dune #Sciencefiction #zzyzx #easybakeoven #litigation

Few people remember that before their mid 90's success, Limp Bizkit had a different lineup. The band had cooking pioneer Julia Childs and billionaire third party presidential candidate Ross Perot. The two sadly were kicked out of the band after a series of gas station explosions they may or may not have started during a tour in 1993. #Boskifacts #juliachilds #rossperot #raprockofthe90s #limpbizkit #gasstations #roadlife #bandturmoil #Whatwereyouthinking #whoknew

Few know that in 1815, when the Great Powers convened the Congress of Vienna, they constructed the political landscape of Europe to end and hopefully prevent further Napoleonianic War by settling territorial and political issues in an intriguing way. They did it by playing games of Trouble. It was pretty effective, even with constant cheating by Austrian Statesman Metternich. #Boskifacts #Whoknew #boardgames #congressofvienna #napoleonicwars # Vienna #troublegame #Metternich #tallyrand #AlexanderI #Castlereagh #dontcheatatboardgames

Did you know that only 11% of all original Star Wars action figure blasters where lost to vacuum cleaners and shag carpet during the late 70s and early 80s? The other 89% where all stolen by the creepy former burger pitchman, Mac Tonight. This sinister shiller stole these from millions of kids and then dumped giant mounds of them across parts of Tierra del Fuego. #Boskifacts #whoknew #thiscouldbeafact #starwarsactionfigures #missingblasters #mactonight #creepymascots #badadsofthe80s #shagcarpets #vacuums #kenner

On this date in 1998, the English city of Hill was almost destroyed. It was almost wiped off the map when British rockers when Stome Roses front man and solo artist Ian Brown squared off against The Verve's Richard Ashcroft. These two became engaged in a Martial Art fight in front of a downtown Hull Tesco Express. The fight was about who had the highest and sharpest cheekbones. It took two days and it was touch and go, but Hull was saved. #Boskifacts #whoknew #shoegaze #music #ianbrown #richardashcroft #stoneroses #theverve #Hull #tesco #tescoexpress #dangerouscheekbones

On this day in 1996, a delightful sunny early December day, Six Flags Magic Mountain was rocked. That day saw the park almost destroyed when the most nefarious, loathsome and angriest meats squared off. Rival roving bands of Pimento Loaf and Potted Meat unfortnately choose the same day to enjoy the thrilling roller coaster experience. Things were tense but calm for a few hours. That calm was destoyed when questionable meats began quarreling over the correct wine pairing for nachos. #Boskifacts #whoknew #questionablemeats #magicmountain #rollercoaster #meatfight #spilikinscorners

On this date in 1981, these three Hollywood personalities met in Burbank, CA. At that time, they engaged in the only sanctioned Celebrity Full Contact Bonkers Championship. A contest so brutal and vicious that the NSA still will not divulge the results. #Boskifacts #Bonkers #boardgames #HoorayforBoskiwood #donadams #sarahpurcell #hallinden #bloodonthegameboard #ohthehumanity

Did you know that during the summer of 1982 players of the arcade game Defender got an unpleasant surprise if hit the thruster, smart bomb, hyperspace, and direction knob in a particular pattern? When the wrong combo was hit the player would unleash the nearly indestructible giant, laser spewing Billy Idol head. Sadly, Williams Electronics had to reprogram all their video games after hundreds of players suffered sneer related injuries battling the platinum locked Leviathan that summer. #Boskifacts #BillyIdol #defendervideogame #williamselectronic #arcadegamesofthe80 #toomanydamnbuttons #sneer #snearrelatedinjuries #quarterswellspent #80smusic
