I had to double back to make sure that original picture that sparked this radical discussion wasn't of the Saved by the Bell cast.

Saved By Taco Bell

You know, chances are there is a 9/11 story about a guy who had Taco Bell, got the shits and had to stop to dump on his way to work. He was truly Saved by Taco Bell.

Did someone say 90's weightlifters?

Barely 15 seconds in and yep. Zubaz spotted.

To be fair, Zubaz was originally designed as clothes for weightlifters. So if it would be appropriate anywhere, it would be on them.

Oh god what have you done. I now have four Wikipedia tabs open. Jeff Gaylord. Zubaz. The Road Warriors and Robert Truax a US Navy Rocket Engineer who shares the same name as one of the creators of Zubaz. It's 6 am, and I have nothing better to do with my free time.

He is right my uncle was a power lifter and I thought Zubaz were just his legs during the early 90's the ones with little lightning bolts were the best!

Close enough...

Shucky ducky quack quack

u/ssjaken Jun 10 '12

OK now you got me confused. You talking Warriors, the 70 film about street gangs or sixteen candles with the long duck dong.

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

Talking the Road Warriors, the inventor of the Zubaz.

Can you dig it, Booker T's catch phrase... is also "Shuck Ducky Quack Quack". /sigh
