The Mandela Effect

It was definitely when I was a kid.

And you are super duper old, so it must have been in the 80s or whatever.

1988. I was 12. Some kid in my class wrote a really terrible white guy rap about him for an English assignment.

My rap was about the Jamaican Bobsled Team.


Just kidding. I wrote an erotic story about Katarina Witt.

Rapping about Eddie the Eagle is about as late 80's as you can get.

And Katarina Witt was before my time, but I am very familiar with her hotness.

"How I Lutzed Katarina Witt All Night Long" by Little Jon Wolter*

* You were like Little Archie, insisting on that diminutive so as to distinguish your childhood from your impending adolescence.

Yeah. This checks out.

How strange that the US have heard of Eddie the Eagle. There may as well have been posters of Big Daddy, Andy Fordham, or any other boring 80s British sportsguys in North American bedrooms.

We love our strange underdogs. Especially if there is a fine line between fandom and ridicule!

I took VH, Jr. to see the Eddie The Eagle movie (I was 17 in 1988) and it was manipulative as hell, but gosh darn it, I teared up a bit.

SHOW ME THE MONKEY!

They made a big deal out of him as a human interest story at the time. We love stories about athletes that have no business competing at the elite level.

I didn't realise the story about his coach was fiction, but it was a great film anyway.

[Heston]

Shit, I didn't know Eddie made it in the States. No wonder you think we are all inbred goons.

Whenever I give my last name to strangers, they always say, "Oh, like the bears?" No, you dope.

See? Everyone thinks "stein" not "stain."

Not if you're me, who thinks of them as the Shitstain bears.

Yeah. They're terrible. All Jesus-y and shit.

This is a recent development because their son took over after Stan died.

Interesting.
