Doesn’t this guy look like a smug old bastard. He’s like, “I have swam pulling 70+ boats across a large harbor, I’m one hardcore son of a bitch”
I think Jack LaLanne is advocating heavy drinking when he says, “get juiced”. Heavy drinking of juice from the Power Juicer. Its fun how the Power Juicer website stresses that “Rush Deliver Is Available”. For those who just cannot wait to start juicing. Just start juicing today!
“Are you fat, are you overweight?” “Well then this product is for you. It can magically transform you into the ideal person you wish to be, and listen to how quiet it is” “No other juicer is as quiet and extracts so much juice” “Wow Jack, thats a lot of juice”
This has to be one of my favorite informercials of all time. I love this Jack Lalanne character. This guy is apparently an old-tyme hardass. You have to check out the Jack LaLanne wikipedia page to see what this guy has done and the age he performed the feat. Here are a few of my favorites, all of them accomplished while in his 60’s!
# 1974 (age 60): For the second time, Jack swam from Alcatraz Island to Fisherman’s Wharf. Again, he was handcuffed, but this time he was also shackled and towed a 1,000-pound boat.
# 1975 (age 61): Repeating his performance 21 years earlier, Jack again swam the entire length of the Golden Gate Bridge, underwater and handcuffed, but this time he was shackled and towed a 1,000-pound boat.
# 1976 (age 62): To commemorate the “Spirit of ‘76″, United States Bicentennial, Jack swam one mile in Long Beach Harbor. He was handcuffed and shackled, and he towed 13 boats (representing the 13 original colonies) containing 76 people.
# 1979 (age 65): Jack towed 65 boats in Lake Ashinoko, near Tokyo, Japan. He was handcuffed and shackled, and the boats were filled with 6,500 pounds of Lousiana Pacific wood pulp.
Everyone knows what a jumping jack is and how to do one, but do you know where the name comes from? I bet not, so I feel it is my place to let you know. How about a lovely fact for this enjoyably Sunday afternoon? Sure, please tell me one you say. Well back in the day, lets say sometime between 1920 and 1940 in Anywhere, USA there was a man named Jack Lalanne. He was a big fitness and exercise guy, and boy was he ripped. This guy has done some incredible things in his life, including putting his name on a juicing machine. That aside, he apparently invented the “Jumping Jack” as an exercise move. And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
