...bubble gum. An audience member is hauled up onstage, dressed in a white jumpsuit and helmet, and taken backstage, where a video camera shows him getting suspended by his feet, splashed with blue paint and bounced against a canvas. He reappears onstage with his head encased in a mold of orange Jell-O. (It's a bit of Blue Man trickery: the fellow manhandled backstage is actually a pretaped double. The Jell-O, however, is real...

...second most important cause -- the spirit of freedom in individual people, which survived 70 years of totalitarian rule -- both sides were caught by surprise. The communists had more than three generations in which to mold a New Soviet Man. Few outsiders suspected they had failed so completely.

Here's a better way to think about it: Imagine if the Cleavers, the Bradys and the Bunkers were tossed raw into an oversized postmodern blender. Now imagine that Roseanne Barr drinks the chunky concoction and vomits into a family-shaped jello mold. Chill and serve Sundays at 9. Voila! May I present...the Bundys...

Fuller doesn't fit the mold of a fullback at a lanky 6-ft., 200 lbs. Fuller's bruising play might merit a selection to the All-John Madden team, but he doesn't look the type: he is clean cut, speaks clearly (as opposed to grunting like a true All-Madden player) and definitely doesn't eat raw meat for breakfast...
