Yogi Coudoux
In my very informal survey it seems that only men of the right age remember the incredible Yogi Coudoux. I don't know what it was about Yogi but if you were a young boy when "That's Incredible" was on the air you lived for seeing Yogi get into the plexi-glass box and be submerged underwater. For all I know he was left in the box for days. Recently my sister, brother-in-law and I rediscovered Yogi online and I felt like a twelve year old boy again. Thanks Yogi. Your talents will never cease to entertain me.

T-C,
I have to admit that at the time I did the Yogi thumbs-up pose I felt so cool (well and silly)...but the next day my knee kinda hurt. Luckily, it seems fine now. But I do think Yogi has something going for him--he looks so youthful!
love, Ka

Hey p.s.
I wonder if adding Yogi to your site might widen your blog audience--when others your age go googling for an icon of their youth...

The secret to Yogi was that he used his Yogi feets as a second pair of hands. Look at the dynamic foot action that picture! He's esentialy using his right foot to push his little Yogi toichus into the box.
It would be cool to have that Yogi box. You could use it as a planter. Or a punch bowl. "You're drinking from the very box Yogi Coudoux once spent seven minutes underwater in wearing nothing but a cloth undergarment," you could say to your dinner guests as you handed them a glass of punch.
A disappointing moment in my youth was when the guy came on "That's Incredible!" who showed how all these guys were a bunch of fakers. I specifically remember he showed how the ESP/mind-reader guy was turning the pages in the dictionary by simply blowing with his mouth. Little was "incredible!" to me after that -- though Yogi remains forever incredible.

Yes, many an evening of my youth was spent slack-jawed at the tv- "TI" being one of the big ones, especially for my brother. I was more of a "Real People" girl.Although I still have nightmares about Skip Stevenson's teeth, I wanted to BE Sarah Purcell.
