Colonel Sanders rescued from river after 24 years
TOKYO – He was covered in mud when pulled from the river, and had lost both legs and hands, not to mention his glasses. But Colonel Sanders still had his trademark smile, 24 years later.
A statue of the KFC mascot has been found in a river in Osaka, a city official said Wednesday, nearly a quarter century after being tossed in by crazed baseball fans who felt the image of restaurant founder Harland Sanders resembled a key team member.
"He was apparently found standing upright, which is fitting, because although he was a nice man he could also be very strict and demanding," said Sumeo Yokakawa, a spokeswoman at the chain's Tokyo headquarters.
She said the statue was taken from a nearby KFC restaurant and tossed in the river as part of a celebration by baseball fans in 1985, the year Osaka's baseball team, the Hanshin Tigers, won the national championship.
Local fans thought the Colonel bore a resemblance to Randy Bass, a bearded power hitter and first baseman from the U.S. who played for the team at the time.
Fans often jump into the murky river to celebrate the team's successes, but there has been little to celebrate in recent years. Many fans feel the team has been plagued by the "curse of Colonel Sanders" since his effigy was submerged in 1985.
It has failed to win a national championship since, although it did win its division in 2003.
The upper half of the statue was found Tuesday in Osaka's Dotonburi River during construction work to build a new walkway, according to city official Hideo Yuko. His legs and right hand were found Wednesday morning.
The colonel will be kept in police custody for the time being, but Yokakawa said KFC is considering donating him to the home stadium of the Tigers in Osaka. The store where he originally stood has since closed.
The KFC chain currently operates about 1,160 restaurants in Japan, and has about 1,000 Colonel Sanders statues in the country.
Osaka, Japan's second-largest city after Tokyo, is located about 260 miles (420 kilometers) west of the capital.

I was wondering if Gyps has 2 steam tents like the Wii's
August is the 2 years +1 month for failing the breathalizer.
I know I DID drink and get behind the wheel, but I really thought I was drinking resposibly.
I blew a .08 which IS the legal limit.
I now know I am unable to drink responsibly.....no excuses/exceptions.
I was "supposedly" eligible for a work lisense after a year.
I was in 3 different schools and not once did I go on a "Spring Break" somewhere warm or anywhere else for that reason. I s'pose I was living a constant spring break and went to the beach on my back porch.

Hi guys, just checking in again. I'm leaving for a step meeting in a minute. I really need to be around people in recovery today.
Oh, and on Monday I'm having the tests done. I'm having a ultrasound and blood work.

Interview went well. I have to fill out an app, take a class... then audition in a week or so. What is this friggin Broadway???
My teach went well I spose. She said I'm a little loud (duh), fast and need to give more breath cues. Technically I am great. I'll work on the other stuff but honestly I don't see me being more quiet
