Actor Charles Bronson was born 100 years ago today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLES BRONSON!

"Did anyone else notice the boxing poster in the locker room? The boxer's name on top was Bolie Jackson. Rod Serling would use the same name for the boxer in the Twilight Zone episode "The Big Tall Wish". I guess Mr. Serling was paying homage to "One Step Beyond" and John Newland. They were both great hosts of great television shows!"

If I received a nickel for every time Mr. whoozit was the first to respond with a correct answer, well, I'd probably have at least twenty cents or so.

The nice thing about this choice is that the customer gets a free gift with every 100 pound chest ordered:
