The only show that was equally likely to give you a Muhammad Ali fight, a Harlem Globetrotters game, or an Evel Knievel jump. Nothing like it today.

Sign this girl immediately. She smoked Mike Pence with that water balloon
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This was not former VP Pence; nor was it in Iowa. It is Nassau County (NY) County Executive Bruce Blakeman at an annual parade and water balloon fight at Stewart Manor. He took it in stride as the water balloons are expected there. indystar.com/story/news/202…

Lonnie Johnson, a renowned scientist at NASA, gained fame for his remarkable creation known as the Super Soaker. Growing up in Alabama, Lonnie had an inherent love for experimentation and enjoyed disassembling toys, attempting to rebuild them. However, one of his experiments involving rocket fuel in a frying pan nearly resulted in his house catching fire.
During his tenure at NASA from 1979 to 1991, Lonnie Johnson made significant contributions by developing the nuclear power source used in the Galileo mission to Jupiter. It was while collaborating with the Air Force that he conceived the concept for the Super Soaker. In 1989, he officially patented his invention, originally naming it the "Power Drencher."
Lonnie Johnson's remarkable achievements extend far beyond the Super Soaker. He holds an impressive collection of more than 250 patents, earning him a well-deserved place in the esteemed National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2022. Currently residing in Atlanta with his wife Linda Moore, Lonnie is a proud parent to four children. The enduring popularity of the Super Soaker continues, making it one of the best-selling toys in America.
