I saw that at target, it looks like a panini machine. I can imagine how much the company that makes them is paying to use his name for that ..

George gets an eternal free pass from me for:

1. Naming all his sons George

2. Foreman vs. Lyle. Mutual brain damage is where it's at, baby.

The grills are pretty kickin', too!

thats it..

i project that within the next 5 years, George Foreman is going to create a product (or atleast endorse one created with his name on it) that will cook, grill, bake, griddle, sautee, kabob, mix, and skillet - it will also be self-cleaning, easy-off, and will wipe your ass...

and it'll be called the "lean mean work reducing machine" - because they wont be able to use "fat busting" we'll all become miserable fat asses because this grill/home defense device will cook our dinners, while we sit down and watch seinfeld..

Like George himself, it does a great job at destroying most meat products. My first Foreman grille ended up in the trash. I called it the flavor remover.
The next Christmas I received the largest outdoor model made at the time... BAH. It is still in the box a few years later.

George Foreman is to the art of cooking what Esteban is to the art of guitar playing.

And don't get me started on the roto-zip.
... and then the wheel fell off.

Name your price, Ron ... I'll take it off your hands.

If you prop up the front, the juices stay in place. Anything that ends up in the little tray I just pour back on the steak, you know, knida like basting.

Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose, Rob? I thought we were supposed to "knock out the fat"! :D

Latley on Rockpage, I've been detecting a lot of playa-hating directed towards Esteban. Is there something wrong with a Jose Feliciano-wannabe (and a rather mediocre one at that considering that he studied under Andres Segovia) that whores poorly crafted guitars on QVC and gives the same story of how he just wants to bring music to all of the world's children?

Esteban was born in Pittsburgh, and his real name is Stephen Paul. He claims to have studied under Segovia, but his only proof is an an autograph and a picture of he and Segovia, (which isn't really proof).

Here's an in-depth article so everyone can judge for themselves.

Interesting. I always thought that he was a quite a mediocre guitarist when considering that he supposably studied with Segovia. I remember when he was whoring his electric piece of junk on QVC (which looked like an ugly cross between a Strat and Les Paul), and he couldn't even play any of the runs cleanly.

Supposedly he studied with Segovia and was twice as good as he is now but, was in some bad accident where he ended up not playing for quite some time. Even at that, he's pretty damn average for a flamenco-style guitarist, especially one assuming the caliber he places upon himself. It's either that or QVC handcuffs him completely.
If youth knew; if age could.
