Title: Michael Janich on Time Warp
Post by: dj454 on June 10, 2009, 09:15:01 PM
I just watched Time Warp on the Discovery channel and they had a guy throwing knives, screwdrivers, pliers,hatchets etc. and I thought that looks like Michael Janich. It was. Cool segment I sure they will replay it i wish he had told us he was on the show. It was pretty cool. Mr Janich if you read this I must say you are awesome.

If anyone hears about a replay please let us know. I'd really like to catch it. I'll warm up the old DVR.

All I have to say is this:  Mike, I thought you were a guy I'd always invite into my home.  I still believe that...EXCEPT....keep yer mitts OFF my tire iron, and move slowly away from my blender!

Seriously though...I'd not want to be the feller who ticked you off in a room full of household implements.   ;D

After that segment, I began to think who needs Chuck Norris when you can destroy a blender with a tire iron.

There is always a need for Chuck Norris!  Don't speak such heresy!

Thank you all for the great feedback. I didn't realize that the show was going to air until right before it ran, so I had my wife Tivo it. They did a nice job of cutting everything together.

It was a very "different" experience. I expected to do my normal throwing thing (which includes lots of stuff--including pliers) and stick stuff into wood, foam, or cardboard. Blenders were not on my list, but it looked pretty cool.

Thanks again for your support!

Stay safe,

Mike

Cool!  I always wanted to learn to throw a knife but never had one I didn't care about ruining to practice with!  ;)

Not me!!  Never wanted to give the wife any ideas for a new hobby, if you get my drift.   ;D
