"On December 16th, 1961, the world turned upside down and inside out, and I was born screaming in America. It was the tale end of the American Dream, just before we lost our innocence irrevocably, and the TV eye brought the horror of our lives into our homes for all to see. I was told when I grew up, I could be anything I wanted. A fireman, a policeman, a doctor. Even president, it seemed. And for the first time in the history of mankind, something new called an astronaut. But like many kids growing up on a steady diet of Westerns, I always wanted to be the cowboy hero. That lone voice in the wilderness, fighting corruption and evil wherever I found it, and standing for freedom, truth and justice…in my never-ending ride into the setting sun." –Bill Hicks: Relentless

This fan comment was published January 14, 1996. Is it just a coincidence that the fan shared a name with comedian Bill Hicks and his wish came true? The Cowboys did win the Super Bowl a couple weeks later, but this Bill's presumably favorite team, the Green Bay Packers, went the next two years plus 2011 (winning two championships). Dallas has not returned to the Super Bowl since the month this prophetic message was published.

No, that's not the Jackass Steve-O, that's Steve Ochs.

Bill: This is a hijacking!
Pilot: Where do you wanna go, Cuba?
Bill: No, I wanna go where this plane was supposed to be five effing hours ago! That's right! I'm hijacking this plane to its scheduled destination!
