Nina Love

Foo always gets a little starstruck when he meets music legends, but Nina Simone was so gracious and welcoming that she even invited Foo to play with her on her cool floating keyboard.

Mothman Returns

Foo had heard stories about the mythical mothman who was known to terrorize the town of Point Pleasant, WV. He was happy to actually find him when he visited the town.
Foo read up on the legend while visiting with the beast. Foo knows what really happened. As always, he was there.

Who's Johnny? Foo Said

Foo had to look no further to answer his own question this time. He found out that it was the famous Johnny Appleseed, who combed the land planting none other than apple seeds to spread the love that is the apple. You go, Johnny!

All Hail Saint Arnold

Upon entering the Saint Arnold Brewery, Foo was greeted warmly by the Patron Saint of Brewers himself. As legend has it, in July 642, the parishioners of Metz, France, went to recover the remains of Saint Arnold from Remiremont to bring back to their town. It was very hot, and they had little to drink and the terrain was inhospitable.

When the exhausted procession was about to leave a city on the way, one of the parishioners prayed, “By his powerful intercession the Blessed Arnold will bring us what we lack.”

Immediately the small remnant of beer at the bottom of a pot multiplied into such amounts that the pilgrims' thirst was quenched, and they had enough to enjoy the next evening when they arrived in Metz.

Needless to say, Foo worshipped the ground beneath his portrait.
