William "The Fox" Foster
Biography:
The story of "The Fox" actually began on the Westwood campus of UCLA, where Foster was a border at a fraternity house. He got his first job performing at The Nickelodeon, a small pub at the corner of McClellan and Wilshire Blvd., and was later hired to work at the Mammoth Mountain Inn. He quickly tired of working for others, however, and decided to strike out on his own.
For more than four decades, Foster was somewhat of a local legend in barrooms across Los Angeles (at least to the crowd that first learned He was the self-proclaimed "World's Fastest Beer Drinker" -- able to guzzle a pint of brew quicker than most of us could spill it on the floor -- and a master performer of what he called "songs your mother wouldn't sing."
Foster was best known as proprietor of the Fox Inn, a popular west side tavern, from 1961 to 1989. He performed there nightly, leading his patrons in song and often challenging unsuspecting beer drinkers to chugging races. But the highlight of each night was to see Foster chug a pint of beer while standing on his head.
It wasn't long before Foster's combination of naughty lymrics and stupid human tricks began turning heads in Hollywood. Although his act was sometimes considered too outrageous for primetime, he became a frequent guest star on local and national television programs, including The Jeffersons, Taxi, The Mike Douglas Show and Thicke of The Night.
Foster briefly faded from the public eye in the late '90s, but discovered a whole new audience on cable television. In the summer of 1999, he combined the duties of emcee, house band and sidekick to stars Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel on Comedy Central's top-rated hit, The Man Show, Where He is Credited as the Creator of The Man Show Toast, also known as Ziggy Zahgee.
He Sadly Passed Away on May 10th 2000, of Prostrate Cancer. He will Be Very Sadly missed.
And Fox? Wherever you are, We are still hoisting a Beer and Giving a cheer for you every time. We miss you, buddy.

A TV network stupid enough to cancel Family Guy and so hardened on trying to ruin American culture that it turned the MLB All-Star game into a reality TV show by making it count for something. The only thing that keeps FOX alive is "The Simpsons", which constantly makes fun of its own network. FOX is almost a symbol for all that is evil in America.
FOX News is about the crappiest news ever. About 1/4 of it is actually news and the other crap is "are online flower orders making you wilt?"

(VERB) To cancel or abort prematurely. Comes from the way the FOX television network has a habit of canceling fantastic shows before anyone realizes how good they are.
Examples of FOX'd shows: Futurama, Family Guy, Firefly.

Person 1: I really love that new show, Dollhouse.
Person 2: Me too! I sure hope it doesn't get FOX'd.

American television network. The face of evil in modern media. Introduced the world to trash TV two decades ago with such pointless crap as "The Morton Downey Jr. Show" and have continued the trend with such recent entries as "Who's Your Daddy?" and "The Swan."
Despite this, news division and all-news cable channel are so rabidly pro right-wing you almost expect nazi propaganda films to play after midnight. Often decries "immoral" activities and supports war on the grounds of "fighting the forces of evil."
