		Stover is also an avid martial artist and a student of the Degerberg Blend, a jeet kune do concept that mixes approximately twenty-five different fighting arts from around the world.

		Ken was opening KMOP in Tucson, Arizona and wanted Smokey to be his sign-on man. Smokey hit the airwaves there in January, 1960 and remained there for eight years when he took a couple of years out to concentrate on his singing and songwriting.
		Smokey went on the air there in early 1993 and ran a midnight 'til 6 am show for a year until it "got old" and he re-retired.
		Smokey enjoyed romping and stomping with the Oldies for about eight months when he hung it up and returned to his native Texas where he's retired from radio, but still pickin' and singin' every weekend.

	Prostate Anger
		Six years ago, Stover was living quietly in a small western Pennsylvania town and, in his words, "was fat, dumb and happy." He busied himself with gardening, hiking and, best of all, he related, he had remarried.
		According to Stover, he has "slight incontinence," suffers recurring pain in his lower back and pelvis ("I'm going to a chiropractor" for relief), and, in his greatest regret, is continually discouraged from sexual relations by stabbing pain and swelling in his groin whenever he becomes aroused.
		Stover says he had never heard of this approach until a neighbor stopped by, reporting how he recently had undergone brachytherapy.

		For the record, Holman's other two catch phrases were "Foo" (which Holman said was a Chinese expression for "Good Luck") and "1506 Nix Nix" (which was a warning to single women to stay away from the hotel room in which a fellow cartoonist with a lecherous reputation was known to stay).

	Did you Know...?: Smokey Stover: Foo Fighter Extraordinaire
		With bizarre, made up words and phrases, Smokey's brand of humor was utterly unique and especially appealing to audiences who could appreciate a good pun.
		From the head of the firehouse Chief Cash U. Nutt (a goofball-and-a-half with a desk shaped like a foot) to the firehouse cat (a scrawny little thing with a be-ribboned tail) to Smokey's wife Cookie and son Earl, the Smokey Stover cast was a hodgepodge of hilarity and misadventure.
		Smokey considered himself a "Foo fighter", his fire truck was a "Foomobile", and he was often heard saying, "Where there's Foo, there's fire." This word caught on, and the term "Foo Fighters" became popular army slang, referring to mysterious balls of light that reportedly appeared beside aircraft during WWII.

		The war experiences of the pilot and crew of the B17 "Smokey Stover" - from the 486th Bomb Group, 832 BS (1944-1945) A chronology of the events and places from the personal archives of Albert I. Pierce.
		For a start even the name `foo-fighter' is problematic; did it come from the old Smokey Stover cartoon character saying "Where there's foo there's fire"; or was it from the French word feu, meaning fire, or was it, according to one ex-B17 waist gunner I spoke to, from "phooey".
		Smokey drove around in a two-wheeled fire truck called the Foomobile, and he called himself a foo fighter rather than a firefighter.

	foo - definition by dict.die.net
		The earliest documented uses were in the "Smokey Stover" comic strip published from about 1930 to about 1952.
		In 1944-45, the term `foo fighters' was in use by radar operators for the kind of mysterious or spurious trace that would later be called a UFO (the older term resurfaced in popular American usage in 1995 via the name of one of the better grunge-rock bands).
		Because informants connected the term directly to the Smokey Stover strip, the folk etymology that connects it to French "feu" (fire) can be gently dismissed.
	dict.die.net /foo (1320 words)

	Foo Fighters - Crystalinks
		The term is generally thought to have been borrowed from the often surrealist comic strip Smokey Stover.
		Smokey, a firefighter, was fond of saying "Where there's foo there's fire." (this "foo" may have come from "feu", the French word for "fire", or from Smokey's pronunciation of the word "fuel".) A Big Little Book titled Smokey Stover the Foo Fighter was published in 1938.
		In the same vein, "Foo" could be derived from the French "Fou," or "mad." "Foo fighter" was supposedly used as a semi-derogatory reference to Japanese fighter pilots (known for erratic flying and extreme maneuvering), it became a catch-all term for fast moving, erratically flying objects (such as UFOs).
