With strong public support within the past few days having exceeded all of our hopes and dreams, it is my very distinct pleasure to announce the survival of our beloved B.A. Baracus!

At approximately 11:30pm on Saturday evening, B.A. was hooked up to a ventilator apparatus and was still floating on his side unable to submerge. In a drunken state, JKREW unhooked the ventilator and proceeded to push B.A.'s belly against the glass causing him to expel some air bubbles. As this action didn't seem to help, JKREW went to bed planning on giving B.A. Baracus a viking funeral when he woke the next morning.

At approximately 10am sunday morning, JKREW woke to a very spry and energetic B.A. happily swimming around his tank with a smile on his face and a skip in his stroke. Somehow, with the power of 23 samurai warriors, B.A. survived the night and is now back to perfect shape.

Many have asked if B.A. will be launching a comeback tour now that he has been given a new lease on life but sources close to B.A. have not yet confirmed nor denied his wishes to come out of retirement.

B.A. and his family wish to thank everyone who put him in their prayers Saturday evening as well as those who sent gift baskets and flower arrangements for his grieving family.
