And # 3- I would pay anyone out there for that Complete ‘Return of the Jedi’ toy set nowadays. MAN OH MAN !! 😊 Love it

I remember that Tareyton commercial. "Us Tareyton smokers would rather fight than switch". Sadly, cigarette ads on TV were dead in 1970. Some of the best ads were for cigarettes.

I was born in April 1962. When I was just a little kid in the 60's, those Tareyton ads shocked the living hell out of me, possibly because it made me think of a nasty neighbor who lived down the street from us in Warren, Michigan. He and his wife were definitely two people you'd want to *avoid* like the plague.

🤣 🥴 🚬

And people would get on *Winston* for "bad grammar"! -laugh-

He's not drunk he's stoned!

Great one!!!!! Thanks! 😉

Nah, he was grinning because he busted the other guy up & won the fight.

it was the 60's drunk and stoned was the norm

LOL...The stoned part still is 😎😂🤣

I'd pay $1000. for that bike right now!

To sell, but definitely not to ride. Those old fat-tire cruisers were hell on Earth, but we didn't have anything better back then. No 27-speed derailleurs even thought of -- best you could do was a 3-speed hub.

Not that youth is learning cursive writing anymore, my hunch is double spaces were encouraged to more clearly define the separation of sentences. As a practical matter. However with electronic input now the norm an extra space could be a wasteful use of space. And some sources of input will remove excess space anyway.

But I agree, when grammar becomes a game of one up man ship it's lost it's purpose. When content is sacraficed by the distraction. On the other hand, learning never hurt anyone.

To be fair, you're technically correct - but I've seen (and also have used) single quotes to isolate a lesser point, while double quotes were used for titles - such as : "The Werewolf" was a so-called 'horror film', but I found it quite amusing...

Truth be told, in today's "Modern America" (double quotes intended) you'll be hard-pressed to find many who know and understand punctuational etiquette. Look at how many people mix-up plural 's' with possessive 's' (single quotes intentional)...

Even Walgreen's dropped their apostrophe some years back (supposedly because of "texting English") to become Walgreens. Thing is, Charles Walgreen (*not* Walgreens) was the company's founder.

I've even seen things like "Johns store" and doo-wop groups with their name on the record label spelled as "The Four Hunter's" [band name here was phony - just an example]

To quote Rhett Butler (as I've done before)... "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!"

Your kind reply is appreciated! Glad we found the same side of fence to be on, with a nod to decent education!! Thank you teachers!

I hate to say, that makes me feel really gelty.....

All I have is an iPad (an old one at that) 😂 But it was really my fault for just glancing at the "Atari" name and assuming it was the older one....I'll be paying closer attention next time and thank you for the magnifying tip 😉

As I remember pong was just hitting the big/chain bars in 79

Yep! That's it 👍 I had one my Senior year in HS, '79 😎

i played pond on a buddies cable tv in the early 70's . it's been around a long time

So it goes...

What does Jolly Old Saint Nick have packed into the bowl of his pipe? He has that glassy eyed look about him. Has the North Pole legalized marijuana? }For both medical and recreational use.} Well, whatever's he's smoking, he looks like he's tripping on something!
Speaking of flying: Anybody seen that Red Bull commercial? According to it, folks won't be hearing the "prancing and pawing of each little hoof" on their rooftops this Christmas Eve. The reindeer aren't too happy about Santa sprouting wings courtesy of Red Bull! I like like this commercial and the two from Duluth Trading {The one where Santa crashes through roof, and my favorite part, [I thought it was a clever idea!] where we get the Tree's POV on what it's like to be decorated. I wonder if the tree thinks being wrapped with Christmas lights, is the equivalent to being wrapped with barbed wire?!?!

I said two Duluth ones, but I think all of this is in one ad.

It would sort of explain his endlessly "Jolly" state, wouldn't it? (And the epic case of milk-and-cookie munchies for that matter!)

Cough ? that was a Tareyton it couldn't make a nonsmoker cough!
