“Is it bigger than breadbox?”
It’s the Olympic TV coverage–we’ve been getting a lot of figure skating lately here in Canada, and the local news (out of Calgary) has reminded us a few times of the 1988 Calgary games. That was where Witt won gold; and I remember watching her skate for the gold.

Orson Welles famously said, “We will sell no wine before its time,” in a series of commercials for (IIRC) Paul Masson wines.
Still drawing a blank.
