In THIS thread **Photopat **rants about an article they didn’t know was over 38 years old.
Shouldn’t feel too bad. Let me tell you what I did once:
Not too long ago, while I was away at work, my wife cleaned some boxes out of the attic. When I came home I saw a couple of catalogs on the table. Of course I assumed it was the days mail. Nobody was home at that time to tell me otherwise.
I looked through one catalog and found a couple of things I really liked, at great prices!! I took out my credit card and picked up the phone and called the toll-free number.
But every item I tried to order the rep said they didn’t have, and the product number didn’t show up on the computer. I really started to get pissed!
“This is the XXX company of Bumblefunk, USA?”
Yes sir.
“I want to speak to your supervisor. NOW!”:mad:
The supervisor also could find no listing for the items or the product numbers I wanted to order! Jerks! I hung up.
I was fuming and pissed. I wanted those items!
Then my wife returned home and eventually said “do you need those catalogs I cleaned out of the attic?”
“Cleaned…out…of…the…attic?”
Now I find this absolutely hilarious. Couldn’t you tell by the pictures? I would think pictures would give it away, even if it’s just the photo quality. But you don’t say what it was a catalog for.
Good point. I don’t know what my attic contains because my ex put it there when we moved in, and I don’t go up there. But I know there aren’t 38 year old magazines there!
I was half-listening to a hockey game preshow the other night just a few minutes before the game was about to start. All of a sudden I hear the cheering increase in volume and the announcer yelling “SCOOOOORE!!!” I stared at my computer trying to comprehend how we had scored in what surely must be the opening seconds of the game when I realized it was a clip from the previous night’s game. D’oh!
They were in the attic because they were in a box that got put up there when we moved into this place.
The catalog was for shooting supplies and whatnot. I forget the companies name, but the catalog looked very similar to the Sportsmans Guide which I still get occassionally. The year was printed rather small on the cover.
Had I looked at the back morwe carefully I would have noticed the address stamped on it was a residence we haven’t lived in since 1989!
But otherwise it was in perfect shape, and looks identical to things I get every week.
Many years ago, at least 25, I was out hunting with my Uncle. We were racing back to his place because there was a football game on we wanted to watch and we were late.
We ran into his house (it was actually my Grandmas house) and he turned on the T.V…
He had one of those “instant on sets”.
First thing we see is a Green Bay Packer running down the field with the ball towards the end zone.
Uncle and I are on our feet yelling Go! Go! Go!Run! Run!Run!TOUCHDOWN!!
Our elation was eliminated when the screen cut to a sports reporter who said “…the Packers went on to win that game, blah, blah, blah…”
It wasn’t the actual game. It was a clip from a previous game!
There we stood, cheering and yelling at a game that was history!:smack:
