Don’t you get a crown when you eat Imperial Margarine?
Charo and Elvis went by one name - and I thought Ann Jillian was the same, because I thought her name was Angillian
I hadn’t encountered anyone named Walt, so it was awhile before I realized that Waltdisney was actually a person’s name.
I don’t recall exactly how old I was, but definitely single digits. My parents borrowed a friend’s station wagon and drove us for two hours out to some farm because they had bought a cow.
Imagine my disappointment when all we took home was a bunch of meat.
It wasn’t all that long ago - maybe 10 years or so - that a co-worker returned from a visit down south and relayed how shocked she was to learn that there was still segregation happening. She had seen a sign near the entrance to a bar that said “no colors”.
mmm
…It’s…oh…but… oh…
My mind is blown.
And she’s pregnant because she apparently got 'round, and not with Joseph.
I don’t get it? Does this mean “No gangs?”
No signs of gang affiliation.
I thought “Yield to Pedestrians” was “Yield to Presbyterians”. I was a little dyslexic.
Did you lie awake at night wondering if there really was a dog? 
In preschool one of my teachers was named Mrs. White. Mrs. White had white hair, so I assumed her name was a description of her hair color.
The old commercials for Dow Bathroom Cleaner showed a bunch of anthropomorphic cartoon bubbles emerging from the bottle and cleaning a bathroom. I believed that is what would literally happen if we bought the product, so I begged my mom to buy some. I was extremely disappointed.
And, relatedly, when I was younger, in Wisconsin, I used to see signs at the bars that said “No Club Colors,” which was specifically referring to motorcycle jackets or other gear that signified membership in a motorcycle club (some of which apparently had a bad reputation for fighting).
It’s not a gang, it’s a club.
I never said otherwise. But, my understanding was that there was enough of a history of members of some of those clubs getting into fights with each other at local bars, that many bars in Green Bay started putting up those sighs.
I haven’t thought about that SNL skit in a while.
Yes, this is the type of sign it was. I’ve seen plenty of “no colors” signs back when I used to visit bars.
To be clear, my co-worker thought “no colors” meant no people of color allowed.
mmm
I, too, was really disappointed in the “scrubbing bubbles.” What came out of the bottle was boring. So sad.
Speaking of cleaners, I was seriously creeped out by the four armed character logo of a cleanser called “Handy Andy”.
Paul Winchell as the voice…
Winchell provided the voices of Sam-I-Am and the unnamed character Sam pesters in Green Eggs and Ham from the animated television special Dr. Seuss on the Loose in 1973. He played Fleabag on The Oddball Couple , Fearless Freddy the Shark Hunter on the Pink Panther spin-off Misterjaw in 1976, as well as a number of one-shot characters in The Blue Racer series. In commercials, he voiced the character of Burger Chef for the fast food chain of the same name, the Scrubbing Bubbles for Dow Chemicals and Mr. Owl for Tootsie Roll Pops.[14]
I had a friend who, when we were ten, thought that the “signature” on the end of a baseball bat meant the player had used it. Um,
- It isn’t signed…it’s stamped on and ink was added
- All the signatures look like they’re in the same hand…generic
- The small bats a ten year old would use were hardly big enough for a major leaguer
- How many bats would he have to use to keep all the stores supplied?
