Well, their prosecuting on behalf of the state. It’s the State of Georgia v. Donald Trump, not the county v. Trump.
In Washington they’re call things like “King County Prosecutor” which still doesn’t make complete sense, because they are also representing the County in civil matters. No one says D.A. or State’s Attorney.
They are - but “State’s Attorney” to me sounds like a completely different set up , where all the prosecutors throughout the state work for a single state agency, aren’t independently elected, etc.
Only once have I seen this; it was in elementary school when I must have been in third grade or so. A handmade sugn informed us that the school secretary had “lost her voice” due to laryngyitis. LOST HER VOICE!!, I thought. I didn’t know these things are temporary.
Forgive me if this has already been mentioned, but how about mobile phones that always seem to have around 3% battery left and always at the most critical times. Don’t most people have chargers in several rooms at home, in their car, and at work, assuming the latter is a job where that would be feasible? How are these characters letting their phones run down like that?
Obviously in some plots there’s a good reason for running out of battery, but not always.
I just finished watching this old clip, and am 99.999% certain the guy who orders the beer is a very young Louie Anderson. Which would make sense because they were both from Minnesota. (The commercial is ca. 1970.)
Got me curious, so I did a little google-sleuthing. His first acting credit in IMDB is in 1984, which doesn’t mean much- I’m sure IMDB doesn’t know everything.
But his year of birth is 1953, and the copyright date at the end of that commercial, though it’s hard to make out, looks like 1960, not 70. Even if the commercial is ca. 1970, he would’ve only been 17 at the time. Not inconceivable that he could’ve been playing older than his age, since I’m sure he was a big boy for his age at 17, but unlikely. Sorry to call you out on it, since I very much respect your huge breadth and depth of pop culture knowledge, but I feel like you’d want to know.
I remember seeing those Hamms ads about the time I was in junior high, which would be 1967–1970, though they certainly could have been around longer than that. Assuming he was ~18 at the time, that would place this one around 1971.
Would a couple of short lines in a regional beer commercial be enough to earn an acting credit on IMDb? A better question is, would it have even gotten him noticed there? I think the first time I saw his act was on The Tonight Show in 1984, but he was already well known as a stand-up comedian among the hip and cool in Minneapolis/St Paul, who think Edina is the center of the Universe.
So, pending further proof or disproof, I’m going to chalk this one up as “Possible but Unconfirmed.”
Seen it? I’ve experienced it more than a couple of times. Not fun. Usually goes away in a couple of days if you don’t talk and gargle with the appropriate concoctions. I’ve posted signs like the school secretary did, too.
