I have something mundane and pointless that I have to share. When I was a child growing up in the 1990’s this commercial played constantly on TV. I must have seen it more than a hundred times in my life. I’ve searched for it on the Internet every so often, and I just found it. It’s developed somewhat of a cult following, and it’s very rare to find a college student who grew up in the US nowadays who hasn’t heard of it.

Husband: The paper says tomorrow’s gonna be hotter. Wife: Hotter? Husband: Like yesterday. Wife: Yesterday? Yesterday you said you’d call Sears. Husband: I’ll call today. Wife: You’ll call _now_. Husband: I’ll call now! –cut to sales pitch– Wife: So what’s the paper say about tomorrow? Husband: Another scorcher! Wife: Cool. ---

Um, I just noticed that there was a thread reminiscing on old commercials in Cafe Society. Mods, do as you please. ---

I remember those commercials. I think they still get shown every now and again during the late night hours during the summer.
