Never hate caring deeply.

I was actually surprised to find out that the show originated from Minn. My guess is that they must have pulled in WGN 9 out of Chicago over the air, 'cause there was no way that they would have known all those otherwise.

Yeah, I remember it. But a lot of the stuff I remember was local & involved phone numbers where they used 2 letters at the beginning. Like "Call MO-hawk four-four one hundred, C E T for television". Part of the reason the early MST3K was fun to watch, they had many of the same commercials in their references.

Lots of them. Soda, beer, frozen foods, cigarettes (on tv), drag strips ("SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!") - all sorts of stuff when I was a little kid in the 60s.

Coming in at #152 on our survey...

As someone who's been in retail since the late 60s, I can assure you that I can imagine. Fun fact - Montgomery Wards also sold houses around the same time, and in the never ending battle to one up Sears, they named one of the house kits, "The Kenmore".

Why not? Sears used to sell houses. http://www.arts-crafts.com/archive/kithome/rt-searskits.shtml

CVS has restraining orders now?

The shop is in Ann Arbor.

Friend of mine has a shop (Retro-A-GoGo) that does Cons. This wasn't Cinci, was it?

Mimic something that another species does in such a way that it syncs to music.

I've missed you.... but I'm reloading.

Not. Even. Close.

No zeni, you misheard. It was "bad beer". (which by the way 'rots our young guts but vodka goes well, get some, get some now')

I thought you were referring to the usual divot in the dirt at the end of the slide. The playground/park outside of my old condo had some sort of rubberized surface. The weird thing about the pic, it looks like there's another opening behind that red post, and maybe another near the shade way behind the slide. Makes me wonder if they were supposed to be filled with something, which the edges of the concrete around the openings would still seem dangerous. Or maybe, "They all float down there".

Thank you Disco. I was beginning to wonder if anyone noticed.

You left out the "Human Operator" who was actually behind the wheel. And inevitably, we'll need to add the hacker(s).
