OTIS CAMPBELL WASN'T A DRUNK - HE DIDN'T HAVE STASHES OF BOOZE, HE HAD STASHES OF 40% BRAN FLAKES

2013-05-09T11:09:00Z

OTIS CAMPBELL HAS BEEN PAINTED AS BEING A DRUNKEN OLD FOOL.

IN TRUTH, THE POOR MAN WAS SUFFERING FROM COLON PROBLEMS.

THE BUILDUP OF HIS BODY'S TOXIC WASTES PRODUCED HIS CRAZY "DRUNKEN" DEMEANOR.

PEOPLE ASSUMED HE WAS HIDING BOOZE THROUGHOUT HIS HOME.

HOW WRONG THEY WERE - HE WAS HIDING 40% BRAN FLAKES.

PEOPLE SHOULD NOT ASSUME THINGS

IT MAKES AN ASS OUT OF U & ME

A QUAINT 1959 ANIMATED SOUTHERN SENATOR WHO PREFERS QUAKER PUFFED CEREAL, OVER THE DOLLAR SIGN SHAPED CEREAL

2013-05-06T12:03:00Z

IN 1959, A SOUTHERN SENATOR MIGHT HAVE PREFERRED QUAKER PUFFED WHEAT - HOW QUAINT.

IN 2013, A TYPICAL GOPee SENATOR WOULD PREFER EATING A "RICH MAN" CEREAL.

GOPee SENATORS TEND TO HAVE AN ORGASMIC LOVE OF MONEY, OR CEREAL SHAPED LIKE MONEY.

THE 2013 ERA CEREAL WOULD PROBABLY HAVE A NAME CHANGE - POSSIBLY, "MITT ROMNEY" CEREAL.
__________________________________________________________________________

THIS COMMERCIAL HAS SENATOR HAYES ENJOYING A BOWL OF QUAKER PUFFED WHEAT.

A YOUNG SENATE PAGE TRIES TO CONVINCE HAYES TO EAT THE "RICH MAN" CEREAL.

THE "RICH MAN" CEREAL HAS CEREAL BITS IN THE SHAPE OF DOLLAR SIGNS.

SENATOR HAYES SEEMS TO BE DISGUSTED BY THE DOLLAR SIGN CEREAL.

THIS COMMERCIAL IS SO 1950's QUAINT - A SENATOR WHO DISDAINS DOLLAR SIGN CEREAL.

SENATOR HAYNES LOVES THE NATURAL TASTE OF PUFFED WHEAT CEREAL.

__________________________________________________________________________

TIME TRAVEL TO 2013:

HAYES WOULD BE KICKED OUT OF THE GOP PLAYGROUND - KARL ROVE'S PLAYGROUND.

SUPPOSEDLY, THE GOPee GOES TO KARL'S PLAYGROUND TO ROLL NAKED IN GREENBACKS.

RICH "FRIENDS" OF THE NRA, BANKS & OIL LIKE TO "LEND" DOLLARS FOR "PLAYTIME."

ORGASMIC PLAYTIME WITH DOLLAR BILLS = GOPeeeee LOVE OF MONEY.
__________________________________________________________________________

THE ANIMATED SENATOR IS GIVING AN IMPROMPTU ORATORICAL SPEECH TO THE LAD

HE TELLS HIM THAT THE OTHER CEREALS ARE UNNATURAL.

QUAKER OATS PUFFED WHEAT & RICE CEREAL ARE 100% NATURAL

FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT, I HAVE POSTED THE COMMERCIAL BELOW.

EVERYBODY THINKS THAT ARCHIE BUNKER WAS A MEAT & POTATOES TYPE OF GUY - EVERYBODY IS WRONG.

2013-04-29T12:58:00Z

ACCORDING TO THIS PHOTO, ARCHIE IS A GASTRONOMIC SPECIALIST.

YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME?

SEE FOR YOURSELF.

A SIMPLE FAMILY DINNER

HAMBURGERS ON FRESH BAKED CRISPY ROLLS, WITH A BLUE CHEESE SAUCE.

BEER BATTER ONION RINGS (WOULD HE HAVE ANY OTHER TYPE OF ONION RING?)

MUSHROOM CHOWDER, WITH FANCY GOURMET GARNISH, AS A TREAT FOR THE EYE.

SLICED TOMATOES MARINATING IN A CONTINENTAL VINAIGRETTE.
(PLEASING TO THE PALATE, AND TO THE EYE.)

FARM FRESH (GROWN BY ARCHIE) PEAS & CORN ON THE COB.

FOR DESSERT:

A DECADENT LEMON SAUCE ON DELICIOUS GINGER BREAD, WITH WHIPPED CREAM.

THE NIGHT THAT SIX MEN SERENADED JACK BENNY, WHILE HE WAS IN HIS ROBE, AND STANDING ON HIS BEDROOM BALCONY

2013-04-26T13:48:00Z

IF THE HEADLINE FOR THIS POST DIDN'T CATCH YOUR ATTENTION - I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL.

THE HEADLINE IS TECHNICALLY TRUE, BUT IT WAS DONE FOR A TEXACO COMMERCIAL.

JACK BENNY WAS A MASTER AT DRY HUMOR - HUMOR FOR THE INTELLIGENT MIND.

THIS COMMERCIAL WAS DONE COMPLETELY STRAIGHT FACED, BUT IT WAS VERY FUNNY.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

THE FICTIONAL JACK BENNY WAS A NOTORIOUS CHEAPSKATE, AS OPPOSED TO THE REAL JACK.

THE CHEAPSKATE WOULD ONLY BUY 1 GALLON OF TEXACO GAS.

OF COURSE, THAT IS AN IMPROVEMENT - HE USED TO ONLY BUY A PINT OF GASOLINE.

THE TEXACO ATTENDANTS DESPERATELY WANT JACK BENNY TO FILL UP HIS TANK.

THE GUYS COMPOSE A "JACK BENNY LOVE SONG" TO CONVINCE HIM TO FILL UP.

THE FIRST LINE: "WON'T YOU FILL UP, JACK BENNY? WON'T YOU FILL UP?"
____________________________________________________________________________________

I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE VIDEO POSTED BELOW - DONE BY A MASTER COMEDIAN.

(VIDEO SCREEN SHOT #1)
6 ACTORS PLAYING TEXACO ATTENDANTS ARE SINGING A TEXACO "LOVE SONG" TO JACK

I THINK I HAVE UNCOVERED 3 UNPUBLISHED CHILDHOOD PICTURES OF GEORGE W. BUSH (TONGUE FIRMLY PLACED INSIDE MY CHEEK)

2013-04-21T11:56:11Z

A LOT OF PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT "W" IS NOWHERE CLOSE TO BEING A GENIUS.

A LOT OF PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT "W" IS VERY CLOSE TO BEING A MORON.

I BELIEVE I HAVE EVIDENCE OF "W"'s SUPPOSED BRAIN DAMAGE.

__________________________________________________________________________

THE STORK SUPPOSEDLY WRAPPED "W" IN CELLOPHANE, ON HIS DAY OF BIRTH.

THE STORK MADE A BAD DECISION, WHEN RAIN WAS FORECAST ON JULY 6, 1946.

THE STORK MEANT WELL, BUT THE LACK OF OXYGEN PRODUCED BAD RESULTS.

THE LACK OF OXYGEN SUPPOSEDLY CAUSED "W"'s "SLOWNESS"

"W" SUPPOSEDLY WASN'T 100% BRAIN DAMAGED.

"W" WAS SUPPOSEDLY SLIGHTLY "DIFFERENT" WHEN HE WAS GROWING UP.

__________________________________________________________________________

THE CONNECTICUT NATIVE LOVED TO PRETEND TO BE A ROUGH-TOUGH COWBOY.

IN REALITY, HE WAS THE POLAR OPPOSITE OF BEING A ROUGH-TOUGH HOMBRE.

UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T HAVE ANY CHEERLEADER PICTURES OF "W".

__________________________________________________________________________

POSSIBLE "W" CHILDHOOD PICTURE.

POSTED BELOW: ANOTHER POSSIBLE ROUGH-TOUGH "COWBOY" PICTURE OF "W".

LOOKS LIKE THE HORSE IS WINNING.

I JUST HEARD ABOUT JONATHAN WINTERS PASSING AWAY - 3 DAYS AFTER HIS PASSING

2013-04-15T12:02:00Z

MY TRIBUTE TO JONATHAN WINTERS IS THREE DAYS LATE.

I JUST LEARNED OF HIS PASSING SUNDAY NIGHT.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

I REALLY ENJOYED JONATHAN WINTERS, SIMPLY BECAUSE HE WAS 100% CHILDLIKE.

BEING PERPETUALLY CHILDLIKE IS MY AMBITION IN LIFE.

I NEVER REALLY LOVED HIS COMEDY, PER SE - I PREFER ROBIN WILLIAMS.
(YEAH, I KNOW THEY ARE VERY SIMILAR, BUT NOT 100% ALIKE)

I DID LOVE HIS ABILITY TO MIMIC, OR IMPERSONATE A "TYPE" OF PERSON.

I JUST DIDN'T CONSIDER HIS MIMIC ABILITY AS BEING PARTICULARLY HILARIOUS.

I GUESS I FELT HE WAS MILDLY HUMOROUS, AND I FELT HE WAS DEFINITELY A GENIUS AT MIMICRY.

A LOT OF PEOPLE CLAIM THAT HE WAS A HILARIOUS COMEDIAN.

I THINK PEOPLE SAY THAT HE WAS HILARIOUS, SIMPLY BECAUSE OTHERS SAY HE WAS HILARIOUS.

PEOPLE USUALLY HATE BEING ON THE OUTSIDE - THEY WANT TO BE A PART OF THE CROWD.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

AS A CONNOISEUR OF ADVERTISING, I DEFINITELY LOVED WINTERS FOR HIS TV COMMERCIALS.

I MET JONATHAN ONCE, AND I HAD A ZERO DESIRE FOR HIM TO SIGN A COMEDY ALBUM.

I HAD HIM SIGN A FULL UNOPENED BOX OF HEFTY BAGS, WHICH HAD HIS PICTURE ON IT.

IN MY MIND, JONATHAN WINTERS IS BEST REMEMBERED FOR HIS GARBAGE BAG ADS.

I AM DEFINITELY IN THE MINORITY.

MOST PEOPLE WOULD LOOK DOWN THEIR NOSE AT HIS HEFTY BAG ADS.

THEY WOULD ALSO LOOK DOWN THEIR NOSES AT MY LOVE OF THE ENTERTAINING ADS.

MY RESPONSE TO THEM:

WATCH OUT, BECAUSE THE "F" BOMB IS COMING.

HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN MAKE AN AD FOR GARBAGE BAGS ENTERTAINING & MEMORABLE?

ONE MAN DID IT, AND I WILL MISS HIM.
_________________________________________________________________________

HERE IS THE FULL BOX OF HEFTY BAGS THAT I HAD HIM SIGN.

I ASKED HIM TO WRITE:

"PUT YOUR STINKY GARBAGE IN HERE"

CLASSIC 1976 JONATHAN WINTERS ADVERTISEMENTS

WELCH'S WINE - DISCONTINUED PRODUCT

2013-04-14T14:12:28Z

BELIEVE IT, OR NOT, WELCH'S USED TO MAKE WINE

THE PRODUCT WAS LIKE THE INFAMOUS MANISCHEWITZ SWEET CONCORD WINE.

__________________________________________________________________________

LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, YOU CAN FIND RECIPES FOR HOMEMADE WELCH'S WINE.

THIS PRODUCT WAS MADE A LONG TIME BEFORE THE INTERNET - THE EARLY 1950's.

__________________________________________________________________________

SAD NEWS:

TO THE CONNOISSEURS OF LESS THAN MEDIOCRE WINE - IT WAS DISCONTINUED,

POSTED BELOW IS AN EARLY 50's TV COMMERCIAL FOR WELCH'S WINE.

I HOPE YOU WILL ENJOY VIEWING THE PIECE OF PURE AMERICANA.

HAVE YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE WHAT ROSEANNE & DAN CONNOR'S HOUSE LOOKS LIKE IN REAL LIFE? HOW ABOUT THE LOBO BAR?

2013-04-04T12:38:00Z

ROSEANNE

AMERICAN SITCOM TV SHOW - PREMIERED OCTOBER 18, 1988

THE TV SHOW TOOK PLACE IN FICTIONAL LANFORD, ILLINOIS.

LANFORD WAS SUPPOSEDLY LOCATED AROUND DEKALB, ILLINOS.

DAN CONNOR READ TWO NEWSPAPERS - ONE FROM DEKALB, AND ALSO THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE.

IT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 65 MILES WEST OF CHICAGO, & I ASSUME A FEW MILES FROM DeKALB.

JACKIE'S (ROSEANNE'S SISTER) TRUCK DRIVING SCHOOL IN ELGIN, ILL - 25 MILIES NORTHEAST.

JACKIE DRIVING TO IOWA TO CHECK OUT LOOSE MEAT SANDWICHES - UNDER 2 HOURS.

____________________________________________________________________________________

IN REALITY, THE HOUSE AND THE LOBO LOUNGE ARE LOCATED IN EVANSVILLE, INDIANA..

SUPPOSEDLY, ONE OF THE PROGRAM'S PRODUCERS WAS FROM EVANSVILLE.

LOOKS LIKE ROSEANNE GOT A NEW CAR (TONGUE IN CHEEK.)

THE INFAMOUS THIRD & DELAWARE STREET SIGN

LOCATION OF MARK HEALY PUTTING HIS FIST THRU THE JUKEBOX - THE LOBO LOUNGE

CANNED OSCAR MAYER HOT DOGS - POPULAR PRIOR TO THE MASSIVE EXPANSION OF REFRIGERATORS IN THE 1950's

2013-03-31T15:28:57Z

YOUNG WHIPPER-SNAPPER 30 SECOND HISTORY LESSON.

ONCE UPON A TIME, SOME 1940's HOUSEHOLDS DIDN'T HAVE REFRIGERATORS.

ICEBOXES WERE USED TO PRESERVE FOOD.

IT WAS AN INSULATED BOX, WHICH HAD BLOCKS OF ICE PUT INSIDE FOR THE COOLING.

THE COOLING CAPACITY OF THE ICEBOX WAS LIMITED.

THE STORAGE CAPACITY WAS ALSO LIMITED.
_________________________________________________________________________

DURING THE POST WW2 YEARS, THERE WAS A BUYING FRENZY FOR REFRIGERATORS.

PEOPLE WERE REPLACING OLD STYLE REFRIGERATORS & ICEBOXES.

_________________________________________________________________________

FARM HOMES SOMETIMES DID NOT HAVE ELECTRICITY, OR IT WAS VERY LIMITED.

SOME COMPANIES MADE GAS REFRIGERATORS TO SOLVE THAT PROBLEM.

APARTMENTS HAD ELECTRICITY, BUT THE HEAVY APPLIANCE WAS A PROBLEM.

IMPROVED TECHNOLOGY HAD ELIMINATED THE MASSIVE WEIGHT PER SQUARE FOOT.

EARLY 50's AMANA REFRIGERATOR EARLY 50's CROSLEY REFRIGERATOR

THE REFRIGERATORS WERE TINY, AS COMPARED TO THE GIANTS, IN THE 2013 KITCHEN

PROCESSED MEAT PRODUCTS IN A CAN WAS A WAY TO SOLVE THE SPACE PROBLEM.

DURING THE 50's, OSCAR MAYER OFFERED SEVERAL TYPES OF "MEAT IN A CAN."

AS A CONNOISSEUR OF ADVERTISING ITEMS - I LOVE THESE CANS.

"WEINERS IN A CAN" WOULD BE A HUGE COLLECTIBLE ITEM - VERY COLORFUL.

I'M A BIG FAN OF DOLLAR TREE STORES - THE TWO BEST NAMED OR, WEIRDEST NAMED PRODUCTS

2013-03-28T13:30:00Z

I LIKE TO BUY ITEMS AT THE DOLLAR TREE STORE - I'M CHEAP.

I BECAME EVEN CHEAPER DURING "THE GEORGE W. BUSH MEMORIAL GREAT RECESSION."

DOLLAR TREE IS FANTASTIC FOR BUYING CHEAP DISHES, GLASSES, AND H & B ITEMS.

I ALSO LIKE TO BUY ITEMS TO BE PROMOTED ON THIS BLOG - WEIRD ITEMS FOR THE BLOG.

__________________________________________________________________________

I HAVE FOUND THE TWO FANTASTICALLY NAMED "WEIRD" ITEMS.

PERFECT NAMES FOR WHAT THEY ARE DESIGNED TO DO - VERY APROPOS.

THEY ALSO HAVE SEMI-NAUGHTY NAMES, WHICH I LOVE.

I'M MENTALLY 6 YEARS OLD, AND LIVING IN A 100 YEAR OLD "OLD FART" BODY.

WELL, A SLIGHT EXAGGERATION.

BUT, IT IS CLOSE TO THOSE NUMBERS.

__________________________________________________________________________

SEE FOR YOURSELF:

BABY'S BUTT AID - A PERFECT NAME FOR THE PRODUCT.

BEING A 6 YEAR OLD, IT ALSO BRINGS A HUGE SMILE TO MY FACE.

GRAPE SCENTED "BOOGIE" WIPES.

WHAT KID DOESN'T LOVE THE NAME BOOGIE?

OR, THE MORE APPROPRIATE NAME - BOOGER.

TALKING ABOUT BOOGERS:

DID YOU SEE THE 5 YEAR BOY PICKING HIS NOSE, ALONGSIDE KATE MIDDLETON?

THE FUTURE-TO-BE QUEEN WAS QUITE AMUSED WITH THE YOUNG BOY.

I'M SURE HER MOTHER-IN-LAW WOULD HAVE HAD THE KID'S HEAD CHOPPED OFF.

AUTOLITE SHOCK ABSORBER AD WITH DICK TRACY COMMITTING ATTEMPTED MURDER?

2013-03-25T12:24:00Z

APPARENTLY, THE INFAMOUS COMIC STRIP DETECTIVE IS A CRIMINAL AT HEART.

TRACY NEEDED TO STOP A TRUCK CONVOY WITH COUNTERFEIT AUTOLITE SHOCKS.

TRACY & SAM INTENTIONALLY COMMIT A FELONY, WHILE TRYING TO SOLVE A CRIME.
(TYPICAL COP MENTALITY - TWO SETS OF LAWS)

IN THIS 1966 COMIC STRIP ADVERTISEMENT, TRACY TELLS SAM TO BLOW UP A TRUCK.

APPARENTLY, DICK TRACY AND SAM HAVE COMMITTED ATTEMPTED MURDER.

SERIOUS AND LONG TERM PHYSICAL, OR PSYCHOLOGICAL HARM - 30 YEARS

__________________________________________________________________________

THE "ALLEGED" SHOCK ABSORBER COUNTERFEITER WAS THROWN 100 FEET AWAY.

HE LANDED IN A TREE, WITH LIFE CHANGING INJURIES.

DUDE, TRACY SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN 50 YEARS IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT.

THE MAIN REASON WHY HARRY REID DIDN'T CHANGE THE FILLIBUSTER RULES - HE DIDN'T GET WHAT HE WANTED FOR X-MAS

2013-03-22T13:50:00Z

SENATE CAST OF CHARACTERS:

HARRY REID - MAJORITY PARTY LEADER (CONSTANTLY BLOCKED BY THE MINORITY)

MITCH McCONNELL - MINORITY PARTY LEADER ("RUG IMPERSONATOR")
(IN MY HUMBLE OPINION)

HINT: WHAT DOES A RUG DO?
__________________________________________________________________________

HARRY REID HAS HAD TO DEAL WITH A CONSTANT STREAM OF GOPee FILIBUSTERS.

THE FILIBUSTER WAS DESIGNED TO GIVE THE MINORITY PARTY A VOICE.

IT IS BAD POLITICS FOR THE MAJORITY TO RUN ALL OVER THE MINORITY PARTY.

IT IS ALSO BAD POLITICS FOR THE MINORITY PARTY TO BLOCK EVERYTHING.
__________________________________________________________________________

THE SENATE GOPeers ARE RIDICULOUS FOR CONSTANTLY USING THE FILIBUSTER.

IN THE OLD DAYS, THE FILIBUSTER WAS DIFFICULT TO BE USED SUCCESSFULLY.

THE OLD FILIBUSTER USED TO REQUIRE TALKING NON-STOP.

IT WAS SO DIFFICULT THAT BOTH PARTIES AGREED TO CHANGE THE RULE.

__________________________________________________________________________

THE NEW RULE SEEMS TO HAVE GIVEN THE MINORITY PARTY TOO MUCH POWER.

IF THE MINORITY PARTY WAS RUN BY A MAN OF "INTEGRITY", THERE WOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM.

IN THE PAST, A LIMITED USE OF THE FILIBUSTER WAS THE RULE - NOT ANYMORE.

ALMOST 100% FILIBUSTER USE IS NOT A SIGN OF INTEGRITY.

ALMOST 100% FILIBUSTER USE IS DEFINITELY A SIGN OF AN A-HOLE POLITICIAN.

__________________________________________________________________________

REID IMPLIED A RULE CHANGE WAS COMING, WITH THE NEW 2013 CONGRESS.

THE RULE MIGHT HAVE GONE BACK TO THE TALKING FILIBUSTER.

WITH REID AS MAJORITY LEADER, IT WAS GOING TO BE A COMPROMISE.

CAN ANYBODY SAY THE WORD W*I*M*P*Y?

HARRY WENT INTO NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE GOPeeeee, AND HE GOT PROMISES.

PROMISES CAME FROM THE MINORITY PARTY LEADER TO "LIMIT" THE USE OF THE FILIBUSTER.

THE SO-CALLED RULES CHANGE WAS A BUST.
__________________________________________________________________________

IN MY HUMBLE OPINION:
THE SENATE MINORITY IS DEFINITELY A "RUG IMPERSONATOR"
(CAN YOU FIGURE OUT WHAT A "RUG IMPERSONATOR" IS?)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

IN MY HUMBLE OPINION:
HARRY REID WAS UNABLE TO CHANGE THE RULES FOR ONE MAIN REASON:

HARRY DIDN'T GET WHAT HE WANTED FOR CHRISTMAS.

SUPPOSEDLY, THIS IS WHAT HARRY WANTED.

IT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT HE DESPERATELY NEEDED.

A SET OF BALLS !!!!!!!

I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT BOWLING BALLS.

REMEMBER THOSE TINY BUILDINGS IN THE PARKING LOT OF YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SHOPPING CENTER - FOTOMAT STORES?

2013-03-16T21:14:00Z

FOTOMAT USED TO BE THE PLACE TO GET YOUR PICTURES DEVELOPED.

THAT WAS BEFORE EVERY DRUGSTORE GOT INTO THE INSTANT PICTURE DEVELOPING BUSINESS.

THAT WAS ALSO BEFORE THE DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITAL CAMERAS.

__________________________________________________________________________

WHATEVER BECAME OF THE TINY BUILDINGS?

MOST WERE TORN DOWN.

THERE WASN'T A BIG NEED FOR 50 S. F. BUILDINGS, BUT SOME DID SURVIVE.

VERY GOOD QUESTION:
WHAT DID THEY DO OUT THERE IN THE PARKING LOT?

PARKING LOT VERSION OF THE "MILE HIGH CLUB?"

FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT, A COUPLE OF PHOTOS OF SURVIVING FOTOMAT BUILDINGS.

VILLA PARK, ILLINOIS - SELLING DISCOUNT CANCER STICKS

DES PLAINES, ILL - SELLING KEYS

I BET MORK, FROM THE PLANET ORK, DIDN'T KNOW THAT MINDY WORKED AT FOTOMAT.

CLICK THE VIDEO, AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.

REMEMBER BACK IN THE GOOD OL'E DAYS WHEN GAS STATIONS USED TO GIVE AWAY, OR SELL ITEMS AT LOW PRICES TO ENTICE YOU?

2013-03-14T12:42:00Z

IN THE GOOD OL'E DAYS, GAS STATIONS ACTUALLY FOUGHT FOR YOUR BUSINESS.

THEY USED TO GIVE AWAY DINNER PLATES AND GLASSES TO GET YOUR REPEAT BUSINESS.

TEXACO ALSO USED TO SELL VERY HIGH QUALITY TOY TRUCKS FOR THE KIDDIES.

OF COURSE, IT WAS ONE BIG ADVERTISING PROGRAM - TEXACO WAS PRINTED ON THE TOY.

THE FUTURE-TO-BE GASOLINE BUYER WOULD HAVE THE TEXACO NAME INGRAINED IN HIS BRAIN.

DID YOU EVER WONDER HOW JOE NAMATH FINANCIALLY SURVIVED AFTER FOOTBALL? HE BECAME A SECRETARY TO A FEMALE BOSS!!!

2013-03-02T23:16:42Z

APPARENTLY, JOE NAMATH HAD TO GET A JOB TYPING LETTERS FOR A FEMALE BOSS.

THE FOOTBALL LEGEND IS SHOWN, IN THE VIDEO POSTED BELOW, TYPING 1 MILLION WORDS A MINUTE.

IN FOOTBALL CIRCLES, JOE IS CONSIDERED A FOOTBALL GOD.

IN THE SECRETARY POOL - JOE IS CONSIDERED "A LIVING GOD" BY THE FEMALE SECRETARIES.

THE WOMEN LOVED HIS TIGHT FITTING SPORT SHIRTS.

NOT TO MENTION, THE PANTY HOSE SECRETS THAT HE SHARED WERE INVALUABLE.

TV SITCOM STAR, DON DEFORE ALMOST CUT HIS FINGER OFF, AND HOW THEY COVERED THE PROBLEM FOR THE TV VIEWING AUDIENCE

2013-02-22T12:45:00Z

TV LAND IS ANOTHER WORLD.

WHEN THE REAL WORLD & THE "TV LAND WORLD" COLLIDE - LIES HAVE TO BE TOLD.

__________________________________________________________________________

THE 1960s TV PROGRAM, HAZEL HAD AN EXCELLENT ENSEMBLE CAST.

SHIRLEY BOOTH WAS AN ACCOMPLISHED SCREEN ACTRESS, PRIOR TO THE ROLE OF HAZEL.

DON DEFORE WAS ALSO A MOVIE VETERAN & WAS A REGULAR ON OZZIE & HARRIET'S TV SHOW.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

During the summer of 1961, Don Defore almost cut his finger completely off. Mr. Defore was an accomplished carpenter, and he made most of the furniture in his Brentwood, California home. A short time after filming began for his new TV series Hazel, a real life accident occurred when he was playing the role of a carpenter in a "real world" activity.

Defore was used to using a 7 inch saw blade, but had supposedly bought a 9 inch blade by accident. The different size of the blade meant that his hand was far too close to the spinning blade. His ring finger was sliced almost 100% through. Excellent surgeons were able to save the finger by utilizing a lot of metal rods.

A few weeks later, in the "TV Land" world, the bandaged hand was explained differently. Since Defore was playing a lawyer, and more than likely, he never would have been close to a saw blade, the writers had to explain the injury in a typical Hazel TV show method. Hazel always had the upper hand over her supposed boss - physically and mentally. The injury was explained by an event where Hazel had powerfully driven a line drive baseball towards Defore's character, and he had tried to catch the ball barehanded.

Watch the 1 minute clip, and find out what happened when the "real world" collided with the "TV Land" world.

7 YEARS LATER, LUCY WOULD BE IN AN I LOVE LUCY EPISODE WHICH WILL MAKE THIS AD QUITE IRONIC

REMEMBER THE EPISODE WHERE LUCY IS VISITING ITALY, AND STOMPS AROUND IN A GRAPE WINE VAT?
