No. That jingle is still going on so it's not something from your youth. You and PLF are not understanding the poll question. Anarchy is about to commence.

You have to say something like "GE, we bring good things to life!" or "you're soaking in it!" or for str8 and me "Blue smiles along with you" or something like that.

Gee, your hair smells terrific!

was that the beer one? I remember trying the beer one as a small child and being horribly disappointed when it tasted like soap. set me up for a solid lifetime of abusing substances, however, so that's good.

Speaking of impulses ..

So I was at this club full of gorgeous people (a rarity in this town) and this stunning woman rubbed up against me and gave me a big smile, and we got to talking, and she started to say "I saw you from across the room, and ... " and then a dumbass friend of a friend interrupted the conversation to finish a thought he had lost track of earlier, which thought was so worthless it really should have stayed lost.

What kind of man with an ounce of testosterone flowing through his veins would interrupt that kind of conversation? A stupid, stupid, stupid one.

That was a classic disappointment.

For the poll:

"and they tell two friends, and they tell two friends"

"r-o-l-a-i-d-s"

"hey, kool-aid! oh, yeah"

Do you ever get that not-so-fresh feeling?

(Yep, that's a COTD.)

My sister and I were discussing this over the weekend. Both of us tried dip early in life, because the grown ups liked it so much. We figured it was some sort of chewing gum. What a horrific way to find out what dip was...

Did anyone else burn rings on their finger trying to figure out how a car cigarette lighter worked?

That Gilette jingle has been around for more than 15 years, IIRC.

My teacher told me I should never . . . tell a lie!
Because a lie will bring you . . . trouble . . . by and by!
It's an awful thing to do
And it's true as true is true ---
You'll feel bad and then you'll start to cry!

You'll feel a painful, awful pounding in your head.
And your face will get all hot and turn bright red!
Your heart will start to thump ---
In your throat you'll get a lump ---
And you'll feel so bad you'll wish that you could lie right down and die!

{big finish}

Just remember . . . never never tell a lie
(An even small one!)
Just remember . . . never never . . . tell a LIIIIIIIIIIE!

This was not the only time the Mormon Church totally lied to me, but it had a good beat and you could dance to it.

I brought friends back from DC to Detroit once and we went to Windsor. So I was telling them about all the great different beer and how much fun it'll be to try it. We go to lunch at a Chinese restaurant and ask the waitress what all Canadian beers they have:

Bradors, Molson, Moosehead, BREW

Wait "BREW." I never heard of BREW. Must be new, I'll have a BREW.

But it turns out it was "Blue." You know the old Asian r/l thing. That still stuck in my head.

No. Not on my finger.

One for our friends from the North -- "What do you think's IN the burgers???" Any other Americans know this?

The words to pretty much every Schoolhouse Rock ever made, Time for Timer and the theme songs to WKRP in Cincinnati, BJ and the Bear, Welcome Back Kotter and numerous other TV shows...

C is for Cookie
That's good enough for me
C is for Cookie
That's good enough for me
C is for Cookie
That's good enough for me, oh
Cookie Cookie Cookie starts with C...

Cookie was the man. Always looked a little crazy with those spinning eyeballs... Don't fuck with Cookie.

Sex sells, bay-bee. All my men wear English Leather. Or they wear nothing at all. And, should a gentleman offer a Tiparello to a lady? Only if nothing comes between her and her Calvins. Nothing.

Al Quaeda's new secret weapon.

The look of terror on these victims of the new weapon should give everyone pause.

ETA: I wonder if Jim McGreavey got hit with this?!?
