Those Were the Days

It hurts a little bit to look at these - because I had the whole Matchbox collectors suitcase of them (differentiated from the inferior Hot Wheels which had a radial tire style carrying case) all of which I sold at a garage sale. ERGH. Like everything else I loved as a kid, it's all gone - Death Star playset - Star Wars figures, cowboys and indians, do-nothing machine..). That's why I have so many toys today. Nonetheless it's nice to see 'em again.

Theme Restaurant Redux

Some are gone - some still exist - I remember Arthur Treacher's, Sambo's and MAYbe Golden Skillet - I'm not sure. There was something called Golden Bear around here too. Zantigo's and Rocky Rococo's should be on here as well - although there's still one of each open in the Twin Cities (which I have yet to visit..)

My favorite I am familiar with:

78 MY OBESSIVE (SIC) COMPULSIVE HABITS
Did I really lock my doors? I forgot to tell myself that I locked each door out loud so I will remember that I actually did it. Or maybe the memory of locking that door is just a dream and I really did not do it. Why am I wasting time writing this while my iron is burning my house down?

Top 50 Music Videos of 2005

If you refuse to pay for TV like me (thus saving $500 - $1000 per year) you may not have seen some of these videos. Beck's still makes me double-take - has technology actually progressed this far? Are robot backup dancers at concerts far behind?

Classic TV Commercials

Including Mr.Bubble, Mr.Whipple, Mariette Hartley and James Garner bitching at each other for the Polaroid OneTouch camera, and Duz soap - the dishwasher soap with a drinking glass in every box.
