Remember when...

[mjdonnelly68]

Remember these? Remember how you use to be able to push down two buttons at the same time and get fuzzy pay TV channels (Skinamax mostly)?

Say what you want about cordless remotes, but you never had to hunting through the couch for this brick.

Good times.

"Sikes sounds very similar to a term in our language that means 'excrement cranium'."

... sounds very similar to a term ... 'excrement cranium'."

related to the medical condition Intrarectal Cephalosis ...
or if etiology unknown, Idiopathic Intrarectal Cephalosis (IIC)
also sometimes referred to as Idiotpathic Intrarectal Cephalosis.
An unfortunately common condition I used to administer emergency treatment for when I was a paramedic.

The Nobel Peace Prize actually meant something....

must have been before my time

 

[bleme]

must have been before my time

Yeah, I just skimmed through a list of winners back to 1950 and was surprised to see there have always been jokes mixed in with the truly deserving. It has just become more common in the last decade or 2.

Built one from a kit in 1980-ish.

Cut my chops in BASIC programming on that baby!

Still got it somewhere. Probably a valuable collectible by now!

Speaking of kits, remember the Heathkit catalog, and stores?

In fact our computer club at my highschool raised enough money to buy one of the Hero 1 Robot kits from them. Sadly I graduated and it was only half built.So I never got to see it in action.

 

[Jacob_Marley]

Not as intelligent as HeathKit ... but when you just have to have a donkey that dispenses cigarettes out its butt ... the Johnson Smith Catalog

ahhh, haven't some of us made this before? ...
Johnson Smith “Joke Beer” ...
“LOOKS REAL BUT TASTES AWFUL. Looks like beer, foams like beer, and even tastes a little like beer. Leaves a foul taste in the mouth. Price postpaid: 20cents”

(btw: for those of us that just have to have that donkey - from one of the modern Johnson Smith Company websites ... http://www.lighterside.com/product/smoking+donkey+cigarette+dispenser.do?from=Search&cx=0 )

I need one of those donkey's!

Makes a perfect Christmas gift.

 

[lschiavo]

Makes a perfect Christmas gift.

It sure would. Amazon has them for about $9.

I wonder if it would dispense those long skinny Tootsie rolls? ...for the non-smoker...

Sounds like Kirkland's IPA!

Just Like Dad! Now what's wrong with that. I smoked plenty of candy cigarettes when I was a kid (the wintergreen ones with the red dyed tip were my favorite brand).

I would only load brown m&M's in that thing. It's much more realistic. There has got to be a Tootsie roll dispensor out there somewhere (like an upside down PEZ?)

 

[Revvy]

It's sad that you can't find candy cigarettes anymore. I actually loved the flavor of them. Same with the bubblegum ones.

Everybody had that zipper jacket or something similar

 

[GrogNerd]

who was it said that only in America can a poor black boy like Michael Jackson grow up to be a rich white woman?

 

[Beernik]

Zipper shirts, I confess that I had two.

Wore them with my Members Only jacket.

I know! They were good and only a nickel a pack. The bubblegum ones I remember were wrapped in paper with some kind of powder inside so you could blow out a puff. Then there were the bubblegum cigars...best bubblegum ever!

yeah that was the thing, the gum in both of them were the best.

 

[lschiavo]

Still available but probably not the same
