Maybe it's just me, but..
When The Brady Bunch ended, so abruptly (rudely, actually, if I may be so bold to say), I was devastated. Not long after that, Florence Henderson started to do the Wesson Oil campaign. I always felt it would've been great to include Ann. B. Davis, in some capacity, on the TV commercials. They would've been much better.

The Killer Bees:
In 1976, scientists told us that swarms of killer bees were migrating towards the border of Mexico and Texas, and if they crossed the border successfully into Texas, the human race basically had 10 more years to exist before the bees wiped us out. The above was the response from Saturday Night Live.

L'eggs:
Mom used to get these. I don't think they sell them anymore. She used to give me the eggs to play with, but really how many things can you do with a plastic egg.. I remember an episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Rhoda was having a bad day, then she said "... and to top it all off, I bought a pair of pantyhose and the egg was empty"...

Roosevelt Franklin:
Jm_kaye got me thinking about Roosevelt Franklin from Sesame Street. Until I did an image search, I had no idea about the above record..
Happy 40th birthday, Sesame Street!
My earliest years were formed by this show. No exaggeration. I could read before I started school because of Sesame Street (this show was actually an early form of pre-school). I can't imagine a childhood without Sesame Street. This, to me, was one of the most ground-breaking, innovative shows ever produced. No other children's television show has had the longevity that Sesame Street boasts. I'd forgotten about the old CTW logo at the top, which they used the first three years of the show. I'm sure there were other things about the earlier format of the show I've long since forgotten.I hope this show never dies, and to all of its creators, contributors, writers, and actors, I would like to say thank you for making the world a better place.

Random fact:

Taking a leave of absence here for awhile. I'm spending way too much time in the blogosphere, and I need a break. I really need to re-assess my priorities, and not spend so much time on the computer as I have been. I know I've said this before and came back the next day, but I think it's different this time. Problem is I've been in cyberspace for so long, I've sort of lost touch with reality and the rest of the world. Too much of a good thing, I'm afraid. I do, however, have a couple of posts that I did awhile back that are scheduled to automatically show in the next few weeks. I'll miss you all, you're what made this whole thing worthwhile.Joe

Unexpected find:
I found the above ad when I did a search for "makeout vans"... (hey I'm running out of ideas here). I'm not sure as to the date of the ad, but I'm guessing somewhere between '68 and '72. I love the artwork in this one, it's like some glorious acid trip (um, I've never done acid, btw. For the record)....Click pic for larger image.
