QUOTE (3E8 @ Jan 7, 2010 -> 07:22 PM) RC cola is fantastic and is the perfect compliment to mexican food Not to mention Moon Pies!

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Jan 7, 2010 -> 04:47 PM) I beg your pardon? RC takes a back seat to no cola! People love RC. It should be at every restaurant along with water and beer. Anytime anyone says, "Oh, this pop is so good. What kind is it?" The answer invariably comes back, "RC!." RC! Again and again. Lesser cola? I think not." That's Gold, Jerry. GOLD!

Have you given Jing a shot? Sounds like it will fit the bill. I use it for desktop event recording and haven't captured audio but I know it will let you.

QUOTE (tonyho7476 @ Jan 7, 2010 -> 10:12 AM) ARtie Lange, for those stern fans out there, apparently tried to kill himself last week, and that is why he was in the hospital. Linky Somebody must have made him sit and watch Beer League and he couldn't take it.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jan 7, 2010 -> 02:10 AM) Yeah, I'd be much happier if they had it permanently. I thought this had already started happening, I saw bottles of Pepsi and Mountain throwback at Jewel the other day. Yes, I started seeing throwback Pepsi products here right after Christmas. And here I sit on my New Years diet trying to swear off sugary drinks for a while.

Sonovab****! You mean people were out there watching this without the squiggly line through it?!?

Does anybody remember this ad from the early 1980s? Years later here in Florida I actually ended up going to grad school and becoming good friends with the girl in this ad. It was years after we'd known each other that she mentioned her past life as a childhood actor and dug out the VHS tape compilation. Pretty wild that I'd grown up seeing EVERYTHING she did. She was also the "It's YOU Daddy!" kid on the vintage Bristle Blocks commercial, and she was in in an airline ad where kids were pretending to fly to different destinatios wearing cardboard planes and different states and such. She was also in a pretty bad 1980s teevee rendition of Christmas Carol.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 11:26 PM) My parents and I have a pretty extensive amount of comics featuring toth's DC comic work, along with his short, but very impressive standard comic tenure. I would say i am a fairly big fan of his. Sadly though, comics have been horrible for far too long now, so much so that i don't even try to bother keep up with them. I do not bother with pretty much anything past the bronze age. The asinine prices in the first place are enough to scare me away, and that is not even bothering with all the flaws acquired in the past 25 years. I'm seriously envious of your family's collection! I also largely share your view on what I see as the decline of the medium, not too mention the prohibitive expense. Toth felt pretty much the same way. He died on my birthday a couple of years back and I remember being first alerted to it by an in-memorium title card during Adult Swim on Cartoon Network.

I posted this in the drunk thread the other day when Baconator was talking about rum and Cokes. There is just no comparison between the real cane versions and the corn syrup, and nowhere is that more apparent than in a nice Cuba Libre. I used to be able to get sugar can Coke at the Latino grocers around here, but no luck in recent years. I never knew about the Kosher Coke, so I'll have to be on the lookout for it and stock up if I find it. I'd much rather go the purist route and use Coke over Pepsi in a Cuba Libre, but cane sugar trumps corn syrup no mater what brand it is.

QUOTE (Rooftop Shots @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 10:28 PM) Hey, if we're going to go "The lips route" then we can't forget about the cartoon s"Clutch Cargo" and "Scott McCloud-Space angel" Real Lips talking inserted into a cartoon. Two great blasts from the past for sure! Creepy as it is, I think the "Synchro-Vox" superimposed lips were a stroke of genius as far as cost-cutting production techniques go. Some Clutch cargo and Space Angel trivia: • The guy who voiced "Swampy" in clutch cargo was the guy who played Otis the drunk on the Andy Griffith show. He also was the voice of Owl from the original Disnew Winnie the Pooh films. • The artist who did the static cell art for Space Angel was Alex Toth — a guy that probably only Kyyle would recognize, but a comic book and animation legend. Did many years great late golden age DC comic work into the 1950s, and also was the Hannah Barbara production designer who designed Space Ghost. I miss childhood.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 10:01 PM) Remember the Magikist Lips sign?? Hell Yeah!! :headbang And where's the love for Burt Wyman, "the TV Ford Man"?

Hit a record here with a frigid 27ºF night. Been cold for most of the last two weeks with more to come. And being among the very few times I can actually use my fireplace in Florida, I say Bring It On!

This thread has taken a fun Chicago-centric turn. Here's one. Remember when Shelly Long was the cute-as-a-bug Homemakers Furniture Girl? "It's not low price furniture. It's good furniture at low prices!" Going back a little further, remember when an unknown kid named Gary Coleman was on the Harris Bank comercials? Harris Lion: "Yoouu should have a Harris Banker." Li'l Gary: "You should have a Hubert Doll!" I had one!

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 03:42 PM) How many times is that show brought up when you talk about traveling in the US ? That show really has a following including myself. They supposedly filmed an episode at Vito and Nick's Pizza (84th and Pulaski) that I never saw come on. Did that ever air? Damn I miss their thin crust sausage and mushroom pizza! Edit to Cheer: I just checked their website, and the Vito and Nick's episode is going to air next Monday (January 12th)!!! :headbang

QUOTE (Rooftop Shots @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 01:28 PM) I can't think of ANYBODY who ever saw that commercial, that hearing that annoying kid "Timmy, the newspaper boy" that didn't fantasize about wishing they could take that kid out to the parking lot and start wailing on him. MAN DID THAT KID GET UNDER YOUR NERVES! I'd take Timmy over Harry Schmirler, "Your Singing Ford man" any day. "In the Good Old Summertime. . . " Loved seeing old Timmy get a pie in the face in one of those commercials though.
