You don't remember these? They were pre-rolodex, but there was overlap

Nooooooooo! Before. Rolodex was a "brilliant" upgrade of that original. Funny thing is, it used to piss off "Evil Grandma who hated Detroitgator over his siblings" when I would slide that selector on hers up and down and then push the button at the bottom to make is snap open (and it would REALLY pop open)... that pissed her off almost as much as cycling the "flip clock" posted earlier 1000 times... f grandma!

Remember the Seinfeld episode where Kramer and Newman were going to make a killing gathering bottles/cans in NY and sell them in MI for the extra nickel?
Good stuff.

On that note: remember flinging bottles and other **** out of your windows? Can't get away with that like you used to. Kids these days have no aptitude, attitude nor ability to litter!

You are heartless if this Indian commercial from the 70’s didn’t have an impact on you.

Pretty sure he/she/they is/are NATIVE AMERICAN! Shame on you for cultural misappropriation and possible misgendering the one who flows the fake tear. I believe it's name is whinahontas!You are heartless if this Indian commercial from the 70’s didn’t have an impact on you.

Iron Eyes Cody, the "Indian" from that commercial was Italian-American. He just portrayed the part of an Indian.
Anyone feel lied too?

Schit, he was about 1000x more "believable" as an Indian than any of the white actors in 1950's Westerns, and about 10000x more believable than any of those FSU fuktards that have dressed up as Chief Doucheola over the years.

Hey, who are we to tell him how to identify?

Staying on the “kids these days”, how about the one episode—exactly one—where Screech was Italian. And of course, he made spaghetti sauce from his grandmother’s secret recipe, which Zach of course exploited by selling to HS classmates whose lives suddenly centered around marinara and who frantically chased him down the hall to purchase it. If you recall, the commercial they shot featured Screech dressed up as an Italian man(mustache, it’s really all you need), and ending his words “a” for authenticity. Outside of not mentioning something about a potential connection to organized crime, I’m not sure there wasn’t a stereotype they didn’t touch on. And then the following week, he went back to being just regular, quite obviously Jewish-American Screech. Fun.

K-Tel Records - The Spotify of the 70s As seen on TV!
Such great classic songs that could never be made today:
A-hab the A-Rab (sheik of the burning sands)
Little Eeefin Annie
My Boomerang Won't Come Back
Shaving Cream
and many others lost to time and memory
And yes, in a cabinet somewhere in my house, I have this album...

Albert? I had no idea he had a side job. I always thought this was his full time gig.

I talk about the Abbot & Costello movies about 3 times a year. In Detroit, the ABC affiliate showed one every Sunday morning and I liked them.
