I have a funny tidbit about Mr. Bubble.
While I was going through chemo, I liked to relax in a bubble bath. Since I was a single mom on a limitied budget, even bubble bath was an extravagnace. So DH (then just BF) got me a bottle of Mr. Bubble, and wrote "From ###, your Mr. Bubble" on the lable. My DS found it in my bathroom and came to me saying "Er, Mom, ### left his bubble bath here." He thought something had been going on under his nose. I just think it was funny.
Grandma had Mr. Bubble in the box, we didn't get to have it at our house.

News Flash. Tonight's the night for the Twillight Zone Marathon on the SciFi channel....244 here in OH. It will also be going all day tomorrow for those of you who don't watch football. They just had the Kick the Can one where the people from the nursing home turned back into children. I have seen some of these over and over and still love them. You are now entering another dimension, a dimension of not only sight and sound, but of mind.....Next stop, The Twilight Zone. As you have probably gathered, no New Year's Eve parties on my agenda this evening.

MaryBe--I had the TZ marathon on most of the day yesterday, getting ready to put it on again this am! I remember some, some are new, all are great fun to watch--even seeing Rod Sterling smoking and waving around a cigar (or is it a cigarette?) Things have changed!

Okay, this shows what's on my mind right now. I read Marybe's intro as "Hot Flash."
We played Wii all evening last night. Wish I had known about the TZ marathon. It would have been a hard decision as to what I would have been doing last night.

I moved to Hawaii when I was 12 and the kids show there was called "Checkers and Pogo".
Marybe-I loved that episode where the elders turned into kids! Another good one starred Babara Bel Geddes (sp?) from Dallas. She murdered her husband and baked him in the oven and served him to the police officers investigating the case. Sick, I know.
I thought of another flashback commercial. "Janitor in a Drum".

How about "The man from Glad"?

"Mr. Clean!" That character practically invented the shaved head look and ear piercing for men, or at least men who were not 17th century pirates already.

Charlie the Tuna, with his New Joisey accent -- "Sorry Charlie, Starkist doesn't want tuna with good taste, Starkist wants tuna that tastes good."

How about Woodsy owl-"Give a hoot, don't pollute". Speaking of owls, who else made those macrame owls that were wall hangings? You would unravel the body part so it would be fluffy. I loved those owls.
And this jingle-"Your very good friend, the heart association, wants to lend a word to the wise, watch your diet, watch your weight, don't smoke and don't forget to exercise.

Speaking of the anti polution campaigns, how about the Iron Eyes Cody Commercials?
0 -
I don't remember that one. (Different area?) I do remember "Please, please, don't be a Litterbug." That campaign in the 60's has stuck with me my entire life.

Cheif Iron Eyes Cody was the indian who stood on the ocean shore and saw trash wash up and then he looked at the camera and there was a tear going down his cheek. It was the Keep America Beautiful campaign

Smokey the Bear: Only YOU can prevent forest fires. I was a member of the Smokey the Bear Club...I had a badge and everything!
0 -
Ah, Ah, susu. His name is Smokey Bear. He has no middle name.
There is a whole new promotion going on here and they stress the name thing. 0 -
Sorry, Smokey! My bad.

There was a song that sang his name-"smokey the bear, smokey the bear...". That is probably why I too thought "the" was his middle name. I don't remember the lines after his name, but the last 2 went something like..."he could stop a fire, before it starts to flame, that's why we call him smokey, and that's how he got his name"
And I remember how sad I felt for the Indian on the horse with the tear. I had no idea who he was.

I rememebr the song as well. Maybe it isn't pc to catagorize someone by what they are. You wouldn't call someone Nancy the Nurse, unless she was starring in a movie. 0

I had click clacks. I think mine were the same color as the ones in the picture. My Grandparents bought them for us at the County Fair. My mom took ours away, something about them being dangerous and illeagal. I wonder.....

Do they even sell Noxzema anymore? I loved it.
How about Noxzema Shaving cream? Let Noxema cream your face, so the razor won't. Want to see Joe Nameth get creamed? Take it off, Take it all off.

Ohhh....remember Joe Namath wearing pantyhose? Something like: If Joe's legs can look this great, imagine how YOURS will look...(can't remember the exact words). Was it Hanes pantyhose?? I LOVED that guy back in the day...sigh.

P.S. Farrah Fawcett was in the shaving cream commercial with Joe!
