Post by: Jrand74 on August 24, 2013, 04:45:49 AM: When I was little I would see
Many products on TeeVee.

I did not get to buy them much
Money being tight and such.

My favorites though were good and many
E'en though I got not any.

Still I would watch and sometimes pray
That there would come the happy day

When I would get what I would see
Appearing then on my TeeVee.

DR singdaw, I must have missed something, but what is this "moving" and"midwest" situation?

I have no plans for today or Sunday and I am very happy about that. I will watch a few DVDs, and try to move about as little as possible. On Monday, I must go back down to Toyland for various and sundry jobs, but I hope I can get about without too much pain.\

When I was growing up it was

Super Sugar Crisp and now it's Golden Crisp

EXACTLY!

All of those, and I think some Raisin Bran (Post? Kellogg? maybe either?). But let's face it, those sugary ones were the greatest.

It's too bad about the name changes. Just last year I tried looking for Sugar Crisp and was confounded by the lack of it in stores. I actually had to use the internet to figure out what was what. But all four of those. Shocking! And there's probably not one iota of real difference in the ingredients.

I remember sending away to Kellogg's for prizes or whatnot, and always wondered what someone at Kellogg's thought of ME for winning whatever it was.

Were they the ones in Battle Creek, Michigan? And wasn't at least one of those cereals shot from cannons? My li'l kid brain liked to envision all the cannons that must be sitting around a town of that wonderful name from, who knows, the Revolutionary War or something, taken over by Kellogg's for the production of their wonderful cereal.
Title: Re: BUT FIRST A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR
Post by: Michael on August 24, 2013, 05:18:01 AM: When I was growing up I could do the voices for the commercials for the cereals

Count Chocula (Vampire)
Franken berry (Frankenstein's monster)
Booberry (Ghost)

and they are still around

not knowing they were variations on Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff & Peter Lorre

and two less successful cereals with Werewolf and Mummy (fruity tastes)
which are no longer around.
Title: Re: BUT FIRST A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR
Post by: ChasSmith on August 24, 2013, 05:22:12 AM: My dad would sometimes bring home the "healthier" cereals that weren't nearly so much fun to eat, like Shredded Wheat. And we ate many others, such as regular Corn Flakes and Bran Flakes and Rice Krispies and Corn Chex and Wheat Chex and really, I'd have to do some searching to remember them all. But even though we'd have the occasional eggs or pancakes (probably mostly on weekends) and the occasional hot oatmeal, we were generally a cold cereal breakfast family and must have literally had them all.
Title: Re: BUT FIRST A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR
Post by: ChasSmith on August 24, 2013, 05:25:16 AM: It's really funny about all the "now"-correct name changes, because one look at the cereal aisle in the supermarkets tells you that all of these things continue to sell like hotcakes even in the new millennium, regardless of whether today's ~~mothers~~ "Moms" see the word sugar or not.
Title: Re: BUT FIRST A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR
Post by: Michael on August 24, 2013, 05:25:29 AM: And then there was Cap'n Crunch and its many spinoffs with their own mascots

Smedley the Elephant
Harry the Hippopotamus
Jean LaFoote
Chockle the Blob

and many special editions and versions that didn't succeed

Post by: ChasSmith on August 24, 2013, 05:28:09 AM: Anyhoo, the TOD is about advertising and products. I wish I could remember what some of those hot ones were for me, but right now I'm blank. I'm sure some will come to mind later.

Title: Re: BUT FIRST A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR
Post by: ChasSmith on August 24, 2013, 05:31:26 AM: But DR Mike keeps me going, damn him. When I do browse the cereal aisle, I feel glad that I got out of the house and out of regular cereal eating prior to the veritable explosion (not just an explosion; a veritable explosion) of so many of those character names and flavor combinations. They actually make me a little sick looking at them and imagining the flavors and the cloying icky kid-appealing sweetness. ewwww!!

Sadly, the headliner of that concert was Ted Nugent, and, well, we all know how much of a horrifying mess that's turned into.

Post by: Jennifer on August 24, 2013, 07:16:53 AM: DR TCB, I tried to find some "white noise" on youtube so that you could hear what it sounds like. But truthfully I don't find that any of the videos with white noise are that close.

Just picture a big fan. It sort of makes that kind of noise, but not exactly. It just basically blocks out most sounds and is very soothing to sleep to. I also love it for reading. It blocks out noises from other rooms (tv) or outside. I've been sleeping a lot better since I got this machine. I absolutely love it.

Post by: Ginny on August 24, 2013, 08:19:33 AM: TOD - Some of my most memorable commercials were for Faygo (http://www.faygo.com/Display.aspx?id=22), a Detroit product.

Special faves are The Faygo Kid and UpTown, both from 1950, and Faygo Remembers, 1970.

Several phrases from the 1950 spots were a regular part of my Dad's lexicon:

"Which way did he go, which way did he go?"
"Blow, or Go"
"I'm too pooped to participate."

Post by: elmore3003 on August 24, 2013, 08:19:45 AM: My trip to the pharmacy went well. I waited forever for a return bus, an M11, which was driven by a total ass; he sped past me before he stopped the bus, so I had a nice walk to board it, and, since he hadn't stopped at the curb, which makes the step up not so high, I had a major and rather painful climb to board. When he got to my stop, he slammed on the brakes and I nearly lost my balance and fell. I guess he figured the faster he made his route the sooner he could go home. I hope he dies on the way. New York life is unpleasant enough without having problems with the employees your taxes are paying to be helpful.

I'm sorry. I just think the subject matter is inappropriate for a musical...or a time travel story.

It's like doing a musical about 9/11 or the Fort Hood massacre.

Maybe it just needs more distance, time-wise.

Well my mean neighbor David told me in first grade when we were washing out the paint brushes in class, so after that I had my doubts. I pretty much knew already, but was hoping I was wrong. I'm thinking I got Crissy in second grade. The kicker for me was that my grandparents didn't have a fireplace and no one had ever explained to me how Santa got in when there wasn't a chimney

My niece told me that when she realized that there was no Santa (I don't know if one of her friends told her, but I don't think any family member told her), she was mad! We all lied to her! She said that she was upset for quite a while after that.

There was an Anne Frank musical about someone time-traveling back to try to save Anne Frank.

here's the link

http://www.playbill.com/news/article/77360-Saving-Anne-Musical-About-Time-Travel-and-Anne-Frank-Gets-US-Premiere-in-MI (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/77360-Saving-Anne-Musical-About-Time-Travel-and-Anne-Frank-Gets-US-Premiere-in-MI)

I'm sorry. I just think the subject matter is inappropriate for a musical...or a time travel story.

It's like doing a musical about 9/11 or the Fort Hood massacre.

Maybe it just needs more distance, time-wise.

Druxy, I have the cast recording to Yours, Anne (http://castalbums.org/recordings/Yours-Anne-1985-Original-Off-Broadway-Cast/2219) and it's a small, intimate and respectful show. I think the recording is quite good (I've never seen the show, itself). It has since been reworked into a song cycle, now called I Am Anne Frank (http://castalbums.org/recordings/I-Am-Anne-Frank-1996-Studio-Cast/1037). That might be more to your liking. It's basically the same score, but not an actual "musical." Now, it's just excerpts of Anne's diary set to the same music of the show and almost all of the other characters have been cut. I also like this other recording.

She also gave me a pen and a key chain with CANADA written on them and some chocolate-maple cookies! I haven't opened those, yet, but I will soon. She also paid me back for her part of our dad's birthday computer, so that was nice. Anyway, I want to get something to eat and then I'm going home.

It is called the Loose Wheel, so in the tradition of BK. I call it The Flat Tire.
I had the Holy Guacamole Burger. I have had it before, but yesterday is was just too damn spicy. I almost gagged on the first bite, but I trudged forward and ate the whole damn thing, as well as the tater tots.

DR TCB, I tried to find some "white noise" on youtube so that you could hear what it sounds like. But truthfully I don't find that any of the videos with white noise are that close.

Just picture a big fan. It sort of makes that kind of noise, but not exactly. It just basically blocks out most sounds and is very soothing to sleep to. I also love it for reading. It blocks out noises from other rooms (tv) or outside. I've been sleeping a lot better since I got this machine. I absolutely love it.

Thanks Jennifer.

What does it say about me that my eye went NOT to the guy, NOR to the food he's holding, but DIRECTLY to the fired orange le creuset on the shelf in the background?

Sounds like a personal problem.

;)

I have that orange Le Creuset!

Sounds to me like there are a lot of DR's who need to go crazy and buy themselves a box of 64 colors!

now they have boxes of 96!!!!

96??? Seriously? Ok, I have to confess I actually did buy a box of 64 when I thought I was going to do colors in my waiting room. Until Edith convinced me that the walls, the furniture and everything would end up being colored. Now we have puzzles in the waiting room for kids

I keep a box of 64 in my desk drawer for when people bring their kids to closings without thinking to bring anything for them to do ( for 1 -2 hours!!)

Mom banned this outright ---- oh how we all longed to find one of these little eggs in our stocking but ti never happened - once when I saved up all my pennies and nickles from returning coke bottles I bought my own --- which mysteriously disappeared while I was sleeping

I had Silly Putty, but I never really knew why.

You could spread it out flat and press it on newsprint and it would show on the silly putty. That's all I knew to do with it
