Please Dont Squeeze the Charmin
If Mr. Whipple were alive today, I have a feeling he’d be That Man—you know, the creepy guy on the company’s Human Resources watch list. He was just a little too interested in squeezing the Charmin.

Heres to Good Friends, Tonight is Kinda Special
So special that we’re going to order an unchewable skirt steak and this cheap American-made beer masquerading under the German name of Lowenbrau. Sweet!

“I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan. And never, never, never let you forget you’re a man. ‘Cause I'm a WOMAN!” I think that about sums it up. Two snaps and a neck twitch with attitude for the forward-thinking women of Enjoli. You go, ladies.

I have fond memories of the '70s ... I'd forgotten how much I really dug Freshen-up gum. Hell, I still say "Cool" way too much. It was my Primetime ... I still thought I was invincible and could accomplish any task and mission laid before me.

Don't forget: "More Park's sausages, Mommm. Please." (Park's frozen sausages) "Now that's a spicy meatball." (Don't remember) "Ruinite on ice...That's niiice." Ruinite wine "...Without the lumps." Heinz brown gravy (I think) Keep America Beautiful (Iron Eyes Cody [crying]) "I can't believe I ate the whooole thing." Alka Seltzer (Also, I think) Just a few that always stuck in my head...to this day.
It feels good to write.
