How did America let this man become an icon of the working class?
I'm going to add to the pile of disagreement: You can, and many people do. That, and they only know theory. Theres no practical education in there, and while theory is important, practicality is much more so. If you're me: Yes. I never liked it, I was never good at it, I chose to get by...- C-dot

coffee soup
Oh god. Reminds me of my grandfather, only he did it with tomato soup. He especially liked the 3-cracker packages, because he could pound them with his fist and dump the resulting dust into the soup. Even with alcohol, it don't entice me (thanks, dad.) I think coffee soup is, shall we say...- C-dot

How did America let this man become an icon of the working class?
You take a break and everything happens! You're right, of course. My brain is cotton candy. Though, East Coasters are commonly portrayed the same way (Only Newfs are made fun of a bit more ;)) Agreed. It's always easier to blame "the System" or "the Man." I'm not saying its never to...- C-dot

How did America let this man become an icon of the working class?
I wouldn't go that far, but I agree that entertainment has been considerably dumbed-down in recent years. I can no longer watch breakfast television... It's too banal.- C-dot

coffee soup
Oh, god. A favourite of my father's is corn flakes with coffee poured over them. At the same time, he will dip his buttered toast into an accompanying cup of coffee, leaving little butter globs and toast crumbs in it. To make matters worse, he enjoys this meal standing up. My mother...- C-dot

Curler help needed!
This is how it should be - It's so much easier than setting it every night, and you really don't need to. I can make mine last 3-4 days also (a traditional wet set, not a hurried hot roller set the morning before I go out because I was up too late to do it the night before*). The gross... -

How did America let this man become an icon of the working class?
If I were to associate the working class with my geographical location, I would say it was similar to what you described (granted, we're not far from each other.) I'm not American, but I've seen the vast differences in culture from one state to the next, and would plant Larry the Cable Guy...- C-dot

How did America let this man become an icon of the working class?
It could be just me, but what definition of modern-day working class are we using here? I can honestly say I never associated Larry, King of the Hill, Homer Simpson, or any cartoon/fictional comedy character with the "working class." Comedy commonly uses stereotypes to quickly define a...- C-dot

Funny, odd, or the most absurd ads you have ever seen....
No no, that one is different. I don't know if you could see the title, but its called "Slightly Sinister Children of the Golden Era" :) The only other one I found was this one, which is just non-specific "vintage advertisements." I'm enjoying these anti-suffrage ads. Of course, none of...- C-dot

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess it was someone who knows you that made this determination? You're not a snob, she/he is a small green-eyed monster!- C-dot

Funny, odd, or the most absurd ads you have ever seen....
Reminds me of this thread lol A lot of the funniest ones have to do with women, I find. This is one of my favourites: Venereal disease ads are always good, because there's only one way to get them: And a dose of Cold War propaganda for good measure:- C-dot

I never thought of Larry as an icon of the working class - He's just funny! The whole hillbilly thing is obviously an act, and the funniest one of the Blue Collar Comedy group lol- C-dot

A Hobo Wedding
Well put! Regretsy has blown the proverbial whistle on some Etsy cons, granted, but anyone can see the original purpose of the site. The vast majority of its updates are attacking people maliciously for spelling errors, quality of goods, or taste. The contributors spend quite a bit of time at...- C-dot

Pale or Tan?

A Hobo Wedding
I just read through the post, the regretsy bashing, and this entire thread, and I'm not sure what to think! I do think the wedding itself was unique, and as such, will provide a wonderful memory for the couple and their guests (which is what a wedding really should be about). The 15k...- C-dot
