    Now that I think about it, 3-D was probably why, as a kid, I liked the Stereoscope so much more then the View-Master!

    Vintage neon signs

    We had a place like that, called Musick Drug Store. Besides the Pharmacy, they had a soda fountain, records for the teenagers, and for me, the most magical part was the model kit section in the back.

    View-Master

    I did not think about the cartoon angle. When I was a kid, we looked at scenic pictures in the View Master, much like the older Stereoscopic viewers! They were magical, and I had access to both.

    What is this a reference to?

    It's called, "the Chaplin," after Charlie Chaplin. He would do a similar dance with his cane! Your grandfather was just Hamming it up for the camera. I think it is great.

    Why the 1920s-1940s?

    Yes, we have all mentioned the irony of that over the years! Oh well, time to call someone on my cell phone, pop dinner in the microwave, and watch some satellite TV. :eusa_doh:

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    When they ask you to push a number, say, "representative," that will often get you a real live person!

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Finally, dipped into the 50s F this morning, around 12c. Put on the Barbour International for the ride to our club meeting, a bit chilly! After the meeting, I went to work on my house, when I got out, it was to hot for the jacket, so I left it there, will have to take some bungee cords along...

    In keeping with HDs racing theme commercials, how about Miss Budweiser? Front engine Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 and my favorite beer song!

    Great one HD! Amazing how the sound of the engines changed so drastically in just one decade from the 50s to the 60s.
