We had the first 3 of those shows.
"Look up! Look waaaaaaay up..."

That’s such a small world

You mean you're not supposed to do that?

When I do my belly dancing they look at me like I am nuts, but Blanche has some moves of her own. She was visiting me in the office one day and well….

Say it ain’t so

And there a lot of lassies too.

That would depend on your imagination.
When I was in high school my neighbor was our schools quarterback.
He truly thought he was God's gift to football. We had lots of kids in the neighborhood but his arrogance and demeaning attitude made it so no one enjoyed playing backyard football if he was around.
For a couple of years he played all by his lonesome. Just him and his football. He would play QB throwing the ball straight up in the air then switch to receiver catching the ball. Sometimes he would play a running back breaking tackles. Other times he would be offense stopping a big play or blocking a kick.
I never got into sports and especially football but he made it easy to follow his games because he also played announcer doing constant play by plays.

Wonder where he ended up after school

Mrs Chicken-tender here. When I was in high school we could only wear dresses to school, here in Northern Michigan. Winter was exhilarating to say the least. And the dresses were not short enough to show your undies unless you were doing high kicks

Dresses in Northern Michigan?? That's cruel!

Do you guys remember getting gifts from the gas station? I'm remembering "grog" mugs.

Look what I found on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1207301740/milk-glass-grog-mugs-set-of-6-vintage?ref=share_v4_lx

And gifts inside boxes of laundry detergent? Dish towels, and such...

That's adorable!! If she were wearing a bikini, it'd be stuffed with dollar bills

I remember getting the dish towels with the laundry detergent. They were actually pretty good if I'm remembering right.
