                @Seul - well, it's embarrassing at best.

                When I was 13-15 yo, we had a straight edge punk bank called "Four4Non" - a play off "Four for non smoking please" as was custom in the early 2000s to request when being seated at a restaurant. We later became quite far removed from the straight edge mentalities as teenagers do haha.

                When I was 17-19 yo, I hawked my emo songs through my little bro at our high school, mainly making beer money off selling terrible high pitched singing tracks to young girls who thought I looked like the scene kid of their dreams. I called myself "I Am a Cosmetology Student" - a true obscure name that fit the times haha.

                    In fact, I feel like those have to be recently produced gags. They just have to be.

                      Are these dubious ads from the 50s and US-based? @Chris
                      At this time it was ok to duck and hide under the kitchentable if atomic bombs explodes in the garden.

                        I mean, I feel like anything was possible with those old ads — my grandmother told me she started smoking because she saw and ad that said "instead of reaching for that sweet, reach for a Lucky."

                          But yeah, after reading the copy of the low birth weight one, those are pretty obviously latter-day comedy. The big thing that tipped me off was the graphic design and "Nico-Time." Reminds me of BioShock.

                            What a great thread. Cool to learn a bit more about you crazy folks.

                            More olden and less golden:

                            My younger niece, the middle of my sister’s trio, who is applying to colleges now. She shares my middle name and we’ve always had a special bond. Fell asleep on me in this comfortable position.

                            My jawns game wasn’t as strong as my Uncle game

                            Met some tall hippie in the airport and talked Dead

                            Amsterdam  😶

                            Visiting NYC ( 😃 )

                            From way back

                            And now I have my own

                            Think it, be it.

                                  Sorry, yeah, those pregnancy ads are fake. My fault- I was in a hurry and didn't check my sources properly. The doctor one is real, though.

                                  That makes the pregnancy ones less horrifying…

                                      Hehe cheers folks! Another part of getting old has been better ability to grow a beard. I’ve taken full advantage since I’m not doing meetings these days.

                                        Not to continue the smoking issue, when I was in Boot Camp, if you smoked you got a break to smoke, if you didn't, you didn't get a break.
