???
The "easy labor, slim baby" line is just mind blowing.
Oh my fucking GOD! I don't know whether to laugh or cry…

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.
:o -
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

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…

@mclaincausey lookin' seriously Viggo Mortensen now! Hell yeah — Aragorn is a good look
-
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.
-
I will say — I met so many good friends on smoke breaks.
-
I think this was taken in summer of 1997 when myself and some university friends were up in northern Ontario gathering caribou data for a PhD student. Not a care in the world, in the middle of nowhere with a topographical map and a compass. Probably wondering where my next beer was gonna come from. -
An old Kindy pic and fishing in Kamchatca

Turns out I was a hipster before being a hipster was a thing, which is very hipster

Great shot. Where was this taken?
