    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.

                      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.

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

                                      I'm thinking Knowle Park, in Midlands - we had a hill (not large) in the park, unfortunately, there was a duck pond at the bottom of the slope, many an accident was had  🙂 Of course that was n the days way before health and safety would have deemed it some sort of existential threat and closed the whole park down in the winter just in case.
