Vintage shots from days gone by!

And we thought Pearl Harbor was a dastardly deed???

 

Hi Jimi,
I agree with what you say and I am far from political.
I just wanted to bring this to the attention here that over ten thousand web sites shut down today to protest this bill. (including several I visit)

Many of these websites are the the source of HAMB.

(including several I visit)





Thanks to action by a broad and bipartisan coalition of Internet users, companies, and organizations, the U.S. House of Representatives has now put the brakes on SOPA, a well-intentioned but deeply flawed bill that would use Internet censorship to combat overseas copyright infringement. Even President Obama's White House has joined the opposition.

But nevertheless, the Senate is continuing to move forward — and fast — with its equally dangerous version of the bill, called PIPA, the Protect-IP Act. As written, PIPA would import censorship and surveillance techniques pioneered by countries like China and Iran, reversing longstanding U.S. policy on Internet freedom, betraying U.S. First Amendment values, damaging our standing around the world, threatening our job-creating innovators, and undermining Internet security for everyone.

Today is a day for action across the Internet. Learn about these destructive bills.

 

I appreciate your concern and enthusiasm. But let's just take this to PMs, if ya wanna go on with this, bro.

 

I wonder if the spirits bottle lying under the truck contributed to this accident!!!

 

No more to say on this subject, we are open for history..

 

Is this the same Bob's Big Boy that is in Downey ??????? scrubba

 

1951 print ad for Kool-Aid. Jeesh,

  Funny, in a sense, how advertising can change in two decades
  and by target audience. This Kool-Aid ad is from Ebony in 1973.

 

Wow. Look at all those jobs.

 

Kool-Aid ad strategy had progressed by the early '80s. Healthy as heck!
Cheap compared to soda pop. Rich flavor. But they were still soft-
pedaling the sugar, as were all the soda companies. SO, what else?
MAD magazine saw a target and satirized them, of course.

 

The Valiant-based Barracuda created something of a stir when it came out.
Valiant-based? Wow. V-8. Cool. Under $2,500? Better! I miss those days.

(BTW, that rear window was the largest piece of curved safety glass made,
up to that time, in square inches terms.)
