Remember These???

[DanaTA]

I remember an episode of Cops, they were chasing a guy who wore pants like this. They caused him to trip and fall and they caught him pretty quick!

Time to play, guess that song! Here's the group! No, that's not Bruno Mars. Those are the Isley Brothers.

Now, guess that song!

P.S. That's an actual painting with the same actual name as the song.

 

[eclark1894]

Round two! here's the band. Paper Lace!

Now name that song!

 

[Miss B]

Well, I'm not sure, as I've never been in Chicago, other than at the airport changing planes, so don't recognize that photo, but the only #1 hit they had in America was The Night Chicago Died.

Right. I loved that song when I first heard it.

Remember electronic calculators before you could fit them in your pocket?

 

[eclark1894]

To this day, I have no idea how to use an abacus. I know what it is, just not how it works.

 

[eclark1894]

Same thing with a slide rule. It might as well be written in Chinese. For all I know it may be.

 

[eclark1894]

Remember these??? I think I remember this particular commercial. I remember they used to run them on ABC's Wide World of Sports, usually on a Saturday. I bought my first watch when I was about 16 or 17. I bought it for ten bucks at a drug store in the same shopping center I was working in. It was a timex.

 

[eclark1894]

Speaking of ABC's Wide World of Sports...

 

[eclark1894]

I saw this on YouTube and I lost ten pounds laughing. Thought I'd share it with you. The title of the video is self-explanatory,

Remember them??? No, that's not Sarah, from the Andy Griffith Show.

The first job my wife had was a long distance operator for Southern Bell; changed to Bell South somewhere along the breakup of AT&T. (Though Bell South is still part of AT&T somehow.)

 

[Miss B]

I always thought they were all still part of AT&T, though it may be in name only, as that was the one everyone knew it by no matter where in the country you lived.

 

[DanaTA]

Yeah, these "breakups" are questionable to me. Verizon was supposedly broken up. But now Verizon, Fios, and Verizon Wireless seem to be back together. They must have found a way to get around it. Or maybe the previous guy (in the White House) overturned the law.

I thought Fios was part of Verizon, not a separate entity, but then I could be mistaken.

Yup. They still exist and we have 2 in the office at the store.

 

[Terre]

I never learned how to use either an abacus or a slide rule. My mother did use the latter but has long since forgotten how.

 

[DanaTA]

I thought Fios was part of Verizon, not a separate entity, but then I could be mistaken.

Yeah, I guess. But the wireless company was supposed to be separated from the landline business. In any case, they talk like they're separate, until they want to get you to sign up for one of them...then they offer a deal. I won't ever use Verizon Wireless again! No matter what deal they offer from Fios!

I use cable myself.

 

[DanaTA]

I use cable myself.

Well, I have Fios...TV, Phone and Internet all bundled. But I refuse to go back to Verizon Wireless, even if there is an alleged discount involved.
