 RY>>>>>>>>> As much fun as being strapped to an
Evinrude..
 LB>>>>>>>> pssssttttt, Ray, what's an Evinrude?  :-/
 RY>>>>>>> {in the old Timex commercials,
John Cameron Swayze
 RY>>>>>>> strapped a Timex  to the
propeller of an Evinrude
 RY>>>>>>> Outboard Motor. Put the motor in a drum of
water, and turnd
 RY>>>>>>> it on. Stopped the motor, removed it from
the water, and
 RY>>>>>>> showd that the watch was still working
properly and intoned
 RY>>>>>>> "take a licking and keeps on
ticking"...  Classic commercial
 RY>>>>>>> around '62 or so..
 LB>>>>>> Thanks Ray!
 RY>>>>> For you younger folks this predates the Bic Pen
fired into the
 RY>>>>> wood plank and it still writes, or the Master Padlock they
 RY>>>>> shot with the rifle..
 LB>>>> Selective memory is fasinating...I remember the Bic but not the
 LB>>>> Padlock...but I do remember the Energizer Bunny!
 RY>>> Bic was Circa 1965-66 or so.. Master Padlock was about '68...

 RY> Would you do now what you did then, or not do now what you didn't do
 RY> then? Or would it make a hill of beans difference ?

Some things I'd do the same, but other things I'd surely not repeat!

 RY> Oldest commercial I can actively remember was for Nestles, on Captain
 RY> Midnight, featuring Farfel, in Black & White.. somewheres around
 RY> 1955-ish, I guess..

I remember the old "Ovaltine", "Brillcream",
"Ipana Toothpaste commercials.
Probably even more, but I don't remember what...
