Sunday morning miscellany

[lizziebelle]

It looks innocent enough out there this morning, all sunny and bright, but overnight it's going to be a different story. I sure am glad that I have nowhere special to be tonight! It looks like I'll be spending tomorrow morning digging out. *sigh*

I love The Pioneer Woman (thank you to whoever turned me on to her, BTW), and today she has a link to some hysterical 70s & 80s photos from Olan Mills. From someone who grew up in the 70s, all I can do is shudder looking at the leisure suits and haircuts, not to mention the mustaches. The commentary is priceless.

Some notes to the advertising industry:

1. 'Genuine' does not rhyme with 'wine'
2. I will never, I repeat never, buy anything from Billy Mays. I cannot hit the mute button fast enough.
3. Polar bears live at the north pole. Penguins live at the south pole. A polar bear would eat a penguin if it came across one, whether or not the penguin offered it a Coke.

And with that, I'm off to rustle up some breakfast. Have a lovely Sunday!

Yipes, those 70s and 80s photos are exquisitely awful! I just sent the link to Ashni since that's her line of work now ;-)

I just tried to follow the link and it came up cannot find. Bummer!

I had the same problem at first by using the "70s and 80s photos" link above, but then I was able to get it by going to the Pioneer Woman site and clicking on her title I'm Haunted by the Eighties.

Which link? If it's the photos, you can go to the Pioneer Woman site and she has a link there.

Oops, I did miss a quotation mark. It's fixed now. :)

BRW, I see why the "70s and 80s photos" link above won't work... there is a stray quotation mark at the end of it, even though you can't see it here on this page. It shows up if you mouse over it.

Whoops, I missed the quotes at the beginning of the link. All fixed now. :)
