Aren't you glade you use dial, don't you wish everybody did.
If it's Gibbons it's good so the next time you should say "Give me, give me, give me Gibbons."
The Gibbons brewery quartet singing Silver Bells on channel 16 has forever been engrained in my brain as one of the ten warning signs of Christmas.

I understand Tom McAndrew is partering with Fairgambit Enterprises and will be offering rectal dialtors to his disgruntled fan-members for the upcomming football season.
Send Tom or Fair your shipping address and size of dialtors you'll need. Satisfaction guaranteed or ...you can shove it. No refunds.
Dr. Young's Ideal Rectal Dilators Were a Real Thing!
January 12, 2019 1800s, 1900s, 1910s, 1920s, event & history, inventions, medical, WTF
Dr. Young’s Dilators were a real medical device sold in the United States from the late nineteenth century until at least the 1940s. They were a set of four “torpedolike” hard-rubber (later, plastic) instruments varying in diameter from 1⁄2 to 1 inch and in length from 3 to 4 inches.
Dr. Young himself praised rectal dilation as a cure for insanity, claiming that at least “three-fourths of all the howling maniacs of the world” were curable “in a few weeks’ time by the application of orificial methods”. Young also admitted that some patients panicked at the sight of the devices.
The product claimed it corrected constipation, promoted more refreshing sleep, and could relieve foul breath, bad taste in the mouth, sallow skin, acne, anemia, lassitude, mental hebetude, insomnia, anorexia, headaches, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, flatulence, indigestion, nervousness, irritability, cold extremities, and numerous other ailments. The instructions warned, “Do not neglect to use your Dilators ... It is advisable to use [them] occasionally as a precautionary measure. You need have no fear of using them too much”.
A 1905 advertisement by F. E. Young and Co. of Chicago promised that “The best results may be obtained by the use of Young’s self-retaining rectal dilators”, the use of which “accomplishes for the invalid just what nature does daily for the healthy individual”. Doctors were advised that “If you will prescribe a set of these dilators in some of your obstinate cases of Chronic Constipation you will find them necessary in every case of this kind”. The price of a set “to the profession” was $2.50 (equivalent to $70 in 2018).

Who remembers Gillette razors with the baseball encyclopedia attached? My dad received one of these every year so that my brother and I would get the encyclopedias.

You know the saying “Our grandparents would turn over in their grave if they knew water is sold in bottles today”
WELL…..

What is Dehydrated Water?
Well, dehydrated water is actually not a hoax, although the website Museum of Hoaxes has an article about them (which acknowledges the joke). These cans of dehydrated water are actually empty tin cans made by a real food company, Bernard Food Industries, who began making the cans in 1964.
For a special treat, dissolve the entire can in a quart - the concentrated water is really good!
Also, I wish that it came with a plastic resealing lid for those times when you don't want/need a whole can. It's hard getting all the leftover dehydrated water into a ziplock bag.
The two from my childhood that most come to mind:
“I don’t wanna grow up, I’m a Toy R Us kid”
“Like Mike, if I could be like Mike.”

Hey wbcbus, like your aviator...your parents, grandparents? The shepherd looks great
Thanks step, that's my grandfather and grandmother upon my grandmother's graduation from Penn State in 1939 (Home Ec major) with my grandfather's Belgian shepherd Queen.
Wrap your head around this....
Definitely, that people in the 50’ were able to tell the difference between simple and sexual nudity and were comfortable with the former.
Examples:
The famous Coppertone suntan products brand. For decades, one of the iconic ads featured a toddler whose bottoms are slightly pulled down by a small dog, revealing her tan line.
As you can see in the road billboard below, the girl is topless, and has been tanning this way as you can tell from the tan.
Fact is, it was very common for toddlers, both boys and girls, to go to the beach or a pool only in bottoms. People did not sexualize toddlers in the 50’s like we do today:
Back then, small bikinis for toddler girls were not common, because no one in his right mind would force a toddler to wear something to cover breasts she does not have.
Another example? People were quite used to showering in a group, especially men. Most men had served in the military, where this was the norm, and would consider someone who did not felt comfortable doing this a weirdo. There were ads for showerheads like these in trade magazines:
People in the 50’s were much more logical with their views of non-sexual nudity than today, where the mere act of undressing for a shower in a gym

They were from a different era. I never once saw my grandfather in anything but a suit, not even for a minute. And other than an sleep gown at the end of the night or first thing in the morning, I never saw my grandmother in anything but a dress, full jewelry, hair, makeup. They had a "class" that doesn't really exist anymore.
Yeah, my grandfather was always dressed for Mass.
