These ads are so irritating, I'm thinking of tossing the television into the alley.

Casey Chevrolet-- that does bring back ugly images. I forgot that annoying Farm Fresh jingle too. Tom

I grew up in Gloucester County, VA... not too far from Va. Beach. I remember some of those regional ads you mentioned, especially the ones for Cost Plus (You save more money at Cost Plus-- right Joanna? Right Daddy!) YUCK!

How about the ads for Haynes furniture? Or Casey Chevrolet (thank God I don't have to see that one on a regular basis anymore... the lady that did them was older than the hills-- but I still remember the phone number! 596-6311!)

Thanks for the walk down memory lane!

the exact same commercials. What is worse is that Granniemose mimics them when they are in progress. Yes. I could live without a TV.

About the Geico commercials made me laugh. I do say that my favorite of them is the one where the old woman's cats are sizing up the gecko as their mid-day munchie... Thanks for venting. -- Telynor

you wrote about, I enjoyed reading your take on them, Tom. No TV? Of course, you had to get one, how else could Doc order from QVC? I am thinking about all that you have missed over the years........and you are probably better off for it.

Happy Easter!

Thanks for the entry Tom:) I appreciate it, and your well wishes for Grandma. She is doing better and even got her hair permed today.

My Best to You and the Doc!

What about the song "Kung Fu Fighting" that the little green menace sings ... hear that once and you can never get it out of your head.
