Eugene barkley-played by charles briles.
Don't know him. I know about Charles Barkley, played by the Michelin Man.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...jerry you ain't changed a bit,still a legend!!
Remember when ol col.sanders himself was still alive and promoting his chicken with it's[eleven]herbs and spices?
I remember McDonalds introduced the Big Mac. "Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, onions, and pickles on a sesame seed bun has to be one of the greatest marketing jingles ever. And does anybody remember when every Mickey Ds had "over [[XX) million burgers served" on their signs? They sell millions every day now.
Of course. And Wendy's guy a home run with "Where's the beef?" although they never had a jingle. I think the greatest jingle if all time was probably Coke's iconic "I'd like to teach the world to sing".
Don't forget the Marlboro Man. I remember when they advertised cigarette commercials on Saturday mornings. Tried to get us young.
One of the first tv actors to die from cancer back in the day,was the actor from perry mason.
I'm pretty sure the Marlboro Man died from cancer as well.
It's my belief that you're not[going]until it's your time and only god knows that,i don't care what these[know it all]doctors say,how many folks do we know who have never[drank,smoked,clubbed]but died young none the less,when your number is called-that's it!!!
You and I were in that age of kids who were first being brainwashed to avoid cigarettes. I remember my dad and my aunt were the biggest two smokers in my family. Dad made it known point blank that I could save the preaching, so I didn't bother him with message. I told my aunt that she shouldn't smoke every time I saw her. After a couple of years, she finally told me that she knows that smoking is bad for her but she enjoyed it, so please stop trying to get her to stop. So I did. To my great sadness, she lost a leg above the knee about 10 years later due to hardened arteries and the other about three years after that.
I was crushed that I couldn't get her to stop before, but she definitely went cold turkey after losing the first leg. She died a few years later and I told my mother how bad I felt to not help her and Mom told me that my aunt told her several times that I had been right and how she wished that she had listened to me. It somehow made me feel even worse.
Both her and my Pops smoked from the time they were 12 years old. It killed her but Dad is still going strong at 82. Sometime around when he turned 60 or so, he stopped cold turkey and never went back. I don't know how he did it other than to consider addiction must hit some harder than others.
What i'm saying is that addictions put you in bad health,but death,doctors have been scaring folks for years with this line...you wanna die mr.nance? Well keep on doing this an that,and i have and i'm still sitting here,so far!!
My Grandmother passed away 11 years ago last month at age 100. She lived her entire life in a very rural area. She saw her doctor maybe once a year or so. She ate normal food, tended her garden and flowers and did all of her own housework including laundry up until age 97. Her mind was sharp as she and I would discuss George Bush on the phone. I've had cousins that did not make it out of their 40s because of excess and bad habits.
Let's get back to our[happy]memories,because these doctors should stick to peddlin pills and referrals that's all there're good for they piss me the f--k off!!!
Remember when all we knew about was the good music coming from the radio,no gossip about artist personal lives.
My dad takes something like six or seven different drugs. I'm pretty sure that most are for symptoms caused by other ones. Like he took one originally for cholesterol but it caused high blood pressure. So he needed one for that and it caused sugar fluctuations. So he needed one for that and it caused water retention, so he needed a pill for that.
Maybe not in that exact order, but I'm convinced that he'd be better off without any of them.
Remember when you couldn't wait to get to[sunday school]because of that new cute girl,and your mom being so happy because her[baby]was getting interested in church,hehe.
Nah, that's not one of my memories. I do remember Mom giving me a quarter to put in the collection plate, though. And I remember the church we went to at some point started having "collection" and also a "deacon's offering". I think I was giving five dollars a week at that point. When the second basket became a thing, I split it up and put four dollars in the first basket and one into the next.
I can remember ONCE as a kid withholding my tithe and offering money so that I could go down into church basement afterwards and buy cake, etc. that they were selling. My father found out, that is why it was the one time I ever did that. hehehehehehehe!
I remember when one of our Sunday school teachers wanted us to read parts for a play. She called my brother out for fidgeting and he didn't appreciate it. When she finally turned to him to read a line from the script, he began to read all of the parts with each character having his or her own voice. He just didn't care and let her know it. Another time, we were supposed to read sections of our Sunday school manual and my sister bribed me with a McDonald's cheeseburger if I turned it out. Imagine a 12 year old Jesse Jackson suddenly reading instead of a quiet and shy kid who barely talked to anybody. My sister was in tears laughing before anybody could stop me and ask what was going on.
I remember how we used to visit my Grandma after church each Sunday. I'd always find time to run a few blocks to the drug store and buy two or three comic books with my allowance and every few weeks, I'd pick up a copy of Famous Monsters of Filmland. Great memories.
Haaaaa,once my buddy and i were supposed to be in church,instead we went to the washington monument[you could just walk on in back then]well my grandmother figured out i wasn't in church but she didn't tell mom[whew]needless to say i didn't pull that stunt again,hehe!!
Yep. My cousin Lloyd used to buy those "Eerie" and "Creepy" comics. I couldn't even read those back then, they were too graphic and scary. He didn't bring home any Vampirella comics because his mother would have jumped on him when she looked at the covers.

Haaaaa,i remember that one,i collected[dc]comics and had some good ones too,my brother collected a different kind of mag,it was called[playboy]i had fun peeping at those.
I had that Vampirella issue. I had tons of the Movie Monster magazines. They seemed to be popular in the early 70s. We started collecting comics in the 60s up till the mid 70s when I got to high school. Some may still be stashed in my mom's house somewhere. I bought the first issue of "Luke Cage Hero for Hire".
Here's another example of the types of magazines I bought back then:
Attachment 13928
Wow,the great christopher lee as dracula.
I remember my big brother taking me downtown to the comic book store and he bought an "Avengers" comic. My sense of self changed when one of them had the Black Panther in it. I love Stan Lee to this day for that and can't wait to see the movie next month. And "Luke Cage, Hero For Hire" was one of my favorites as well.
And my monster movie magazine was Forrest Ackerman's "Famous Monsters of Filmland". Used to love that magazine.
