Anybody watch Nick-at-Nite's TV Land channel where they play some of the old classic commercials from the 50's, 60's and 70's and call them "retromercials"? It's great to see some of the toy commercials that advertised the toys that you remember having. Or those "Twip" commercials that look like their old but are actually new ones made to look old. Very clever. RW, what happened to the ladies? Did I scare them all away? I guess I can leave the toilet seat UP all the time now.

Was that the one where Louie has to pay for the sign, but he can't because lizards only deal in Dragon Flies? He makes a offer to clean the sign, with his tongue, once a week for a year. Bud's response was a threat of legal action. That one is pretty funny. Bud Light has some funny stuff, I like the chicken that plays pool and baseball, so his friend can win a beer. The end of the baseball one where the manager does a wing-flap to "call in the heat" is funny! However, I think the shopping trip where the guys are barbecuing inside the clothes rack is the best beer commercial on the air. We need to party with those guys while Denice, Chloe and Caroline shop away. Sound like a plan? Duke
