    When I lived in so cal, I used to get a kick out of the Cal Worthington car commercials. Anyone from so cal knows what I'm talking about. Lol

    Southern New Hampshire is part of the Greater Boston television market, so we in Massachusetts are subjected to their political campaign ads. Suuuuucks.

    That Les Schwab commercial about the college graduate that was on the way to her party and almost missed the party because she stood around waiting for the tire guy to show up and put on her spare and then go to the tire store to buy a new tire.

    " You graduated college and don't know how to change a tire?"
    I learned that shit when I took driver's ed I high school...and I have changed my tire a few times.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Fun thread! :)

    This place was THE suburbian mall to be at in the 80s in Surrey (Metro Vancouver). It was awesome in its day. It's still there and it's like stepping into a time warp, lol.
