Order now and we’ll throw in two free tickets to Ron Popeil’s funeral, where he’ll personally demonstrate his brand new Ronco Crematomatic! Just pop the body in, set it, and forget it! In five minutes you’ll have the ashes scooped and sealed in a free set of four Ronco Superstrength Urns!
I remember the Pocket Fisherman.
Loyalist, if you came up with that, you are brilliant! lol BTW, Al Stewart co-wrote a really cool historical song called “The Loyalist”. Worth a listen on youtube.
Very sad. I will miss him.
“And it really really works!”
That’s funny!
No! We had a city zoo in my hometown of Evansville Indiana called Mesker Park Zoo. Besides the awesome Zoo they had a huge amusement park, an outdoor amphitheater and a large woodland park.
Inside the fences of the zoo were 3 good sized lakes that were brimming full of trophy size bigmouth bass. I knew some zoo employees who would show me pictures of the monsters they used to catch, a job perc!
I bought a Popeil Pocket Fisherman so I could climb the fence and catch myself a trophy bass. Trying to breach the zoo security back in 1970, required a compact fishing gear setup. The Popeil Picket Fisherman was they key!
2 of us 16 year old fishermen jumped the fence one bright moonlit night and we started making those pocket fishermen sing. Using only HulaPoppers and Jitterbug artificial lures we caught so many big bass and catfish that it foiled our escape because my buddy couldn’t quite lift the stringer over the fence and we were laughing so hard the night watchman came out and caught us.
I think I still have that Popeil Pocket Fisherman somewhere in my barn. RIP Mr. Popeil.
Ronco an American classic.
I remember the commercials you’d see them all the time back in the days.
He was an American treasure.
“How do you like my nuts now?”
I like your dark humor. That’s some funny stuff!
My dad had the Pocket Fisherman. When he passed, my brother claimed it.
RIP Ron Popeil.
Ave Maria will be sung by a chorus of plastic bass...
