However throwing gunner a 6-pack would be like throwing a single hot wing to a bear just coming out of hibernation.
I would throw him a case at a minimum.
We also prefer Winchester #231 ball gunpowder with plenty of fuse over fireworks and none of Dark’s coffee.

We have a policy that everyone leaves a get together with all the fingers they brought with them and keep mini-Igloos and ice on hand to insure it is followed.

I don’t think so. I could be wrong but it seems that Finland’s flag is fairly modern and they certainly knew about the swastika and what it meant for our world at the time.

I meant that the reason they’re using it now is still similar to the reason they used it before, regardless of how the rest of the Western World views it.

I find this one a lot creepier than most of the ads in the article:

I like this one where hubby was "down with the grippe." [more likely overseas fighting the Axis] An early feminist approach at saving the baby with Eveready batteries.
I've been long puzzled by Pitney Bowes' "Is it always illegal to kill a woman?"
It may have been a line from a popular movie at that time: late 40's to early 50's. The woman sports an Ike jacket.
Then who can forget George Petty's Ridgid Tool calendar art?

Hey! You gave me an excuse to post one:
On your battery advertisement, many ads today are just as manipulative, but when you're removed from a particular culture, the manipulation becomes a lot more obvious.

One night I was watching Johnny Carson and he was having one of those more raucous nights, I was surprised as they got to making a lot of jokes about young (15) girls sexuality.
That was when I put two and two together, being a high school football player and knowing about sports and guys I had been mystified at grown men’s and my stepfather’s fascination with the girls gymnastics Olympics.
For a couple of years I asked guys about things like that and what I learned was that up front they would scoff, but after a couple of drinks if you brought it up casually they were all into the girls gymnastics type thing.

It just seems so odd they would continue using it knowing what it stood for.
