He’s still slicing a tomato he picked in the 70’s - very thin slices

RIP...Consumate salesman and entertainer.

You Took A Long Time To Hook Me, Popeil

You took a long time to hook me, Popeil
with four hungry children
and a house that’s mobile
But just on a lark
I caught me some carp
and fried up that’s one tasty meal
You took a long time to hook me, Popeil

But wait, there’s more!

You took a long time to chop me, Popeil
With four hungry children and no time for a meal
but with Veg-o-Matic
I learned not to panic
and make vegetables quick with appeal
You took a long time to chop me, Popeil

Now, how much would you pay?

I took a long time to rotisserie
with four hungry children in my domiciliary
but now with my Showtime
Rotisserie’s so fine
and more, it’s so quick and easy
It’s so easy to rotisserie

It's a shame that he's gone. I just cooked a rack of pork belly earlier. Not in his honor but I thought it would taste good - and it did.

In other news ... Francisco Franco is still dead ... Thousand or more lost in the sinking of the Titanic ... Keith Richards has outlived everyone.

Ron has looked 86 for the last 20 years, but he always had the energy and delivery of a lit firecracker.
He always wore long sleeved dress shirts and usually a tie.
His hair was perfect.

I always thought Ron was one of those very sucessful retailers who could have hired actors for his commercials, but he enjoyed making the sell himself.
He was very comfortable in front of camera and lights.

Don’t forget the Ronco Veg-a-matic. It slices and dices. (although it was invented by his father, Ron just sold it).

But just for you
