Yet Another Retro Television Commercial

[bongobro]

"We Biz Bag! Whew!"

The Biz Bag goes back a little bit further (think it was about '75 through '77), but the principle was as nurdlinger said--the bag was reserved for the really funky stuff that needed Biz.

Anyone remember the Eddie Albert Biz commercials from the turn of the 1970s? Funny that he was a rabid ecologist and he was paid to do those commercials (much like Arthur Godfrey was with Axion!)...

1989?

I was living in LA, thinking how lucky we were to not have the Earthquake that struck San Francico in 1989. A few years later I was transferred to San Francisco and the Northridge quake hit southern California and was thinking how lucky I was to live up in SF. Strange, but I always seem to dodge disaster in my life. Maybe there are guardian angels, after all.

1989

i was probably in some drunken stupor somewhere!!!! trying to figure out WHY I was in the relationship that I was in!! Almost 8 years starting from 1987.......horrible..... don't want to repeat that again! However that or anything else didn't and does not prevent me from having a good time. I still enjoyed myself when I needed to. Life only got better from there.

Well, I guess I dodged a bullet as well. If I hadn't called in sick that day, it would have been quite possible that I would have been on the lower deck of the Cypress structure on my way home at 5 pm, as it was the most direct route home. One guy I worked with had just gotten off that section of the freeway when the quake hit.

Frigilux was 30 and doing a lot of drugs and alcohol. Frigilux thought he was still a college student. Frigilux eventually grew up and out of that particular hole.

Depending on the month, I either didn't exist as anything or I was still in the womb! Born May 31st, 1990!

I was in Kindergarten in 2/89, a month before my 6th birthday. I remember being facinated with the rotary phone in the toy kitchen we had. I would turn the dial and pretend to talk on it way too much. There is even a picture of me talking on it in the yearbook. Thus began my love with old stuff. Who would have thought that phone would have spawned this place. When I get it cleaned up, I'll have to post some pics.
