It's a real old cowboy trick. They use to do it to calves that lost their mother, you blow in it's nose and it will follow you around thinking you're it's mother. I've never tried it personally but I know some people that have, they say it works.

I think you're missing the point. Although I now have more awesome cowboy stories to tell.

No wonder so many of my parent's and grandparent's generation smoked. I never realized it was so bad, and based on "facts". Were advertisers allowed to blatantly lie, or did science just suck??

Never heard of "Ronald Regan", but Ronald Reagan was the opposite of a communist. Communist believe that the government should own everything and provide everything for the people (government health care). The "Communist" are the ones that are thanking over private industries like health care, GM, and Chrysler. Read "The Communist Manifesto" and "Animal Farm" to learn what "Communism" is really all about.

Oops no edit button. (The "Communist" are the ones that are thanking over) should be (The "Communist" are the ones that are taking over) I really shouldn't talk on the phone while typing:p

actually communism is a belief that there should be no government at all and that everything is run by the people for the people "from each according to their ability, to each according to their need." Total government control or industry is Socialism, a step toward communism. But universal health care is a communist idea, that is true. Doesn't mean it's a bad one.

Al Jolson's blackface in #3, domestic violence in #9, and great sexual innuendo in #14 made this post fantastic.

These ads' are awesome. Todays ads' are too sissyfied in their message. No cigarette ads', no beer ads', no hard liqour or wine ads'………everyone is so fvcking uptight here the US. The rest of the world doesn't give in to political bullsh1t pressure and that's good to see!

Herro!

Actually the F.I.A. no longer allows cigarette advertisements on race cars or at events. white bars replaced Ferrari's Marlboro logo and several other F1 cars no longer have sponsorship from, or have changed to color reference rather than having the name of the brand on the car.

Cigarette ads were banned in the UK a long time ago. I wonder if we'll ever see any ads for electronic cigarettes, though. Some celebrities have been pictured with them in glossy magazines.

. Except she just said it, so there you go.Additionals: This is pretty cobaumiztsle. A little piece of tape on the jar can hold the paper until the task is done, and then you can either throw it out or put it back in the jar, depending on need. Multiple jars serve the personal/professional separation. You could use colored paper to indicate relative length of the task, so if you only have (say) an hour to work, you know to only pull out yellow papers, whereas if you have the whole afternoon, you could pull out yellow or blue.

Very interesting picture of Ronald Reagan. The designers of that time were very good. The only serious error I found was on the left hand of Ronald. The last finger is a finger of a woman with a long fingernail and pink! he he he
