    Only available in harvest yellow, burnt sienna, olive, and white. Upgrade yours with some simulated wood grain accents to match your station wagon for a reasonable price. Don’t leave it outside in your vacant lot where kids might play inside. Be nice to the Sears appliance department salesperson. They really want a promotion to the vacuum cleaner department so they can buy their kid a high-fidelity 8-track cassette this Christmas.

    I’d keep waxing nostalgic but it will never buff to a nice sheen these days. My parents got a toaster as a wedding gift and it was still in daily use when I went off to college. Appliances nowadays are junk.






  • The figure is somewhere above 0%, but certainly not zero. For example, haven’t you seen the crap blaster 9000 infomercial at 2AM on a Tuesday? You connect that bad boy to a fire hydrant (vendor liability disclaimed), pull the turbo-diesel engine rip cord, and wear a full body bio-hazard suit with air supply (suggested). Not for use with some sets. Batteries not included.

    Ahh, sweet memories; sometimes they overflow.



  • erp@lemmy.worldtomemes@lemmy.worldAh yes, organization.

    Browser: “Are you gonna order somethin’ kid!?” (all subsequent data streams to Google for future sale)

    User: “Uh yeah, give me, gimme a tab.”

    Browser: “A tab. I can’t give you a tab unless you order something!”

    User: “But I’m jonesin for some saccharin … not that newtra-schweddy or whatever it is”

    Biff Yaml enters; sits two spaces down, feeling sexagesimal: “What are you looking at, BUTTHEAD!?” (all of his comments are one line)

    Python Strickland enters: "User what are you doing? Four spaces are used for indentation. You got a real attitude problem, user; you’re a slacker! You remind me of your dunder father when he went here; he was a slacker, too! Quack quack. (his package is poorly managed)

    Linus Torvalds enters: heavy breathing … curses in Finnish (Älykääpiö!) … gits out

    IBM Selectric: “Hold my beer … and my ball”

    Obnoxious neighbor kid walks in (a real ascii): Invokes char(11)/VT; sits on the floor. His Mylar balloon flies away, hits a high voltage line, and the power goes out.

    Browser: “Well, looks like the milkshake machine’s broken.”

    Teletype Model 28 looks up from drinking coffee and reading the morning paper tape: “I would like to be … modified”

    Doc Mill (nee’ Rampazetto) enters: (shudders) “Momma bollocks!”

    During this time, Helium was on a noble mission and did not react.

    This is 1970s, not 80s . Pretty sure a cart full o groceries was way over $20 in the eighties, after a card full of collected grocery chain stamps was saved and turned in. Inflation and all that.

    Anyway… how bout some Suzy Qs, ‘Chun King’ (is that oriental flavor?), Kraft Mac N Cheese…and Hawaiian punch?

    Break out the silver and spic-and-span those no-wax floors; the gobnah’s comin ovah to-nite!
