I am intimate with daily handfuls of various drugs--all prescribed by
my cardiologist without any suggestion from me. So my blood runs a
little chilly when TV commercials implore me to ask my doctor about
some designer pill the corporate drug dealers are hawking.
But seeing jibjab.com take a poke at those commmercals warms my
heart--especially to the tune of the Austin Lounge Lizards.

As you might have noticed, the four of us are older than you. And we've learned a helluva lot more.
Since blogs are rumored to be replacing daily newspapers, network television news, live radio news and semaphore flags (look it up), herewith is some wisdom from the ages.
Dumbest publisher in America award goes to the jackasses who print the telephone books around the country. They should fire the genius who came up with the brilliant notion to use small, teeny, tiny type. Most of us can't read the damn numbers with glasses AND a magnifying glass. Don't those idiots read the demographic studies? There are more Baby Boomers than any other population category in the U.S. And every damned one of them uses the telephone.
We waiting to give the smartest auto manufacturer award to the first company who recognizes night vision is a problem for the aging population and installs some good headlights with decent candlepower.
Hopefully, some automobile review will rank the cars by headlight umph.
For you youngsters who may think this is just a cranky guy bitching, I'll give you a line from the old radio show, Life of Riley. My favorite character was/is Digger O'Dell, the undertaker.
Often, Digger would say to the young people: "You may not like flowers, but eventually, they'll grow on you."
You'll hear more from me later, when I am ready.
Our own Bill Mercer had a nifty article written about him in the Muskogee Phoenix.
Go to "Legendary Voice of One of Our Own" to see some great old photos. If you're a costume designer trying to capture historic fashion choices and hairstyles, this would a good place to begin your research.
