The husband decided to breakdown and get MST3K on DVD.  He all of them on VHS for the longest time.  The man is so stubborn when it comes to embracing modern technology.  I had to threaten him before he broke down and bought a cell phone when we first got married. I swear if the man had his way, he'd be still using a slide rule and dialing the operator in order to connect him to a number that starts with *KLONDIKE 257.

Anyway, we had a mini MST3K marathon and we discovered that both the kiddo and I are Joel fans while the husband is a Mike fan, so every time the theme song came on the kiddo would yell out "Joel!" no matter who was featured in the episode. LOL!



* The phone companies started encouraging the producers of television shows and movies to use the 555 prefix for fictional telephone numbers, roughly during the 1970s. One of the earliest uses of a 555 number can be seen in
Panic in Year Zero! (1962), with 555-2106. In older television shows from the 1950s or 1960s, "KLondike 5" or "KLamath 5" was used, as at the time the telephone exchanges used letters and numbers in phone numbers. More recent works set in this period typically use this convention as well. For example, Dr. Emmett Brown's 1955 phone number in Back to the Future is "KLondike 5-4385".

LMAO! There was one where a guy and a kid were trying to get away from some people.  Unfortunately they were driving a raggedy, beat up Ford truck.  "Like a....rock!"

That's not lame! That's an example how you can learn a lot from reading even simple things.

I'm just a bitter-ass bitch because my parents didn't teach me a GOT damn thing. (Is got damn a Texan thing? I've been saying that since I was about 10, I heard from all the drunken rednecks at the bars.) (Is drunken redneck an oxymoron?) Speaking of oxymorons, another thing my parents didnt teach me. Hmmph.

I mailed a handwritten letter to the author of the book that taught me pretty much everything about life, the world. I found her mailing address on a website on the internet*.

My grandparents still referred to their numbers in Flushing, NY that way when I was a kid.  In fact, I seem to recall the TV commercials from businesses in Chicago using letter prefixes even in the early 70s.  Another one of those memories that really tend to date a person. lol

I remember a commercial when I was a kid for carpeting or something and the jingle was "National 2-9000. National 2-9...000. " Pretty exciting, heh?

I don't remember that commercial. Must've been local.
