Like one of the times they go to Chokey/Chewy chicken, before they arrive they see a friend of theirs, a literal chicken, who says she's going to a job interview for Chewy/Chokey Chicken...it then heavily implies she "got the job" and is killed and Heffer may in fact even be eating her.

Implied? I thought it outright showed that happening.

I had one that was some sort of tank game. To this day I don't know if the object of the game was to hit the tank with bombs from an aircraft or to dodge bombs from the aircraft as the tank.

Snapple Rain was delicious. Reminds me of another drink I loved that went away. Clearly Canadian.



I remember it being sweet and fizzy but not super syrupy like most soda. The same company made Orbitz too.

Clearly Canadian is back on sale in parts of the US, just FYI.

I also remember Mac ads around that time implied things like you can't get Virusii on Macs because they were too good, and stuff like that.

I found the best way to respond to this was "yeah, they don't get viruses because nobody bothers to make viruses for Macs" :smug:

It was a stupid and completely false statement, but it shut them up.

I always liked Colin Quinn's running joke about his society to get Dirty Brits out of Ireland.

I never hated Colin Quinn on Weekend Update because he clearly didn't want to have to replace Norm and said as much on his first appearance.

This feels like peak late 80s/early 90s interior design with grandma's sofa from 1975 inexplicably dropped in the middle of it all.

This kind of decor went completely extinct so fast it's incredible in retrospect. You can find more holdovers from the Deepest Seventies than you can from the early 90s.

Yikes! pencils were not functionally great as pencils, but I was slightly cool for five minutes when I used them in second grade. Mission accomplished?

There were all sorts of weird pencils back then. I had a bunch that were triangular, which seemed cool until I realized I had to sharpen them and they wouldn't fit in the sharpener.

My favorite school pencils were the natural wood ones made by that huge pencil company that wasn't Ticonderoga.

I always thought this was a very good album, even though there’s a tendency to snicker when the name ‘Shatner’ is mentioned.

My opinion of Shatner's singing changed when I read an interview with him promoting this album. He explained that his rather unique style was a deliberate choice because of some artistic genre thing. And yeah, his cover of "Common People" loving owns.

I didn't realize this was a real restaurant and not just a weird made up for television thing until like a year after the Seinfeld episode aired. I was on a road trip with my parents from San Diego to Spokane and back when I saw one somewhere in Oregon.
