I need to see a Jolly Green Giant Pill
And where's my prize for being 1000?
Well, I'm fed up with giving blowjobs, so it'll have to be a work of art.
Or even one of my drawings.
Pills grow on trees?
Next thing, you'll be telling me that light bulbs do too.
wait wait... who came first, The Man From Del Monte or The Man From Glad?
You're showing your age there Switch.
Incredible how one can be 'dated' by the ads that had an impact on one as a child...
what about the man from u.n.c.l.e
the man in the moon
spiderman, batman, superman
the weather man
the inside man
the third man
the invisible man
the best man
the elephant man
and of course- the man for all seasons???
here's a drawing of the invisible man, i just drew it.
What's in the bag, goose? Does anyone remember those commercials?
It was a cowboy...rugged, naturally, and he rides up on his horse, and asks a Pancho Villa kinda guy (who's eating potato chips) what his last name is...and I guess the guy must answer "goose," cuz the next thing the big tall cowboy asks, is, "What's in the bag, Goose?"
I googled it!
While planning and thinking for this
essay, I recalled a television commercial
from the early 1960s when I lived in Cali
fornia. It was a commercial for Mother
goose Potato Chips and was quite funny-
although, today, it may be deemed
politically incorrect. It showed a very mas
culine and handsome cowboy riding over
the western hills. He comes around a cor
ner and is accosted by two Mexican bandi
dos, replete with bullet-belts across their
chests and tall sombreros and drawn pis
tols. They stop the handsome cowboy and
ask his name. He replies: "Mothergoose."
The two bandidos, understandably,
laugh hysterically, then focus upon the
cowboy's saddle-bags. One bandido asks
the tall cowboy, "What's in the bag,
Goose?" The cowboy opens up his sad
dlebag, takes out a bag of Mothergoose
Potato Chips, tosses it to the bandidos
and says, "Mothergoose Potato Chips, if
you're man enough to eat them!" There
upon, the cowboy rides off, leaving the
bandidos, as it were, "holding the bag."
It was Granny Goose potato chips, and the guy was Phil Carey who just died a few days ago.

The other thing I remembered was that after the banditos sample the chips Carey has offered, the first remarks, "mmmmm, eeenteresting." The second one, "mmmmmm provocative."
Cracks me up just to think about it.
I recently posted the Granny Goose potato chips TV ad on YouTube.
