This is an ad from a 1998-ish bodybuilding mag for Sampson & Delilah, Inc. The only one I recognize is Cory Everson, the one on the phone. Perhaps she's talking to her agent. 'I don't have to wear these pants after the ad, right?' ;)</div>

This is from 1973 or so and this giant Ski-Doo welcomed people to Shediac, New Brunswick, Canada. This was a few years before I was born. That's my father on the left and I dunno who is beside him.</div>

I love VHS tapes and still buy them, as recently as a couple of days ago. You can find some real gems. You can also find some real "gems." ;) Plus, the art is almost always better than on DVD and Blu-ray counterparts. I've decided to post pics of some of the more interesting ones in my collection. Come visit...

I think he said I can have it too. :) Anyway, the handle on this one is around 5 feet and the blade is around 40 inches.<br /><br />This reminds me that I saw a sickle at Goodwill not long ago.

I always knew of the company, as I lived not too far from the factory, which was in Dieppe. I saw it many times whilst we drove down the highway beside the industrial park it was situated in. They were right at the side of the road and I remember the big Hanshaus letters.<br /><br />It's kind of a <span style="font-weight:bold;">sad story</span>, actually...

I still remember one from the "dark ages" of Star Wars when they used a picture of Chewbacca on the cover and said it was an alien invasion in Africa. :D<br /><br />The Bat Boy thing became an ongoing saga. He stole a Mini and led police on a 3 state chase (did they let him stop to refuel?), the FBI caught him and locked him up, and he even voluntarily became a Marine! And all the while having the exact same expression on his face! :pRipplinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07107609489389828757noreply@blogger.com0
