IMO....I think the beard ate him. I couldn't understand why he never
used Oxy-Clean on it.......

Good grief...did he swallow one of those damned rags?


The only "pitchman" on TV I ever liked was (and is) Ron Popeil, mainly
because he really understands how to use the medium to demonstrate
products.


"Ronco"


I was always humored when you could get a $459.00 value for $29.95.


Yep...RONCO. Remember the Popeil Pocket Fisherman, the little plastic
fishing rod and reel? And all the other products, some good, some silly,
some surreal?

The one that scares me is that countertop chicken cooker. It has to get
hot as hades on the outside as well as the inside, and it must be a pain
in the ass to clean, too. I love the cheap knives commerical...there's
enough quality there to slice cleanly through at least one tomato.


You just gotta know what brand of knives to buy. There's some real
nice stuff (Culinary) on the market.

When he came on, I'd say, "Goddamit, I'll buy whatever you are selling.
Send me one quick! Just shut the **** up!"

I can't stand the Progressive Insurance commericials, and that obnoxious
"pitch lady," but I do like GEICO's gecko.


You just have to respond to every post don't you?


What else does fat ass have to do all day? Go boating?

I remember the hair spray that was supposed to make thin hair look
thicker....



*That's* why WAFA is a RONCO fan!

When I am away from the computer for a day or two, I just do a quick
"catch up" and really don't read most of the post, but from a quick
scan, it looks like Harry is never away from him computer.

Amazing isn't it? He must be so much fun to be around with his nose pointed
at a computer monitor 24/7.

I heard him say something about how he talks from the diaphragm.
My wife is painting the kitchen, and I offered to help her 3 times
now.
But I talked from the diaphragm. You should hear it in an empty
kitchen.
She told me "Get the hell out of here!" 3 times.
Thanks, Billy.
