But it was a possession along these lines:<br /><br />CHRIS: And tell me why my...why did my mother dress me in white shirts, hush puppies and a briefcase, guaranteeing that a girl would never talk to me? -- Real Genius<br /><br />Since I actually had all that, too.<br /><br />I think in the 50s it was probably cool in certain circles to have a slide rule. If calculators at an inflation adjusted price of less than a dollar had been available in the 50s, 60s and early 70s then I think slide rules would have been extinct immediately.<br /><br />All this is a long-winded way of exclaiming in angst "GOOD GOD! I'M, A PLUGGER! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"<br /><br />And then moving to Antarctica and donating my body to medical science and stuff.Marion Delgadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09493068399042656060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29325798620977866.post-3434855613694997912009-11-03T10:41:12.091-06:002009-11-03T10:41:12.091-06:00Was that around the same time that Oliver had his ...Was that around the same time that Oliver had his Banana jr. 3000?William Fosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572869304598001549noreply@blogger.com
