| 50453 | Dire Straits - Money for Nothing | <p><img alt="" src="https://i.pinimg.com/474x/50/3f/28/503f285651c0161bbe97b3eb2f9c9bda.jpg" /></p> <p>Lol, there's more to the story, but I tell the short version - no one want's a novel.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/e8/05/4e/e8054e2350b62a305281ef509d2261f6.jpg" /></p> <p>"we gotta move these refrigerators - we gotta move these color TV's"</p> <p>MTV changed music, and television. What an unlikely series of events that a catch phrase from the '50's and '60's, forgotten by a new generation, thrown in the lyrics of a mega-hit song, yet picked-up and changed ever so slightly; to become the new rally cry for a kickass cable channel. That's the 80's<em> fer ya!</em></p> | eddstarr | Apr 10, 2024 |  |
| 50452 | Dire Straits - Money for Nothing | <p>Ah, so that's how that line came to be. From a bunch of guys whining for hot cereal. XD</p> | BlueNova | Apr 09, 2024 | |

In the 1950's, this cartoon kid would yell, "I Want My Maypo", because Maypo tasted so good his dad would eat it all before he could get any.</p> <p><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/M0gz58TXgj4?si=vn2eaHyXCk6RKPvi" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p> <p>By the mid-1960's the phrase, "I Want My Maypo", was turned into Gold with an ad featuring famous sports athletes, all whining that well known line.</p> <p><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AGZSWdh17l0?si=MqVIiubUXIFzcnlY" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p> <p>MTV was built by generation "Maypo", but the MTV founders noticed that newer generations didn't get it - which actually made that old Maypo line the perfect ad phrase for new cable customers to demand their MTV, especially where cable companies didn't offer it. The, "I Want MY MTV", campaign worked as an homage to "I Want My Maypo".</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/5e/2a/b6/5e2ab69a409d73a38efce9bdaa5cfec3.jpg" /></p> | eddstarr | Apr 09, 2024 | |
| 50449 | Wrestlemania | <p>The most recent WM I saw was the one in 2005. When I heard that Roman Reigns lost his title match last night, had to watch.</p> | BlueNova | Apr 08, 2024 | |
| 50448 | Spring '24 | <p><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">The warm weather is trying its best to creep around here in VA. Very warm when the sun is out, but once its clouded over there's a faint chill. Most likely the summer heat will arrive a month before the season</span></p> | Benjanime | Apr 08, 2024 | |
| 50447 | The Eclipse of 1970 | <p>The Moon is slowly moving farther away from the Earth and has been doing so since planetary formation. That means that far in the distant future, the Moon will be too small to cast a total solar eclipse. So how far in the future will that "Last Eclipse Ever", actually happen?</p> <p><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8qyFAa2T0vs?si=EBLZcz9-EL9wOU0k" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p> | eddstarr | Apr 08, 2024 | |
| 50446 | Your avatar. | <p>What's so attention-getting for the silhouette style avatar is the way it kinda "shifts" the harder you stare at it. I'm so old that my mind wants to morph it into the Phantom of the Opera,<em> lol. </em></p> | eddstarr | Apr 08, 2024 | |
| 50445 | Spring '24 | <p>Hope your May vacation happens without a hitch, RaR.</p> <p>Surprisingly, this has been the coldest March and April I've experienced in Seattle since 1985.</p> | eddstarr | Apr 08, 2024 | |
| 50444 | Spring '24 | <p>The weather has still been cold here in Pennsylvania. It is funny, we got like a solid week in the middle of March where everything was over 60 and then suddenly everything dropped back down. While we do have some rain in the next week of forecasts, it does seem the colder weather is going away and things are steadily rising back into the 60s permanently.</p> <p>On a side note, I am looking forward to taking my vacation in May. I don't know what I am doing yet but I will be taking a week off from work now that I just received paid-time off.</p> | Rick Ace Rhodes | Apr 08, 2024 | |
