I assume that his batteries wore out?

Wow, I had no idea he did that in 1955.
I salute him indeed.

One assumes his life was Tivoed.

He'd rather switch than fight?
(OK, Geezer bus pass for anyone who can name the "I'd rather fight than switch" product)

This is what worries me...my head is filled with lots of this useless information. Why?

Do I qualify for the geezer bus if I can remember calling the tv remote, "the clicker"?

I have my own pet name for the remote.
It goes something like, "Who hid the g*#$@%& #*&@^# remote? If I ever find that son-of-a-%!#@*, I'm nailing it to the table!"

Pirate Boy - - if it's not too late, I'll thake that geezer bus pass with "Tareyton". My dad smoked those for years.

Another Larry voting for Tareyton. I'm sure Viceroy had a slogan, but I can't remember it.
