Hunting and gathering, circa 1957
April 13, 2021YouTube claims this was made in 1962, but according to the fine print in the film itself, it was made in 1957. Either way, if you’re a baby boomer who went grocery shopping with Mom back when you were a young whippersnapper, this will bring back memories. If you watch all the way to the end you’ll see how much an average mother paid for a shopping cart full of groceries in 1957 (warning: not for the faint of heart).

Wednesday weirdness
April 7, 2021This video is ancient — even older than YouTube! — and about as amateurish as a video can be, but it still cracks me up every time I watch it. If you are unfamiliar with the plot of Pride and Prejudice, you should probably give this one a miss, as it will make no sense whatsoever.
