6. Reminds me of 'Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House'

When he (Cary Grant) was trying to come up with a slogan for the Wham ad campaign, this was one of his gems:

This little piggy went to market
As meek and as mild as a lamb
He smiled in his tracks
As they slipped him the ax —
He knew he'd turn out to be Wham!

3. This is the disturbing PSA trump card...

Twenty nine years after watching this for the first time, and it still creeps me the fuck out...

9. I'm certain of it

Not 50, but about 30. Maybe 35.

Seriously, I've had the feeling I was on a B-17 bomber crew in WWII — prolly just an over-active imagination, though. But I am uncommonly attracted to that era, for reasons I can't fathom.

A tad spooky sometimes, it is.

20. I love the military produced anti-VD vids on The Smoking Gun...

The subtext in them all is that women are filthy, disease-ridden creatures that should be avoided. Of course, then they put out the anti-homosexual vid, so I guess you're left with... ummmm... Rosie Palm?
