Damn Kids in Your Jello Tree Again?

The other day a coworker told us how these kids were partying loudly in the park behind her house. Another coworker said she should've opened the window and yelled, "Hey you kids! Get out of that Jello tree!"
Surprisingly (to me), I was the only one in the group who recognized the reference. It's from a Jello commerical that apparently ran only in Canada in the 70s. Bill Cosby was in it and there was a big tree hung with giant translucent Jello fruit, the kind you can make from the moulds they sold back then. Do you remember it? Even the spouse does not recall the commercial.

In other nostalgia news...


The irony is that, "back in the day", the Pop Shoppe meant inexpensive, bulk pop. Now it's more like Jones Soda - an overpriced "gourmet" hipster item. The spouse drank the pop - I just wanted the bottle - and he said it tasted better when he was a kid. Then again, as children my sisters and I used to sneak sugar cubes out of the cupboard and we thought they tasted pretty great, so it's all relative.

Yesterday was productive for knitting. Here was the cow in the morning.


And here it was in the evening.



I've since dropped it off at BF's house to bring to SW at SOLS.

I'll be seeing George A. Romero's Land of the Dead tomorrow. Sweet!
