@restinparadise Um, forgive me for nitpicking, but if this individual was 97 years old, that would mean he was born in 1928 or 1929. The #Titanic sank in 1912.

An act of Congress bannned them back in 1970. But, I’m so old, I remember when they were around in proliferation. This morning, quite randomly, a memory swam up into my consciousness, dating from, as best I recall, from kindergarten days, riding the bus to school, and a bunch of us belting out Winstons taste good like a cigarette should.

I kind of feel like I’m flunking adulthood right now. I’m going to go attend a webinar while lying down, with video off of course, and work on a reboot.

Food Republic says:@KrissyKat I know this is sacrilege, but when I lived there I was never a Pizza King fan. I didn’t like the way they chopped the meat toppings into confetti.

Wow, I knew Fred and Barney smoked Winstons, but I always assumed they didn’t drink anything stronger than cactus cooler.Wow, I knew Fred and Barney smoked Winstons, but I always assumed they didn’t drink anything stronger than cactus cooler.
