But there is no more. Ron Popeil died Wednesday, July 28 in a Los Angeles hospital at age 86 of an unspecified medical emergency.

He made around $200 million with his ideas and inventions.

I still have a original Veg-O-Matic in the original, yellowing with age,
box. I still have the instructions and spare parts order form. I wonder
if I could still buy spare parts?

Not for years. Now it's a curiosity. I have two sets of cutting blades.
It will still cut a spud into dandy slices for French frying. It will be
the first thing to go when I croak. The young lack nostalgia.

Do you mean disagree? I hate spelling helpers. If you do disagree, good

You're probably a good speller. I've always been a bad speller. When my son was 7, he was a better speller than I was. Back in those days, I'd just ask him for some spelling help. These days, I rely on spell checkers, grammar checkers, and word suggesters. It's a great time to be a bad speller!

That's a splendid idea! I'd have mine set to "Aggressive" whenever I write a post to you - dickface!

Mine only has one setting: Civilised. So I'm afraid I can't
reciprocate your style.

That's your problem, yoose got yours set on the most boring style of all. Yoose should just quit posting altogether. For a guy that supposedly uses his computer for real heavy-duty, he-man work, you post mostly lightweight fluffy material. Your He-man computer must hate what you're forcing it to do.

Digress is a word; I meant it as intended.

The point of my post being that most consider my age young, and
nostalgia is not something that I lack. :)

To digress is introduce a new topic. If you'd started talking about
orange juice, that would be a digression.

Still not a digression.

More of an "I beg to differ".
