OMG. I stumbled upon this on youtube while looking for something
completely different. Stoppette Spray Deodorant/antipirspirant from the
1950's.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1Q1rVV5wsk

All I can say is kept wanting to say stop it!

It was apparently a featured sponsor on the Television Show 'What's My
Line.' What a weird television show that was.

Yes, I'd really like a product that shoots powder into my armpits. And
please, do call it Stopette. LOL

YOU VERMIN!

You criminally STALK and ABUSE women, you sick little dwarfy man!

Here's what you did when you went all over the Usenet impersonating the
well-liked regular named "sf" and posting all her personal data on the
net against her will, including her:

* home address
* age
* cell phone number
* husband's name

etc.

YOU did that, you evil bastard!

And then you had the hubris to actually GLOAT about in public saying:

She should call the cops. I've already publicly admitted it is me so
a conviction should be a piece of cake and then forging would stop.
So what's stopping her? I think she suffers from Bovism - she just
loves the attention and drama and screw the rest of the group.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


And before that you literally stalked poor Omelet, a local Auustin
favorite, right off the Usenet!

In your worst moment ever you actually begged her to KILL you:

I have a very faint memory of deodorant coming in sprayers like that.
Then in the early 60s they came out with aerosol spray cans.

FWIW, the first commercial deodorant was developed in 1888. Between 1942
and 1957 the market for deodorant market grew 600 time, and up to 1957
it was marketed to women. It was not until then that deodorant was being
marketed for men.

That explains why as a kid I often thought adult men stunk. Lack
of deodorant and probably bathing and not changing clothes in
addition to being heavily saturated with stale tobacco smoke
isn't a good thing.

I hadn't noticed anyone with that odor in decades until I went
to this eye doctor one day and the stupid shmuck stunk. Brought
back the memory of that characteristic foul odor immediately.

He allegedly invented some sort of bottled shampoo, too. It's like a

That show was developed in the early days of television so there
wasn't much to compare. Everything was based heavily on what
worked in radio. The big hook that show had at the time was that
with television they could show the audience the answer.

When Marty was waging war upon the NFL newsgroups in '11 he fought
bitterly to take the 49rs group down, and ultimately lost.

The upshot of that is he began sending his loyal opposition "The

That after his usual narking to get news accounts canceled.

Marty earned and still wears the title: Nunya Snitchiness, due to his
censorious cowardice.

If you should ever cross the BBQ-ruining greaseball this is precisely
what to expect from him.

Exactly right. They didn't yet know what to do with television. I'm
guessing very few homes had a television in 1952. It was new
techonology and likely expensive. They probably watched it at a
neighbors house. Everyone gather round, it's time for 'What's My Line'!

I still have no idea who most of the panelists were. Celebrities of the
day. I know some of the names - Arlene Francis, Steve Allen. The other
people, mostly I don't know.

The first television stations in Canada opened in 1952. Before that,
only those who lived close to the American border got a signal. We got
our first television around 1954-55, and it was just a tiny screen, and
reception was pretty bad. They were high maintenance gizmos that
required frequent tube replacement. Most hardware stores and convenience
stores had a testing machine and a supply of replacement tubes.

Early in my career there was a guy in the organization who was a
pathological liar. Despite him being at least 10 years too young to
haev served in WWII he claimed to have been in the navy during the war
and when he got out of the navy he started a TV repair business. I
suppose may have made sense that a TV repair business would not have
been successful so many years before people were buying those new
fangled gizmos, but the guy had worked for the highways department for
years and was near the bottom of the later. I would have expected that
anyone who had been in TV repair in his youth would have been a
technical nerd who would have stayed and progressed in the rapidly
growing electronics sector.

There weren't that many people in the television business back then.
There were only three networks and all their stations showed the same
shows.

Here's another episode, later. I really did not watch this game show
series.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jy7LsQXpi7k

Dad was in Vietnam at the time this aired (1967). I didn't spend a lot
of time indoors watching television. I was too busy being a kid.
Playing outside until dusk. Riding my bicycle, roller skating, playing tag.

The built-in ads are the funniest. In that last clip I did know who
Tony Randall was. I still have no idea who panelist Sue Oakland is.

Poston is still alive? Dorothy Kilgallen croaked from a reaction
to combination of barbiturates and alcohol. Then there was
Bennett Cerf, very popular, also deceased. As a kid I liked Phil
Silvers. To Tell the Truth was the other similar game show of
the day. Then there was Queen for a Day, where several sob
stories were told by women down on their luck to a panel which
then selected the saddest one to receive a bunch of prizes and a
day of pampering.

Steve Allen left to start the Tonight Show
Early on it ws Moderated by John Daly and with panelists columnist
Dorothy Kilgallen, actress Arlene Francis, publisher Bennett Cerf,and a
guest panelist.

We had one of the first TV's on the block, a 10" Philco. It was about
1949 or 1950. I do remember Milton Berle and his sponsor Texaco.

"Huffing" spraycans is a well known drug abuse tactic that kills kids
every year. They favour deodorant spray because nobody questions them
buying the cans or having it in their room or bag.

My niece's ex-husband died from huffing aerosols. He'd go missing and
his wife, kids, uncles, and mother/father-in-law would have to hunt him
down. They'd find him passed out in his car with the windows up in the
parking lot of wherever he got his fix from. The guy had 3 kids. It was
quite a shock to find that this nasty addiction can last into adulthood.
OTOH, it's not surprising that he's dead.

The coroner was being nice to the family. It is called "huffing" and a
lot of teenagers have died from it.

I actually went to high school with a boy who died from "huffing". He
bought PAM (non stick spray), sprayed it into a plastic bag and inhaled
it. It killed him.

I don't know about coating ones self in deodorant (skin does have to
breathe, ya know). But yes, "huffing" is a real thing. I went to high
school with a guy who died as a result of spraying PAM cooking spray
into plastic baggies and breathing in the fumes. I sure hope that
"high" was worth it.

It was goop in a jar. Sort of like cold cream. You stuck your fingers
in it and rubbed it under your arm pits. Then you had to wash your
hands. With this bottle you just squeeze and poof! There's powder

I used to use an antiperspirant and wondered when my neighbour said they
were totally unnecessary. He got me hooked on Melaleuca products. I
tried the antiperspirant and the deodorant and switched to the latter.
Ironically, I get less arm pit perspiration when I do not use
antiperspirant.

Hot Springs, NM.

word.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth_or_Consequences,_New_Mexico

Originally named Hot Springs, the city changed its name to "Truth or
Consequences", the title of a popular NBC Radio program. In 1950, Ralph
Edwards, the host of the radio quiz show Truth or Consequences,
announced that he would air the program from the first town that renamed
itself after the show; Hot Springs won the honor. Edwards visited the
town during the first weekend of May for the next 50 years. This event
was called "Fiesta" and included a beauty contest, a parade, and a stage
show. The city still celebrates Fiesta each year during the first
weekend of May. The parade generally features area celebrities such as
the Hatch Chile Queen. Fiesta also features a dance in Ralph Edwards Park.

Carbon tet, though, is a miracle worker when it comes to removing certain stains
and gum from fabrics. You can still find it in some commercial carpet
cleaners...or if not the pure stuff, enough of the compounds to smell like it. And
it works great on stains.

I remember when I was young, thinking the smell of it was wonderful. But my
mom always kept it put away from our inquisitive snooping.

You have described it exactly right. We did not get a television until
1957. My father said that someday we would have color TV, and everyone
laughed at him. I remember going with my family to visit a cousin.
They invited us to see their new TV, and we were excited at the
prospect. Their TV was a very small rectangle with rounded corners, and
I can remember all of us leaning forward to watch it because the screen
was so small that it was difficult to see. They had rabbit ears for
reception--no cable, of course.

My wife's parents did not have a television until about 1970. It
certainly was not a financial problem because they all went to private
schools and summer camp and were sent on European vacations. Her father
thought television was a waste of time and would not have one in the
house. He relented after their kids had moved out. My mother in law
liked watching the old movies. He would occasionally come by to see
what was on but I don't remember him every sitting down and watching a
program.

Being hypersexual doesn't mean that everything one enjoys has a large or
any sexual component. Sure, when female athletes *happen to have* a pretty
(by my subjective judgement) face, I get more distracted from the athletic
aspect than some do, but I really like men's gymnastics, especially the
horse, and floor exercise. Your understanding of me is clouded by your
superstition.. The whole demon thing is just mocking your primitive beliefs.
