Thanks for this! Really got me laughing, as it would anyone my age who remembers when this first came out!

Remember the Woolworth's lunch counter? Back when I was the age of 5 to 7 or so, this was considered fine dining

Plural form of bushel

noun​

1. A dry measure, containing 8 gallons or 4 pecks.
2. A vessel of the capacity of a bushel.
3. An indefinitely large quantity. [Colloq.]

It just struck me reading through the past few pages of this thread that a 10th of a bushel is a decibushel (dB).


I'll be going now.

I/we liked W.T. Grants' lunch counter better, FWIW.
Note that the dinner appears to have been a far better value than the pie... but they clearly knew their market.

I was walking around the Bode Museum in Berlin when two teenage girls walked up to a statue and said something in German. I could pick up "Princess Bride". They both laughed and walked away. I walked up to the statue and ... well, what do you think? Does he look like Inigo Montoya?

There was a great record and book store when I went to school here in B-burg (1969-73) and I loved looking through the bins and regularly bought LPs and then hit the SF shelves. I miss the perusing of the bins, but not the aggravation now of dealing with changing records. Nostalgic, just not for me anymore.

I still* have a fair amount of living space devoted to the licorice pizzas -- but, I, too, find that I seldom feel like investing the effort required to actually listen to one of them.

Sold all of mine a while after we moved here in 2004. Didn't feel like storing them anymore since I definitely wasn't going to be setting up another TT and playing them again. No regrets at all.

There is no manual, but we offer free trial and error.

Here, the storage part is already a sunk cost, so to speak.
