No billy clubs, please.... |
|
| |
where do they carry a badge? |
|
| |
Unfortunately, it will star William Conrad and Buddy Ebsen. |
|
| |
If they have no backside, they can do the mobius strip. |
|
| |
I hope they keep their socks on. |
|
| |
a cool, suave and disdainful talking car? |
|
| |
[rbl] "We don't need no stinkin'..." |
|
| |
But then there's the handcuffs, mace, etc.. Also note that they're terrible at undercover work. |
|
| |
[mrthingy] You forgot Phyllis Diller. |
|
| |
[po] I thought you liked yours sans socks. |
|
| |
depends where they put the socks... (cue for jokes about keeping the trunceon in the socks, etc) |
|
| |
oui, sans socks - but this lot need some protection when padding the mucky streets. bless 'em. |
|
| |
I bet thats not all their padding, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more. |

Ha! Don't forget Orson Welles or Ronald Reagan |
|
| |
Or Jason Alexander from Seinfeld fame. |

Wait a minute...William Conrad (Cannon, Jake and the Fat Man) owned a boat in the slip next to mine; Buddy Ebsen (Beverly Hillbillies, Baranaby Jones), once bought a painting from me; And Ronald Reagan (Actor, SAG President, Governor, US President) was a member of my Church Congregation...I almost met Orson Welles once when he was doing voice-overs and I worked for Foote, Cone and Belding, but I called in sick that day.....Did you guys just pick these names out of a hat? |
|
| |
Yes, and where do you think that hat came from? Don't even ask. Heh heh... |
|
| |
Thanks, snarfyguy...For several moments I was sure I was just being paranoid. |
|
| |
Quite simply, Mephista,a "kit" is an appurtenance to a "kaboodle". |
|
| |
I was just in Foote's office 2 days ago - They have an incredible amount of awards in Radio Advertising. |
|
| |
"Foote, Cone and Belding" that *has* to be the name of an idea surely? |
|
| |
(They used to be kind of semi-important in print and TV, too, Thumbwax...But that was a long time ago,and as encyclopedic as your memory is, TW, I wouldn't expect you to remember very many of the golden days before Chiat.) |
|
| |
Po...Foote, Cone and Belding was one of the world's major advertising agencies of an age, once upon a time,a long time ago. |
|
| |
you have to admit though, its one hell of a title for an idea. |
|
| |
Po...I'd post it, but I have no idea what it would be about. Rampant Foote diseases? Flocking Road Cones? or Belding radial-belted Automobile Tires that somehow respond to Pavlovian bell-dings?...Advise me.
I'm pretty sure that we covered all three at FCB at one time or the other. |

My recollection of them in that sense is on a tangent - I used to manage the distribution of Stock Photography and Illustration books for Tony Stone Images, Blackbook, Scott & Daughters, etc. from between 45,000 to upwards of 75,000 recipients. Some ad agencies got 132 copies, all the way down to some getting 1 or 2 - several times annually, we were the highest volume user of UPS worldwide. Regardless, they even had some shots of overweight strippers. |
|
| |
Somewhere around here I have one of your annual Blackbooks, TW., probably from 1974....An exceptionally well-done paean to the power of graphic arts in adverising, advertising illustration , photography, and , oh yeah, the occasional well-turned phrase. |
|
| |
Only Black Book I knew of back in 1974 was my Brothers little phone book - he was a Senior, I was in 8th Grade. |
