The Saturday Evening Post Rules

I guess this image effectively ushers in the A.J. "The Balls" Daulerio era at Deadspin.

I was visiting my parents this weekend with my sister Kate, her fiancee Matt (also here) and my other sister Hannah. I was a history major in college, and Matt is also a huge history buff/nerd. My folks brought out an old issue of The Saturday Evening Post (April 11, 1953), one that I had seen countless times in my youth for Matt to check out. However, it was in flipping through this old issue that I saw the above image.

I guess times were simpler in 1953. The ad wizards who came up with this one clearly overlooked a few chuckle-inducing aspects of the picture.

"Have More Fun" indeed.

Old Things Rule

Stick with this video. Trust me.

Do you like old things? How about Who's The Boss? The American Comedy Awards? A young Robin Williams? RAX? The Pittsburgh Pirates when they didn't suck quite as bad? Then this video is for you.

I'll excuse you if you decided you didn't like RAX. That place was awful awesome.

I think I had the free giveaway RAX Pirates jersey. It looks too familiar.

Below, here's a RAX commercial from this same era. Wow. Can't understand why that place went under.
