pretty sure ch 11 has always been KGUL or KHOU

I imagine theres some middle aged engineers at NASA and Space X that would tell you their first interest in electronics and satellites developed at 3am while trying to find a satellite feed of the Spice Channel.

ah i forgot about those. didn't they always have that little baby cry at the end or something?

also...can you even buy a waterbed anymore???

HSE was in the low 20s I think.

I dated a girl in college that still had a waterbed. It was an experience.

"Ray! There goes that ClobberLine again."

About 6 and a half years ago, my wife and I were in NYC for our first anniversary. We were sitting at our gate in LaGuardia waiting to board our flight home, and Ray walked up to our waiting area. I pointed him out to my wife (who grew up out west) and said, "Hey, that's Ray Childress." She said, "The name sounds familiar..." I say, "Played for the Houston Oilers and the Aggies." She said, "Yeah, that doesn't mean anything to me." I say, "Clobberline guy?" She says, "OOOOHHH!! Yeah, I thought he looked familiar."

Then he came and sat down right next to me and we watched the NFL playoff game together. Then his wife walked up and asked him if he was ready to board. He said, "I was born ready" and got up. When we got on the plane, Ray and his son were sitting in first class; when we to got to our seats, his wife was sitting right across the aisle from us.

TLDR: Even people who don't know Ray know who the Clobberline guy is.

I bought a no-name car stereo here for my first truck. It had an auto-reverese cassette deck.

My husband still randomly sings "Buy your Chevrolet from Mike Persia, Mike Persia Chevrolet" . Has since the day I met him in 1966.

Cal Worthington and his dog spot !... (which in this commercial is a bear) ... (that he may or may not be feeding a beer)

Bit of Aggie context here.

Cal Worthington bought Richardson Chevrolet, which was at the NW corner of Hillcroft and 59; that was the entire tract bounded by the feeder, Hillcroft and Harwin. The "call Cal and his dog Spot" was a gimmick from Worthington's chain of dealerships in southern California; he'd wrestle lions, tigers, bears et cetera.

Richardson Chevrolet was owned by a guy by the name of Bernard, a devoted Aggie with long ties to GM. He took a big chunk of the cash that Cal and his dog spot paid and became the name sponsor for the north end zone facility at Kyle Field. I think his family still owns Knapp on Washington at Houston.

I believe his grandson is Jay Richardson. Involved in ministry in Haiti and helped bring the Aggie football team down there last summer for outreach work. Jay is a solid guy.
