tube fanatic Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 A friend sent me this picture to remind me about how I looked back in the old days (and used Wildroot Cream Oil by the quart which, to my amazement, is still available!): http://i.imgur.com/pxypMMe.jpg Now, of course, I have almost no hair on top of my head so I guess I can't be cool any more!

Ceptorman Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Yes he was, so was Steve McQueen. I think the coolest actor ever was Paul Newman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I am a young "kid" around here in my mid 40's, the mullet generation... https://www.google.com/search?q=mullet&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=aIQxVN27OeG1iwLv2IE4&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=626 OK, I now see why the world is falling apart. I think my generation has dropped the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tube fanatic Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) No question that James Dean epitomized "cool" back then. I found these commercials for Wildroot which will give everyone a good laugh: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilovJ1QiFZw They used to advertise that the stuff wasn't greasy. That's a joke. I can't count the number of times I ran my hands through my hair (helped me think about service solutions) and then tried to remove a tube only to have my fingers slip off of the glass! But, with it all, I really miss those days (especially servicing all of those Fisher, Scott, and other units when they were new!). There was a general sense of optimism which doesn't seem to exist any longer. Maybe it's just me being nostalgic.........
