No, I'm not talking about Frag, which got so loud during a convention playtest session that security was called. Nor is the topic Nanuk, a game that inevitably involves everyone shouting at the deck at least once.
Here's some fun design from a 50s Cheerios Kid commercial.Besides the design, the other thing I like about old animated commercials is that they tell a story.I like how the real kid accepts the magic of a little super elf that inhabits his cereal.An adult probably wouldn't buy it.Man, look at him shove that stuff into his maw."Thank Heaven for little animated imps who tell me what to eat!""I can

I am an undying champion of Winnipeg, Manitoba's Weakerthans. There are enough current songwriters capable of spinning complete yarns about colorful, defined characters in 4-minute pop structures to count on one hand, and John K. Samson gets the pointer finger.
The band's most recent effort, Reunion Tour, is a dense pack of understated gems, mostly about characters dealing with slow and undramatic disappointment, but with genuine humor and warmth in place of the judgment and pity that usually plagues the form. Civil Twilight is a bouncy rock tune sung from the perspective of a Winnipeg bus driver reflecting on a long past divorce. Bigfoot, based on the true story of a man in Northern Canada who became the subject of ridicule tourism for a run-in with the Sasquatch which, ridiculous or not, truly terrified him. "Sun In An Empty Room" is the standout among standouts in the collection.
PS Our sister site Newstalgia has something loud for Labor Day: Humble Pie from 1973.

my copy of The Brothers Karamazov has a "Mlllennium Library" jacket on it. i guess that means i am in receipt of stolen goods.

That's seems pretty accurately Seinfeld
