When I was little, about 6 or 7 I think, my friend Kyle did a commercial for Polar Beverages (local soft drink maker) and for payment they gave him tons of Polar Beverage products like soda and stuff. For a long time after that I thought that if you did a commercial you would get paid with whatever product you were sellng. Like if you did a Pizza Hut commercial you would get a lifetime supply of pizza, or if you did a car commercial, you would just automatically get to drive away in the car that was in the ad.

I'm so silly.

I'm not sure how silly you are, but you are a bit random....

Heh, I always thought that when a song was playing on the radio "live" the artist was actually at the radio station performing the song... I guess I was silly, too...

We've had several children hear someone sing a song at church, then hear it on the radio and tell their friends that the singer attends their church.... Wow Michael W. Smith goes to your church

I used to think all grandfather's first names were Paul, because that was the name of my mom's father, and everyone else also referred to their grandfathers as "grandpaul". I was surprised when I found out that my dad's father's name is actually Spencer.

- Paul

Chester Drawers.

'nuff said.

And I know everyone went through the "h-i-j-k-ellahminnopee" phase.

Errr... wasn't that the "h-i-j-k-ellamenno-Q" phase?

I think that may be just an Americanism? Certainly at my infant school there was no song for spelling , you just learned your Ah, Buh, Cuh and then progressed to Ay, Bee, Cee.

Could have been more fun with a rock beat, though.

What about the Peeee?

Well when little kids sing the song they tend to slur together L-M-N-O-P, and I used to think it was all one letter.

They used to have snickers candy bar commercials and a guy would close his hand (with peanuts in his hand) and upon re-opening it there would be this candy bar. Boy was my mom upset when she came into the kitchen and found peanuts eveywhere and my struggling in frustration trying to get my candy bar!

What about the Peeee?

Heh, it's running down my leg...

God, I haven heard that joke in 20 years.

Me, neither. deezy's post reminded me of it -- I thought that's what he was talking about.

Have you guys seen this?
