@Alex Those aliens may have been on to something "Tomato plant originates from the family of Nightshade plants (potato, tobacco, chili peppers) from Central America.

Apropos of bumper stickers which used to be prevalent...

There used to be LOTS of bumper stickers which said:

I really wanted to commission a square sticker of the appropriate width and height, which just had a line-drawing rendition of a wood screw on a white background, which I could slap on top of those hearts.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:20am Doug Schulkind:

@Webhamster Henry
Those were the days when I was running the WFMU Record Fair. At Mary Help of Christian's, the ladies room plumbing had a tendency to back up. The pipes would then leak and start gurgling up through the floor tiles, right under the record dealer (Davie "Ozie" Ozenbaugh) with the most overloaded tables that I had to crawl under to swab up the mess of.

Ah, good times.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:26am Doug Schulkind:

Ab Baars sound like the name of a chain of fitness club/drinking establishments.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:26am Alex In Illinois:

@Jeff: I think someone actually did commission a screw mini-sticker to put over the heart part of the bumper sticker. I thought I saw an ad for them in the back of a magazine sometime in the 1980's. On someone's car, I actually saw the heart part covered by a sticker showing a picture of a spade.

You are correct, Doug. (Oh, good lord. Now Braxton's Parker!) BTW, this might have shown up on another program's comments yesterday, Sun Ra lecturing at Berkeley: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/harriet/2011/05/listen-to-sun-ras-berkeley-lecture/
