The guy in the "Oh, no!" photo.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Yeah, when they took a pic of her, she was just a few years older than me. Now she looks old enough and wide enough to be my mother. =8-P

[Impy]

Thanks.

Ooo little did he know he shouldn’t have signed the rights away.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Aw, man. That pic would’ve been a goldmine for him had he not signed the rights away. It’s been used more than just a few dozen times alone by most of us.

[fieldmarshaldj]

With all that beer he drinks, his willie probably smells like Heinie.

[Rastus]

"Did someone mention me?"

[Rastus]

This is officially a really weird thread.

[Rastus]

Well they found the Indian? girl with green eyes who appeared on a magazine cover as girl. Perhaps there is still hope for Looty.

Remember this little sweetheart from the early days of the war?



I doubt if they'll have the same luck in finding her in the future.

[fieldmarshaldj]

In his case, he’d be saying, “Aw, Jeez... I packed that $hit again ! (And I lovvvvvvvved it !)”

[Impy]

I don’t think I’ve seen that pic.

I hope the little cutie is ok....

[sneakers]

LOL! Uh, care to rephrase that?

[niteowl77]

And we’ll never know what happens to Looter Guy.

Got outta rehab and went into the hospitality industry.

Mr. Niteowl77

[andyandval]

Lootie was last seen in N. Korea...

[BallyBill]

Oh Yes! guy..

Still Alive

[Shady Ray]

I actually heard he had taken a job in the public sector...

[mewzilla]

If it is his immortality is realized on FR.

Amen :)

Godspeed, Mr. Horne.

[McGavin999]

What a great looking man. I wish ad agencies still featured men who look like men instead of the woosie feminine types they have today. They don’t appeal to women, just to other men.

[Erasmus]

I've sometimes wondered why that noun in German is of feminine gender.

Oh, no! Typical ‘50s white guy! RIP, Mr. Horne.

The ads are just a reflection of what’s going on in society and apparently, men either act like Matt Damon or act like the dirty-haired Mac Boy.
