I make cookies - I have been doing this for many years. But I guess that is not exactly silly or useless.

And yeah I CAN read upside down, but backwards is a bit of a challenge;

I am pretty good at hearing the first few notes of a song and then can tell you the title, before most would recognize it (expect maybe GNTLGNT having been a disc jockey) :beguiled:

I have hit & miss recall of commercials from years ago: You expect more from Standard, and you get it. There's something about an Aqua Velva man! You can trust your car! to the man who wears the Star! The big bright Texaco star! Rice-a-Roni! The San Francisco treat! How do you handle a hungry man? The Manhandlers! Or Toni: They're Gggggggreat! And...I can add those memories at the most inopportune times on message boards, high-level meetings, school board functions. And now, a word from our sponsors. Remember Jackie Gleason? Hair slicked back, all those brawds running around in feathers and boas? Cigarette in his hand? Didn't he sometimes push a product right on stage? Ralston Purina or something. Like I said, hit & miss. Consider the pine cone. Many parts are edible. Ole Euell Gibbons. Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. Piece of the Rock and all that.
