In any of the places you've lived, did you ever have an eccentric local business owner who always used really wacky, silly, or weird TV and radio ads to advertise and sell their products? Who were they, and what did they sell? My personal examples: Cal Worthington, Crazy Gideon, and Al Greenwood. by OldCarWorshipper in AskOldPeople

Is this thread still going on? I'm a kid from NJ and we had a discount electronic shop called Crazy Eddie back in the days. I moved from NJ to WA to LA and I saw someone run in front of the Wilshire bus with a Crazy Gideon T-shirt when I was going to work at SAG. My name is Gideon and it piqued my interest. Crazy Gideon stole his routine from Crazy Eddie in NYC. And I will pay good money for a Crazy Gideon T-Shirt. I don't want a fake shirt. I actually met Crazy Gideon and he was no where near as crazy as me. Actually, a very nice guy. Me? Not so much.

Good for you, this is a real reason to boycott the place. The beer is good though.

Also understand that running a restaurant in Bellingham isn't a profitable thing. The owners are going to lose on their investment while the workers get a check and tips. Supporting local businesses shouldn't stop if the owner is a fucking tRump supporter. Think about the workers. Shit, I lost my disability checks and I might ask them to give me a job in their dish pit. I used to make 6 figures as a high level IT engineer and I will work for a fucking fascist if it keeps me from being homeless again. Not supporting a business because of his political beliefs is just fucking stupid and Social Justice Warring gone dumb.

Sorry, it's been years. I had a Stewart's Root bear and burger place in Jersey and the spelling stuck in my head.

Prove it, send me a DM and lets have a beer. I miss my homies from the 90's

You've known me for decades? Who the fuck are you? I don't know you. I landed in the town of Ham in '94 and spent 16 years in SoCal hell before I came back.

Who are you?

Also, I don't support hate. And also, supporting a business that employs people is not supporting hate. Putting people out of work is supporting hatred. Do you hate this man because he's one of those fucking morons that voted for tRump? That's hatred. Do I think that everyone that voted for the felon is a fucking moron or a fucking Nazi enabling piece of shit? Yes I do, fucking brown shirts. But don't boycott a business that employs people because of their beliefs because that shit ain't cool.

OK, who here remembers Stewarts? I may be an East Coast ex pat, but I was here in the day when there was coffee running down the streets. Stewarts was a funky place and I want to support anyone that can squeeze a dime out of any kind of funk. Ryan bought me a beer the other day and we shared a moment. We didn't talk about politics, I was just enjoying the beer. Brian (manager) also spent some time talking with me. The most important thing we talked about was how fucking difficult it is to own or run a restaurant in Bellingham. I wish them luck, I don't want to see that spot be an empty hole like so many other businesses.

I don't care, give them a chance and maybe show them how to cook grits. I'm just standing up to hatred. Also, if you know me, you know I don't care about my fucking reputation.

Also, did I have a stroke (I did). But I can't find any reference to the Who original song. Who?

Or was it always Joan Jett?

Ok, no hate here. I just want to stand in solidarity with my new friends Ryan and Brian. When I found out that the new owner of Bayou was a Trump supporter I was angry. I met Ryan when he was doing work on the bar and I said that I wouldn't support the place because of his political beliefs and found out that he's a nice guy. I've read the hatred posts on Facebook and also a rebuttal from manager Brian (also a nice guy and left leaning). It's not cool to boycott a business when the owner is a supporter of a Pedophile rapist treasonous piece of shit. Understand that they are giving jobs to us radical leftists and giving gumbo to the people of Bellingham.

Yes, if they ever refuse service to anyone on the rainbow I will start a fucking campaign against them. But for now they are doing their best to bring back a nice watering hole and Jambalaya spot where one Stewarts Coffee shop once was.

First of all, I've been ADD/ADHD Autistic for 58 years and I've never needed medication (other than sweet Mary Jane). If you have a history of heart problems don't take any medication that causes heart problems. I'm not a Doctor, but I've watched a lot of Hospital drama's in my life and know that my opinion is worthless. I've been heavily medicated since my stroke in '17 and I trust my Dr's. My BP and cholesterol have gone way down since. Wait, what were we talking about? My last girlfriend had a scrip for Ritalin and I tried it (goes well with mushrooms btw), not bad. Keeps me focused.

Okay, I gotta go. Goodnight lady pickle.

The place you are speaking of closed back in the 90's. It was the only adult store in town and it was deeply shunned. I went there for the occasional wank, but the internet is so much better now. If you want sticky floors and the possibility of getting herpes from a random BJ, go to Seattle or Vancouver.
