From: RockyTo: FelixSubj: Wag’s Hey Felix, Up until the early 80’s, there was a Wag’s restaurant in the Merchandise Mart – it was owned by Walgreens (hence “Wag’s” – also note logo font) and was a knockoff Denny’s. There was a big counter where everyone had breakfast – and stirfry, I guess. Rocky
From: JulietTo: FelixSubj: Linkits did a quick google search. looks like maybe linkits were sold more in the uk than here. lots of people from uk selling “vintage” linkits on e-bay. congratulations on your early fame, though. you look so happy playing with your linkits! –juliet

Since today is 3.14, Happy Pi Day everybody!
Hope you had a few good laughs with these commercials. I’m back on task, and planning to resume daily updates of the blog. Just… give me some more time, and I’ll eventually get caught up with the past week. See you tomorrow. :)
Some time after the Linkits commercial, our family got tapped to go do this thing for Wag’s – some sort of restaurant chain. I had never heard of it, but we drove to Chicago (I think), and got put up in a hotel for a night. This wasn’t just me this time, but our entire…
I’m not sure how it started, but my family got involved in commercials for the briefest of moments. I wish I knew the circumstances that brought this about, but somehow we have two commercials to our name. This first one just has me in it. I got tapped to play… of all things, an eskimo….
Last week, Mike mentioned that he had an old VHS tape he wanted to convert into a DVD. It was a fully copy of the Bozo the Clown show, circa the 1980’s I think. He was on the show, and participated in a big Tug-O-War contest towards the end of the episode. Success! Chris was…
Jennifer joined us yesterday in the office. She’s technically working for Cliff doing Accounting stuff, but because of some of the space limitations at the station… she got a desk back in our area, temporarily. So – she has to endure all our loud music and nerdy jokes. And my requests for photos. And this…
Well, sort of. I know it’s been slow on the blog front lately, but for good reason. Lots of social activity for me the past week… with tons to tell you about. I have a solid week of pictures and stories to recreate, and I hope you’ll bear with me as I slowly get caught…
I hung out with Liz tonight, and got to meet her bunny – Baxter. She let her loose for a bit, so she could run around the living room. I snappeda few photos, and just a little bit of video.
Quick self-portrait in Gretchen’s hotel room, the morning before she leaves. She’s been here this whole weekend, and I’m still in shock that she travelled all this distance just to come andcelebrate my birthday with me. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Gretchen rocks!
Gretchen, on her cab ride home last night, met a cool taxi driver who recommended a restaurant to her: Continental Cafe. Gretchen had spent a good deal of time in Romania, and so she got along smashingly with her driver… and he raved about the restaurant. So – me, Abby and Gretchen headed over for…
I wanted to be a good host today, but my body was dragging after last night. After a quick (and all too short) nap, I made plans to grab some sushi with Gretchen and Abby over at Bob San. After a long wait (it was pretty packed, as it was Saturday night and I hadn’t…
