No more "go see Cal... and his dog spot"

[PLAYER57832]

For those in the Western US, of an age...

Cal Worthington, aka "Go see Cal, Go see Cal, Go see Cal, and his "dog" spot" died.

For those not from there, he had a series of late night TV spots to sell cars. He would trot out with his "dog". His "dog" was a chimp, a giraffe, a lion, even an Orca.. anything BUT a dog.


Example of his late night commercial.

I remember watching it while in 'Nam and he had a Yoshi.

The tiger bit him, the bear bit him, the cougar tried to bite him. He's lucky he wasn't mauled.

I would be nice to be able to find good looking used cars for under two thousand dollars. Of course that was probably a lot of money then.

Remember a lot of those commercials during Roller Derby and Wrestling. Those were the day's.

I can't tell... is this a Cal Golden Bears vs. Washington Huskies rivalry thread?

Bollocks.

[2dimes]

It can be.

[Serbia]

Good. I find it to be much more fun that way.

Bollocks.
