"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So many memories on that list of store logos, especially Bullocks and Robinsons.
My friend Rio was a child-model at the fancy flagship Bullock's. Wearing outfits and going from table to table where the ladies dined saying, "You can find this outfit in the Children's Department."

Hey, so can Spanish speaking 'ffistas give this set of Spanglish lyrics a once over to see if I and my cowriters are committing any egregious linguistic sins?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Two Cleveland Department stores were featured - Halle's and Higbee's. To the best of my knowledge I never went to Halle's. But Higbee's, well, that was THE place to go for Christmas - familiar to holiday movie afficianados as the location of the department store in "A Christmas Story". Plus it was in the Terminal Tower, so you more or less had to go through it to go anywhere in Downtown Cleveland if you used the Rapid Transit commuter light rail to get there.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Wow sarameg, that's well... the sad part is I'm not surprised he was doing it, I'm surprised they reprimanded him at all. IME undergrads bringing sexual harassment claims against famous professors tends to penalize the student, not the professor. He must have been egregious for them to have found in the students' favor.
(Okay, I may be a little bitter about it.)
We, or well some of us, are supposed to go to JPL tomorrow. But it's going to be stinky hot. Ugh.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
One of sarameg's links mentions the loss to the scientific community when harassment drives women out of the field. That's sadly one of the few times I've seen that brought up. It's awful for the women involved, but the field they stop working in also loses their intelligence, skills, and perspectives. People who claim to be all about the science and not about preserving a rotten power structure should be more up in arms about this. But, no, we usually hear "Let's not let a few unfortunate incidents cloud his scientific achievements." Such bull.
ETA: Those tots look delicious!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Oh! I forgot, during the outage yesterday morning I meant to ask astronomically-inclined Buffistas if that was Mars or Jupiter between the moon and Venus just before sunset. It made for a very striking image, just the three visible in the lightening sky.
