[Ronald S. Jr.]

and one twentieth of the way to being made of goooooooooold. ;-)

Seems like you've been here forever! I've seen a lot of good stuff from you, and hope to see more! Good luck.

[liza]

Good news! You're 1/5th of the way instead of 1/10th. You only have to have 500 posts before becoming "Nude and Glamourous."

Somehow, I'm having a hard time picturing that... :o ;)

[Michaelmjc]

Congratulations, and how bout we leave the clothes on?:lol:

[lakiluno]

how many posts do I have...

oh, 167? how did that happen? I really should get an avatar so I don't look like such a new member... :D

From what I've always understood, it's 1000 posts and three months member. Did that recently change in the rules? I won't bother looking through them again.. It was 1000 for me. I remember right after my 1000th, it automatically allowed me.

[liza]

Check the sticky in the thread. It must have changed.

[jgjulio]

Mine automatically changed when I reached 500 posts.

[lakiluno]

hmm...I don't think I have a particular need to become nude and glamourous.

but what avatar shall I grow?

[rcanzano]

500 - Wow! Now I'll be Nudier and even more Glamourous-ier, even sooner. Not that I have any ready to post, But some day I will, oh yes, someday, I, will.

How much would you expect to post for the all new Ronco Nude and Glamour privledge? 5000? 3000? Not 2500, or 2000, Not even 1000 or 900, Not 800, not 700, not even 600. How about 500 POSTS!!!! (shots of audience members calapping and saying wwwwooooowwww)

Those in the states will understand Ronco, creator of the Pocket Fisherman and the Showtime Kitchen Rotisserie and all of the other wonderful TV infomercial products.

Wasn't he responsible for the Mr. Microphone. "Hey baby, I'll be back to pick you up later"

Sorry, feeling a little wordy today. Heaven help the readers of todays posts . . . I apologize)

[Ronald S. Jr.]

I don't know how many dozen times I've watched the Showtime Kitchen Rotisserie infomercial. I don't even try to change the channel, that's the scary part. :confused:

Somehow, I'm having a hard time picturing that... :o ;)

I'm afraid I'm finding it way, way too easy and I'm not feeling happy about that at dinner time :shock: :shock: :shock:

That brings back memories (LOL). But wasn't it "Hey good looking, we'll be back for you later?"

[Ronald S. Jr.]

Oh I'm sure it does...it's all because of the "flavor injector" ;-)

No, really, it does look like it'd make some gooood chicken. :-)

[SuzyView]

rcanzano, congrats on your moving up in the POTN! I didn't know the nude thing was a requirement. I want my money back!

I just got on this morning, the threads I miss when I'm traveling. I'm going to have keep up with you guys. Here's to lots more posts. You are really funny.

I don't have a huge amount to say, but I want to know my post count without finding a previous post...

Anyway, good luck on your 500 post makeover :D - I don't think 500 posts turns you into prince charming though, I was always aware that was something photoshop did.

and don't die

Ok, couldn't help but try to look up the actual "Mr. Microphone" quote. I found this funny little blog someone had posted. I did edit the language.

Where Have You Gone, Mr. Microphone? - Blog Day Afternoon
Posted by Jeff (Wednesday April 16 2003 @ 11:20PM EDT)

Ron Popeil has "invented" a lot of •••• for your kitchen. His company markets a small rotisserie oven for a white trash buffet in your very own home. He sells a dehydrator for ridding food of pesky moisture and a sausage maker for people with their own ... I don't know, pigs? Popeil has cured baldness with hair in a spray can. And in 1979, he cured the common zit.
As part of a program to teach mathematics, science and grammar, we were forced to take health class in high school. Part of that instruction concerned skin care. Rather than bore you with detail, I'll summarize the conclusion. I quote, "Douche bag, you're NEVER gonna get laid with a zit on your face." This was not well recieved as I was the Fry Guy at Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers. Enter Ron Popeil.

In 1979, Popeil's company, Ronco, marketed a product named Mr. Microphone. This name was chosen over Mr. Douchebag, since it was a microphone and not a feminine hygiene system. Mr. Microphone plugged into a common radio and turned a common schmo into a sex magnate. As the commercial demonstrated, getting laid was as simple as cruising the street and dictating your intentions to hapless pedestrians. "Hey, good-looking, we'll be back to pick you up later!" Ah, yeah. Chicks dig assertiveness. Zit, schmit. Mr. Microphone was the ticket to a bedroom full of many beautiful ladies.

Skeptics may doubt the effectiveness of Mr. Microphone as a cure for common acne. But I can attest to the fact that I never had a Mr. Microphone yet my bedroom was never filled with many beautiful ladies. Coincidence?

I don't think so.

In the Ronco ad, the guy lurking the streets for babes was perched in a convertible, presumably to help dry his Hair-In-A-Can. If Popeil had placed the ad on contemporary TV, the hapless loser would probably be seen in a Honda Civic with a lot of •••• welded to it.

I'm not sure when this happened, but a subset of humans have begun taking Honda Civics and turning them into Honda Civics with a lot of •••• welded to them. Since Civics are not noted for their smooth ride, these same humans have started equipping them with low profile tires for added discomfort. Matt tells me this is called "tricked out." I call it BUTT STUPID.

Tricked out Honda Civics are supposed to be race cars. (Well they have a lot of racing decals.) The theory holds that an inexpensive Honda with $20,000.00 worth of accessories can be converted into something with absolutely no re-sale value. On the plus side, the insurance company will provide you with a check for $6,000.00 in the event that your $26,000.00 piece of •••• gets totaled. Happy motoring.

I wish I did own a Mr. Microphone. While my wife would frown if I stalked women on the street, that product could serve me well despite a now pimple-free face. When a tricked out Honda Civic pulls beside me at a street light with loud exhaust and heavy bass. I'd grab Mr. Microphone and shout, "Hey good buddy, THAT'S A ••••••• HONDA CIVIC!!!!"

[rcanzano]

Oh No . . . Now I've found more . . . and a picture too.

From Rich C. - When did Mr. Microphone come out?

Mr. Pop History

Sometime around late 1978, but the TV airwaves came alive with Ronco's Mr. Microphone in 1979.

Who could forget that 70's guy exclaiming "Hey good looking, we'll be back to pick you up later." Mr. Microphone was actually a low-power FM modulator, but through the magic of Ronco advertising, the device was turned into a hip tool to pick-up girls. The only problem with this commercial: you had to know what station the receiving FM radio was tuned to, so you could infiltrate their radio. Getting the frequency just right would have taken much insight and tuning time. Oh well, it's only TV. It's one of the classic commercials of the 1970's.

[Ronald S. Jr.]

I happen to be the owner of a Mr. Microphone. The ball thing on top is gone, but I still have it. :-D

[rcanzano]

So, have you gone back to pick anybody up?

[condyk]

I can attest to the fact that I never had a Mr. Microphone yet my bedroom was never filled with many beautiful ladies. Coincidence?

I don't think so.


Well Big Man, I reckon those two posts alone contain more 'postworthy' real estate than any 200 randomly selected 'How sharp is my duck?' shots. Seems to me you should be much closer to Glamour Heaven than ever before. I also reckon you have a pitch for a 'major US motion picture' on your hands. Could be time to put the back yard Glamour Shed on the back burner ;)

I happen to be the owner of a Mr. Microphone. The ball thing on top is gone, but I still have it. :-D

How does the lack of a ball thing impact of it's reputed girl grabbing potential? Still potent or somewhat tarnished?

[Ronald S. Jr.]

Oh, quite tarnished. Something about that ball on top that just makes the girls go wild! :p

[BottomBracket]

Dang this thread is so funny. I just read the whole thing ad now I'm in stitches.

[rcanzano]

"Glamour Shed" now that's funny!! I think the place has a new name. :lol:

That'll bring in the clients . . . Maybe I could drive the streets with the Mr. Microphone saying . . .

"Hey Baby, want to come to my place and take some pictures in the Glamour Shed!"

I think I'll have to lay down some orange shag carpeting and some wood paneling on the walls to complete the sheer skank of it all.

[wrphhi]

That ought to work. :lol: The only problem is getting a Mr. Microphone. Checked E-Bay ... none for sale. What a bummer. But if you want to relive the good ol' days, here's a link to the sound bite. http://www.angelfire.com/retro2/lisanostalgia/70sbuyme.html Scroll down for the bite.

[rcanzano]

Now that's funny. Don't you love the internet! Mr. Microphone, pictures and sound bites. You know this is what they had in mind when they invented the world wide web.

[wrphhi]

Got that right. Thanks for the initial Mr. Microphone reference. The funny thing is that my wife and I had somehow brought up that commercial a couple days before your post. I guess great minds think alike.
