Remember how the old ones smelled? And it was such a special occasion when it arrived, particularly the Christmas issue.

Sears Catalog

I can only remember it smelling old and musty, when it was sitting out in the outhouse for emergency, but it made good reading while you were waiting for something to happen.

I ordered my first 3 speed spyder bike out of a sears catalog when I was 12. Of course I had to work on our farm and the neighbors farm to earn the money to pay for it. But it was a great bike to ride back then. Even in the stores the catalog had that smell to it. But no one cared they just wanted to order something from big book.

I can't tell. I'll have to try all four. In the interest of saving time, I'll try two of them at a time.
That should probably average out to what, 18 seconds each ?

You said remember how the old ones smelled, along with a picture of females. Do you get it now?

That Sears catalog...

...was what dreams were made of!!! :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: I remember looking at the toy section - really - for hours and turning down the pages, circling the ones I really wanted and then tearing out the pages so "Santa" would know exactly what I wanted. BTW - did anyone buy a house from the Sears catalog?

C'mon: reach for the Stars! :2thumbs:
Go for all four at once... :bowdown:

We'll even pay to put, "Hold my beer, and watch this!"; on your memorial stone!

It will take three morticians four weeks to get the smile off my face.

Tell them to leave there: you earned it! :thumbup:
Besides: it'll drive the archeologists NUZ in about 10 million years.... :roflblack:
