"WINKY DINK AND YOU...." Remember I'm THE oldest member of than you. Winky Dink was the beginning of interactive television. We would stick a translucent marker surface over the screen, and the narrator would prompt us. If Winky Dink needed a ladder, we drew a ladder; if he needed a boat, we...

Try standing on your head on a moving checkout conveyor, while demanding to be allowed to pay for your selected merchandise in Monopoly money. Then tell the employee at the cash register, "The customer behind me suggested that you wait to be paid until the fictional character of Alipang Havens...
