1. Strange to see television from the '90s...

...that now needs to be "windowboxed" to fit its 4:3 aspect ratio into today's 16 frame. Hard to remember that, not that long ago, that was the aspect ratio for television everywhere.

2. I had a friend

Who was given a small Coca-Cola Polar Bear sitting in that position. Over the course of several months, he had dozens, all given to him. He set them up in front of his television. This was 1995.
