    For the Go Getting Drunk


    Wow, what can I say about this except does anybody still use these? It's pretty funny that the ad centers on men here, no dames allowed. My dad was a travelling salesman, he must have known guys with these.



    It's weird but when I look at what a generation before me considering essential travel equipment, I can't help but feel like less of a man. I spend my business travel drinking two generic beers (actually liquor makes my tummy sad) before falling asleep with a documentary on TV.

          I don't believe you can take those on a plane anymore...no biggie, real men travel by train so they can fight on the roof as it goes through tunnels.

            Although I fear a lengthy post by huedell defending it's merits, this reminds me of the liquor brief case Richard Pryor uses in Superman III.

                Those are Just Fantastic. I've aways wanted one. I saw one in the window of a Cigar store about 6 years back. I was in a hurry so I figured I'll get it the next time I come through. We'll I came back and it was gone. I actually forgot about wanting one till now. Thanks LOL

                  My dad had one of these. He wasn't much of a drinker, so he only brought it out a couple of times a year. When he'd go to a party held by an organization he belonged to. I think the same bottle of vodka stayed in it all through the 70s.
