Ramblin' Rod? Of course! But does anybody remember "Bumpity?" A frosty cold one to anybody who can stroll down that dark alley, just off memory lane.

My grandmother's (still working) microwave is at the end of the commercial! I'd hope the person putting that page together is able to find and post the classic "Wake up! Hey, Wake up! Who? Who?" Tom Peterson commercials of old. Also, for a double-dose of "inside Portland", you can sometimes find Tom Peterson commercials, or the man himself, appearing in Gus Van Sant films. - Bob R.

History as well as some actual video: <a href="http://platypuscomix.cartoonsdammit.com/fpo/history/ramblinrod.html" rel="nofollow">http://platypuscomix.cartoonsdammit.com/fpo/history/ramblinrod.html</a> Dig it! It's the same site as the video page I listed above. Whoever's behind this is making me all kinds of happy right now. Sadly I can't find any other video except one on Amazon for a hundred bucks.
