I like it's crunchiness. Did you ever notice in old movies that there's always a celery dish on the table? It used to be a staple for every dinner!

George Carlin was what drew me. I'm not sure what I thought of the show itself but I was watching it religiously within a few weeks.

RIP Diane Keaton
My favourite picture of her where everyone else is giving it their best Blue Steel & she looks like she’s just wandered in off the street looking super cool.
She was allowed to wear her own clothes & her wonderful personality shines out.
What a unique talent & human being.

I do rather like radishes if they're not too hot.

Luckily for me, my mom had her own food hatreds so she sympathized with us. We never had to eat cooked spinach because she hated it.

I could not agree more! I used to take my mom out to Sunday dinner and when we got our salads, I'd immediately give her my onions and she'd give me her cucumbers.

Replace these “wireless telegraphs” with smartphones, update the dress a little, and this vision of "isolating technology" from a 1906 issue of Punch magazine could easily be from today: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/a-vision-of-isolating-technology-from-1906
