Nor did they have Rice-A-Roni.

“The San Francisco treat (Ding Ding!)”

I still LOVE the sourdough bowls with clam chowder….

yum!!!!!

Shush MontanaLady……….your making me hungry. :-))

Bad-ump bump.

Much better, Gweedo

No HBO on the flying saucers either.

and San Francisco was full of THEM

Cable car lines in Frisco started in the late 1800’s way before TV.

About the time early radio started using spark-gap transmitters, which could only transmit dots-and-dashes in Morse code.

“…To be where little cable cars Climb halfway to the stars!…”

THEM being???

see today’s Bloom County strip for explanation San Francisco is sure popular to get mentioned in two strips on the same day.

cable. HBO. get it? :p

“so, do they have satellite cars– with HD channels?”

Oh your not being Sirrius..lol

Go see Bloom County re: “THEM!”

I still say it’s Pelosis.

YUK!

“It seems to me that Loon and San Francisco would be a perfect fit.”

We’d be happy to have him. We’ve got a lot of odd ducks in San Francisco, but I’ve never seen a loon.

Of course, we also have a lot of coots, too, so you should drop in YOURSELF sometime, FishStix.

funny TGI!

I miss the bay area and especially SF. The job moved to the desert, and so did I

(sigh)

They have those on the cable cars? I’m so there.

I was in (San Fran) Frisco on a drizzly day, walking some of the hillier streets. You wouldn’t believe all the people who slipped and fell on their backsides, especially women in heels. It was downright dangerous. Those hills are steep!

Had a lot of great times in SF (and great times taking the ferry to Sausalito - more fun than taking the GG bridge - to eat at Houlihan’s. Then I bought my Chris-Craft. Days - and nights - on the bay. Aaggh - I need a time machine…)

(Confession: I never ONCE rode a cable car.)

Susan, nobody I know in town uses the term “Frisco”, but neither do I know anyone who’s really offended by it. Then again, most of the people I know are, like myself, transplants from other places, and the “Born-and-Raised” may feel more strongly about it. Do Philadelphians call their city “Philly”? Do Bostonians say “Beantown”? If they call themselves that, they probably don’t mind others using the term, but using “Frisco” generally marks you out as a tourist, and we have a love/hate relationship with tourists.

wasn’t Marni Nixon the singing voice for many of the actresses who couldn’t sing back in all those 50’s musicals?

Considering where they are, shouldn’t that be “Rice-a-Roz”?

^^ Oh, I forgot. The coot is mudhen-pecked.

Sounds like you left just when things started getting good. Which was cause and which was effect, I wonder?

Only comes with the family package…………………….
