    I have the issue from summer 1977 with Disneyland's newest attraction, Space Mountain, on the cover. The headline? "Space Mountain, the most incredible attraction in 22 years!"

    "Here's a much stranger ad"

    That was cute. Maybe too cute...

    That summer, I used to listen to the California Angels post-game show on the radio, just so I could hear the Space Mountain commercials.

    Disneyland always sponsored the Angels post-game shows.

    Yeah, I noticed that too, and had a chuckle.

    Yes, I've been seriously dating myself since I was twelve or so. I'd go out, with me, to a nice meal and maybe a movie. Then I'd go home and have a nice bit of intimacy....

    That's what you meant, right?
