You mean Ron Popeil. What does it mean if a man is "an invented."

I'm not sure, but I think Ron Popeli picks up my garbage.

Yea, I think faster then I can type. Ron is an American Icon and as I said the father of informercial. He has made many fortunes in his life, lost them on an invention that fizzled and when ahead and invented something else, that worked made a fortune, and the beat goes on!

And let us not forget -- he also invented Lugnut, although he was originally called Veg-O-Matic. Now let me go see about that toaster. [sm=badbadbad.gif]

It's interesting to see how these threads evolve.... this went from the new Pope to the end of days, with a few personal attacks thrown in, and ended up discussing the merits of the Ron-co grill guy. Just "set it and forget it"
