They must be playing in Williamsburg Va.
I just bought 2 boards a week apart from 2 different ladies who were downsizing within the past month.
They were made for tourists when Williamsburg was "restored" for tourists. Williamsburg Restoration Co. in conjunction with Virginia Metalcrafters made 1st quality reproduction wood and Brass items that were found in old Williamsburg in the past for the gift shops.
The board that came with WR&VM checkers (They're cool for being checkers.) and the board is stained where the checkers sat for years. These boards are 40+ years old so I'm ok with these.
The first purchased board is almost like new except for some scratches that aren't too bad to me. The second is like new except for the stains from the checkers.
Both were 20.00 ea. which is 1/10 of their worth right now give or take.
I also just bought a Swarovski "silver crystal chess set" in its case this morning that's just like new. I saw one in a passport shop crossing the Canada border 30 YEARS AGO and couldn't afford the 800.00 price. This was 200.00 today and I didn't ask for a reduction since the web has them A LOT higher.
This was a bargain to me.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -

Really?!? He's so deadpan uptight. That alone cracks me up.
Seemed like he was always just playing himself, but I say that only because I've only seen him in a handful of things, and he was always the same.
I liked Newhart for the few episodes I saw. That might've been more for Larry, his brother Darryl and his other brother Darryl, and that mean blonde bimbo woman. Poor Peter Scolari... he was the non-preferred Bosom Buddy.I disabled signatures. -

You should bring them back. Make millions. Make them sugar-free, though, so they'll be healthy.
Edt: wait, you actually just saw these? They're probably from 1980.I disabled signatures. -

Yeah, in a General Store on the square a couple towns over. I shoulda put my glasses on and looked for a copyright date or something. It does say “Original Recipe” on the front of the display box which makes me think they are current, but seems like it’d be illegal to manufacture them in today’s world.
Next time I’m passing through there I’ll stop in, ask what’s up and pick up a pack or two!

I wore that same toupee with my Halloween costume in 1978.
And also in 1979.
And in 1981, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1993, 1999, 2001, 2008, 2010, 2014, 2015, and 2021. -

Maybe they're arresting these guys for selling Edsels?
Or maybe it's just context for the rise of the compacts in the US ca.1960 -- of which the weirdest was Mopar's Valiant.

I did not know that Valiant originally launched as a brand a la... well... Edsel... or Saturn, or (more recently) Hummer or Ram or (heh-heh-heh) Bronco and Mustang.
