Listener Submission: Cigarette Mash

Hey Boris I heard you talking about the old Cigarette Mash commercial that ran back in the 80's. I found the commercial in this video of a commercial break from WPIX in New York. I bet you were watching this when it was live just like I was eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Thanks for the great show every morning!

Kid harpist plays Star Wars cantina theme

E.T. found in Berkeley Heights

Here's another find from Google Maps street view. This time, it's E.T. the Extra Terrestrial. Someone spotted this strange beam of light and what looks like E.T. sitting in a field next to it. I don't know who these people are who scour Google Maps finding drunks, dead deer and aliens. All I've ever found on street view was a huge truck blocking the bar I was trying to get directions to in NYC.
