mr_me Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I remember George Plimpton as a credible writer and journalist until he sold out to do those Intellivision commercials. Those commercials really worked convincing us to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Rick Reynolds Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Yep. We've never used this on the show (never brought it up to Paul) but Jonathan Coulton did a song about George's life that's kinda poignant. I like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it. Nice tune. No reference to Intellivision though. If I ever included that in the podcast people would think we've gone all new age / didactic about positivity.
