Before cocaine was declared illegal, its use in the late 19th Century was widespread and upfront.

Hilarity ensues because the abbreviation for cocaine is Coke, and so is the abbreviation for Coca-Cola

While drinking a bottle of Coke I will rub under my nose and say ?I do not have a problem. I can quit anytime.?

In Mel Brook's "Silent Movie" one of the charcters attempts to get a can of coke from vending machine. When he first outs a coin in, instead of coming out the front a can shoots out of the left side. On his next attempt it shoots out the right side. On his third attempt he tries to cover both side slots by wrapping himself around the machine, and so predictably we suddenly see his butt jerk backward as it comes out right in his crotch. Then the words come up (because it was a silent movie all lines came up as text screens) "They're right. It is the Real Thing."

Marcel Marceau began miming as a way to entertain the hundreds of Jewish children he saved as part of the French Resistance during World War 2.

I was too old for Pokemon, but I thought the designs were very imaginative.

A game I loved as a kid was Relievio. It was team hide and go seek. As the hiding team was caught they would be put in jail. If a free teammate then tagged them they could escape.
A ploy I used was to hide near the jail. As the seekers went in search I would go sit in the jail. When most of my team was caught and the seekers looking for the last guy, I would say that I was never caught and free my teammates.

My favorite neighborhood game was TV Tag. The person who was it couldn't tag you if you squatted down, touched the ground, and said the title of a TV show.

We had one called "ice Water". Whomever was it could touch you and say Ice, and you'd be frozen in place. But someone could save you by touching you and saying "water".
we often played it with more than one "it" to make it more balanced.

We go to the playground
In the wintertime
The sun is fading fast
Upon the slides into the past
Upon the swings of indecision
In the wintertime
In the dimming diamonds
Scattering in the park
In the tickling
And the trembling
Of freeze tag
In the dark
We play that we're actors
On a movie screen
I will be Dietrich
And you can be Dean
You stand
With your hand
In your pocket
And lean against the wall
You will be Bogart
And I will be
Bacall
And we can only say yes now
To the sky, to the street, to the night
Slow fade now to black
Play me one more game
Of chivalry
You and me
Do you see
Where I've been hiding
In this hide-and-seek?
We go to the playground
In the wintertime
The sun is fading fast
Upon the slides into the past
Upon the swings of indecision
In the wintertime
Wintertime
Wintertime
We can only say yes now
To the sky, to the street, to the night
We can only say yes now
To the sky, to the street, to the night
- "Freeze Tag," Suzanne Vega (1985)

So many people here have good taste. Joining LW in the first place is but one example of this.
"...not having to believe in a thing to be interested in it and not having to explain a thing to appreciate the wonder of it."

One of the best marks of good taste here, is that we all can appreciate different eras of the Legion. And we can critique each on its own merits.

The classic Star-Kist tuna commercials featured an animated tuna named Charlie (originally voiced by character actor Herschel Bernardi) who would go to great lengths to demonstrate his good taste so (rather morbidly) Start-Kist would be interested in catching him. The catchprase was: "Sorry, Charlie, Star-Kist doesn't want tunas with good taste; Star-Kist wants tunas that taste good."

In the Suikoden video game series, one has to recruit 108 Stars of Destiny to get the good endings.
