Hey,
For all of you other old guys out there, does the Government still put out pamphlets from Pueblo Colorado? Remember when you were kids and it seemed like the answer for getting info on something was to write to Pueblo, Colorado for an information pamphlet.

I actually ran across one from 1972 and could not stop laughing.

Maybe it has been replace by the internet. Sighhhhhhhhhh. Those were the days.

Finally found it. It is now a web site so it still exists, but they use to all be government written and paid for pamphlets on all sorts of topics. Health/Medical, how to buy a car, how to get a loan, sex education and some crazy topics like "How to survive a nuclear attack - just duck and cover". Back in the late 50's, 60's, and early 70's they use to always advertise these at school and on TV.

I saw a copy in a Doctors office recently, so I don't have a hard copy.

You would send a letter to a government building in Pueblo, Colo. to order it. It was kind of like a joke when I was a kid. How did your room get so messy? Well Mom, I order a pamphlet from Pueblo, Colorado on how to mess up my room. I am going out on a date, I had better order a pamphlet.

Crap I'm getting old.

My brain clicked when Caged Anger asked about the Stock info. My thought was "maybe Pueblo, Colo. has a pamphlet".

Bizzare how the mind works huh.
