And have a "Learn the Bop" party with the gang!

Also, I am completely unable to squat like that. I'll never learn the Bop.

I don't remember this video game but I want to play it.

1920s/30s ad for Gold Dust cleanser

[booksandcheeses.livejournal.com]

This is a Yiddish-language ad for Gold Dust cleansing products.
At first, I didn't think it was genuine even though I found it in Yeshiva University's archives-- just because so much of what I sounded out seemed like phonetic English. But after running some of it by my Yiddish-speaking relatives, I learned that transliterating English words into Hebrew/Yiddish alphabet was not uncommon in ads back in the day. 

The top tagline says "A lecture from this superintendent for the co-operative tenants."



 If anyone wants to translate it, it pops big. :)
