That’s what’s being discussed, it was Ted Cassidy, he worked in so many different series beyond The Addams Family(voicework in animated productions even), but it was always in a capacity that exploited his size/looks. But hey, it was a career. Poor guy died in his 40’s.
Then there was that fabulous dance craze…

What Michedelic said.

I know. Thanks to all who informed me too. A while ago, I had already refreshed the screen but after I posed my question and there it all was! I do like the Lurch Shindig.

Backwards. They should give away the "food" when you buy a BiC shaver.

When I studied Printing & Graphic Arts for 3 years in high school, i used an IBM Selectric typewriter to set up print copy.

These typewriters had a rotating ball with the letters and figures on it.

I learned to type on one of those in high school.

Chewing gum used to be wrapped with paper lined foil. Not anymore.

Are you sure? They may not use foil, but it sure acts like foil.

10 gb hard drive? Our first PCs at work were 286's with 40 MEGABYTE hard drives. Circa 1984.

Who said that investing carbon paper in 1990 was future proof?

That looks like Ted Cassidy, known as “Lurch” in The Addams Family, but I don’t recognize this character.

It is Ted Cassidy, and it looks like the mystery was solved.
I remember him most from Star Trek

They don’t make these picks anymore, and in the rare event you find any for sale, the prices are through the roof. (I have a well worn one I sometimes use on guitar)

That looks kind of vulgar

That looks kind of vulgar

It’s two picks connected offset.
Hits the strings twice. Sounds fuller.
Clean tones are more lush, distorted tones are grittier or fuzzier depending your settings.

The guitarist in one of my bands had one that was supposed to simulate the sound of a 12 string.

It had 3 shorter points on either side of the middle one, and sounded pretty convincing, but it was very cumbersome to use.

What a drag. He gets vaporized just after figuring out the equation from the”Old Ones”
This was one of my favorite episodes too.
