Dude you're single handedly carrying the Lemmy meme community and I appreciate it.

It’s hard to imagine a time when you could smoke a cigarette on a talk show.

How about the foil McDonald’s ash trays with the logo stamped in them.

My wife still has Xmas ornaments she made as a kid out of them. And none of her family ever smoked.
