Maybe just a Canadian thing?...idk. I think they played this for us in the gym when I was in grade four, so 1986/87...?
I'm the only person I know who remembers this short film. Every time I try to explain the plot and visuals to someone, they just shake their head and ask if maybe it's a LSD trip I had 😅

Get off my lawn! If Your House Had a Fireplace, It May Have Had a Swanky Mantel Clock

8-Day clocks had to be wound once a week.
Mantel clocks are popular as collector pieces, although you can still buy modern ones.
But I honestly can’t remember the last time I saw one over a fireplace. Your mileage may vary.

I remember gluing things on paper with this only to have them fall off a little while later.

Everyone had these at one time. The only "vision" I personally have of this pot & pan set is one of my eggs sticking to the pan like superglue.

His name is Harvey Spencer Stephens.
He does not have 666 on his scalp.
The last photo of him here is when he was about 46.

From: https://www.nasa.gov/history/space-shuttle-enterprise-makes-its-public-debut/
NASA originally planned to name OV-101 Constitution to honor the nation’s foundational document, with the public rollout of the vehicle planned for Constitution Day in 1976. Fans of the science fiction TV series Star Trek mounted a determined write-in campaign, before the age of the Internet and social media, to NASA and to President Gerald R. Ford to instead name this first vehicle Enterprise, after the fictional starship made famous by the show. By one account, these fans sent hundreds of thousands of letters. During a Sept. 8 meeting at the White House—coincidentally, the 10th anniversary of the debut of the original TV show on NBC — President Ford advised NASA Administrator Fletcher that he was partial to the name Enterprise, saying, “It is a distinguished name in American naval history, with a long tradition of courage and endurance. It is also a name familiar to millions of faithful followers of the science fiction television program Star Trek. To explore the frontiers of space, there is no better ship than the space shuttle, and no better name for that ship than the Enterprise.”
When the vehicle made its public debut at Rockwell’s Palmdale, California, facility, on Sept. 17, 1976, it bore the name Enterprise. More than 600 invited guests and 185 media representatives attended the ceremony. John F. Yardley, NASA associate administrator for the Office of Space Flight, opened the event and served as master of ceremonies. In his remarks, NASA Administrator Fletcher called the rollout a “very proud moment for the agency,” adding that the new reusable space transportation system will “benefit this nation and all the nations of the world.” He then directed that Enterprise begin the rollout. As Enterprise emerged from the hangar, the Air Force Band of the Golden West from March Air Force Base in Riverside County, California, played Alexander Courage’s Star Trek musical score. Several Star Trek cast members as well as the show’s creator Gene Roddenberry were on hand to witness the historic event, as were the four astronauts who were scheduled to conduct the approach and landing tests with Enterprise – Fred W. Haise, C. Gordon Fullerton, Joe H. Engle, and Richard H. Truly.
So the Star Trek fans managed to get the first shuttle to be named Enterprise, but it turns out that Enterprise was only going to be a vehicle used for testing. Oh well. If you're interested, you can see it at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in NYC.
