Pretty Polly Possum what's wrong with you?
Your body's kinda weak
and you think there's nothing we can do
Good Golly Polly shame on you
Cause Molly made a stew that'll make a newer girl out of you
So follow me, its good for you
That good old fashioned Medicated Goo
Ooo, ain't it good for you?
My own homegrown recipe'll see you thru
Freaky Freddy Frolic had some, I know
He was last seen picking green flowers in a field of snow
Get ready Freddy, they're sure to grow
Mother nature just blew it
and there's nothing really to it I know
Aunty Franny Prickett and Uncle Lou
They made some Goo
Now they really sock it to their friends
Frantic friends and neighbors charge the door
They caught a little whiff
Now they're digging it and seeking more
My brother-in-law sent me all his old records, among which were these:
<img src="http://i63.tinypic.com/3343k9l.jpg"> These had mud on them, owing to a basement flood. Little rinse with isopropyl & H20, some scrubbing and they sounded great. Lots of great and less-than-great old LPs, only one unplayably warped so far, and I'm still cooking it to get it flat.
Good stuff, but normal. I'm talking about the 45's that the label knew was shit in the first place, so only made 100 copies. It's still shit, but someone will pay $200 for one.
Vinyl dude was recently going through a couple hundred 45's for his pal that got them from a radio station somewhere…….Chi, maybe, that had been sitting in the backroom . Some WTF's in there. But worth some dough.
Yep, my brother-in-law's taste is even more mainstream than mine. I now have a much better idea of the full extent of the Hall & Oates oeuvre than I did before. I'm more a listener/collector than a trader.
Say what you want about this country, thirteen bucks can still buy you a hell of a lot of mice.
Listening to this. Had it many years ago, attempted every song on it. Forgot how good it is.

Black over Sealing Wax! 23 windows! Doesn't seem to have safari windows, though, so you could snap one up for $130K or so. Think of all the fun you could have with 36 screaming pferdstarke propelling you up to Tahoe.
I had two different 1969 busses in my day. Even those were horribly underpowered. Read in a VW/Porsche mag in 1989 that you could put a 911 flat 6 in a Vanagon- Porsche made the gearbox for the Vanagon anyway. Mileage actually improved from 15 MPG to 21 MPG going from the water boxer 90 hp engine to the 231 hp 911 engine, and they said you never had to downshift going up hills. Certainly there would have been a market for those. I have a neighbor with a Vanagon with a Subaru engine, but hey, it's time to go back to Porsche's real roots and start switching these things back to electric.
Back in the late 60's, a guy I went to school with installed an S90 engine in his 64 bus. It was a vast improvement, but still pretty weak.
This day in 1877 Edison announced a device called the | phonograph |.
"In December, 1877, a young man came into the office of the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, and placed before the editors a small, simple machine about which very few preliminary remarks were offered. The visitor without any ceremony whatever turned the crank, and to the astonishment of all present the machine said: "Good morning. How do you do? How do you like the phonograph?" The machine thus spoke for itself, and made known the fact that it was the phonograph…"
Edison was amazing. Not really a scientist or engineer as we now define them, but undoubtedly the greatest tinkerer of all time. Plus one of the main combatants in the |War of Currents.|
"He developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and the long-lasting, practical electric light bulb."
That's a lot of shit for one guy to invent. Pretty much the modern world.
He invented or improved a lot of shit. He was hardly the only one. He was very industrious and driven, had his ups and downs with business. Didn't do the electric motor or the internal combustion engine, or powered flight, or the telephone, telegraph…
Please note that his design for the phonograph and DC power delivery got superseded by better technologies.
There's something to be said at "try everything", but at LLNL, the term "Edisonian" was a derogatory term that meant "throw shit against the wall and see what sticks"
Haha! So erudite, those world-destroying science guys.
That's right. The space race is over. Science is now bad!
We still love ya, Carl. Don't worry.
Bonus idiom I just learned from Howard "Louie Bluie" Armstrong : They couldn't play enough damn music to keep the flies off a dog dick.

And remember kids: Don't drop out!
Cool. Anything you think WTF?, check this site b.c. there's lot's of weirdos that collect that WTF stuff. https://www.discogs.com/search/
I'm one of those weirdos! Here's my |collection | not counting the stuff I haven't incorporated yet.

I've always been Team Tesla.
I always related to mad geniuses more than business savvy geniuses.
He wasn't nice to Tesla
Or Topsy.
Had his strengths, had his flaws. Picked a great time in history to be a tinkerer, but tinkering can still serve a person well.
