Percussion Table

So let's say you're a drummer laying down some tracks in the recording studio and you get hungry, but the band says "We're paying by the hour here, dude, we gotta keep going!". Why not get one of these tables - lay your bag of McDonalds goodies in front of you and lay down a beat while scarfin' down some fries and a McDLT.

Do You Like Oysters?

One oyster asked another oyster, "I see you just got a pet dog, what are you going to name it?" The oyster said, "I dunno, I've always been a big fan of the movie Annie - I guess I'll name it Sandy" Ha Ha Ha! If you like oysters, and want more information about them, check out the Be Oyster Aware website at www.beoysteraware.com. You can get information on Gulf oysters, health issues and oyster recipes. There's actually fresh oysters just a couple of miles away from where I live, Taylory Shellfish Farms, on Chuckanut Drive between Bellingham and Mt. Vernon. Nothing quite like fresh oysters!

The Adventures of Rat Pfink and Boo Boo

Apparently this movie was on TCM last week and I missed it (actually, I just found out that TCM shows a bunch of obscure flicks as part of it's TCM Underground series. Kinda reminds me of AMC's "American Pop" series from the 90's, back when AMC was still worth watching.

Pabst Blue Ribbon Song From 1958

Here is a sweet, gentle ballad about Pabst Blue Ribbon from 1958 (link). It's more than just a jingle - it's a 4 minute song about bringing your family and friends together for a delicious Pabst. I think I still dig Untamed Youth's tribute more though (link).
