When I was a kid, I always enjoyed putting together my Christmas wish list. I'd go through the Montgomery Wards catalog and circle anything that looked moderately interesting (can't believe my parents never bought me that kid sized tube you can crawl through).
I also would write out a list to help members of my family find me the perfect gift. I remember one year I wrote, "NO CANDLES" on my list. So imagine my irritation when I got a giant box, filled with shredded paper. There was a string taped to the side of the box, which said "follow me." So I followed the string along until I got to a used birthday candle. Ha ha, very funny. What WAS funny was the record album that was taped to the inside of the box...every one could see it but me! Eventually I caught on. Thanks John, by the way.
When I was a bit younger (around 8 or 9), one item on my list caused some confusion for my dad. I remember him calling me from Shopko. He asked, "this list says Don't Cook Your Goose. Is that something you want, or do you just not want me to spend too much on presents?"
What? Spend too much on presents? That concept wasn't familiar to me.
Actually it was a game, which involved balancing little goose shape pieces on a pan....
I did get that for Christmas..and oh the joy! Hours of entertainment!
I don't believe this game is made any more..but you can get the gist of it here.
Have you heard the song "Rumble and Sway" yet on Triple M?
The singer sounds like a raspy blues dude who's definitely been around the block a few times....but surprisingly, Jamie N. Commons is only 23 years old!
He was born in England, but...
Last week, I decided I would try one new, healthy food a week, and asked my facebook friends to make some suggestions.
The first thing I tried was mango. I'm sure I've had other mango flavored things, and mango as part of something else, but...
There's only one thing that might be worse than the Neil Diamond/Barbra Streisand duet "You Don't Bring Me Flowers." And that's Jonathan Suttin doing his best crooning...doing both parts. Most unpleasant.
A lot of people liked this song...
Artist: Alchemilla
Hail From: Boston
Song: 'The Wheel'
Album: Diamonds From The Penny Arcade
Sounds Like: Hole, Pearl Jam
In Their Words: "Alchemilla had been trying to write a ballad for a little while but it wasn't happening. There...
Last weeks challenge we thought went excellent! Of course we are a little biased.
The drinking song couldn't have been any better, or any less fun. We had a blast through out the whole process, and our performance rocked.
This week is an easy...
So the story goes Michael Jackson completed this song while watching cartoons with Paul McCartney. We'll just let that sink in for a moment.
Not sure what cartoons they were watching, but it must have worked because this song made it to number 2...
The Dalai Lama is back in town, sharing his message of peace and kindness with likeminded individuals, and the Wisconsin legislature. He also held a private meeting with Gov. Walker, who said he mostly listened to what His Holiness had to say (wise...
This duet by Ol' Blue Eyes and his daughter went all the way to number 1 back in 1967. It seems a little creepy that Frank and Nancy Sinatra are singing a love song. However, a lot of Triple M listeners were in the mood for it.
