TOD:
When I was growing up in the 70s, the novelty songs were "The Streak", "Convoy" and my all-time favorite, "Junk Food Junkie". I think a lot of these songs got their start on the Dr. Dimento show.

Back from the bank and a brief visit with Val, I'm waiting for the eggs to boil.

Once again no nomination for me - so I'm counting on those write-in votes, folks.

List on the Time Magazine site includes this:

Success!  After the unsuccessful attempt at paying my property taxes, I wondered if it was the browser that I was using and it was.  I had been on Firefox and when I used Microsoft Edge, everything worked without any trouble.  Very strange.  I still had to pay the late fee ($18 :o :P ) but it worked and I'm legal.  I'll keep that in mind when I pay again in six months.

Congrats on your new classic SNES console.

Thanks!  I told a couple of co-workers here at work and one is going at her lunch time to see if one of the other two units are still left!

The only change in my current regular routine is a trip to my bank this morning to ask for copies of two cancelled checks, which I will take to Staples and photocopy.

Larry, couldn't the bank just make you the extra copies that you need, or do they charge (more than Stapes) for each copy?

Back from (you know) and it’s such a gorgeous day out there I can hardly believe it. I’m monitoring the kitties’ afternoon meal — something one must do when one of them is on a special diet — after which I’m thinking I’ll go out and blow some of...ahem...last fall’s leaves out of the yard.

Life in Connecticut, don’tcha know.

Annabelle and I made our apartment patrol and we came in just in time to hear the major Tony nominations.  Leslie Odom Jr, for a Broadway actor, sure doesn't know how to pronounce Hammerstein.

Stine or Steen?  How did Hammerstein pronounce his name.  I tried to find a video and could not.  I have seen him, in old clips, introduced both ways.

Yep, a bunch of them from Dr. Demento’s show, and a few from Brian Clewer’s (sp?) Cynic’s Choice. That show was on Sunday mornings on WLAD-FM.

(When was Demento on in L.A.? Sunday evenings? Saturday evenings?)

Others as well. I have some comedy albums that must contain some, including some quite ribald ones.

Tuesday afternoon greetings!  I slept late this morning, then had to rush around in order to leave at 11:30 for this month’s DAR luncheon.  Stopped at the public library on the way home and here I am.

I used to have a friend who wrote and sang songs for the Dr Demento show. She went by the name of Su Lu. DR Amy or Jrand or any other DRs remember her? I really admired her courage to do that.

We actually had a little rain this morning. I was doing laundry (must go outside), but the rain was of no consequence.

However, it's Elmer BernSTEEN.

And he was pronouncing it incorrectly.  Then it would be spelled Bernstien.  Do we know this for certain?
