And other "fun" facts...
But you know all this if you subscribe to the magazine, coz this is what's on this month's cover (which I've yet to read, but I'll get a round tuit). (I actually own a round tuit. I'd scan it for ya if I could find it.) (Well, make that "if I looked for it, found it, and THEN scanned it for ya.") (But we're fresh out o' the motivation required for such activity.)
Ya learn a lot by reading blogs, yanno? Today I learned what "dactyl" means (Lex taught me that, by way o' dictionary-dot-com). I also learned today is some old hippie's birthday. You should wander over to Canada, eh? for a four-tune retrospective, assuming ya like ol' hippie music (and I DO) (but that should be obvious by now).
We're tryin' for a new personal best on the parenthetical asides (we just may have made it, too) (but we're just guessin') (Yeah, it's a slow day here at El Casa Móvil De Pennington. Why do you ask?).

Heh. Just for grins and giggles I googled ol' Ian and read his bio on The Wiki. He is NOT who I thought he was! (me thinking he was a sideman of some note for a few bands) I also watched the video and you've turned me on to someone that I missed entirely during that time frame.
ReplyDeleteI missed Melodyland what with me leaving SoCal in 1963, the year it opened.
The Overpopulation link was sure an eye-opener! And yet another poke in the eye of one of my favorite (heh) moonbat organizations. The Sierra Club started out well but it's been ALL downhill for the last 20 years or so.
7 Billion is still less than 14 Trillion. That's right, the USA has borrowed $2000 from each organism.
ReplyDeleteAh - great minds think alike! I also get NatGeo and have just started reading the population article. Should prove to be very interesting.

ReplyDeleteAbout half the people in the world couldn't lay their hands on $2000.00 if their lives depended on it. Hell, that's ten years worth of earnings in the Sahel.
Kris: NatGeo is a national treasure.
My Dad, back when he was a salesman for Singapore Airlines, used to hand out "round tuits" to his clients (among other more valuable bits of swag.) I always thought it was clever as hell, and I'm glad to see that at least one other person in the world knows what in heck one is.
ReplyDeleteI have a round tuit!
ReplyDeleteTwinks and I just finished watching that video. Twice. It really is thought-provoking.
And I totally agree that NatGeo is a national treasure. I don't remember a world without it; it has always been present in any home I have ever lived in.
I fervently hope that they continue to uphold the standard of quality that they have always maintained.
Thanks for sharing the vid!
Jim: I've had my round tuit for a number of years now.
ReplyDeleteThimbelle: We have the Nat Geo in common, then. My parents subscribed when I was a kid and I've always had it as an adult, too.
