Saturday Matinee: Ebo Walker & Black Napkins & Sticky Notes

EBO WALKER

Now Ebo Walker was born in Kentucky,
and raised by his daddy on a hillside farm,
He took up fiddle playing just for fun,
that’s the last work that Ebo Walker done.

Well Ebo Walker, he left Kentucky
’cause Ebo’s daddy said durn your hide,
You won’t plant corn, and you won’t make hay,
you sit on the porch and play that thing all day.

Well Ebo Walker, he walked and he fiddled and he walked and he fiddled and he fiddled till he died,

But I’ve heard tell when the winds is down and the moon shines bright, and the leaves are brown,
You can hear old Ebo fiddlin’ all around.

Pure Oddness. Now for something completely different.

FZ on the Mike Douglas Show, 1976, playing “Black Napkins” with the studio band.  Amazing benign culture clash. [This is part one of a two part interview… kinda slow to load, and we may have linked to this one before.  So what.]

Puppies are born with incomplete digestive systems.  They aren’t able to completely digest everything that passes through their digestive tracts.  Therefore they recycle, and pet owners can’t stand to watch that kind of natural recycling.

The Associated Press, Reuters, MSN and CNN and a couple of other media sources that come to mind are kinda like that, too, but they are not puppies and so far there are no products available to prevent them from recycling their own crap.

My Senior Yearbook Photo

What it doesn’t show are all the little chicks with the crimson lips who were pawing all over me during the mid 70’s.  Right.  And if I could go back in time and change my REAL Senior Class photo to this one, I’d do it.  Aw, but I was so much older then.

Bunk’s Money Saving Tips: Toothpaste!

Some frugal folks simply amaze me with their ingenuity.  What a money saver this is!

In order to make sure that no toothpaste is wasted, just freeze it, cut away the tube, dice it into individual servings.  Put the single-serving cubes in a plastic bag and store them in the freezer until needed.  When you’re ready to brush, just take one out, thaw it, and brush away!  No wasted toothpaste EVER.

Finished product looks like this:

Colors may vary depending on what brand of toothpaste you freeze.  For more efficiency you can number them.  The ones below are scheduled for use during the month of June.

Send us photos of your toothpaste cubes and let us know how much money YOU saved by being frugal with toothpaste, and we’ll include them in a future post.
