I have no idea what this "Elf on the Shelf" business is, other than skimming the results of a cursory search. One time when I was a kid, my parents *hired* a Santa to knock on the door and deliver some of the presents while I got the rest from them under the tree the next morning.

N.b. The Santa might have been one of their friends who rented a suit, and I thought the elves were some sort of baroque ritual added to the ususal Tooth Fairy routine for a while.

Think of it as "Narc in the Park", only for kids.

Kingsford Charcoal Briquettes are readily available at Bess Hardware, and if anyone is eligible to receive a lump of coal, it's our 8-year-old-sleuth.

The name comes from the original product made by Henry Ford, just by the by.

I can picture that miserable old anti-Semite squeezing them out.

Ah, Henry Ford's racism and anti-semitism; the anger that fuelled the invention of the assembly line. And also, country music!

If he were a reliever I would have spelled "relieved" correctly.

This post deserves to be relieved on.

I never expected Chapman to have competition for Biggesr Piece of Shit on the championship team.

... I just listened to an interview with Micky Dolenz. It wasn't as interesting as the time Davy Jones wandered into Jimmy's Woodlawn Tap and started hitting on barflies.

For a very brief time (exactly 100 shows, before the station switched from oldies to "Jack"), Micky was the morning guy on WCBS-FM. He did recorded bits for about a week, and they went over like a lead balloon. He then would just tell stories, which his audience loved. He's got a bunch of good ones, and he tells them well. I kind of wish Sirius would give him a show - Tommy James is kind of a dud on the 60s channel - because he's a born entertainer.

Among the best things that I ever heard on radio were Jean Sheppard's late night broadcasts from New York.

Absolutely fantastic shows.
