I didn't recognize the venue until I saw the girls in the audience wearing their IFIC buttons: The Dick Clark Beechnut Show. Beechnut gum is "Flavorific", which explains the buttons (I wanted one, but settled for the gum). The show had popular music singers of the day, but I can remember only a few acts. Neil Sedaka wasn't one. I distinctly remember Mitch Miller lip syncing the execrable hit song "This Old Man" while he walked down the aisle. The show - and popular music - slipped gradually downhill after the first broadcast, which had Jerry Lee Lewis singing "Great Balls of Fire". The Beatles rescued us in 1963. Just in time, too.

Robyn, I really wanted to spork you in the face after listening to Sedaka's song. However, it was necessary to set up Carol's awesome response. Spork denied.

Thank you Robyn and Wonkette, I've been posting news articles about Trump to faceplace to annoy my conservative friends, this article will be the frosting on the cake so to speak. There are two of them that rise to the bait like a trout.

I had a Captain Action as a kid. Very cool. Blue and black unitard with a big ray gun and a lightning bolt bladed sword, and a cut leather boys military cap. You could also turn him into Superman, Batman, or Aquaman with a costume change and Mission Impossible type facemask.

I'd bring home toy trucks and tractors from the dump. Install jelly jar lids for wheels and they work good enough.
