I'd take those pepperoni and dog far ts and put them in a bbq bag and sit back and watch.
Years ago at a family Thanksgiving gathering I bought assorted bag of jelly beans and put them out on the table. The kids started eating them throughout the day. I later replaced the jelly beans with a couple boxes of Harry Potter Jelly Beans to the bag...grabbed a beer and sat back and watched ...
When the kids wrinkled up their faces, then some even went and told mom and dad that they tasted funny or nasty. Then I had parents trying them too...My afternoon was priceless

For true percolation I might suggest a "Reverb Amplifier" such as the Sansui RA500 😳
It put the "Hi" back into "HiHiFiFiDelDelItyIty".
....kinda.
Vintage equipment can be fun and sometimes actually pretty decent.

There's --- ahem --- there's one of those in the basement.
OK, it's Pioneer's version (with a less cool "graphic display"), but, still...
So -- yeah. Cabin fever must be setting in, as now I am quoting my own posts.
There's a meathead method to my madness, though.
Happened to see a photo of the specific model of the Pioneer reverb gizmo that I have here. It's the earlier morph, with a decidedly more boring display than either the later Pioneer or the very cool Sansui pictured above & earlier in this thread.
Mine does look just like this one, except a little grubbier.
The later Pioneers had a cooler display; sort of a Time Tunnel thing goin' on.
As it turns out, they use a much more sophisticated
electronic 'bucket brigade' circuit for the reverb effect, instead of the classic spring-based reverb tank!

I cannot think of this song without remembering this Doonesbury cartoon -- which, in my memory, was much, much funnier than I found it to be today when I sought it out.
From July 1974.
(which just makes me feel very old indeed)
PS the "woo, woo!" [ sic ] is, IMO, the best part of the song!

Darn, I just saw this yesterday. Always a day late.
Omaha's beloved Bohemian Cafe closed just over a year ago after 95 years. So there are no Czech restaurants in town. http://bohemiancafe.net/
If you enjoy Czech food, you either have to catch an event like this or there are a couple of church dinners during the summer offering Czech and Polish fare.
Or you can make it yourself, which I can do. But it's easier buying it once in a while.
Na Zdravi

This is Ariel, the beautiful little 5 year old girl who is in the hospital fighting for her life with severe brain trauma, because the K.C. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid's son Britt decided to drive after consuming a mixture of alcohol and prescription drug adderall.
Prayers and love sent her way...
That’s tragic. That jacka$$ should spend the rest of his life in prison - but he’ll probably get a slap on the hand.
Godspeed for Ariel and her recovery.“Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free.”
