But since the container is in a sea cave, it's extremely dangerous to access. So it's presumed Garfield phones will keep washing up for many more decades, possibly centuries as the plastic they are made of does not degrade very easily in the elements.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhZDJ8DH832oe6zsJpaLpeTT9StNywjtI5RW_BIRn3n5sZGGNoquVjWCc6C5sYA7rojoJM0PTHSo8OYxGjyU-38nGDxqXUcH0zaxkD7Zg_Fq2jaq0GLdjoIAaX-6UXFWCKdeaOfEYaiCdMc5ZgNVDTQQ_4eVd7zN-6of540jCGWZy7FkXuXVxj6kI25=s700" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="700" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhZDJ8DH832oe6zsJpaLpeTT9StNywjtI5RW_BIRn3n5sZGGNoquVjWCc6C5sYA7rojoJM0PTHSo8OYxGjyU-38nGDxqXUcH0zaxkD7Zg_Fq2jaq0GLdjoIAaX-6UXFWCKdeaOfEYaiCdMc5ZgNVDTQQ_4eVd7zN-6of540jCGWZy7FkXuXVxj6kI25=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEitdYBVH5Qphc9z5CthTHScLFJSbrdw2K0jpwh3E0B88vUxbhmNnuGIXF0U2Fi-LBU_D9KO_ffruH8YQYrV9C_SMbBH0ubMsbH22xD7wB2T-IDsx_QHJatHpzskq7eVae5NJoM1QxBPNPzsLcZRgCqOfDvQCwc083JPoxYY59VJoxzEffw-yLWOg4Ea=s634" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="476" data-original-width="634" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEitdYBVH5Qphc9z5CthTHScLFJSbrdw2K0jpwh3E0B88vUxbhmNnuGIXF0U2Fi-LBU_D9KO_ffruH8YQYrV9C_SMbBH0ubMsbH22xD7wB2T-IDsx_QHJatHpzskq7eVae5NJoM1QxBPNPzsLcZRgCqOfDvQCwc083JPoxYY59VJoxzEffw-yLWOg4Ea=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh9XpKlk8Jv2g3OCNwVvK2Jwt_mec-mpUO0rrmshuancQGKy4pkuEqZo1R_F46TCIqY_rySI-cAQAGm2Y6idPqI5C8Ed4psUpeuIl8iaU6OlwWDQ8EAi4pDcE3l1vTJmyvW3e6ZBv_E_DJGJqUuU9m8AGbBlhBmNc_MV-zoMUMUfCudzDYRADyw9uod=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh9XpKlk8Jv2g3OCNwVvK2Jwt_mec-mpUO0rrmshuancQGKy4pkuEqZo1R_F46TCIqY_rySI-cAQAGm2Y6idPqI5C8Ed4psUpeuIl8iaU6OlwWDQ8EAi4pDcE3l1vTJmyvW3e6ZBv_E_DJGJqUuU9m8AGbBlhBmNc_MV-zoMUMUfCudzDYRADyw9uod=w400-h266" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Visit History's Dumpster on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/HistorysDumpster</div>Larry Waldbillighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09251746085990599751noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987738695581729895.post-18526026056834318572021-10-13T09:27:00.000-07:002021-10-13T09:27:32.345-07:00The Great Kat - Worship Me Or Die!

Besides, they knew you could put together an even better working crystal radio for much, much less than that and even from parts already around the house (many built radios for themselves and their families in the Depression, as many kids did since money for new radios was so scarce, it was cheaper for mom and dad to just learn the science and do it themselves.)</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana;">A battery powered transistorized version later came on the market in 1958 (hopefully better working.)</span></div>

In fact, I looked forward to pizza day so much, by second grade, I began devising new ways of getting extra slices. Flattery and fresh picked flowers for the lunch ladies worked. At the expense of my reputation with my classmates. But I'm not the kind to burp and tell.<br />
<br />
But this rectangular treat has all but vanished from many modern school lunchroom menus.

<i>What was the last 78 RPM record?</i><br />
<br />
I've been asked this question now and then and to be perfectly honest, the 78 RPM speed is <i>still</i> with us. Mostly for collectors items and not as general releases. But it does occasionally surface.<br />
<br />

<br />
But as general releases, 78 RPM was largely passe in America by 1957. In 1957, sales of 78 RPM records accounted for 4,500,000 units in 1957. In 1958, it plummeted to less than 500,000, less than 5% of overall sales and the writing was on the wall.<br />

But it still had a visible, if fading market for children's records (mostly because kids inherited hand-me-down phonographs from their parents and many kids phonographs also still had that speed.)<br />

These players (which also sold under Woolworth's house brand, Audition) had two speeds, 45 and 78 (which were the speeds of most kids records available at that time, 45 by the 1970s, but many 78s from the '50s and '60s. still existed.)

While 78 RPM was all but abandoned in America, (save for certain budget, independent, promo releases and oddities (The "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-zwIvl8cEc" target="_blank">Just Like Gene Autry; A Foxtrot</a>" track on Moby Grape's <i>Wow </i>album is one example.) In South America, 78 RPM was still in use until the early '70s for certain pop releases.<br />

The speed reemerged in the 2000s on some newer <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wo6y2S-MTpo" target="_blank">Crosley type junk players</a> for playing old 78s. But some better quality turntables also began including it as the vinyl renaissance swept the country and anything with grooves fascinated Millennial hipsters. But most turntables still offer only the standard 33/45 speeds.<br />
<br />
So to sum up, the last official general release <i>new</i> Western pop single on 78 that isn't a reissue, novelty, oddity, collector's item or promo is one that may never truly be known, even among collectors and they're still searching. The 1973 Brazilian Latimore 78 mentioned above is the most recent I've seen yet. I have heard of others that extend into the disco era, but I've never seen any as of this writing.<br />

In recent years, The Internet Archive has become a motherlode for miners of classic video games. 1980s and 1990s computer games Gen-X and older Millennials grew up with such as <a href="https://archive.org/details/virtual-stupidity" target="_blank">Beavis & Butt-Head Virtual Stupidity</a>, <a href="https://archive.org/details/EA_Maxis_SimCity_3000_-_Win98_Eng" target="_blank">SimCity 3000</a> and others are now free and legally downloadable ISO files you can burn to CD or run with an image writer.<br />
<br />
This includes obsolete <a href="https://archive.org/details/operatingsystemcds?&sort=-downloads&page=1" target="_blank">operating systems</a>* too. What this means for you, the person with a few old computer towers/laptops collecting dust and you lost or misplaced the <a href="https://archive.org/details/Dell_Reinstallation_CD_WXPSP2_Home_Dell_H8527_2004" target="_blank">rescue CDs</a>, new hope. They make excellent retro gaming computers or home MP3 server jukeboxes.<br />
<br />
An old low spec 32 bit 512 MB - 1 GB RAM older Pentium computer tower, can also be revived for secure modern use with some 32 bit versions of Linux are available like <a href="https://www.bodhilinux.com/" target="_blank">Bodhi Legacy</a>. <a href="http://lxle.net/" target="_blank">LXLE </a>and <a href="https://antixlinux.com/" target="_blank">antiX</a> can also run on systems that low) but the speed and performance of these systems will not be the same as with a modern PC. Simply because the hardware is too old for modern demands. But as a very basic computer, they will do fine.<br />
<br />
*The Catch: Select <i>carefully</i> and download at your own risk. Some OSs/software <a href="https://archive.org/details/MemoriaOS" target="_blank">aren't official releases</a> or are in <a href="https://archive.org/details/Win10HomeProv1809RUS" target="_blank">foreign languages</a>. File scan everything for malware/viruses before installing. I'm not sure of the screening process (if any) at IA for software. But it doesn't hurt to make absolutely sure.<br />

<br />
For those looking for way out of the brain fog of modern pop music. Here's a fun place to explore.<br />
<br />
It's like going through a musty mystery box of 78 RPM records, but much more accessible.<br />
<br />
Imagine! <br />
<br />
- No more back-breaking hauling in boxes of heavy shellac discs.<br />
- No more fear of accidental breakage of some of these now rare records.<br />
- No more daddy longlegs or other unsightly visitors lurking in the corners of these boxes. <br />
- No more needing to find an appropriate record player with 78 RPM speed. <br />
- No more meticulous listens with different points of stylus to find just the right one. (It's already been done for you. With sample plays)<br />
- No more social embarrassment if you accidentally try to play the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ENJY3geCFQ" target="_blank">Edison Diamond Discs of the 1910s</a> on a standard Victrola reproducer (tsktsktsk). Or having to rearrange the cartridge wires. <br />
<br />
So why go through all that needless fuss, work and expense when at last, you can practically say "<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Echo-And-Alexa-Devices/b?ie=UTF8&node=9818047011" target="_blank">Alexa</a>, play <a href="https://archive.org/details/78_low-bridge-everybody-down_billy-murray-allen_gbia0015535b" target="_blank">'Low Bridge! Everybody Down!' Billy Murray</a>"? Your great-grandparents wouldn't.<br />

This crunchy sounding, yet free and downloadable copy of this respectable 1953 Decca 10" LP compilation album of catalog artist material from the 1930s (with informative liner notes on the back cover.) is a great starting point if you're doing research into this music. It's one of the handful of odd early 33 1/3 RPM LPs also in the Great 78 Project. <a href="http://historysdumpster.blogspot.com/2014/08/epic-nu-disks.html" target="_blank">The 10" LP</a> was considered to be one of the early 33 1/3 RPM LP's selling points. A smaller size album the size of a standard 10" 78 RPM single (most 78 RPM albums of the '40s contained 4 records and 8 songs.) Eventually, 12" became standard size for LP records by the mid-1950s.<br />

Specializing in lost hits, rare versions of hit singles, B-sides, demos, obscure tracks, should've-been-hits, cheesy cover versions and the really strange of pop primarily from the '70s to the '90s, Hosted by Ron "Boogiemonster" Gerber, he takes you on a graduate level course in pop music.

If you remember and miss Dr. Demento since he left the airwaves, Anthony "A-Log" Logatto, a devoted fan of The Good Doctor, has a worthy radio fix for us (it's the only one we currently have of this type). Focusing on current releases, song parodies and a few original tracks with a generous amount of Demento classics and a weekly theme, each program is three jam packed hours of fun. It's how I was introduced to "<a href="https://www.thefump.com/" target="_blank">The FuMP</a>", a community of comedy musicians and fans. Highly recommended.<br />

It was an American idea that became a British institution that is almost completely unheard of in America. And one of the most overlooked ways radio has been used.<br />
<br />
Most Americans don't know this. But in the UK, hospitals have their own radio stations. They are managed and staffed by volunteers, are operated around the clock and provide music and reading services to hospital patients and staff.<br />

They are transmitted through AM/FM carrier current signals via the hospital wiring system, or more frequently today, direct cable (channel 1 on UK <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hospedia" target="_blank">Hospedia</a> systems) and could be heard in the surrounding area of the hospital. And many stream to the world.<br />

And hospital radio has existed even before the dawn of modern radio broadcasting.<br />
<br />
The idea for hospital radio was conceived at an American military hospital in Paris near the end of World War I. They found that radio would be an efficient way to deliver news and music directly to bedsides to help recovering soldiers. But the war ended before this could be set up. However, the equipment and idea was taken to Walter Reed General Hospital in Washington D.C. in 1919 where a station did operate. But it is unknown for how long, what the call sign was, all the necessary details.<br />
<br />
Hospital radio in the UK underwent an expansion after World War II with more hospitals starting more radio stations. They're almost like mascots for their respective hospitals. And some of the best international promotion these hospitals could ever have. <br />
<br />
UK hospital radio stations play a very wide variety of pop music, depending on each particular station, of course heavy on British content. Often spinning those awesome lost British pop oldies of the 1950s to the '80s we missed over here in the States because American record labels didn't distribute and/or radio stations overlooked or ignored them.<br />
<br />
UK hospital radio stations even have their own organization <a href="https://www.hbauk.com/" target="_blank">HBA</a> which is like the NAB for American radio stations.<br />
<br />
But why hasn't hospital radio become a thing in America?<br />
<br />
That's a tricky question. It's probably been suggested before, but aside from the Walter Reed General Hospital station, there are no hospital radio stations in America. I may be wrong, but I have looked everywhere. There were a few US hospital CATV system channels, mostly with health videos in the 1980s and '90s. But no <i>radio stations.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
The other thing is that American hospital stays are generally shorter than in the UK. You could have surgery one day and be at home the next whereas in the UK, you might stay a little longer, just to be safe.<br />
<br />
But I think ultimately, there was no real need. Unlike the UK, the US had more higher powered radio stations outside the most populated areas than the UK. Second, by the 1950s, as US hospitals campuses were becoming sprawling developments, I'm sure some doctors and medical staff who have visited the UK were inspired by the idea. Music is a healer, But the funding, staffing, technical and programming parts were probably more than could be sorted out and/or what their hospital budgets allowed.<br />

In the early days of portable cassette machines, late 1960s and early 1970s cassette decks often came with demonstration tapes. These were mostly public domain songs, such as "Little Brown Jug" and "Michael Row The Boat Ashore" or specially composed material, often with the second side blank for the customer or purchaser to test the recorder with. But several manufacturers from National/Panasonic, Sanyo and Sony made these cassettes.<br />

Most Sanyo as well as other makes of portables had cheap top control mechanisms, which required the cassette to be loaded upside down. So Sanyo issued their '70s demonstration cassettes with upside down labels, a practice rarely used outside of children's tapes (the Fisher Price, Superscope Storyteller and Teddy Ruxpin cassettes all had upside down labels.)<br />

By the 1980s, the focus shifted from '60s J-Pop renditions of "Red River Valley" to exciting ambient stereo sound with personal cassette players like the Sony Walkman.<br />

As the 1980s rolled on, fewer electronics manufacturers were including demonstration cassettes with their portable decks. But there was one sector of the electronics market that not only embraced the demonstration cassette, but almost made it a science; The car stereo sector.<br />
<br />
The GM Delco/Bose car audio systems were especially ambitious. They were the gold standard of 1980s car audio and their demonstration cassettes often came on premium normal or chrome tape. The music selections were varied, but mostly non-rock.<br />

These auto demonstration cassettes were also made by Ford for their car stereos. The heyday of the car stereo demonstration cassette ended as CDs had began to become the audiophile standard and the last car stereo demonstration cassettes were made in the 1990s.<br />

But Pluto isn’t like Comcast (there are caveats.) First, Pluto doesn’t offer your local TV channels. Second, some of the news programming, such as the CNN and the NBC News Pluto channels aren’t live. This won’t do for a hardcore breaking news junkie like me. But if you’re just a casual news watcher, it should be fine. The stories and shows are usually from earlier in the day on the CNN and NBC feeds. There are live feeds of Cheddar and <a href="https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/rt-news/" target="_blank">the suspicious RT America</a>. The other thing is a strong high-speed internet connection is vital to the Pluto experience.<br />

<span style="text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial;">The movie channels are mostly 2nd tier films, but still entertaining. (I watched <i>What’s Eating Gilbert Grape</i> for the first time since 1993.) The thing here is most Pluto channel programming - including the on demand movies, have commercials.</span><br />

There’s food channels, home improvement channels, some religious and a wide selection of sports channels (I’m not a huge sports fan, so I’m guessing the boxing matches at 3am aren’t live either.) Several all comedy, geek, Latinx and children’s programming channels are offered as well.<span style="text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial;"></span><br />

<span style="text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial;">But if it’s HBO, Showtime and Cinemax you’re looking for, that’s not here. But the Pluto movie channels are acceptable, but the commercial break transitions are a tad jarring. However, the film returns to the last few seconds of the last scene prior to the break. So that helps as you’re running to the kitchen for the bag of chips.</span><br />

<span style="text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial;">Ch. 597 SLOW TV - If you ever fantasized being a Norwegian train engineer, this channel is heaven. 24 hours a day, it’s the cab view of a Norwegian locomotive along the rails of Norway. And that’s it. 24/7.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial;">It’s
a nifty sub-cable system if you already have cable. And a decent
alternative if you’re off the cord. But the fact you can take Pluto
anywhere on your smartphone, tablet, gaming or PC computer makes it a
must have in periods of boredom. Just surfing around Pluto is fun. Enjoy!</span><br />

What was this?<br />
<br />
I saw this 1977 Sizzler ad on Pinterest and it gave me a flashback to this 1983 commercial.<br />
<div>
<br />

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZzyzSCPQ1zk" width="560"></iframe></center>

<br />
I’m not an expert at seafood (I’m actually allergic to it and I'm also revolted by the smell.) But even back then, this sounded suspicious. Because I have never heard of this type of lobster before. Ever.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And I’ve never heard of it since. So what was it? Lobsters shaped like an obscene gesture?<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My first hunch then and the one I still hold now was baby lobsters. The inevitable trawler bycatch that wouldn’t satisfy any serious hardcore lobster lover. But served in quantity with a mouthwatering new name and target it to trendy young adults? New menu item.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
So I did some research. And this is what I came up with under “Deep Sea Finger Lobster”: Nothing.<br />
<br />
No scientific Latin name, no sub-species listing. No taxology of any kind.<br />
<br />
As far as I know, they were only sold at Sizzler restaurants. However some have mentioned other places where this was available.<br />
<br />
Any clues?<br />

You've probably seen these little 7" inch Android tablets with sleek keyboard cases that resemble '80s/'90s day planners on eBay or Amazon. <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Q88-7-Inch-Android-4-4-A33-Quad-Core-8GB-ROM-512MB-RAM-WiFi-G-Sensor-Tablet-ON/153662067981?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144" target="_blank">You can also buy these tablets on their own without keyboards for around $30 and they come in different colors.</a> But we're going to try out the keyboard case and to really put this to the test, write this entire post on it.<br />

First, this does have functioning apps and does work. It is the right size for your backpack or large handbag and setting/booting it up takes about the same time. This handles YouTube playback respectably well. There's no touchpad or mouse, so most selecting is done onscreen with your fingers. If your demands are very basic, Google oriented and simple, this does work on that level.<br />
But I ran a few more performance tests on it with a screen recorder app to test speed and multimedia performance.<br />

In spite of it's Q88 quad-core chipset, at 512 MB of RAM, this is not very fast at multitasking. It can stream internet radio through VLC while working with the most of the non-video apps. It also handles TuneIn reliably through it's app while surfing the Firefox, Twitter, Facebook, Google Docs and Gmail apps. The screen recorder app's audio input comes from the built in condenser mic, so whatever sounds are around you as you record from the display will be caught on the resulting video (in my case, the bedroom fan.) The volume on the video was set at max (as your ringing ears can tell you.) The sound comes from a tiny monaural button speaker on the rear of the tablet, so it isn't very loud from an average listening perspective.<br />

Second, the screen at 7'' wide is an issue for me as my ability to read fine print requires me to carry a magnifying glass. You could stretch out the display with your fingers, but finding the sweet spot between readability and screen size can be a challenge on some web versions of news sites.<br />
<br />
The keyboard case was of particular interest to me as my big clumsy fingers are especially problematic with touch-screen keyboards and while a larger size, some keys (such as the " ') key is located at the bottom of the keyboard. The keys also require a firm press each to enter, so I still end up peck-typing, but the keyboard real estate area is larger.<br />
<br />
You can buy these with keyboards or without. And the other good thing is when these tablets die (usually in about three years), you can replace them while keeping the case. If you enable Google Drive for backups, your work can be saved when you change tablets.<br />
<br />
Compared to my standard desktop, I probably would not write another post directly on this thing again. But it is good for making middle of the night drafts with Google Docs. But it's too slow for serious school and office work.<br />

This super-cheesy whammy-bar fueled version of the Rolling Stones classic has always been a personal guilty pleasure of mine. In fact both sides of this album are worth a listen (it's department store budget albums like this one that also have some of the most kickass talk-over music for your community LPFM radio show.)<br />
<br />
I think this was as close to a psychedelic album as Spin-O-Rama Records ever got. <br />

<i>Do It Debbie's Way</i> may sound like the sequel to something you'd find in the darker corner of your video rental store (usually the one behind the beaded curtains.)<br />
<br />
The late Debbie Reynolds was one of America's 1950 and 60s sweethearts and a legendary actress and singer. And of course, mom to the late Carrie Fisher. And like many stars in the '80s, she also got into the exercise craze.<br />
<br />
But this video wasn't for everybody. You must have a tolerance for '40s style Big Band music. And lots of corny humor attempts. This offering was tailored for a specific audience. Namely the older folks who wanted to lose weight, but didn't want any of that Jane Fonda <a href="https://historysdumpster.blogspot.com/2013/10/1980s-soviet-aerobics-record.html" target="_blank">commie</a> crap (in spite of the fact Jane Fonda was the bourgeois favorite of the '80s.)<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, there's no funked up version of "Tammy" (Reynold's 1957 mega hit) to jazzercise to. But you do get to see poor Shelley Winters (in the most awesome sweatshirt ever for this occasion) trying to keep up with Debbie.....<br />

Greetings again my naughty readers. Today, we're going to look at one of the most bizarre non-music records of the 1960s.<br />
<br />
Not much is known about this album. Yet it remains one of the most collectible non-music LPs for it's rarity and, um, oddness.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Tortura</i> was produced by Los Angeles based Flag Publications, noteworthy for it's um, kinky products. Which of course includes <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #303030; font-size: 17px;">“<i>adult and juvenile discipline, transvestism, home movie and Polaroid hobbyists, exotica, sunbathing groups, male models, leather and rubber apparel, restraint, male and female domination and bondage</i>." So <i>there</i>.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #303030; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #303030; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17px;">The other thing about the Tortura album was that it was </span></span><span style="color: #303030;"><span style="font-size: 17px;">mentioned</span></span><span style="color: #303030; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17px;"> in a 1969 obscenity trial, <a href="https://casetext.com/case/united-states-v-baranov-2" target="_blank"><i>United States v. Baranov</i></a> which ruled against the album along with several pornographic mail-order publications. Could it have been Flag Publications themselves that were on trial?</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #303030; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #303030; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17px;">Listening to Tortura, it's not much more than whipping sounds and lots of "Ooooh"s, "Ahhhh"s "Ohhhh"s. But hardly anything worth making a federal case over. These utterances are more like the commentary you would make at a 6 year old's crayon drawing than anything illicitly sensual. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #303030; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17px;"><br /></span></span></span>

This 1989 cover of The Easybeats' 1966 classic should have been released in America. Seriously.<br />

Elliot Goblet is a persona of Australian comedian Jack Levi. And why Apple and/or Amazon never used Elliot Goblet's voice instead of Siri and Alexa should be worthy of a federal investigation. <br />

The telephone "gossip bench" was a throwback to the early days of the telephone. They were often found in hallways and foyers for privacy. They had space for a telephone and sometimes a directory or drawer space. They typically date from the 1900s to the 1960s (but I remember seeing a few in department store catalogs as late as the 1980s.) But as more people began getting their own phones in their own rooms and private lines, they became obsolete.<br />
<br />
However, they've found new uses today as a book nook or laptop/netbook desks.<br />
