The Whirl-It-Sir Electric Mouse Organ. After being chased from the stage for playing "The Nells of St Mary's" on his mallet-operated Mouse Organ, Mr. Ken Ewing decided maybe the audience was right on the cruelty issue. Besides each mouse was only good for a note or two, before playing flat. He decided to add this electric console.
The specially trained mice would be attached by their tales to the rows of connectors. Then by pressing the top of the connector a circuit would be completed and the mice would emit their tonal squeaks. The diagram in the front shows the mouse setting pattern for the key of C.
This organ was not much more successful. While still emitting the dulcet mouse tones of the manual version, the aroma of slowly frying mice was somewhat off-putting.

I know he is a fine actor, and has been in some good movies.
However, he was still Jim from Taxi to most of the audience at the time.
People were cracking up whenever he appeared on screen.

As one of the maybe 35 people who saw "The Legend of The Lone Ranger" in the theater, I can safely say it failed at the box office for a number of reasons. Tonto the "Uncle Tomahawk," was probably the least of the movie's problems. Klinton Spilsbury would have been better played by a cardboard cutout standee of Clatyon Moore. His line reading was so bad they had to dub in James Keach's voice. And who in the world was responsible for casting Jim from "Taxi." as the Bad Guy? Seriously, every time Butch Cavendish showed up on the screen I half expected him to say "Hey Alex, what do you do at a yellow light?"
At least, Michael Horse was a real Indian--and his career didn't end with that wreck of a movie.
And for the greatest Clayton Moore Lone Ranger anecdote ever, see Jay Thomas' story on Letterman : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFabfnfhIaY

I love Haggis.
The Haggis Booth is my first stop at the Highland Games--then its off for an IrnBru!
Unless it is homemade, Haggis in America is different. Commercial makers cannot use the lungs.
For those really sqeamish folks, there are less "offal" varieties. Including vegetarian haggis!

Man! I remember that ad when I was a kid. I used it to convince my little brother Naugas were real.

Now, after many years of blessed forgetfulness, I have this song running through my head.

Ken Burns produced a great documentary called "Horatio's Drive: America's First Road Trip." It featured Tom Hanks reading Dr. Jackson's letters to his wife.

Burns and historian Dayton Duncan produced a fine companion book.
Word of warning: If you watch the film, the song "He'd Have to Get Under - Get Out And Get Under" will probably get stuck in your head!

According to a letter to his wife, Horatio Nelson Jackson purchased Bud for $15 from a farmer near Caldwell, Idaho. I know, I know: Idaho--Ohio--Omaha--whatever--it was somewhere in that vast nothing between New York and San Francisco.
By the way, The goggles were a necessity for Bud. The Winton automobile driven by Crocker and Jackson had no windshield and the dust kicked up by the tires proved extremely irritating to Bud's eyes. All three wore goggles when the car was in motion.

That is a copper kettle
It is used to clean the copper clappers at the Acme School bell company.
The copper clappers were then stored in a closet by the cleaning lady Clara Clifford. Sadly someone copped the clean copper clappers--Main suspect was Claude Cooper the Kleptomaniac from Cleveland. As a result of the copper clapper caper, Acme School Bell Company went out of business, and all that is left is the copper cleaning Kettle.

Robert Morse, the actor, invented the Telegraph?
All this time, I thought it was Samuel F B Morse who did it.
You learn something new here every day!
Thanks for making me smarter, Neatorama.

BTW, using Sprite or 7-UP is also a good way to make light and fluffy pancakes. That is the way Mom made them when I was a kid 40-odd years ago.
