Notice


While We Groovy People are not big fans of the peace sign, per se, this is groovy enough to let it be. The bottom half of the sign is, after all, where the real message lies. Impostors, as you recall, will be fricasseed.

Groovy Blvd

At first glance, this one does seem to lack the 7:16 factor, but you still gotta admit that this is the grooviest street sign you have seen in a loooooong time. I mean it.

It's not all Laugh-In, and trying to tell us what it is. It's just being a street sign. Showing us the way. Unpretentious, like We Groovy People. I like that.

Cat Bag


Wow! It has been a while since We Groovy People have found something worthy of posting here. We are glad to report that this Cat Bag is cute, cute, cute, and worthy of our Groovy proclamation.

The Matthew 7:16 Factor

Ok, in the entire universe of groovy things to discuss, I have a problem with this one. It lacks what I call the "Matthew 7:16 Factor," which says "by their fruits ye shall know them."

An apple tree doesn't stand there yelling "I'm an apple tree! I'm an apple tree!" You know by its fruit that it is an apple tree. Well, this bag has an identity problem.

It's telling me what it is instead of being what it is.

It's not the first groovy item using the actual word "groovy," but it's certainly the last straw. Why do you have to tell me you are groovy? It's like the laugh track on tv shows. You think I don't know when to laugh? How insulting.

I'm thinking we need to make a rule that any item without the Matthew 7:16 factor cannot be included in our groovy discussion.

All talk and no grooviness. Bah.

This is the cutest shirt I have seen in ages. It's super-groovy, and fun and funny!

Tshirts



Groovy Tshirts abound in some areas. Some advertise pizza. Some advertise ... um, nostalgia? Whatever, enjoy the groovy fashion. Your friends will envy you.

Flibbers


Remember the book How to Make Flibbers ? What groovy fun! Free, or nearly so, if you have old newspapers. Good for rainy day fun, or a flibber fight out in the yard.

You can find the book on Amazon.

No wonder everyone wants to be groovy. We are approaching the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, and there is merchandise to be sold!

Brainy kids


Favorite comic of the kid who also loves binary. Gotta love 'im. Click on picture to see if it comes in better.

It's a southern thang!

Swingaway alternative


At our house, we open cans.
We have to open many cans.
And that is why we have a Zans.
A Zans for cans is very good.
Have you a Zans for cans?
You should.
- Dr. Seuss

Swingaway Can Opener


Here's one that came to me today.

I bought myself a Christmas present: a domain name.

Cogswell Cogs or Spacely Sprockets?

Rockola 1493 Princess (1962). Gotta be at least 6 Buddy Holly selections on this thing.

Lily's Edith Ann

Lily Tomlin is groovy. Her characters are the basis of many current comedic works. One of my favorites is Edith Ann.

Olde style elections

Like the ones where you had to actually vote on election day instead of whenever you felt like it.

Ugly Dolls got nothing on this groovy friend of ours from waaaay back. They only wish they'd thought of him first! (Well, ok, we groovy people do kinda like OX and Puglee....)

Penmanship


Penmanship is really a low-priority item in today's schools. Pity. Nice handwriting is really groovy.

Steve Martin


Comic genius, and groovy, groovy guy. Could not ask for more hilarity out of one brain. We groovy people love Steve Martin. And his stand up work. And his SNL appearances. And his movies ("The Jerk" et al). And his book Cruel Shoes.

Pink Graphing Calculators


We groovy people have been informed by a most reliable source that girls who use PINK TI-84's get better Algebra grades than those who use black ones. Boys who use pink ones do not get better grades - they just get beat up.

Fondue!

Oh, yum! Pass the strawberries and let's enjoy this groovy retro-sensation!

Ernestine


We don't care.
We don't have to.
We're the phone company.

Tiny Tim

Tiptoe through the window, by the window that is where I'll be,
Come tiptoe through the tulips with me

Ohhhh!!


Tiptoe from the garden, by the garden of a willow tree

And tiptoe through the tulips with me


Knee deep in flowers we'll stray, we'll keep the showers away

And if I kiss you in the garden, in the moonlight, will you pardon me?

And tiptoe through the tulips with me


Knee deep in flowers we'll stray, we'll keep the showers away
And if I kiss you in the garden, in the moonlight, will you pardon me?

And tiptoe through the tulips with me

Can't you see Chuck Barris doing his happy dance on the Gong Show? I'm gonna play my herb tea bag...

Here's the comic on Youtube

Tom Terrific

What a groovy little guy! And so is his faithful sidekick Mighty Manfred, the Wonder Dog.

Joe Cool



Now who does this remind you of?

Antique Service Station Clocks



Like you'd see at a Sinclair station, or a Buick garage.

The cool little green guy definitely scores on the Groove-O-Meter.

The 47 year old carnival ride. Still the best 75 cents you can spend downtown.
