Records, Redux

Aristarchus of Samos would be proud.

The Return of Screaming Yellow Zonkers

They are/were at Walgreens for a limited engagement. Why are we groovy people just now hearing about this?

Royal Commands

Royal commands can be groovy - that is, when one is commanded to do the very thing one does without having been commanded.

Do It Yourself Peter Maxx

Pass the colored Flair pens...

More Braininess! (Is that a word?)

We groovy people want this Tshirt (in another color) from Mental Floss. Oh, the grooviness of brainy people! We love them!

Shemar Moore's eyebrow

It's just that perfect.

Wing Windows

Window technology has come a long way. I suppose that the wing window allowed you to direct air in the car while simultaneously allowing the main window to be rectangular for the ease of engineering the frame, handle, etc. Now that designers have figured out a way to make a not-rectangular window go into the door pocket, they have also figured out that one window is cheaper than two, and adios wing windows. Pity. They are groovy. We miss them. And we don't even smoke.

French Toast

French toast. With butter & syrup. Powdered sugar works, too. Yum. Groovy breakfast. Ooh la la = French for "How groovy!"

The Most Interesting Cat in the World

Love him.

Converse Nails

Ok, while this is not actually something we groovy people would personally wear, we applaud the groovy, unexpected, delightful expression of personal identity known as nail art. Who thinks of this stuff? Way to go.

Mental Floss

Here's what Mental Floss has to say about the word Groovy:

First heard amongst jazz musicians in the 1920s, groovy — or groovey — was a word used to describe music that was played with feeling and finesse. It was based on the phrase “in the groove,” which referred to the way a phonograph needle on a record player followed the grooves of a record. To be groovy was to be in perfect sync with the music. Strangely, in 1947, 20th Century Fox used the word in a promo trailer to describe and promote the Christmas classic Miracle on 34th Street. The word made a major comeback in the 1960s, of course, as a kind of generic for anything good, as when Simon & Garfunkel famously sang, “Life I love you, all is groovy.” The Austin Powers films brought the word back again in the ‘90s, in a kitschy way. And kitschy is what groovy will probably remain.

Here's what we groovy people have to say:

Austin Powers is a wanne be, jealous impostor, nothing more. Just sayin'.

Time Enough

What is the grooviest thing about a holiday like New Year's Day, when everything is closed and you have the day off to do anything? Time. Time enough. Time enough to read, or, whatever. At last. We groovy people love having time enough.

Screaming Yellow Zonkers

Got the munchies?  Sorry. ...no longer available

But still groovy.

Beyond Silver

Sometimes silver duct tape just doesn't do it with enough pizzazz. You just need something groovier to get the job done.

Totally Legal Eye Cannons

Love 'em.

Puzzles

Puzzles that make you think. Groovy.

Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry sauce, served in its own exquisite antique dish, with its own silver spoon (used for nothing but cranberry sauce because, after all, it excels at the one thing it does) is groovy.

Sock Monkeys, Hat Trick

A sock monkey Christmas tree ornament? These guys are everywhere! Did the patent run out?

Sock Monkeys, Redux

We gave up looking for Waldo in the 90s. Now we're looking for sock monkey. Wait - are you sure the washer didn't eat him?

Inside We're All the Same

Life Is Short - Play With Your Dog

True dat.

Autumn Mix

Angry Birds

Learn physics and trajectories... while playing video games. Sort of a kinder, gentler Tank Wars, n'est-ce pas?

Jello

There's always room for Jello.
