Carbon Paper

Yes, Virginia, they do still make carbon paper. You can buy it at Staples. Who knew? How groovy.

Irony

We groovy people laugh at the irony - the unexpected. Creative, and clever, and a big "Well done!" to photographer Chema Madoz.

Good Advice, Redux

This is the best advice We Groovy People have heard in a while. Please follow it.

Playing With Your Food

Allegedly the largest work of art made from toast, this 16' x 16' Mona Lisa in Hong Kong is groovy. We Groovy People hope the artist didn't get scolded by his mother for playing with his food, because this is much more contributive to our culture than a guy buying fat pants for all the toast he ate, know whut I mean?

Landshark, Redux

We groovy people love this hat.

Wonky Visual Cues

What season is it? The pumpkins and red leaves say Autumn. The snowflakes and lights say Winter. H'mmm. Makes ya think. Ain't that groovy?

Animals Who Drive

They probably went to the Toonces Driving School.

Trendsetters

Lady Ga Ga's Granny (ok, it's really Hedda Hopper) had no idea that she was ahead of her "Time." She was groovy before it was fashionable to be groovy. Trendsetters are groovy.

Friday Night Lights

Team loyalty is awesome. And groovy.

Bricka-bracka fire cracker
siss - boom - bah!
Bugs Bunny
Bugs Bunny
Rah Rah Rah!

Go team. Be groovy. And win, while you're out there. Woot.

Hog Days

Still groovy after all these years.

Sunday Funnies

Whether they land on your front lawn before sunrise, or show up in your mailbox on a letter from a friend, the Sunday funnies are a groovy diversion from the seriousness of life.

Fabric

Oh, look! Here is some groovy fabric, just in case you're inclined to sew a groovy quilt for your favorite groovy children and grandchildren.

Star Wars Cupcakes

What groovy cupcakes! You know you want one... or a couple dozen.

Flexible Calculator

If you need a calculator that is neither serious nor scientific, here is a fun, flexible, multicolored option. The colors blend wildly like the mystery flavor Dum Dums. Groovy.

Good Advice

Good advice is always groovy. And so are those who heed it.

Why didn't I think of this?

What a groovy idea! Wish I'd thought of it.

Twins Separated at Birth?

Helpful Children

This is a helpful girl who taught Vacation Bible School classes so that her mom could go to a job interview. The children liked her so well, they asked her to come back again the next day!

Zelda Ocarina

The only thing groovier than having a 9-hole Zelda Ocarina is having a boy who can play the Zelda tunes on it. Watch for groovy Youtube links as they become available.

Field Day

We groovy people believe that *every* day is Field Day. And that is good. And groovy.

Playing on Escalators

Playing on escalators can be fun.... as long as you're careful. We can hear Mom now, "If you lose your toe on that thing, don't come running to me!"

Love Notes on Windshields

Mr. Potato Head

With REAL potatoes

80s Classic Movies

Some movies define a decade. This groovy movie "is" the 80s.

Action Figures

We had art in school today. Did you know Van Gogh cut off his ear? We groovy people do not endorse Steve Martin's weight loss advice (lopping off body parts until you achieve your goal) but action figures are really groovy, for kids of all ages.

Lemon Pie

If Sammy thinks it's groovy, who are we groovy people to argue with him?

Great American Stories

Tom Sawyer is groovy

Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler

So you're standing along Main Street in some little town in lower Alabama, minding your own business, when here comes a parade. It has the JROTC carrying the flag, it has marching bands, truck bands, and six ginormous floats. Atop these floats are people who throw things at you. Like Moonpies. Stuffed animals. Beads. Lots o' beads. Shiny beads. Interesting beads. How groovy is that?

Good Moms, Great Moms

A good mom...
A great mom...

You know the joke.
It's groovy, like moms.

Homemade Cookies

Everyone knows that homemade cookies are groovier than store-bought cookies. For one, you can pronounce all the ingredients in these: (real) butter, sugar, flour, pecans.

In addition, Mom's cookies have a secret ingredient that factories can never duplicate: L-O-V-E.

We groovy people love these cookies.

The Bridge at Windmont Park

In season or out of season, this bridge is a groovy place to socialize with our groovy friends.

Ralphie

We groovy people are not big fans of tattoos, but this one is particularly noteworthy. If we groovy people did like tattoos, we would like this one best.

Rope Light Nativity

Having sought unsuccessfully for several years to replace this rope light nativity whose lights were going out, Martha Stewart visited our home and patched in the darkened areas with clear rope lights wrapped in colored cellophane. At night, one can hardly tell the difference between the Live and the Memorex. Tres groovy, n'est-ce pas?

Whimsical Feather Ball

The whimsical feather ball is a perfect addition to this groovy fall arrangement.

Colorful Sunsets

This photo of Mobile Bay was taken (by yerz trooly) at Mayday Park in Daphne, AL on Saturday Nov 28, 2009.

Colorful sunsets are beautiful sights to behold. If this great gift from God is not groovy, nothing is!

Snoopy & "Woodstock"

This just struck us as odd because it's Snoopy and Woodstock.

The other Woodstock.

Sometimes irony is the groovy way to go.

Peace Dog

If this Tshirt were in dog size, I'd swear it was made for Pablo. However, it's for people. Maybe Pablo can sell them on his website. That would be groovy.

This Car

I thought this car was pretty groovy....








even before I saw the license plate!

Cider Donuts

I know, only borderline groovy, but I like em.

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.

Soulmates

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.

Independence Day

The best 33-second fireworks display I've ever seen.
