John Hancock

Given that we groovy people have already, years ago, declared penmanship to be groovy, we groovy people are still in awe of the fact that our founding fathers thought to stand up for righteousness.

And John Hancock signed his name big enough that ol' King George could see it without his glasses. Or spectacles. Or whatever it was they wore to see back in 1776.

Gumption. Well played, John, well played.

Red, White, and Blueberries

What a great, groovy idea for a holiday themed breakfast! (We groovy people would eat this for dessert, a snack, maybe even lunch if no one were looking.) This idea from Mom On Timeout takes toaster waffles to a new level of grooviness! Enjoy!

The Star of Bethlehem

Did you see it last night? It was there, again, just like 2000+ years ago.

Wise men still seek Him.

Walking Taco

You take a small bag of nacho Doritos (or Fritos) and crunch them up. Then, you add to that same bag, all the other taco ingredients (meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream) and eat it with a fork or spoon... to go. Way cool. Way groovy. And portable! Yum!

Onomatopoeia

No one taught us onomatopoeia better than Batman and Robin.

We groovy people see that Calvin & Hobbes are also a fan of it (and so is Marvin the Martian.)

Calvin & Hobbes

Very groovy couple of lads. Representative of every boy I ever knew.

Love them.

Snake Hunting

We Groovy People just have to laugh at this. It's just. Funny.

Muffy's Flash Pants

Too bad this isn't an animated GIF. You'll just have to watch the Arthur episode "Prunella's Prediction."

Bubble Shooter

Groovy, fun game. Simple. Brainless. Addictive, though. Don't say you weren't warned.

Skookum Cats

"Small, sweet, and curly: what's not to love?" says Animal Planet, about this new, tiny (3-5 lbs.) breed of cat. But they also admit that the word Skookum means, in Chinook, "mighty, powerful, and great." So, we groovy people like the cat, and like the word. We just wonder how the two came to be put together.

Peacock Feathers

With a nod to the NBC Peacock, real peacock feathers have their own aura of grooviness. God is such an amazing artist!

Marvin the Martian

Grooviness doesn't end at the stratosphere of Earth. No. It just keeps radiating out, in this case, to beings from other planets. Marvin the Martian tops the alien groovy list.

Cake

Cake is even groovier when it comes from classic Sesame Street. Happy birthday, sweet daughter of mine.

Nickels

Nickels, nickels, nickels! That beautiful sound of clinking nickels!

Can't Fake the Foo

 Arguably the best, and grooviest, chicken fingers. Ever.

Batpoles

Aside from the logistical advantage of getting dressed in the morning in no time, these poles are just really groovy!

Knowledge vs Wisdom

Learn from Mom's wisdom, or beware the mother's curse.

Celery Night Fever

If you have not seen the Veggie Tales episode Celery Night Fever, you are missing a great, groovy experience. It's a lesson about forgiveness, featuring groovy fashion and music.

World Domination

What's better than beating your mom at a board game? Beating your mom and conquering the world!

Mushroom Records

We groovy people find a couple of things delightful about this item. First, we already know that records are groovy. We weren't looking for a hat trick, but hey, serendipity.

Mushroom as a record label. Really? Is that like off-off-off Broadway? RSO, Epic, Decca and Arista aren't afraid of you, Mushroom. "We know you're just the wanna-be bad boy of the family. We only let you hang out with us because you're amusing."

However, "Crazy on You" by Heart, was really big in the late 70s.

We groovy people are surprised that one of the bigger labels didn't sign Heart. Their loss. Sometimes, the one you'd least suspect as being worth anything will come back and surprise you.

Plan B

It doesn't always work out the way we planned. Thank God for more letters.

The Eye of God

We are being watched.

Groovy Cats, Redux

Years ago, we groovy people proclaimed Laurel Burch's cats as groovy. Today, the cat came back! We groovy people are proud to report that she is as groovy as ever. Here's to aging gracefully, my groovy feline friend!

Betsy McCall Paper Dolls

A simpler time, a more modest bathing suit. What's not to love?

Water Balloons

We groovy people have many fond memories of water balloon fights from years passed. We can't remember who won or lost, only that we got really wet, and laughed a lot.

I love this.

Field Day - Again!

It's spring! And you know what that means!

Clogs

The Wall Street Journal says that clogs are in (but only because the 70s are groovy.) We groovy people wore clogs in the 80s, and they cost nowhere near the $1400+ these babies fetch at the Prada store. Just sayin'.

China Teacups

Exquisite in design - my little pinky sticks out just thinking about how much fun these are to drink from!

Doge

Even without comic sans, still groovy. You go, Doge.
