Let's Put Here Back In Hereditary!

Woooooooooo! I hope you've been enjoying a wonderful first week of October, a month of many names. Isn't it peachy-keen for one month to be known as both Adopt-A-Dog Month, Computer Learning Month, National Apple Jack Month, National Car Care Month, National Clock Month, National Cosmetology Month, National Dessert Month, National Pickled Pepper Month, National Popcorn Poppin' Month, National Pretzel Month, National Sarcastics Month, National Seafood Month, National Kitchen and Bath Month, and Vegetarian Awareness Month? :) You know I like my peppers pickled and my baths full of dahlia leaves, so, let the popcorn keep poppin', kettle corn if you've got any! :)



My Scorpio birthday is on October 28th, which is known as both Plush Animal Lover's Day and National Chocolate Day. My sister Ellie is also a Scorpio (imagine having to raise not one but two Scorpio children, LOL!), which her birthday is on October 25th, Punk For A Day Day! :) Yep, that pretty well sums it up, can't let go of that Fall Out Boy and Green Day unless you throw the Chicago! soundtrack her way! :)

Behind each day, there’s a whole story once told begging for attention. I think it’s amazing how we’ve come so far yet we never take the time to acknowledge all the wonderful milestones and crowning strokes on each very day before as we are self-indulged each day in our lil’ cynosure of five-minute showers and Go-Gurts. Sometimes we are often tempted to say that’s the story of our life, when everything truly is revolving around you every moment, only to realize that proverbial revolving door suddenly swings you out fifteen feet when you are subconscious and you had lost balance.



I am convinced more than ever each day "Everything is interconnected", thus that notion has encouraged me to begin the "Let's Put Here Back In Hereditary!" campaign! :) No, you don't even to adopt a Foster Hewitt during a Toronto Maple Leaves Stanley Cup Championship timbre to find the energy to embrace each day, you're the star of the day! :)



Did you know it was on this day in 1881 when Edward Leveaux received a patent for the player piano? Yeppers, it is thanks to this chap that your fellow keyboard cognoscentes continue to sleuth away on the keys during power pop concerts. That very Yamaha that’s currently sitting alongside your ping-pong table you only use twice a year in your garage is part of the story of your life, we just don’t think of it often.



You remember "Dick Tracy", right? Well, he arrived on the scene on this day back in 1931, when our publishing polymath Chester Gould gave Duck Tracy its featured debut in the Detroit Daily Mirror. (Ah, yes, "Esquire" also was published for the first time on this day back in 1933, George Petty is one who never grows old, does he! ;) )

But I mean, can you even believe there are so many magazines and tabloids that always write this stuff out about Martha Stewart getting in trouble for making jelly for her toast out of berries from the prison patch, or “Desperate Housewives’ star Eva Longoria cheats on TV...AND IN REAL LIFE TOO!", or "Ashlee Simpson to Perform "Live" for AOL". In their eyes, it’s all NEWS. Better yet, you can easily find it at the check-out register in every local supermarket, while the other newspapers are tucked away in the aisle next to laundry detergent and cosmetics, so, according to Radok, it must be our #1 Most Trusted News Source. They basically use the same slogan as the Oregonian uses; "Practically Indispensible". They know if you put a picture of a milkman in the paper, it won’t sell, but if you stamp one with Regis Philbin dressed up as Nick Lachey in there, that’s a double play loud enough to put Chick Hearn into a force of habit and bellow out, "You can put this one in the refrigerator. The door's closed, the light's out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard and the Jell-O is jiggling, and I haven’t even turned on the stove yet!" Or if you thought the first complete English translation of the Bible was printed in Zurich, Switzerland on this day in 1535, wait until you hear about that purported likeness of the Virgin Mary in a cheese sandwich discovered by that eBay jewelry designer, or the single grain of breakfast cereal with an uncanny resemblance to cuddly movie alien E.T,. Sure, it's inspiring that the first volunteer fire department was established in New York in 1648, but...look at the toast, it’s sooooooo cool! (giggles)

I just think, why don’t we take advantage of the day and write out our own self-celebrity editions for each day and make our own history from it? That’s what everyone wants, right? We’re all our own best celebrity, so maybe if we embrace that truth, the world may be spinning a lot faster than we have more to entertain the world with, not to mention entertain ourselves.



I was thinking maybe something like this. Here's what I put together last December 4th, the day that I began the "Let's Put Here Back In Herditary!" campaign, when on this day, Little Freddy, a.k.a Freddy ‘Boom Boom’ Cannon, a.k.a Freddy Cannon, a.k.a Freddy Karmon, a.k.a Frederick Anthony Picariello arrived on the scene that day in 1940, who would grow up to become our Rock N. Roll Baby, and courtesy of Boom Boom, he gave us such cannonades as “Transistor Sister”, “Tallahassee Lassie” and “Way Down Yonder in New Orleans”.



Reading about that, and being familiar with his music, the lyrics of "Abigail Beecher" immediately came back to me and I thought, "Hey, does Abigail Beecher still teach? I guess I’m going to have call his supervisor. I mean, honestly, have you ever know a teacher who knows her history from A to Z, drives a XKE AND dance the Watusi? Come on, you’re killing us, you loose cannon, share the wealth!"

So here we go, hot off the bulk press! :)

Noah Eaton Claims ‘Dancing The Monkey’ With Abigail Beecher

Noah reportedly has sheeps eyes for Lana Lang.

MISTLETOPIA: It seems Mitchell Leisen may still be writing screenplays; only this time in the inner-most desires of our subconsciousness.

Noah Eaton of Portland, Oregon claims he "could have sworn" visiting Abigail Beecher” in his dreams last night, where he reportedly "danced the monkey" along with a full high school auditorium.

"I recall hearing Freddy’s song back when I was nine!" Eaton told The Daily Sparkplug for its Saturday edition. "She had that sloppy sweater, pony tail, blue sunglasses, I knew it had to have been her!"

Asking if Ms. Beecher indeed knew her history from A to Z, Eaton responded, “When you know all the astronomers from Marc Aaronson to Fritz Zwicky, who could possibly be wrong?”



The reported dream interpreter did not immediately reply to e-mailed queries seeking comment, claiming he just wanted to "dream up a dream date" with sexy "Smallville" dreamboat Kristin Kreuk!

"There’s something about someone who is both unassuming yet attention-getting that’s very sexy!" Eaton replied. "Superman dumped her for Lois Lane, now's the time to make my seasons greetings to her."

Freddy Cannon’s "Abigail Beecher", which peaked at #16 on the Billboard chart in 1964, a song about a history teacher who enchants a local high school with her rock-and-roll attitude and surfing moves, became a cultural sensation.
