I Found It - Axel's Christmas!

I FOUND IT I FOUND IT!

My parents, Mom really, had this wacky old vinyl of Axel's Night Before Christmas. Now, Axel was a silly Scandoohovian character played by Clellan Card from the early radio and TV years, the old WCCO stuff.

Well, I found out my mom sadly sold that album, and thus I have been on a quest to find them. I still am looking for the actual vinyl pressing, but this day any digital version is fine by me. Well, last year I found the script to Axel's Night Before Christmas. I donning my memory cap created my own version of the radio play, including silly sound effects and voices. I then uploaded it to youtube.

Well, today, as I was surfing the web, I found that somebody has actually posted the 1938 Axel's Night Before Christmas on Youtube! It's wonderful to hear that silly show again!

So, here it is, my early pre-season gift to you.

Clellan Card as Axel, performing Axel's Night Before Christmas.

Well, what do you think, pretty great huh!

Now, for comparisons sake, here is my version. Please consider that I had the script, but I hadn't heard the true version in 20 plus years.

Happy Holidays everybody!

Spook Show!

Pirates Pictures 2012!

It's that time of the year again! SeaFair in Seattle!

And following our tradition, we capture yet one more picture with a SeaFair Pirate!

Now this year is special to me! The Man in Red, the Captain Kidd of the SeaFair Pirates for 2012 is a friend of mine, Lance, often know by his pirate name, Clapeye.

So, not only did we get a picture with a pirate but with a CAPTAIN no less!

A Two Way Thank You!

So you may have seen my post about my Dollar Shave Club experience .

Well, the good folks at the DSC thought what I did was pretty cool, so they sent me a couple of neat things. They sent my wife the the 4x blade (the lovers blade) and she really likes it for her legs!

They then sent me a wicked comfortable tee shirt. Here's what I did with that.

Hello!

Yep, I am behind! So Let us play some catch up!

My Dollar Shave Club Experience

Hi!

Note: This post is a rather flagrant positive review of a product. I am not endorsed by this company in any way. I just really dig them.

As many of you know, I have facial hair. It's True! Now the real secret is is that I spend more time shaving and futzing around with my face then I would if I didn't have distinctive facial hair. So I consider the various aspects of shaving more than the average bloke. I am a disposable stick razor kind of guy, and that means shelling out loads of money to he big company. Then one day something changed that. I saw a tweet about Dollar Shave Club.

So I watched the video. If you haven't you should -

So, after watching the video, I ordered. Now this is the only moment that so far has caused me any issue. Since they went viral, they got backlogged, so it took some time to get me my kit. Anyways it arrived. In this video I open the box.

And now in this last video, I actually use the razor "live" on camera.

So the verdict. Amazing! The twin blade model (the cheapest one) performs as well (maybe better) than my name brand expensive model with 4 blades.

Since it only cost me a dollar (plus shipping of course, so like $3 a month) It is a huge cost savings, and it is automatic and mailed to me. I will never run out of razors again. Freaking sweet.

So my advice. Get your own. Like today.
