Could this be Sanity Found?  It’s just possible she is Sanity, The Cookie Monster Slayer:

Be afraid… be very afraid.

Dive Into The Public Library

When you dive into your public library, do you dive deep or shallow?  I frequent the mystery section – I assume I’m somewhere around the 4′ deep (or shallow) section of the pool.  I also enjoy swimming in the classics and biography (but not celebrity biography) – I assume I’m enjoying my swim somewhere in the middle of the pool.

Five for Friday – The Top “Scary” Songs for Halloween

It’s October, thus it’s time for some frightening fun.  Pop Culture Madness offers its visitors an opportunity to vote on top stuff.  Here is the Scariest Pop Music of All Time (as determined by visitors to Pop Culture Madness) – these are the top five songs, but the complete list is at the end of this post or you can click here:

The Monster Mash by Bobby “Boris” Pickett and the Cryptkickers – lot’s of fun!

Haunted House by Jumpin’ Gene Simmons (not the one from KISS).

Thriller by Michael Jackson.  More a film than a video, but very well done with top talent (and great dancing) – this was made before Jacko became so wacko.

Ghost Busters by Ray Parker, Jr.  A fun video with lots of cameos of people who were popular at the time.

Ghostriders in the Sky by The Ramrods.  No lyrics with this version, but the video has Clint Eastwood – a must for anything to do with country.

The complete list (Frankenstein and Psycho Killer should have been ranked higher.  Spooky at #9? – I don’t think so):

1. Monster Mash – Bobby “Boris” Pickett

Tears for Fears – Literally… in the Library

Here’s the next entry in Literal Music Videos.  Although I liked the A-Ha video better, I thought this one was also clever.  Watch for the kid wearing the Red Sox jersey, he seems to be a real fan.  I also thought the mullet section was funny.

Enjoy!

A-Ha – Take On Me… Literally!

Have you ever watched a music video that has nothing to do with the song?  What about a song that is (very literally) about the video?

This video is funny (at least to me).  Someone took a music video (here’s the original by A-Ha), then used the original music with new lyrics that describe what is taking place in the video:

R-E-S-P-E-C-T the 60’s – Top Songs of the Decade

Lately, all we are hearing about is change.  The 1960’s was a great era for change.

The Beatles changed the way we listened to music, Little Eva changed the way we danced, Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto changed the way we enjoyed elevators, Tony Bennett changed the way we enjoyed San Francisco, Joan Baez changed the way we protested, Roy Orbison changed the way we wore sunglasses…

Singers of standards gave way to the British Invasion, dance music gave way to listening, innocence gave way to protest…

Shotgun – The Rules that Decide Who Gets the Front Passenger Seat

Have you ever gone on a trip with your friends/family or just ridden around town with your fraternity/sorority/work/shiftless friends?  Has one or more of these friends (or maybe you) ever called shotgun, then proceeded to try to explain the rules of why they should be allowed to ride in the front passenger seat?  My son does this all the time – and he’s the only one in our family who’s ever called it. 

Well, now you can whip out a list of shotgun rules and put those friends/family in their place (the back seat or trunk).  My son asked me to print two copies and put one in each of our vehicles – again, he’s the only one in our family who has ever actually called shotgun.  My habit is to yell, “Last one to the car has to drive” – Hey, it works for me!

Here are The Shotgun Rules:

(These are found at TDY Shotgun Rules, compiled by the Airborne Early Warning Association on their Library Page)

THE SHOTGUN RULES
version 1.1

The rules listed below apply to the calling of Shotgun (the front passenger seat) in an automobile. These rules are definitive and binding.

Section I – The Basic Rules

1. In order to call Shotgun, the caller must pronounce the word “Shotgun” in a clear voice. This call must be heard and acknowledged by the driver. The other occupants of the vehicle need not hear the call as long as the driver verifies the call.
2. Shotgun may only be called if all occupants of the vehicle are outside and on the way to said vehicle.
3. Early calls are strictly prohibited. Shotgun may only be called while walking toward the vehicle and only applies to the drive immediately forthcoming. Shotgun can never be called while inside a vehicle or still technically on the way to the first location. For example, one can not get out of a vehicle and call Shotgun for the return journey.
4. The driver has final say in all ties and disputes. The driver has the right to suspend or remove all shotgun privileges from one or more persons.

Section II – Special Cases
These special exceptions to the rules above should be considered in the order presented; the case listed first will take precedence over any of the cases beneath it, when applicable:

1. In the instance that the normal driver of a vehicle is drunk or otherwise unable to perform their duties as driver, then he/she is automatically given Shotgun.
2. If the instance that the person who actually owns the vehicle is not driving, then he/she is automatically given Shotgun, unless they decline.
3. In the instance the the driver’s spouse, lover, partner, or date for the evening is going to accompany the group, he/she is automatically given Shotgun, unless they decline.
4. In the instance that one of the passengers may become so ill during the course of the journey that the other occupants feel he/she will toss their cookies, then the ill person should be given Shotgun to make appropriate use of the window.
5. In the instance that only one person knows how to get to a given location and this person is not the driver, then as the designated navigator for the group they automatically get Shotgun, unless they decline.
6. In the instance that one of the occupants is too wide or tall to fit comfortably in the back seat, then the driver may show mercy and award Shotgun to the genetic misfit. Alternatively, the driver and other passengers may continually taunt the poor fellow as they make a three hour trip with him crammed in the back.

Section III – The Survival of the Fittest Rule

1. If the driver so wishes, he/she may institute the Survival of the Fittest Rule on the process of calling Shotgun. In this case all rules, excepting Section I – #4, are suspended and the passenger seat is occupied by whoever can take it by force.
2. The driver must announce the institution of the Survival of the Fittest Rule with reasonable warning to all passengers. This clause reduces the amount of blood lost by passengers and the damage done to the vehicle.

Please follow the above rules to the best of your ability. If there are any arguments or exceptions not covered in these rules, please refer to rule Section I – #4.

Rejected Best-Sellers – If At First You Don’t Succeed (Try, Try, Again)

For those of you who have aspirations of becoming a best selling author, here are 14 best-selling books that were repeatedly rejected by publishers – as originally reported by How Things Work:

1. Auntie Mame by Patrick Dennis
   Based on his party-throwing, out-of-control aunt, Patrick Dennis’s story defined in 1955 what Americans now know as “camp.” However, before Vanguard Press picked it up, 15 other publishers rejected it. Within years, Auntie Mame would not only become a hit on Broadway but a popular film as well. Dennis became a millionaire and, in 1956, was the first author in history to have three books simultaneously ranked on The New York Times best-seller list.
2. Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach
   Richard Bach has always said that this story, told from the point of view of a young seagull, wasn’t written but channeled. When he sent out the story, Bach received 18 rejection letters. Nobody thought a story about a seagull that flew not for survival but for the joy of flying itself would have an audience. Boy, were they wrong! Macmillan Publishers finally picked up Jonathan Livingston Seagull in 1972, and that year the book sold more than a million copies. A movie followed in 1973, with a sound track by Neil Diamond.
3. Chicken Soup for the Soul by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen
   Within a month of submitting the first manuscript to publishing houses, the creative team behind this multimillion dollar series got turned down 33 consecutive times. Publishers claimed that “anthologies don’t sell” and the book was “too positive.” Total number of rejections? 140. Then, in 1993, the president of Health Communications took a chance on the collection of poems, stories, and tidbits of encouragement. Today, the 65-title series has sold more than 80 million copies in 37 languages.
4. Kon-Tiki by Thor Heyerdahl
   With a name like Thor, adventure on the high seas is sort of a given, isn’t it? In 1947, Heyerdahl took a crew of six men on a 4,300-mile journey across the Pacific Oc­ean. But not on a cruise ship — their vessel was a reproduction of a prehistoric balsa wood raft, and the only modern equipment they carried was a radio. Heyerdahl wrote the true story of his journey from Peru to Polynesia, but when he tried to get it published, he couldn’t. One publisher asked him if anyone had drowned. When Heyerdahl said no, they rejected him on the grounds that the story wouldn’t be very interesting. In 1953, after 20 rejections, Kon-Tiki finally found a publisher — and an audience. The book is now available in 66 languages.
5. The Peter Principle by Laurence Peter
   In 1969, after 16 reported rejections, Canadian professor Laurence Peter’s business book about bad management finally got a green light from Bantam Books. Within one year, the hardcover version of The Peter Principle was in its 15th reprint. Peter went on to write The Peter Prescription, The Peter Plan, and the unintentionally amusing The Peter Pyramid: Will We Ever Get to the Point? None of Peter’s follow-up books did as well as the original, but no one can deny the book’s impact on business publishing.
6. Dubliners by James Joyce
   It took 22 rejections before a publisher took a chance on a young James Joyce in 1914. They didn’t take too big of a chance — only 1,250 copies of Dubliners were initially published. Joyce’s popularity didn’t hit right away; out of the 379 copies that sold in the first year, Joyce himself purchased 120 of them. Joyce would go on to be regarded as one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. Dubliners, a collection of short stories, is among the most popular of Joyce’s titles, which include A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Finnegans Wake, and Ulysses.
7. Lorna Doone by Richard Doddridge Blackmore
   You know you’ve done well when you’ve got a cookie named after your novel’s heroine. Not only does Nabisco’s Lorna Doone cookie remind us of Blackmore’s classic, but there are nearly a dozen big-screen or TV versions of the story as well. This Devonshire-set romance of rivalry and revenge was turned down 18 times before being published in 1889. Today, Blackmore is considered one of the greatest British authors of the 19th century, though his popularity has waned over time.
8. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig
   Pirsig’s manuscript attempts to understand the true meaning of life. By the time it was finally published in 1974, the book had been turned down 121 times. The editor who finally published Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance said of Pirsig’s book, “It forced me to decide what I was in publishing for.” Indeed, Zen has given millions of readers an accessible, enjoyable book for seeking insight into their own lives.
9. M*A*S*H by Richard Hooker
   Before the television series, there was the film. Before the film, there was the novel. Richard Hooker’s unforgettable book about a medical unit serving in the Korean War was rejected by 21 publishers before eventually seeing the light of day. It remains a story of courage and friendship that connects with audiences around the world in times of war and peace.
10. Carrie by Stephen King
    If it hadn’t been for Stephen King’s wife, Tabitha, the iconic image of a young girl in a prom dress covered in pig’s blood would not exist. King received 30 rejections for his story of a tormented girl with telekinetic powers, and then he threw it in the trash. Tabitha fished it out. King sent his story around again and, eventually, Carrie was published. The novel became a classic in the horror genre and has enjoyed film and TV adaptations as well. Sometimes all it takes is a little encouragement from someone who believes in you.
11. Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
    The only book that Margaret Mitchell ever published, Gone With the Wind won her a Pulitzer Prize in 1937. The story of Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler, set in the South during the Civil War, was rejected by 38 publishers before it was printed. The 1939 movie made of Mitchell’s love story, which starred Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh, is the highest grossing Hollywood film of all time (adjusted for inflation).
12. A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle
    The publishing house of Farrar, Straus and Giroux was smart enough to recognize the genius in L’Engle’s tale for people of all ages. Published in 1962, the story was awarded the prestigious Newbery Medal the following year. Wrinkle remains one of the best-selling children’s books of all time, and the story of precocious children and the magical world they discover was adapted for television in 2001. Still, L’Engle amassed 26 rejections before this success came her way.
13. Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison by Charles Shaw
    In 1952, Crown Publishing Group in New York took a chance on the story of a shipwreck in the South Pacific. Shaw, an Australian author, was rejected by dozens of publishers on his own continent and by an estimated 20 British publishing firms, too. By 1957, this humorous tale was made into a movie starring Deborah Kerr and Robert Mitchum. The story and the movie are considered war classics and garnered several Academy Award nominations, including one for Best Writing.
14. Dune by Frank Herbert
    This epic science-fiction story was rejected by 23 publishers before being accepted by Chilton, a small Philadelphia publisher. Dune quickly became a success, winning awards such as the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1966. Dune was followed by five sequels, and though none did as well as the original, a film version of the book starring rock star Sting did quite well and remains a cult favorite.

Contributing writers to the original article: Helen Davies, Marjorie Dorfman, Mary Fons, Deborah Hawkins, Martin Hintz, Linnea Lundgren, David Priess, Julia Clark Robinson, Paul Seaburn, Heidi Stevens, and Steve Theunissen.

Enjoy!
