"Hey CRZ," I hear nobody asking me, "how did tweens learn about prime time television forty years ago?" "Man, am I glad you asked me that," I responded, pulling out my trusty copy of Scholastic Book Services' "TV 82," "written" by Dorothy Scheuer with great help from the PR machinery of the three major networks. I am NOT sure all these shows were appropriate for such a young audience but they had 92 pages to fill and apparently not all of these shows made photos available for reuse. (Some shows, on the other hand, got A LOT of cast profiles. Which show got the most pages? You guessed it - "The Dukes of Hazzard.")

HERE'S THE BIG LIST:
p. 1 - The Greatest American Hero (ABC)
p. 4 - The Dukes of Hazzard (CBS)
p. 16 - Diff'rent Strokes (NBC)
p. 22 - The Facts of Life (NBC)
p. 28 - M*A*S*H (CBS)
p. 38 - Happy Days (ABC)
p. 49 - Laverne & Shirley (ABC)
p. 54 - The Love Boat (ABC)
p. 60 - CHiPs (NBC)
p. 67 - GENERAL HOSPITAL's Luke and Laura
p. 71 - LITTLE HOUSE's Matt and Pat
p. 74 - Three's Company (ABC)
p. 79 - THE POWERS OF Peter Barton
p. 81 - HILL STREET BLUES's Hill, Renko and Belker
p. 87 - SHORT TAKES - included are:
One Day at a Time (CBS)
Father Murphy (NBC)
Code Red (ABC)
Code Red again
Lewis and Clark (CBS)
The Fall Guy (ABC)
Mr. Merlin (CBS)
Best of the West (ABC)
Gimme a Break! (NBC)
Simon and Simon (CBS)
Maggie (ABC)
The Two of Us (CBS)
Bret Maverick (NBC)
Kids Are People, Too (ABC)

I did NOT buy this book in 1982....actually I have no idea when I bought it, but surely I looked at the $2 Barnes & Noble outlet pricetag, skimmed through it and thought to myself "gosh, I need to buy this so in 2022 I'll have something to share on Facebook."

Finally, if you ever watched even a single episode of "The Powers of Matthew Star," we should definitely hang out more.

Congrats I guess ;-) to Barb Abney for rejoining the evil empire and hosting their "request show." How STRANGE that after only one guest hosting stint of THIS program, MPR came running - that's my version of how it happened, at least.

Although... that almost subliminal "hey CRZ, wanna trade?" aside she made back on March 26th now carries an exciting new context none of us knew about at the time...

(Nah, just kidding - I've still got six Saturdays left on my sentence)

Today was local vinyl day at the PO Box! First, a long-awaited arrival of my splattered copy of "Ylem" by Sunless (ah shoot, I slept through their Icehouse show, didn't I) - second is the oh so opulent clear double LP from Foam Giant (Flavor Crystals & The Telescopes) which, even though Christian had repeatedly said copies were in the mail, I was still surprised to find mine today. Both of these extremely limited releases still have a very small number of copies available via their Bandcamp pages ("sunlessband" and "flavorcrystals" respectively) or you can just get the digital downloads and get the music without having to figure out where to proudly display the physical versions beyond on your lap for the phone photos

7.4.22 14:35 Speaking of tickets, I DID discover that the ticket I ordered for Alan Parsons Live Project back in May, originally for the State Theatre in September and postponed until two weeks from tonight, never arrived in the mail months ago and I never noticed until now. Fortunately Ticketmaster still has plenty of time to screw me over. ;-)

Last night I read the copy of "Tuesdays with Morrie" I borrowed from the Little Free Library; this morning Facebook On This Day shared this post from my old friend, dungeon master and BBS SYSOP Andy (aka Tequila Willie) from ten years ago - a photo of a KZiM mixtape I apparently sent to him another 20 years prior to THAT. It included a lot of tracks with special meaning to both us. The professor left us in May 2015 but he still makes me smile several times a year. All of these facts are probably unrelated but one never knows.

Of course, I still have my own copy of this tape but no idea if I have a working cassette player beyond the boom box, so no digitized copy, but you can try to imagine which mixes I would have selected 30 years ago and roll your own. Here's the track listing laser printed onto a piece of paper fashioned as an inlay card:

Side One:
Gary Glitter - Rock and Roll (Part 2)
Oran "Juice" Jones - The Rain
The KLF - What Time Is Love?
Big Audio Dynamite II - Rush
The Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls
The Clash - Rock the Casbah
S-Express - Nothing To Lose
The Troggs - Wild Thing
808 State - Lift
808 State - In Yer Face
James Brown - Grits

Side Two:
Mr. Lee - Pump It Up
Alexander O'Neal - Criticize
PM Dawn - Set Adrift on Memory Bliss
ABC - Love Conquers All
Queen - We Will Rock You
The Trashmen - Surfin' Bird
Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell
Primal Scream - Loaded

Well, let's conclude our very narrowly acclaimed Nazi series with anecdote 2366 ("Prisoners") from 1942's Thesaurus of Anecdotes - this one also spanned two separate pages so I have stitched the graphic together very poorly because I am lazy and have lost the will to do anything, really. Thanks for reading!

Take that, mein führer! Here now, anecdote 2344 ("Civilians in War") from 1942's Thesaurus of Anecdotes. One last one tomorrow!

Well, somehow I'm still able to post so let's try again with anecdote 2038 ("Freedom") from 1942's Thesaurus of Anecdotes - the second of four to really give it to those Nazis (this one spans two different pages so here's a stitched photo)

At the request of nobody, but I'm sure you were curious: "Hey CRZ, in 1942's Thesaurus of Anecdotes, did they include any stories about Nazis?" Why yes, they did! Let's see how many of the four I can post before I get ZUCKED. We start with Anecdote 1148 ("Mathematicians").

Well... it's an interesting collaboration, but on initial listen doesn't really grab me or anything
23.3.22 01:04 Reposting for Matthew, Elena, Bill and I forget who else I just talked to about Sunless. I know they're playing Saturday and I am prrrrrrrrrobably missing that one but definitely gonna try to catch the Icehouse one. 22.3.22 17:56 
Say, remember when I told you one day I'd be asking you for a character reference after you mistakenly complimented me? I'm still looking for one more Minneapolis resident who would care to tell anybody calling them that I have a fair and intriguing civic mind and would definitely be a welcome addition to the city's Charter Commission! You will need to provide me with an address and phone number which the city will then have, but they will be protected and NOT become public information, and to be honest if you're already paying a water bill they already know your address. 22.3.22 17:15

A killer nap Sunday afternoon means I'm about 12 hours late to share with you this bag of Ruffles Flamin' Hot BBQ presented by flavour master Jayson Tatum. First thing is I don't think I've had barbecue Ruffles this millennium and can't remember the last time I've even seen that varietal. Like all the other Flamin' Hot instances, the Frito-Lay company takes great pains to make sure the red dye is ubiquitous and easily transferrable to all surfaces, so you gotta be really careful to just keep it on your fingertips and interior mouth area. NOW THEN. Heat was pretty weak at first, gradually built, but still didn't pack the wallop that the Doritos ones have. It didn't really make the barbecue tastes any better and was just kinda another thing. Not as thrilling as Jayson would have had me believe, so point awarded to LeBron James. I have NOT bought the jalapeño and lime yet but do plan to keep an eye on the next chip sale.
