The attachment comes from the “CONDÉ NAST STORE”, the 6″ × 8″ version’s base price is $127.82.
In case the resolution doesn’t hold, the illustrator is Albert Hubbell.

Are you really thinking somebody here wants to order a five foot tall print of this cover?

Or even a two foot tall version?

Just curious.

There’s one negative, possibly even fatal, effect of some people singing that’s not mentioned on this poster.

Perhaps if you sing, you’ll have positive reactions.

If I were to go around singing, I know from experience that I’d be terribly hurt by the winces, groans, and other reactions I’d elicit…

and possibly physically injured by the thrown objects, and even by forcible attempts to stop me.

And if I still wouldn’t stop…. «shudder»… someone could be tempted…to… um…. let’s say …to apply a permanent solution.

I’m just that good.

Yes, I have. No fun, but trying to sing?
I had teeth extracted and it was a challenge every time to get back to speaking clearly, not to mention singing or whistling…
Get MMM some ear-plugs if necessary – but at least trying to sing would help you both physically and mentally!

I agree, Susan. If I were to sing in public, there would be no positive effects.

My problem is that, while pianos have white keys and black keys, I tend to sing on the cracks between them.

I never visualized 3 Dog Night as a group of well groomed, bell-bottomed singers with a backup of musicians.

Sometimes they did look a little rougher, but it doesn’t seem to be like, say, with the Beatles or the Stones, who started out clean-cut and got shaggier.

Three Dog Night looks better groomed in one video than the next, in whatever order you look at them… they even went back and forth in the same year.

They also broke up, reunited, and changed personnel to the point that I seldom recognised them.

Chuck Negron, the one who sings lead here and is the only one who always looked familiar to me, AFAIK left the band decades ago…

Yet I see that they’re still on tour, depending on how you define “they.”

Similar to the attachment, and…
 

…this peanut brittle recipe (I’ve posted it before on ‘Cleo and Company’, but decided to put it in a spoiler box this time).

 
From:
“Woman’s Day Collector’s Cook Book (revised and enlarged)
Published by: Simon and Schuster, New York
SBN: 671-21986-3
 
““Peanut Brittle”
A light, porous brittle.
 
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon margarine (I use butter)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups raw Spanish peanuts (see Note)
1 teaspoon baking soda

 
Instructions for recipe
Put first 4 ingredients in saucepan over medium heat and stir until sugar is dissolved.
Add peanuts and cook, stirring 15 to 20 minutes, or until peanuts are a light golden brown (296° F. on candy thermometer).
Remove from heat and stir in soda (mixture will foam). Spread quickly on well-greased baking sheet.
When cool break in pieces. Makes about 1 1/2 pounds.
 
Notes from me:
Raw (unroasted) peanuts are available in nut shops, health-food stores and occasionally in supermarkets.

I’ll try that this weekend.
Getting the melting temperature is the tricky part, and something I’ve never been really good at.
I have an induction cooker and a really good non-stick frying pan so maybe I can make it work.
I’ll report back Monday, but (if I’m successful) like Perky’s Christmas fudge, (how did it go this year?) it will probably be at even my outside limit for sweet.

A year or two ago, that candy was a worldwide fad.

Not in my circles… I only know from seeing it online.

It apparently used to be mostly a children’s game, breaking out designs halfway stamped into the round candy.

In the show “Squid Game”, which I’ve never watched, grown people had to win it, or be killed.

They called the candy “Dalgona”, which Maangchi also mentions in your link.

I saw clips last year where fans actually traveled to Korea to taste it and play the game, minus the fatal consequences.

It was a thing (including the game) in her youth – and she’s no spring chicken anymore.
I’ve successfully tried that recipe several years ago (when Maangchi first posted it and “Squid Game” wasn’t invented yet. Good times!).
Easy to make and surprisingly tasty.

Apropos of nothing:
 
I finally went looking for, and found, a good copy of “No Time to Die”; the James Bond film franchise has reached the point where it should just stop.
When I finally read the books in order a few years back, it struck me that Fleming had written Bond as a bit of a klutz. Without Felix Leiter, he would never have accomplished anything.
Then the movies came along, and turned him into the character most people know today; not a bad thing, I enjoyed watching all of the ones I watched (including George Lazenby’s “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” / weird, I know) there were a few I missed due to circumstances.
But as I said, the franchise has reached its end point.
As a side note, I went looking for “No Time to Die” because the “Quantum Leap” reboot went back into hiatus apparently because of the NFL play-offs.
So episode 11 isn’t airing until January 30.

IMO, “IHMSS” was one of the better ones.
I’ve seen “From Russia with Love” at the movies back then when I was an early teenager and the others starring Sean Connery on TV – Fun to watch, but I liked the parodies even better. “Casino Royale” with David Niven, Woody Allen, Ursula Undress 😉 and others.
Anyone familiar with “Derek Flint”?

I was never a big fan of either the “Our Man Flint” (James Coburn) or the “Matt Helm” series.
But one scene from the Matt Helm series that I still smile about is this one with Dean Martin as Matt Helm.

I love how the world’s most lenient dog-parents just sit there, watch it start to unfold, and let it happen.

Until the bowl hits the wall, they can’t be sure one of them isn’t the target, but do they run, or flinch, or .. heaven forbid!… yell?

Hah! Not a word of reproach, much less a firm “Confound it, Cleo!”

I’m not sure what they say instead of “No thanks” when they’re offered more coffee, cos the word “No” isn’t part of their vocabulary.

As long as Cleo keeps getting away with it, she is going to keep doing it. I’ll bet there are other dogs out there who wish they had a catapult.
