Classic Rock Lyrics?

Selma, methinks your family is right!

Barfle and Selma, how do you make a chip bowl out of a record? It wouldn't involve a blow dryer, would it? And wouldn't it be messy with salt leaking out of the spindle hole?

Part 1) you put it over an upside-down pyrex bowl and stick it in a medium-hot oven. The plastic softens and wilts, then droops, then you take it out of the oven and let it harden again, still over the pyrex bowl.

Part 2) no, this was before blow dryers. Yes, there was a before for blow dryers.

Part 3) you put a piece of masking tape over the hole before you spray paint your nifty new chip bowl.

Next subject: crazed glass marbles.

These days you could plug the spindle hole with epoxy or some other suitable material. If you wanted to look for them, I imagine you could find plastic plugs like those in salt shakers to go in the hole as well, although you might have to make the hole a little bigger so the plug would fit.

There's a hardware store not all that far from me that sells those plugs - it's amazing! Stravinsky has been there, and she agrees. If anyone in SoCal remembers Lyn-Brook hardware in Anaheim or Clark Dye in Santa Ana, it's on a par with them (and both of them are history, I'm sad to report).

There was some good disco and a lot of really bad disco, IMNSHO....."Saturday Night Fever" is a lot of fun to play in my basement bijou.

Oh I wish I could agree... alas, I cannot, Barfle. I could not stand any disco and the BeeGees, yuk, particularly this album.

And Selma? you and Barfle made me howl with laughter. I made hats from the albums that met their end in my oven.

That would be considered a mom and pop store.
Duck!

My chip bowl started as an accident. A perfectly good album, sitting out in the sunshine.

Wanna come over and see it? I still have it!

I'm gonna make me a chip bowl...... :p
