Subject: None For Me Thanks I`m St From: mskala@IslandNet.com (Matthew Skala) Organization: Island Net in Victoria, B.C. Canada Date: 8 Jul 1995 01:16:09 -0700 References: <DB83yp.3r3@murdoch.acc.Virginia.EDU> MM> My favorite section had to do with eating records, because it seemed Remember how Mama used to cook those 78s, basting them with a camel's hair brush (stuffed with pimento) so as not to disturb the groove? And the way the cellophane would crackle when you slipped them out of the shells? After school Bobby and me would walk into town and stand with our noses pressed against the big plate-glass windows of the record store. Some days the guy would come out with a stale one that nobody would buy, and he'd give it to us to cook on a little fire in the vacant lot. I can still remember how I liked to bite through the crackly cardboard into the gooey, melted inside. Over on alt.folklore.computers there were some guys posting recipes for doing CDs in the microwave, but give me a good old-fashioned vinyl record any day. They'll never digitize that flavour.
