Garth Merenghi -- author, dream-weaver, visionary, plus actor -- reads from his newest tome of terror, Incarcerat
He's on a book tour but apparently will not come to the US. Boo. I don't mean like a ghost, I mean Booooo. Booooo.

The Story of "Christmas Wrapping." The song he incorrectly thought was suddenly a hit was "I Know What Boys Like." Despite that being kind of iconic, it never went anywhere sales-wise. It was the "toss-off" nothing of a song "Christmas Wrapping" that became their big (surprise) hit.

Forgotten 80s Mystery Click: One-Hit Wonders Edition
Kissing like a bandit, stealing time Underneath a sycamore tree/Cupid by the hour sends valentines/To my sweet lover and me.
I was never sure if this song was okay, or just a goofy piece of crap.

Hat Quest Update: While Amazon auto-completes the search "fedora with safari flaps" (try it!), no haberdasher is smart enough to actually make a fedora with safari flaps, despite the obvious interest in such stylish, attention-getting headwear.
Let's hope some enterprising, uh, enterprise meets the market's demand.

Father wears his Sunday best/Mother's tired, she needs a rest, the kids are playing up downstairs/Sister's sighing in her sleep/Brother's got a date to keep, he can't hang around

You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin': Darryl Hall seeks restraining order against John Oates in acrimonious legal fight
I think the restraining order is business-oriented, not like John Oates is stalking him or something.

They're selling lion chops at Safeway! [CBD]

Text message scams warning of "suspicious activity on your account" or delivery delays on the rise
A good rule of thumb is to contact banks, Amazon, etc. directly, looking up their contact information yourself, rather than following the link or phone number in a text.

I'll be taking Thanksgiving and Friday off. I've got a lot of open threads to post, so at least there'll be some pretty pictures and videos. And if there's something big that happens, I might throw up a quick link-and-quote. But otherwise, I'll just be posting open threads and mini-Cafes. -- Ace
