Todays rabbit hole is seeing who covered the Trashman's classic song Surfing Bird, that you may know as Birds the Word. I knew the Cramps and the Ramones covered it, but I found this cover by a Russian artist, filmmaker who made a video for his cover. He past away a few years ago, but I thought this strange cover from the oth...

I'd like to keep up this pace but since I tend to release videos on a Thursday I'm thinking about moving the release date for the podcast after next week's to anot...

Another on-the road podcast with Greg on the way back from Atlanta. Just rambling about the trip and what is going on with candy plans for the near future.

The new video drops tomorrow, and it's a video about drops.
As soon as it is finished rendering on YouTube, you can watch this early.
This story is about making Raspberry Drops, and the origin of the term "Blowing Raspberries" that actually has a connection to Raspberries.
I like to hide an inside joke ...
The BBC had an article about how an apostrophe caused a holiday to be firmed in Gahana.
So I went down a typo rabbit hole
The power of an apostrophe

I felt it needed to be narrated.

The location where the Lofty Pursuits Marching Band has practiced for years, and the location where it played for the first time is being torn down. We decided to give it a sending off performance of Taps.

it's a comic where the children versions the Justice league of America all go to elementary school together. It is surprisingly well done. They even make the b...
So I attached it longer and lost the taper on the spirle. Added a lot more food coloring. Just a different brand that is darker. I also put in white buts, but they absorbed the adjacent colors.
2019-08-10 23:55:08 +0000 UTC View PostToday I'm trying to figure out where the flags of agincourt ended up. Before WWII the 523 year old flags were taken down for their protection during the war. They were thread bare at the time and were hanging on Westminster Abby.
I have a pre WWII photo In a book that shows hanging. They are no longer in Westminster A...

I took a few days off and I drove to Atlanta. I decided to try and record a podcast with a pocket recorder and a clip on microphone to see how it went. This time I talked about my trip, and some candy things and what I hope to do in Atlanta.

When the video finished rendering at YouTube the link will work. It's 11:36 and I need to get up in 6 1/2 hours. I'm going to sleep. See you guys tomorrow. I may do a premier at about 11 on Thursday. I also may just turn it on then. Good night all.

The candy just went up for sale on our site. Here is the link before anyone else gets to see it.
Well tomorrows candy will be tie-died colored based on a request on a video from Hercules Candy in Syracuse NY (if you don't watch those, you need to start). I'm trying to make it look like Terry's shirt.
I made the candy yesterday, and they came out fairly good. I will get better with practice I suspect. The flavor is ...

This was the plot of every Scooby-Doo episode I ever saw. The thing that led me down this rabbit hole to find that it's more common than you think was the CNN article.

Apparently in a video from a few days ago Terri from Hercules candies suggested I might be able to make tie-dyed hard candy. Was a challenge posed by one of their viewers. So the past couple of days have been trying to figure out how to do it. Darius told me what colors of tie-dye she likes and she's told me her favorite flav...

I love it when reality goes to the unexpected.
It is because of Foxes. The early explorers who were trappers of furs had their noses closer to the Fox t...
