Meeting planners routinely define a creative event as novel decor/venues/food & beverage. We are biased against truly creative event design.

🎮 Oh, Duke! 🍌 Apparently, a teensy yellow toy is now the zenith of #academic #game #design prowess. Because, of course, nothing screams "innovation" like cranking out games on a #novelty #handheld. 🙄

Interesting #novelty #coin of the day: This piece has a #Plague doctor on one side - this was a volunteer or an actual doctor, though the duty was often more to record accurate numbers of deaths than curing people (though some charged promising cures). Although often a #caricature, beaked masks like this have been dated to the 1700s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plague_doctor Wearing a modern medical coat & stethoscope (invented in 1816).

The other side has a #clock at 8:55 (Does anyone know a potential reason for that?) with the dates 1347-1351 in the centre - that was the rough years of the #Black #Death in Europe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Death

I can't read the text above the centre?

The piece itself is an Equilateral curve heptagon (7-sided), about 25mm diameter, similar to a 1991-1994 Jamaica 25 cents: https://en.numista.com/6476 & about 3mm thick.

I'll tag #Histodons since the theme is historical, though the piece isn't.

BOBBY “BORIS” PICKETT AND THE CRYPT-KICKERS
Monster Mash
1962 U.S. 7” single [styrene]

Halloween in April for last spin of the night. 🪦 🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦
🦇 🦇 🦇 💀 ☠️ 👹

I forgot I bought a handful of 7” singles last week and I’m just getting to them now.

I saw this and got absolutely giddy.

Who doesn’t like a little Monster Mash?

A great song from my youth that I have very fond memories of, and I still adore to this day.
Added bonus that it has the picture sleeve and both it AND the record are in great shape!

With the great Leon Russell on piano!

A quotation from Mark Twain

You see, happiness ain’t a thing in itself — it’s only a contrast with something that ain’t pleasant. That’s all it is. There ain’t a thing you can mention that is happiness in its own self — it’s only so by contrast with the other thing. And so, as soon as the novelty is over and the force of the contrast dulled, it ain’t happiness any longer, and you have to get something fresh.

Mark Twain (1835-1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
Story (1868?), “Extract from Captain Stormfield’s Visit to Heaven,” Part 1, Harper’s Monthly Magazine, Vol. 116, No. 691 (1907-12)

"Splish Splash" is a 1958 #novelty #rockSong performed and co-written by #BobbyDarin. It was written with DJ #MurrayTheK (Murray Kaufman), who bet that Darin could not write a song that began with the words, "Splish splash, I was takin' a bath", as suggested by Murray's mother, Jean Kaufman. The song was credited to Darin and "Jean Murray" (a combination of their names) to avoid any hint of #payola. It was Darin's first hit.

A quotation from Samuel Johnson

But when thoughts and words are collected and adjusted, and the whole composition at last concluded, it seldom gratifies the author, when he comes coolly and deliberately to review it, with the hopes which had been excited in the fury of the performance: novelty always captivates the mind; as our thoughts rise fresh upon us, we readily believe them just and original, which, when the pleasure of production is over, we find to be mean and common, or borrowed from the works of others, and supplied by memory rather than invention.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1754-03-02), The Adventurer, No. 138

"Rubber Biscuit" is a #novelty #doowop song performed by the vocals-only team #theChips, who recorded it in 1956. It was covered by #theBluesBrothers on their 1978 debut album, #BriefcaseFullOfBlues, among many other artists, as well as being featured in the 1973 film #MeanStreets.

A quotation from Samuel Johnson

That familiarity produces neglect, has been long observed. The effect of all external objects, however great or splendid, ceases with their novelty; the courtier stands without emotion in the royal presence; the rustick tramples under his foot the beauties of the spring with little attention to their colours or their fragrance; and the inhabitant of the coast darts his eye upon the immense diffusion of waters, without awe, wonder, or terrour.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1753-06-26), The Adventurer, No. 67
