Red buttons on yellow britches
(and I have not held that book in a lifetime)

That detail, I don't recall. I heard "melting tigers > butter" and pretty much immediately lost interest.

I never knew Sellers did these…just hysterical. Definitely one of the greats. A fairly unknown(at the time)Terri Garr is in the second one…

I saw one the other day…

I never much cared for the story, as the notion of tigers that melted down into butter - even to my young mind - just seemed too absurd.

Geez, thanks for giving away the ending. It WAS on my 'must read' list.

If we will talk about the Golden Book series, I will bring up this book that we had at our house, and which my mother read to me in the late 1950's
Little Black Sambo: Invalid Link Removed

My wife still has her copy of that book. Along with most of the Dr. Seuss books that were banned a few years back.

We had a Sambo’s restaurant where I grew up. I would go in and flirt with the late night waitresses on my way to midnight shift at my summer job. That job convinced me to go to college.

I used to have some of these digital clock pens.

Some of the Sambo's in FL were bought up by Denny's. They closed for an hour, put up new signs, and put out new menus-with the same items.

Roadies are panting like "we just hauled all the speakers, PA and guitar cabs, now we finally get a rest hauling the easy stuff like keyboards..."

This particular electric piano: "have fun!"

What is that? I want one, not for any reason other than it's just so over the top. It could sit next to my pump organ.

Me too. They were the cool pen to have when I was in middle school. The first one I got I earned from selling the magazine subscriptions. I can still remember scanning that catalog of prizes and zeroing in on that pen. It was offered in chrome and gold. I chose chrome.
I think it was these that kicked off my obsession with writing instruments. It's cooled off as I've gotten older and when we downsized, but I have a nice drawer full still.

The Sheaffer Targa I bought in 1975 is inked right now. Don't see many of them. (Also write in cursive.)
