Recently discovered The Moth’s ultra amazing podcast. In this 8 minute episode, Kevin Wilson tells a fantastic story about White Shoulders perfume, a young man’s love, lessons learned, and he even manages to rhyme “orange juice” with “syringe use”.

Brilliant.

“Rippity-Pippity-Ay” and “Derry Down Ding-Dong” STILL cracks me up. In fact, often just thinking of William Frawley (Mertz) is enough to give me a case of the giggles.

I’m a huge fan of the swell comedic explorations of 50’s pedagogy which I imagine was a lousy time to be in a classroom.

I can’t recall but I think that Mr. Livermore (Hans Conried) appeared in a few more episodes, always as the snooty über intellectual.

“There were ghosts in the eyes
Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch they’re gone
On the wind, so Mary climb in
It’s a town full of losers
And I’m pulling out of here to win”

“The Send button gets pushed only three times, yet seven copies of the same message appear in differing states for three people—each copy a dead version of another. Email propagates copies of copies, storing each in a rudimentary filing system of “boxes.” Email was designed as a system of notification, not collaboration.”
