Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Paul and I are still sick, it's raining fit to kill outside, and this seems like a perfect day for a lollipop.....
BONUS #1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r4bbgv1If8 - On the Good Ship Lollipop - Shirley Temple - From the movie Bright Eyes (1934)
BONUS #2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HukX68UUoA - On the Good Ship Lollipop - Shirley Temple (with lyrics and a more complete introduction)
==========================================
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Good_Ship_Lollipop:
| "On the Good Ship Lollipop" was the trademark song of child actress Shirley Temple. Temple first sang it in the 1934 movie Bright Eyes. The "ship" in the song is an aircraft; the scene in Bright Eyes where the song appears takes place on an American Airlines Douglas DC-2 which is taxiing. It was especially popular because Shirley herself had choreographed it. In the song, the "Good Ship Lollipop" travels to a candy land. There is a direct reference to an aeroplane in the song: "Someday I'm going to fly/I'll be a pilot, too...". The song was composed by Richard A. Whiting and the lyric was supplied by Sidney Clare. 500,000 copies of the sheet music, published by Sam Fox Publishing Company were sold, and a recording by Mae Questel (the cartoon voice of Betty Boop and Olive Oyl) reputedly sold more than 2 million copies...[citation needed] |
I personally tend to forget this little detail concerning this song
. Contrary to popular belief, the ship in the song is an aircraft. I'm so embarrassed!!!

TODAY IN WWII:
| May 19, 1926 - Benito Mussolini announced that democracy was
deceased. Rome became a fascist state. May 19, 1937 - Adolf Hitler asked the Vatican to rebuke Chicago Cardinal Mundelein for his criticism of the Nazis. May 19, 1942 - In the aftermath of the Battle of the Coral Sea, Task Force 16 headed to Pearl Harbor. May 19, 1943 -

TODAY IN 1963:
| Sunday, May 19, 1963 - The New York Post Sunday Magazine
published Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s
Letter from a Birmingham Jail, drafted shortly after his arrest on
April 12th during the
Birmingham Campaign advocating for civil rights and an end to
segregation in
Birmingham,
Alabama.
The letter was in response to "A
Call for Unity": a statement made by eight white Alabama clergymen
against King and his methods, following his arrest, and became one of
the most-anthologized statements of the
civil rights movement. Sunday, May 19, 1963 - Footballer Filippo Galli was born in Monza, Italy. Sunday, May 19, 1963 - Artist Walter Russell (b. 19 May 1871 in Boston, Massachusetts) died on his 92nd birthday. |

From Domi O'Brien ('64) of NH - 05/18/13,
10:43 PM - "RE: 
Best Spider Repellent":
| I don't know if spiders
hate peppermint oil, or whether they have a sense of smell, but I
would imagine that spiders, like a lot of creatures, likely both
have the sense to come in from the rain, and the sense to run from
some much larger creature. So I suspect that it all of a sudden
someone is running toward them, and it's suddenly
raining/misting/spraying something on them, they may decide there
must be a better place to be.
I know I would!
I read this a different way - as something to apply to a nice clean door frame to prevent the spiders from deciding to build there in the first place! I always seem to walk into their webs, and I'd rather not. I especially don't want to walk through pesticides either, but I still don't know where to find the mysterious essential oils, so..... |

From My
Daughter, Adrienne Harty
(Hillsboro HS,
IL / American School, IL) of NC
(temporarily of MA) - 05/18/13 - "Thick
and Chewy M&M Cookie Bars":
 |
Thick and Chewy M&M Cookie Bars 2 1/8 cups flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking soda 12 Tbsp. butter (1 1/2 sticks), melted and cooled slightly 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar 1 large egg 1 large egg yolk 2 tsp. vanilla extract 1 12-oz. bag M&M's, divided |
|
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Adjust the oven rack to lower-middle position. Line a 9X13-inch baking pan with foil, letting the excess hang over the edges of the pan by about 1 inch so you can grab those edges and pull the bars from the pan after they have baked. Spray the foil-lined pan with nonstick cooking spray. 2. Mix the flour, salt, and baking soda together in medium bowl; set aside. Whisk the melted butter and sugars in a large bowl until combined. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix well. Using a rubber spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined; do not overmix. Fold in 1 cup of M&M's and turn the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with the spatula. Sprinkle remaining M&M's on top and press in slightly. 3. Bake until the top of the bars is light golden brown, slightly firm to the touch, and edges start pulling away from sides of pan, 24-28 minutes. Cool on a wire rack to room temperature. Remove the bars from the pan by lifting the foil overhang and transfer them to a cutting board. Cut into squares and serve.
OOOH,
YUMMY! Thanks, Webby!

From
www.ajokeaday.com - 05/18/13:
| A
lawyer was cross-examining the doctor about whether or not
he had checked the pulse of the deceased before he signed
the death certificate.
"No," the doctor said. "I did not check his pulse." "And did you listen for a heartbeat?" asked the lawyer. "No I did not," the doctor said. "So," said the lawyer, "when you signed the death certificate, you had not taken steps to make sure he was dead." The doctor said, "Well, let me put it this way. The man's brain was in a jar on my desk but, for all I know, he could be out practicing law somewhere." |

I've thrown away
my toys
Even my drum and train.
I wanna make some noise
With real live aeroplanes.
Some day I'm going to fly.
I'll be a pilot too.
And when I do, how would you
Like to be my crew...
On the good ship lollipop.
Its a sweet trip to a candy shop
Where bon-bons play
On the sunny beach of Peppermint Bay.
Lemonade stands everywhere.
Crackerjack bands fill the air.
And there you are
Happy landing on a chocolate bar.
See the sugar bowl do the tootsie roll
With the big bad devils food cake.
If you eat too much ooh ooh
You'll awake with a tummy ache.
On the good ship lollipop
Its a night trip into bed you hop
And dream away
On the good ship lollipop.
