The desire for knowledge, like the thirst for riches,
​increases ever with the acquisition of it.

Reader's Digest Pleasure Programmer

3/2/2017

 
This is the most horrible wheel we have. I can't imagine why John bought it. It's unbearably ugly and cheesy and isn't really worth keeping. I hate it.

This is 12 inches across and must have been included in one of the Reader's Digest record albums, a set of "30 happily varied programs, skillfully arranged to keep your home filled with melody and golden memories!" Please, no.

Just imagine having to choose from one of the categories. How about "Golden Memories"? Or maybe "Gloom Chasers". I wonder how many barbershop quartets are on this thing? Imagine the torture.

And that's not all! Check out the "we laughed at" and "everybody [everybody!] sang and danced to" categories. Tip-Toe Thru the Tulips! Down by the Old Mill Stream! And who can forget In My Merry Oldsmobile? In the early 1930s, "we" bought backgammon and Fletcher's Castoria. What times to be alive!
