Happy Days... What Lice Can Do

 
 
You have food 4 the job?  
Newsflash... 
 

 ... you ARE (part of) the job!

Ingo asked me to put something up about how people (here?)  thought about licorice and also Schelllackplatten are made (as joke, we are not totally dumb) of lice-blood.

The German word is Schelllackplatte, you call it Phonograph record - my family had such a thing in the attic and as kid I played with that!

Ingo bought such a player in small - see also here, if you like (and I thought... duuude, no!).

Well, here we go with my ABSOLUTE fav!

Please bear with me: Dec 10th (or later) I´ll clean up. We have a huge project and after daily 10+ working-hour-days I´m too knackered to take care. 
I´m a real person so just take the chaos and enjoy the music - it comes in ENGLISH, too!!! Just wait for it... and don´t you love the sound of the .. "hardware"...
 
 
(I did the swinging really on purpose btw... "Wochenend und Sonnenschein" (weekend and sunshine)  - "happy days are here again"!) 
And the cans are Steam-Punk-cans I cannot throw away, but must turn with the face to the camera! As said... I´ll ask for a holiday today!
Last one was November. 2021. 
The player (and the Schelllackplatten) are spread all over the billiard-table. We must find a better solution!

 
Do lice-faces count as faces for FFO? If so I join Nicole.
And did this wonderful song make you smile? 
That the case I join Annie with Smiles...

No sun to be expected, but... HAPPY WEEKEND!
 

Any plans on your side?
 
ICKY Addendum! After I saw some didn´t understand it´s not vinyl but Schelllack I wiki-ed.
It´s made from lice-POO!!!! See here!

It did make me smile and Ingo's big smile made me smile too. We have such record players available here and I think I will buy one even though I have little space to spare and I will get my records from the shed storage box and play them.
You could stand your records on those green shelves, just slide them in here and there like books on a bookshelf.

Good that you have one that still works. Lively music.

Iris Flavia said...

River, yes, I thought it was a dumb idea, but as mostly... Ingo had a good idea!
Oh, I really need toremodel...
You cannot see, but in two shelves are Ingo´s toys (The Simpsons chess game and Back to the Future-stuff) so no place for the records.
I will hopefulölly have a holiday soon and redo that shelf - and all!!

Great you have a storage box!

Christine, thank you, say the lice :-)
Blogger has hiccups again, huh?

Nancy, there are more - party with 80+-year old neighbor planned!

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

My friend Sallu has one of those record players and records, too. No lice here, please (grin).

Iris Flavia said...

I think the records were made without lice-blood, LOL... I hope!

mamapez5 said...

Your video was fun. The old records are really back in fashion now. Two of my sons have a huge collection of them and now have modern turntables to play them on, but they have our old collection of LPs too.
I ealt with plenty of lice when I was a nursery schol manager, but I am very glad those days are gone. Kate x

Iris Flavia said...

Ewww, lice for real?! Nonono... please no!
Well these are not vinyls but real Schelllackplatten.
You made me do "researched" - not blood... poo. Lice-poo!!!
Gross! LOL x

Tom said...

...no lice please!

Iris Flavia said...

But music!

CJ Kennedy said...

Can you imagine how many lice had to poop to make enough material to make the Schelllackplatten? 🤣Enjoy your weekend

magiceye said...

Schelllack is so cool! Was not aware of it.

Gene Black said...

I think the "lice faces" definitely count.
I have a number of Schelllackplatten that are many years old. I also have a player that is not quite as old as most of them.

My name is Erika. said...

That's a fun drawing and a fun record player too. I love how the song you used is Happy Days Are Here Again. In vintage style. Here records have made a big come back. Why did I get rid of my stereo equipment when I did? And all my vintage records. Oh well. Happy Friday Iris. hugs-Erika

William Kendall said...

Records have returned here too.

The Happy Whisk said...

The music is fun! LOVE the shelf you have. That's one of the shapes I have marked to make. So useful. Not sure if it will fit in the space so I have a back up plan too! Happy FriYay!

DVArtist said...

Ingo seems like such a fun and happy guy. I had a record player very similer to that when I was a kid. Ohhh please no lice. LOL Thank you for joining FFO.

gigi-hawaii said...

I donated my records in 1991 when we moved to our house. We even donated our tape cassets. We just play CDs now.

RedPat said...

I sold all my old records and all the very old ones that my parents have. It was sad to see them go.
You have lots of stuff around like I do, Iris.

Bill said...

Cool record player and song. Unfortunately I gave all my records away in the 90s.

Iris Flavia said...

CJ, poopy-times! LOL, what don´t we do for music?

____

magicece, yes, and they do break so quicly!

____

Gene, yes, most are from the 20´s... as in 1920!s

____

Erika, yes, I sadly think my vinyls are gone, too. I did leave them in my parent´s house. Asked Bro twice now, bet he forgot again...
Oh, well, c'est la vie! Hugs

____

William, yes, vinyls also. But these really are Schelllackplatten.

____

Happy Whisk, I built this shelf in 1994!!! It´s an oldie by now, but still good, maybe have to repaint it again. It´s on rolls for easier moving and divided for easier transport.
What is you backup-plan?

____

Nicole, Ingo can be fun indeed :-)
And no, no lice! They came back though, with the refugees who on their way had no chance to live they way they dhould. So you find that anti-lice shampoo in the shops now!

_____

gigi, yes, I put all my CDs into my PC, muxh more space now :-)

____

RedPat, sad you sold it all, but then... how long will Ingo play with it.
Oh, I have too much stuff! Come holiday I will rethink that "concept"! ;-)

____

Bill, I left mine at my parent´s house and reckon Bro threw them away...

Annie said...

Sorry I'm so late visiting this week. I had another busy day with sewing yesterday then was on Grandparent duty afterwards.
Brilliant....I'm still smiling
Hugs,
Annie x

So lice are lac bugs? I am a bit confused, but am getting a kick out of your post. Love the music ... how do you sit still when it is playing? I can tell you had fun with this:)
