Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 20, 2021

I hope Mr. Simon paid a hefty fine for that overdue record! I’ve been waiting 48 years to check out that record!!

Long and Wasted Years

Mr. Simon must’ve been quite a fan of Dylan.

Looking forward to Gent’s comment about Juuso.

Juuso’s growls translate to They keep putting paint on my paws. I try to wipe it off, but then they go and put more paint on them!

Still, not up to Hunter’s “skill”…

Chances are that the librarian who took in the record had never seen an L P.

He’s got me beat, I have a copy of “have Spacesuit will Travel” that I took out in 9th grade and was due on June 6th 1980 at my hometown library.

Howard’s fine would build a nice new wing on the library, if it was still in operation.

Corn holders have changed a little since then, but still perform their function in the same way. Corn has been through a lot of ‘doctoring’, ‘tweaking’, and ‘revision’, not all of it good. Looks the same but not the same.

Jusso paintings are ‘natural’ and the color schemes are eye catching. But after seeing the video, I don’t know just how ‘original’ they are, in the sense that humans seem to be very involved in the production. Is the bear actually choosing the colors it supposedly prefers? No human intervention like shuffling the boards, etc? Still, the money goes for a good cause so that works.

We called our leaky bathroom face bowl hell sinky.

Take care, may renowned mustache wax reviewer Asa “Penny Farthing” Finklestien be with you, and gesundheit.

If that’s Dylan’s “Self Portrait” album, I think the library didn’t want it back. That is considered one of his worst and was done just to get out of his contract.

Unlike San Francisco, Ohio takes its laws seriously; Howard is scheduled for execution 13 days from today.

Maybe the bear and Hunter can have a two man show for a competition of sorts. I’ll take the bear.

Helsinki sounds like its beneath Hell. Just go down Dante’s seven levels and you are there. Actually it’s a nice city. Good chocolates

Corn cob holders, eh? It doesn’t get any more societally impactful than THAT…

The corn cob stoppers remind me of my old Avon bottles from the 1970s.

He may be older but that album will remain Forever Young

I once attempted to return an overdue book that got misplaced during a move then stored away. The library told me they’d already replaced it and didn’t want it back.

Art is whatever you can get a way with. $500,000 for a statue of dog poop in San Jose, CA and $600,000 for a stack of metal balls in Edmonton, AB.

Are there any grooves left on the record?

Is he related to the chimp that paints blue bananas?

I’ve told meself many times that I should stop drinkin that Irish Whiskey but I’m not gonna listen to an old drunk Irish man that talks to hisself ! ;o}

Juuso was specially mentored by Jackson Pollack…

I don’t know if could be brave enough to be in the same room with a Bear. Let alone a 930 lb Bear.

Those Finlanders are lapping up those painting by Bruno the Magnificent!

I wonder how much Howard’s fine would be, for not returning the record on time?
