A Golden Oldie From Double Dee's Dusty Dungeon!

   Back in my DJ days I played "oldies" from
"Double Dee's Dusty Dungeon of Marvelous
Melodies!"
   I don't usually repeat
my Blogs. But
the one written for this date, August 30th.,
deserves to be seen again by regular readers
and read for the first time by new "fans."
  And the "Dusty Dungeon" is a perfect
place for..........
  "It's Alive....It's Alive!!!!!"

  Given the title above....who can guess what
'Special Day' this is?
      All us 'old timers' know!
      August 30th is "Frankenstein Day!"
      What!?  Some of you didn't know!?
      The day was named in horror.....make that
honor....of Mary Wollenstone Shelley who was
born on August 30th., 1797!
      Mary wrote the story of "Frankenstein"
in 1818.
      If you do the math that would make her
21 years old! She actually started writing
the story when she was 18!
      I wonder if she ever talked about it on
a date? I wonder if she ever had a date? I
wonder if she liked really tall strong guys
who didn't talk very much?
      "Frankenstein" is the story about a
scientist who tries to create life and ends up
producing a monster who can live forever.
  Given the number of movies her monster
has spawned over the years I'd say her
monster is still 'alive and well!'
     By the way it was the scientist who
was named Frankenstein. The monster
never did have a name other than....
"The Frankenstein Monster."
    You'd think she could have named the
guy!
     I have to admit I have no idea how we're
suppose to 'celebrate' or 'observe'
Frankenstein Day. Maybe you can come up
with some ideas.
    For those who feel it's just too late
to celebrate....take heart...but
not literally as Doctor Frankenstein did!
    There's still "Frankenstein Friday!
    That's the last Friday in October.
    Apparently somebody connected with
Frankenberry Cereal came up with that
one.
    There's also "National Frankenstein Day"
which is listed as being observed on
October 29th.
     Think about it!  Washington and Lincoln
have to share 'President's Day' while Mary's
Monster gets three days all his own!
      Well, however you celebrate, I hope
you have a Happy Frankenstein Day, that
you're full of energy, and that all your
NEWS is good!
