In fact, Curt Collins manages an entertaining and informative Facebook group dedicated to just that, and I recommend it to any of you who ever wondered how it could have occurred to someone that you could microwave popcorn and it would taste just as good as Jiffy Pop. Surely that knowledge must have arisen far outside our solar system, mustn't it have?
It's a compelling theory, I admit, and it entered my field of awareness yesterday in a big, big way. I'll try to keep the chain of events simple:
- I was listening to my most beloved Christmas CD ever: "Dr. Demento Presents the Greatest Christmas Novelty CD of All Time"
- I was playing certain cuts from the CD to help my wife get into the Christmas spirit
- I played her favorite cut, "Nuttin' For Christmas," by Stan Freberg, and of course she busted a gut laughing
- I was inspired to look up more classic comedy cuts by the late, great Freberg, in order to convince my wife that he was one of the most brilliant comic geniuses of all time
- In the midst of my search, I came across shocking, undeniable photographic evidence that sometime in the 1960s Stan Freberg was involved in a clear-cut case of introducing reverse-engineered alien technology to unsuspecting American consumers
