Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 07, 2020

One time I played six instruments. Is John saying he couldn’t play the kazoo? Let’s list the instruments I’ve played. Aside from the kazoo, there’s the flutaphone, clarinet, piano, organ, and an electric keyboard where you can choose different sounds.

I’m not sure I can imagine Nichard Rixon as an accordionist (like my father was in his own childhood).

I wonder if the daily “explainer” over on Andy Capp knows about this.

At the height of the original Beanie Baby craze ebay hadn’t even been created yet.

Ty company started selling Beanie Babies in 1993 and by time Christmas came around they were the year’s “must have” fad.

eBay wasn’t established until 1995 and didn’t really become a popular means of selling until around 1997 when higher speed modems and affordable digital cameras came about

I only see four instruments and a torture device listed…

“Fleas the size of rats on rats the size of cats—-” David Bowie.

So the Cave was a prehistoric tourist attraction all kinds of species were dying to see?

Ripup’s conveniently left the type of rodent vague. Giant Mice? Enormous Voles?

Yeah, well I play seven, counting the radio.

Take care and gesundheit.

Nixon also played the American Public…until he was caught.

Nixxon played a different tune on each one! Quel choc!

One of my cousins bought Beanie Babies for her kids and would cut off all the tags before letting them play with them. They are good toys for children of certain ages.

What species is the skeleton?

Nixon could play saxophone? Too bad we can’t have a sax-off between him and Bill Clinton.

Nixon’s favorite hit – Got Them Watergate Blues.

He played the public pretty well also…

too bad nixon’s talents didn’t extend to honesty and fair play…

Barak Obama couldn’t play golf, baseball, and couldn’t ride a bicycle!
