Also the song reminds me of Sambo's restaurant

I remember being taken to Sambo's restaurant by my grandparents as a very small child.
  2:07pm
Martinibomb:

@Rich there was that Lil Sambos in Lincoln city up until about 10 years ago
  2:08pm
Martinibomb:

It's still there pretty much the same thing.. they rebranded to something else tho
Avatar 2:08pm
Mr Fab:

Li'L Sambo, and the restaurant chain that it inspired was actually an Indian character. Can't speak for that song tho
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:08pm
Rich in Washington:

The one my grandparents took me to was still called Lil Black Sambo's for many years. It was in Lincoln City Oregon and I think they defiantly held onto the name as long as they could.

Rich in Washington:

Yes. I think we went there on our long trip from my house to theirs. I don't remember much about it other than they gave little prizes to kids who ate there, their coloring placemats, etc.
But you are right - the character was a sort of Indian/South Asian stereotype. Still rather offensive and demeaning, though. I am sure many white folks thought of South Asians and Africans as one and the same as far as they were concerned, hence the chain's offensive name.

Eli, I thought you must have meant "Tex Ritter," but no, you're right, it was a Tex Williams. I thought that was a baseball player? I'm so confused...

I'm still consistently surprised to see the rat pack at the grocery market almost every time. Because People magazine keeps putting out *rat pack* specials. I can't imagine anyone under 50 is buying those!?

Sambo's Restaurants met the same fate as the diet candy Ayds. Gotta love their ads: "Lose weight with Ayds!"

Martinibomb - a couple of years ago I spotted this ridiculous posting on Craigslist where someone in Portland was selling these weird life-sized statues of Frank, Dino, and I think Peter Lawford or something. Like this instant Rat Pack. I don't know if he ever sold it. They were ludicrous. I think he'd keep posting and reposting for many months.

@Fab I think I'm going to illustrate the jungle room it's going on my to do list.. remember in marvel comics how Wally Wood would do like Daredevil and how all his gadgets worked laid out like a blue print.. that's what I'm going for hahah

There was a rapping doctor in the last decade or so, known as the Physician Musician.

Yeah, we need a real-life Jungle Room somewhere. Rich can decorate it with giant Rat Pack statues and thrift-store finds. And Otis can donate some of his black-velvet paintings he posts pics of on his playlist.

Martinibomb:

#foodtalk - okay for lunch today I'm attempting the impossible grilled cheese. First I lay down a thin coat of oil in a cast iron then a layer of cheese. Then place the bread on top of the cheese and put more cheese on top of that slice. Then place another slice of bread on top of that...wait until the whole thing is cooked then pickup the bottom cheesy/bread thing with a spatula. Quickly put down the final layer of cheese in the pan.. then flip the sandwich over and finish cooking until cheese on bottom of pan is all crusty delicious. I'm insane I know.
Avatar 2:44pm
worldsworstrecords:

Why do the Americans call that 'grilled cheese' when it's not been under a grill?
  2:45pm
Martinibomb:

in my case my cast iron is actually on a grill? does that count? other wise .. my answer is that americans are retarded hahah
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:46pm
Rich in Washington:

Oh yeah. I've done cheesy bread type grilled cheese sandwiches like that. I love 'em, especially if it's cheddar and you get it almost to the point of burning. It's like a Cheezit.
Avatar 2:46pm
worldsworstrecords:

What we call a grill I believe you call a broiler?

Jan Turkenburg:

@MB, that's the kind of thing I do late in the evening when I suddenly get hungry.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:46pm
Rich in Washington:

There's this balancing point of not unsticking it from the pan too early and not too late.
  2:47pm
Martinibomb:

@Rich/Jan oh man I love that burned cheese flavor it's the best thing ever
  2:48pm
Martinibomb:

I'm gonna spread on some guacamole I made too.. just sounds good
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:48pm
Rich in Washington:

That is a good point, Darryl. I think the stovetop grill like I've seen commonly in the UK is a real rarity here, if we're talking about the same thing. The closest we have on our common range/ovens is the 'broiler' setup inside the oven. We don't have those top-mounted grill things here, really.
