When was the first paperback book was printed?

[Scott]

When was the first paperback book was printed?

that depends on what you call the first paperback book?

In the 1800's you had the penny dreadfuls and then the dime novels later in the century





In the early 1900's you have the pulp books


and the modern paperbacks become popular in the 1930's

Penguin Publishing likes to brag that they printed the first one in 1935

[Babs]

   Do you or have you ever had a tubist playing in a group you are/were in?

[Scott]

Scott,

John 

We have a great tuba player this season, we miss the one who left last year, but he joins on occasion and we will have two.

[Newsman]

   That sounds cool! I played through high school, and a bit in college..I'd like to buy one and get back somewhat in practice..but they tend to be pretty expensive for a non-essential item. At one point in my life, I planned to play professionally.

[Sis]

I forgot you said you played tuba, John. You said something long time ago.

Stevebert used to play at the university as an alumnus. They don't mind community people filling in. They never have enough students for their bands or orchestras.

Scott,

What would you think of someone who played Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy with a cello? Or Little Drummer Boy with a trombone?

[Scott]

Scott,

What would you think of someone who played Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy with a cello? Or Little Drummer Boy with a trombone?

The cello would be fun to see, YO  YO Ma might be able to do it, the Drummer can be played on the Trombone if the part is put in Bass Clef and the Key of B flat would be the easiest.

[Babs]

if you could have refereed one sports match in history, which would it have been?

[Scott]

if you could have refereed one sports match in history, which would it have been?

Using the phrase that you did, it almost limits this to boxing, but I will respond as sporting event.



It would have to be any game in which the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings or Boston Red Sox Lost - because I would enjoy it so much.

[Babs]

yeah thats what i meant to say lol

what makes fingerprints happen? why are they so unique?

[MelodyB]

Have you ever taken a peek at someone else's diary?


If you could have the brain of someone from history or alive today and remain in your own body, whose brain would you chose?


What is the worst food combination you can think of?

[Sis]

What is the worst purchase you've ever made?

[Scott]

what makes fingerprints happen? why are they so unique?

Finger prints are unique because each person has their own finger print and no two people have the same.   Not even Identical twins.

Fingerprints occur when you touch a surface that will retain them and the bodily secretions such as oils leave them. The print themselves are from the friction ridges in your hands.

What is the worst purchase you've ever made?

I can think of a car or two that  I've owned.

Have you ever taken a peek at someone else's diary?

Yes!  Anne Franks!

If you could have the brain of someone from history or alive today and remain in your own body, whose brain would you chose?

I am quite happy with mine!

What is the worst food combination you can think of?

Chocolate Covered Carp!

Lemon flavored Liver!

Oatmeal with Ketchup!

Corn flakes and salsa!

Fried Jack Russell Terrier, with a side of Persian Cat served in a mustard and and lime sauce. With Raw Carrots, and grape nut flakes

That one took me by surprise. I chikkin-laughed out loud. 

[Sister_Mom]

Scott, have you ever been to Hell? Was it hot there? What did it look like?  :grin:

[MelodyB]

[Scott]

Scott, have you ever been to Hell? Was it hot there? What did it look like?  :grin:

Yes I have twice.  Both times it was a very pleasant experience.





It is a small town in Michigan

Then there was one in the Cayman Islands






There was even a Pentecostal church in Hell!  I don't have that picture sad to say.

[Sister_Mom]

That's funny! Thanks Scott! 

*Wonders if any lakes in Hell Mi have ever froze over* 

[Sis]

Stevebert even liked that one! *Sis ^5 Mom*
