scribbles VIDEO | Mr. Sock & Ken Say Goodbye to the Campground

Yes, it wasn't that long ago that we debuted a video all about how much we love N.E.T. Camp Resort in Pelham not far from Vineland. But since Mr. Sock & Ken had a chance to visit just one more time before the end of season, we have just one more clip to check out.
 
This time around we travel by golf cart around the massive campgrounds, with Mr. Sock providing commentary and a few chuckles.
 
Enjoy!

The Ghosts of Halloween's Past

Halloween is one of Scribbles top holidays of the year. Why? Well we love the candy, LOL but we also enjoy seeing how people decorate their homes and all those clever costumes...oh momma! 

We love your costume pix. In fact we love them so much, we're once again sharing a look at some of our favourite costumes from past Halloweens. Not only is it cool to see these costumes again, it also gives us a chance to see how many of our younger Scribbles pals have grown over the years. Now that indeed is a treat!





And we can't forget MY old Halloween costumes...

SCRIBBLES HALLOWEEN FEATURE | "Keep Watching the Sky"

BIRD, ZELDA & THEO "KEEP WATCHING THE SKY" PIX COURTESY 'OFF BEAT CINEMA'
Off Beat Cinema is a weekly 2 hour movie presentation hosted by beatnik buddies Zelda, Bird and Theo. “Off Beat Cinema promises to show “the movies that must be shown” – the good, the bad and the foreign” it says on their official website.

During commercial breaks, the hosts give us facts about the movie and its stars, read viewer mail and sometimes have local musical guest artists. They also air old theatre ads (like the ones that tell you about the refreshments available at the snack bar or tell young lovers to cool it with public display of affection).

Off Beat Cinema premiered in 1993 on WKBW ch. 7 in Buffalo NY. It aired in the wee hours on Fridays and/or Saturdays. In 2012, the show moved to Buffalo’s MeTV affiliate WBBZ ch. 67.

OBC now airs across U.S. on the Retro TV network Saturdays at 10 pm and at midnight on WBBZ.

When it aired on WKBW, viewers in Southern Ontario could watch Off Beat Cinema. But WBBZ is much more difficult to get with an antenna and isn't on any Canadian cable channel lineups. As a result many Canadian viewers were left in the dark when the show relocated.

But never fear! Off Beat Cinema has a You Tube “channel” where they post many of the hosted movies. It’s ideal for those who can’t watch the show on TV or are OBC fanatics who love to watch the movies over and over again.

AND NEW.... If you have a Roku Smart TV, you can download the "It's Real Good TV" channel, which features a live stream of Retro TV. You can watch Off Beat Cinema on Retro TV Sat. at 10 pm.

Here's two Off Beat Cinema movie presentations...

2. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B Vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.

3. Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance.

4. Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them flee the area.

5. Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers along your problem area for a few minutes, the phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works great on wrinkles too!!!

Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients the body lost, keeping everything in equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover and headache!!

8. Have an important meeting or job interview and you realize that you don't have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over the shoe, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine that not only looks great but also repels water.

9. Out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila, the squeak is gone!

10. Stressed out and don't have time for massage, facial or visit to the spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water, the chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber with react with the boiling water and be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been shown the reduce stress in new mothers and college students during final exams.

11. Just finish a business lunch and realize you don't have gum or mints? Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the phytochemcials will kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath.

12. Looking for a 'green' way to clean your faucets, sinks or stainless steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to clean, not only will it remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine, but is won't leave streaks and won't harm you fingers or fingernails while you clean.

13. Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing, also works great on crayons and markers that the kids have used to decorate the walls!!
