Sugar, Sugar
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
This month Saturday 9 will be tasty, featuring songs with food in the title.
1) This week's song is credited to The Archies, a band that never actually existed. The song is performed by singer Ron Dante and studio musicians and backup singers hired on behalf of the five members of the popular Saturday morning Archie Show. Were you a fan of this animated series? oh, man--my sisters and I were nuts for the comic books and the series!
2) Archie was Archibald Andrews, a character first introduced in the 1941 comic strip. Archie was the linchpin, the leader of the band, and the center of his social group. Tell us about one of the popular kids from your school days. I didn't really pay attention to people outside my social circle of theater kids -so I suppose we were the popular kids!
3) The Archies' drummer was Jughead Jones. He was smart, funny, and had a fondness for headwear. Do you often wear hats or caps? no, I do not often wear hats or caps
4) Reggie was the lead singer and bass player. He was a gifted athlete who liked to come in first. If he couldn't win with his natural talents, he was not above cheating. Have you ever cheated in a friendly game? oh, heck yeah--always in an obvious manner, though
5) Blonde Betty Cooper was on the tambourine. Her hobbies include playing baseball, caring for her cat, and helping Archie work on his car. Tell us three of your favorite pastimes. I am a voracious reader, a knitter, and shopper
6) Raven-haired Veronica Lodge was the keyboardist and joined Betty for backup vocals. She was a fashion plate, known and loved by Riverdale store owners because of her willingness to spend big bucks to stay on trend. What's the latest thing you've added to your wardrobe? I added an army green t-shirt with three pines on it, in homage to the Three Pines series by Louise Penny (I also got a blue shirt as a Christmas present for a friend)
7) The biggest news story of 1969 was one of the biggest stories in history. On July 21, man first stepped onto the moon. Without looking it up, do you remember the astronaut's name? Neil Armstrong
8) Also in 1969, Triple H was born and today he's in the WWE Hall of Fame. Do you follow professional wrestling? no and I didn't know what Triple H was
9) Random question – Would you prefer to be: a) super successful in business or b) a politician elected to an influential office or c) a champion athlete? super successful in business
BONUS #10: Mister Linky has become extremely hard to navigate and no one is home at the Help Desk. How do you feel about leaving your link in the comments? I have no strong feelings

I don’t know much about wrestling either
I didn't know who (or what) Triple H was, either. There are whole worlds out there that I'm not a part of! PS The company I mentioned – Ridwell – lets you recycle from anywhere in the country by mail. They send you bags with prepaid postage, you fill them, you carry them to your local post office. I wouldn't go so far as to call it FUN, but it was eye-opening to see how quickly I filled the bag and satisfying to return it.
