It's time to roll out the barrel. Here's a barrel idea sent in by John Ryan of East Hoffman, Illinois.

Place a hat on your foot and try to flip it onto your head. Can any one of you do it? Good luck. Flip it up onto your head. I'm going to do my other foot then. My good foot. Oh, close. Very close. No, no, don't. Let me try it out here. Hold on. Trippic, trippic. Trippic. Yeah, trippic. And there's a whole bunch of bits. Then we'll go in the head. Oh! Just missed. What? I thought it dropped.

Remember, if all things were one thing, well, here's another one. If all lobsters and leopards were one thing, what a lovely lobster that would be. I wrote my first tune, I think in April, I was just fiddling around, just started playing

something so i wrote it down i've got to really work at it to keep all the notes in my head and remember it before i put it down on paper if i'm out way out in the woods or something and i don't have any paper i just have to keep playing until i get back to the house The hardest part about writing is getting the notes down, basically, and remembering what you've just played. Craig Ivar

Craig Ivar Well let's see what the tune sounds like The tune is as pretty as the name Well we got a good tune You got a good tune Now it remains to be seen Whether or not I can put some chords to it Father McCullen is a friend of mine Because I mean I can go down there And if he's there I'll say Hey I've got a new tune And we'll sit down and work it out Now play it real slow for me I met him about two years ago, singing in the choir.

Are you going to go to Fitzwilliam, guys? There's gonna be a Morris tour before, you know. We get together for dances just about every week. It's more or less like one big family.

Hey, listen, don't forget our Nelson dance. I won't. Hi. Hi, Greg. Hi, Caleb. I love everything about the dances, and it's especially nice for me when we're playing one of my tunes. Thank you. The nicest part about writing a tune is if I don't like the tune, you know, shove it under my books or something and leave it there for about two months and then I'll pull it up and go, hey, this looks like a good tune. Why did I write this? And I play it and I love it.

If all the elephants and birds were one thing, what a lovely ellibird that would be. A while ago, we played a game called Hink Pink.

Would you like to know how to make a piñata? If you would, write Zoom and be sure to include a self-addressed stamped envelope so we can send you a Zoom card. Here's what I read up. If all snakes, tigers, and crocodiles were one thing, What a lovely snake-o-dial that would be. Here's a recipe sent in by Cheryl Jacobs of Newton, Mass. What you need is some ginger ale, some toothpicks, a candy cane stick, four marshmallows, some chocolate, and some ice cream. What you do is you take the marshmallows

and you stick them together with the toothpicks in the shape of a raft. And you put them in your big bowl. then you take some ice cream and you put it on top of the raft then you take your candy cane stick and you stick it on top of the ice cream then you take some chocolate and you put a toothpick in it And you stick it besides the candy cane stick. That's your sail and that's your mast. Then you take some ginger ale and you pour it in so that the raft will float. And it floats.

Now you can eat it. Each week at this time, Zoom invites you to try it at home. We're doing food color art. All you need is some paper towels and some little bottles of food coloring. First, you fold the paper towel up, and then you make designs with the food coloring. and up. Wow! There it is. Now I'm gonna do it. Alright, take a few seconds. Thank you. Ooh. I'm gonna fold it up. What's it? Fold it up. Fold it up, and watch it go. Fold it up. I haven't used that one yet. You can use it. Look at this.

I put the blue and the yellow. It's the thing like when they mix together they make different colors. Yeah, maybe you could do that. Yeah, so it's just not like one. I'm going to get my whole team finished. Not one little empty spot. There we go. Now, I'm going to see what I'm going to come out with. Ooh, wow, look at this. Why don't you make some food color art and send us a Zoom? If all the kangaroos and elephants were one thing, what a lovely kangophant that would be. We have a special Zoom guest this week who may look very familiar, but his voice sounds a little funny. A few weeks ago, Mike went to the hospital to have his tonsils out, and he said it would be all right if our film crew came to visit him. You know, your voice sounds a little funny to me. Is it always that way?

I think it's probably because my nose is stopped up. It's hard to talk like that. I have my tonsils. I'll bet. Your tonsils are large now. They're what we call kissing tonsils. They're so big that they're touching each other and kissing each other. And your adenoids are probably very large, too, and they're behind your nose, and that's what's blocking your nose. Are you going to be taking out the adenoids? Yes, indeed. It's a lot of stuff to take out. A few weeks ago, I learned I had tonsillitis with Dr. Levine. I came in this morning, and I asked him, when am I going to have my tonsils out, because I was kind of nervous about it. And he said that I was going to have them out today, and that really shook me up. Michael, do you have any questions for me? Well, am I going to have shots? Because someone told me that there weren't going to be any shots. He was the anesthetic expert. Oh, no, you have to have two injections. You have to have two medicines that will make you sleepy

so that when the operation comes, it won't hurt you at all. Do you know what it says that he knows it's going to be? A little bit shorter than that. It's about an inch long. They're very small, but they're very tiny at the end. When Dr. Jeffy told me that I had to have my tonsils out, I started crying. Believe it or not, us big kids aren't supposed to be crying, as everyone says, but I just started crying because I'd never had this kind of thing before. I'm scared of all those doctors who have those things in their mouths staring down at me with the big clamps and the spotlights and the dressers and the machines all over the place. Yes, and then you're going to have gas over your mouth. You'll have a mask like a spaceship, like a spaceman would have. But if I have a mask in my mouth, how are they going to operate on me? Because after a while, you'll be fully asleep. Then the mask will come off, and you'll use another tube to keep you asleep. Won't this thing get in the way?

No, it won't get in the way at all. The doctors and the nurses have been very nice to me. I guess because I've just had a lot of luck with nurses and people. They told me not to be afraid and all that. And, you know, because I'd be asleep, I wouldn't feel anything. But I'm still kind of scared. You'll be waking up about an hour after the operation, and then you'll be drowsy most of the night. You'll be pretty sleepy most of the night. And tomorrow, when you're fully awake, then you'll want to walk around and start eating again. I haven't eaten very much, and so I'm really hungry. There's a sign outside the door that says I'm not supposed to have any food or liquids before the operation, so I'm very hungry. After the operation, I'll probably have ice cream and milkshakes and all the good stuff to get afterwards. See you later in the operating room. Okay, bye. After they took me down the corridor to the operating room, then they gave me the gas,

and they said it was oxygen. I don't know why they said it was oxygen, because I don't care if it's gas or not. Well, they gave me the oxygen, and pretty soon I was hearing echoes and things. When someone would talk, I would hear an echo of it. And then for some reason I started laughing. When I stopped laughing, then I went under. I don't remember what happened from there. Thursday night, of course, I wasn't feeling too well because I just got home. But these past few days I've been getting better, although my throat still hurts and I have ear pains. If a friend came to me and asked, you know, and asked me how it was to have your tonsils out, I'd probably tell him, you know, the good things and also some of the bad things. But the best part about having your tonsils out, one of the best things is having the nurses all over the place. Because if you have a problem, the nurses come in and they say, Oh, what's the matter? Gotta have all this, gotta have all that. I was surprised at all the stuff they give you for just a tonsillectomy.

Because they give you two nurses, they give you tissues, they give you intravenous. They give you all kinds of things that I didn't think they gave you. I thought they just took out your tonsils, you were in the bed for a little while, and then you went home. I didn't think they gave you all this stuff. How many days were you in there before they told you you were going to get your tonsils out? Well, the day in the film, I explained that the first day I came there to have a checkup with my... Yeah, they told you you had to get them out. Yeah. And then you went to the hospital, and you had to get them out. That's bad. Same day. Well, it happens. One day. That's why it's scary. Yeah, it's a lot better then, because suppose they told you a week in advance, right? And, yeah, you'd be worrying about it for a whole week. Yeah, then you have a heart attack and die. Was your doctor nice? Yeah, was your doctor nice? Yeah, was your doctor nice? I was pretty lucky with doctors and nurses because they were nice. Were you scared? Uh, yes. No, he was reading comic books. How long did it take you?

Yeah, how did you sort of get used to it? Did it take a long time? Yeah, how did you recover it? Recover it? How long did it take you? Yeah. 10 days two days two days after I came home I was able to eat food in I was just in this hospital for something and I wanted to see the operating rooms I walked in there it's really just like a regular room with just a table and all these lights around it's nothing but on these on these TV shows they have the big big operating table I used to go to this dentist and he used to give I don't get them anymore, but he used to give them to me, and it hurt, but not that much until one day I saw him take it out of the draw, and then it hurt so bad, but like he only puts, I think, that much in it, you know, anything, but when you see the needle, yeah, I know. When I got x-rays of, well, I get x-rays of my teeth a lot, and they do some x-rays where they just put this thing in your mouth.

But other ones, they put it in this wooden holder, and then they tell you to bite down on it, and it jams into your cheek, and it hurts so much. They say, stand still, this hole. They take a minute, and they wait. The buzzer goes... And it does take a minute. But it seems like an hour. I was surprised at all this big stuff that they have for just taking out your tonsils. I thought they just took out your tonsils. What happened? Stay all night, stay a little longer, dance all night, dance a little longer, pull off the door, go in the corner, you can't see why you're standing longer. Now you ought to see, blue-eyed Sally, she lives way down in Shinbo, now there's a number on the gate, number on the door, the next stop route is the ghostry store. Stay all night, stay a little longer Dance all night, dance a little longer Pull up, hook, hook in the corner

Can't see why you don't stay a little longer I can't go home if you go by the mill It's washed out at the bottom of the hill The big freaks up, little creaky level Plow my coal with a double shovel Stay on us, stay a little longer, Dance on our dance a little longer, Drive the rope, roll, and roll, and call, I can't see why I don't stay a little longer. Woo-hee! Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. You got it, you got it, you got it! Mama! I was sittin' in a window, didn't sing to my love A slop bucket fell from the window up above

A mule and a grasshopper eatin' ice cream While the mule got sick and I laid him on the cream Stay all night, stay a little longer Dance all night, dance a little longer Pop the coke, it's cold in the corner Can't see why, no, stay a little longer We'll be right back.
