Daily One Inch Button #232 - Robert Johnson

Many consider him to be the grandfather of rock 'n' roll.

He wrote an amazing song called Crossroad, which is in fact a tale of how he got to be such a great musician.

It is said that he met the devil at the crossroads near where he lived, and he traded his soul in exchange for a finely tuned guitar and the ability to play the best blues that anyone had ever heard.

Did that really happen? Listen to the song and judge for yourself.

Daily One Inch Button #231 - I Heart Dictionaries

I love them.

I really do. I mean, where else are you going to find so many words?

That probably sounds just a little bit silly. Obviously, words are going to be found in a dictionary.

The Arabic dictionaries that were compiled between the 8th and 14th centuries were the first to actually be in alphabetical order. How did people find words until then?

Samuel Johnson took only nine years to compile a dictionary, a feat for which he was mighty proud.

Show your dictionary love today and get this button. Get a dozen, while you're at it.

Daily One Inch Button #230 - Furious Sharks

Look at those sharks. Don't they look angry?

Well, you'd be pretty angry if you were the subject of de-finning. I just made that up. People actually remove shark fins because it is considered a delicacy.

Shark Fin Frontier is a great look at this trend, and what is causing it.

Do the sharks a favor and don't eat shark fin soup. Otherwise, you can look forward to some pretty furious sharks coming after you.

Daily One Inch Button #229 - Pass the Sufganiyos / Sufganiyot

Some people call them jelly donuts.

Some people call them jelly doughnuts.

Yet other people, particularly this time of the year, call them sufganiyos. Sufganiyot, if you pronounce it just a bit differently.

They're delicious, regardless of their name.

Sufganiyos by any other name enrich the festival of lights, too.

Daily One Inch Button #228 - Owen Hart

Owen Hart.

When I was a kid, I used to love watching wrestling. I will admit that I never really enjoyed wrestling in the 1990s as much as I did in the mid 1980s but it still struck a chord with me when Owen Hart tragically died due to a mechanical failure shortly before a wrestling match.

This tribute video has a good sense of reviewing his magnificent career.

Daily One Inch Button # 227 - Arrrrrrrgyle!

I think I first thought of making this button when I was on the ride Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland.

I probably first thought of the joke when I was a teenager.

Oh, come on. You love it.

If you really want, I can mix up the colors of the argyle for you. That's just how much I care. just mention what colors you'd like in the comment area when you order.

Yarr?

Daily One Inch Button #226 - Richard Burns

Richard Burns died at the tender young age of thirty-four from a brain tumour and left so many fans devastated that many memorial videos were created.

The band Travis dedicated the album The Boy With No Name in his memory.

He actually started driving at the age of eight in the field near his family's home. From the age of thirteen he knew that he wanted to be a race car driver and so he did everything in his power to become one. He was superb, and he will be missed.

Daily One Inch Button # 225 - Tea for Me

It's tea for me - and you?

There are thousands upon thousands of variations of tea.

In today's turbulent economic times, tea also makes sense. Ounce for ounce, it's consistently more affordable than coffee - even if you get Republic of Tea brand tea or get it from a local tea shop. Don't let the price per pound scare you because you only need to get a quarter pound at a time and then you use only a teaspoon - where the name of that spoon originated - at a time.

Tea?
