USEFUL PROTEIN FROM LIFE CEREAL
Found this fun 1962 Quaker Life magazine ad of the forgotten cereal mascot the Useful Protein. You'll see that I added another scan of the ad and this one is for anyone who would like to cut him out. I used a card stock type of paper to print him on and after cutting him out he now stands next to my computer monitor.
JUST CLICK ON THE SCAN AND PRINT HIM OUT FOR YOUR VERY OWN USEFUL PROTEIN
If you want a smaller one just use this smaller version to print out.

SQUIRREL TOWN GRAVOIS MILLS, MO POSTCARD
I have no information about Squirrel Town and I didn't know it existed until I found this postcard last week. It was located in Gravois Mills which is part of the Lake of the Ozarks here in Missouri. The card is probably from the 1950's.The funny thing is that lady is letting a squirrel drink Coca-Cola from a bottle.
You know, I wonder if Squirrel Town had a little squirrel mayor or a little squirrel sheriff. Maybe there was a little squirrel school house with tiny little squirrel students. If they had a school then they probably had a little squirrel church with a little squirrel congregation. More I think about it they probably even had a little squirrel fire department and they might've had a little squirrel . . .Ok, I better quit before I go nuts!

LAST GUBERBURGER AT THE WHEEL INN DRIVE IN
Last Sunday night I had my first and last Guberburger at the famous Wheel Inn Drive In on the intersection of hiway 50 & 65 in Sedalia, Missouri and I regret waiting this long to finally try it. In the past I’ve usually ordered the double meat cheeseburger because I was always kind of afraid I wouldn’t like the Guberburger. My fears were foolish ones as I really enjoyed the famous Guberburger, a hamburger with hot melted peanut butter.
Unfortunately, this Missouri roadside landmark will be closed forever on September 3 thanks to a new hiway expansion. The Wheel Inn has been serving the Guberburger, Soozie-Q fries and many other tasty treats since 1947. 
Check out this opening day photo back in 1947.
Here's a menu from a few years back that I'm glad I saved.
A few flickr photos to check out!

If you’re near Sedalia or happen to be passing thru between now and September 3, be sure to stop and grab yourself a Guberburger, Soozie-Q fries and a Cherry Coke before it’s too late!

MR. MOUTH GAME
FLEA MARKET FRIDAYS #20
Last weekend I got back another piece of my childhood when I found this Mr. Mouth game. I loved this game when I was kid!
The game starts once you flip the little white switch and Mr. Mouth begins spinning his head while opening and closing his mouth. Up to four players can play as you try to use your flipper hand to flip a plastic chip into his mouth. First person who successfully feeds Mr. Mouth all of their chips wins the game.
Mr. Mouth was also a fun toy to play with as he sometimes acted as an evil monster out to eat army men and Star Wars figures. I remember how funny it was to watch my dog, Bluebell's reaction to him as she wasn't too sure why he kept snapping his big mouth at her.
I paid $9.99 since for him at the flea market and the box has the original price tag from 1977 and back then it cost $9.88. How about that, he's only worth eleven cents more 30 years later!
Here's the link for the original patent.
Mr. Mouth, Mr. Mouth. He just can't keep his big mouth shut!
