After a Friday night on the ballroom floor, our weekend was fairly uneventful. How was your weekend? Surely someone out there did something exciting!
In this post by Leo (Doggy’s Style), he explained his appreciation for Tic-Tacs Cinnamon, which got me thinking – after all, I’m a fan of the white Tic-Tacs.
I imagine some of the readers here are Seinfeld fans, thus may remember the episode of the sound caused by Tic-Tacs when walking. What if someone transformed that sound into music?
For your Monday Morning Entertainment, I present the music of Tic-Tac Man. Have a good week!
Well, I wouldn’t say Tic-Tac Man is the coolest guy around, but I suppose he has very fresh breath…
Come on Carrie, he is awesome. He engaged a crowd got the smiling and had fun.
Engaging is not always synonymous with cool. At least I think my kids would definitely say that about me.
Carrie,
Here’s the big test …. show the video to your kids and let us know what they think!
I can already see the eye rolls I’ll get when I suggest it to them…
Just show them, see what they think, and then let us know. Therefore, if they don’t like it, they will have to endure the sigma of agreeing with Mom the dork.
Will do. But don’t get me wrong. I liked the Tic Tac Man. I just thought he wasn’t the coolest cat in the shed…
This could be a good setup on your kids!
Well, Frank, I showed my teen son the Tic Tac Man video (he’s home from school until tomorrow). I wish you could have seen his reaction. Made me laugh out loud. Let’s just say “cool” was not one of the words he used.
But you gave me a good time out of the whole deal, so that makes Tic Tac man more cool than I first gave him credit for!
Cheers for sharing and for playing along!
I remember that episode—it was so that Elaine’s coworker couldn’t sidle up! Tic-Tac Man is interesting. I like the white peppermint ones best too.
Weebs,
Alright … a fellow white peppermint Tic-Tac lover! Thanks for sharing!!!
I like the white peppermint ones too!
Cathy,
Welcome first-time commenter and fellow white peppermint Tic-Tac fan! Plus, I see we have common links to other bloggers! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you return.
Believe it or not, I am STILL shoveling snow! Batting cleanup, actually. Getting rid of old piles of crap and ice that doesn’t want to die. That, and restocking with firewood. We had two offers of wood that we weren’t sure would work out, so we asked for both – and got ‘em! From famine to mega-feast – now I gotta find places to PUT it all!
)
Enjoy our … “Indian Fall”? (Hey, warm fall weather is called “Indian Summer”, so wouldn’t warm winter weather be “Indian Fall”?
John,
This week is going to get progressively warmer, so break up the piles and let nature do its work … thus you can concentrate on dealing with the wood feast. Thanks for commenting.
This was so fun! Where do you find them?
I hummed along…..
Clan,
Thanks for stopping by.
After all, it is quite hummable.
We can’t buy cinnamon tic tacks here. Can you send me some??? But I’m a big fan of Seinfeld and we do get that here! xx
Charlie,
Maybe we should start a campaign to get cinnamon Tic-Tacs to Australia! Thanks for visiting.
Hi,
Loved the video, that was amazing and sounded good as well.
Mags,
The rattle is one thing, but the pan-flute version with the cases was very interesting. Thanks for visiting.
Yes,I’d watch his set twice and leave a big tip.
Fun video, Frank, and have a great week!
Guapo,
That a way … cheers to those who enjoy street performers! Thanks for visiting.
I like Seinfeld but I seldom watched the show because I loathe network TV with all those commercials. Fun video! I spent much of the weekend writing and I saw “Django Unchained” at my neighborhood multiplex. It’s extremely violent but that’s typical Quentin Tarantino. Overall, I thought it was a very well made film. As with “Inglorious Basterds”, he’s once again created an historical fantasy for the silver screen.
Lame,
Violent movies just aren’t my thing, so Django hasn’t been on the list … but the previews look interesting. … so thanks for confirming why I shouldn’t go. Glad you enjoyed the video … and thanks for commenting.
If QT films are not your thing due to his excessive use of violence, you might want to avoid this one. It’s another bloodbath.
Thanks for confirming.
What a wonderful and funny way to start a Monday – don’t like Tic-Tac … but for Leo I can live with it. Brilliant video again, Frank … have a good week.
Viveka,
Leo was the trigger for me finding this one several days ago. Thanks for commenting.
This is cool video.
Tic Tac give you away while you walk.
Thanks for the mention Frank.
The Micha website is weird, very weird.
Leo,
I found this as in my search for a response on your site. Almost posted it as a comment, but thought it was a good one for my Monday. Thanks for triggering the idea!.
Unsure what your mean the Micha website.
The tictacmicha.com is the link at the end of the video. Is the guy’s website.
Oh … don’t know because I didn’t visit it.
While I’m not a Tic-Tac fan, I love the video! Woohoo for ingenuity!!
Alex,
Definite ingenuity … who would have thunk it! Good morning to you!
Morning Frank
I just really enjoy street performers. Especially the clever ones!
There really is a place for all of us in this world. I’m glad he found his niche. And sorry to disappoint, didn’t do anything exciting this weekend unless you count watching movies and sports on the telly. Still recovering from all of the holiday celebrating–the wallet needs the most recovery.
TBM,
Great point about everybody having a niche. It’s also a good example tthat human creativity seems to unlimited potential. Cheers to taking it easy this weekend with the telly! Thanks for stopping by.
This is really fun! I remember that seinfeld episode well!
Mimo,
Glad you enjoyed it … thus I met my goal of a Monday post. Thanks for visiting.
…that’s what tic-tac can do to a person!!!!
Marina,
Thanks for the chuckle.
Hmmmm … I guess whether this is a positive or a negative is a matter of perspective.
…well, he looks very happy, so it is definitely positive!!!
Well he certainly got my toes tapping, Frank.
We spent the weekend laying wooden flooring, and are still busy with it. Went out with friends for dinner at the club on Saturday evening. That was a really well deserved break and most enjoyable. Have a great week.
Paradise,
I may have to play it again when I have a box of Tic-Tacs in the house. Sounds like hard work … but at least you worked in some fun. Thanks for sharing.
It’s the blue spearmint ones for me!
Fasab,
Not sure I’ve had those. Thanks for the tip.
Fine tic-tac video, thank you.
Happy new year 2013!
(Who else but trade uncle loves us …)
I like the mint ones myself, Frank. The Tic-Tac man is quite something. He knows how to work the crowd. It reminded me of Himalayan music. I’m not sure if that’s what it’s called. I went to an amusement park this weekend and it rained on us. No fun!
Amy,
Hooray to another person who appreciates Tic-Tacs. Agree on the music … also reminds me of music from the Andes. The amusement park sounds like fun, but not in the rain. Bummer. Thanks for stopping by.
so you’re racist? prefer white tic tac’s? or you’re tacist? i dunno. i was reaching on that one.
Rich,
Yep … you’re reachin’ … but I do prefer the mint varieties over the fruit ones. Thanks for stopping by.
YEA Tic-tacs! Cool! Just smiling and walking.
Mouse,
Gotta agree with you on this one as yes – creating smiles is a good thing. Glad you enjoyed this.
Tic-Tac Man is the shiz!! Even if the majority of that crowd is looking at him like he’s insane. What a bunch of party poopers.
Nicole,
I thought he was cool too. After all, I like unique stuff. But … hey — the lady drummers where having a good time. Thanks for stopping by.
Also, I prefer the orange Tic-Tacs. They’re the tastiest.
Everybody has to have a reference! I’m on the lookout for the blue ones to try.
Oh, and I just bought a new box of Tic Tacs, Frank – the possibilities!
Lynn,
As our resident composer, I’m looking forward to your inclusion of Tic-Tacs into one of your original compositions. Oh my my …. you may turn this into a challenge for your students! Thanks for visiting.
[...] In addition to this post you should read Frank’s On a Monday Rattle post. [...]
Frank, I clearly should have come to the party earlier, but I’ve been sick.
You have obviously forgotten that Tic-Tacs led me to an international life of crime: http://fiftyfourandahalf.com/2012/06/08/an-international-life-of-crime/
Oh, the shame.
Elyse,
Just came back from revisiting that post … I remember that one, and an excellent supplement for this one! Thanks for sharing with all!
