The Doctor Who Vending Machine
The folks at Epic Comics turned their vending machine into a TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space machine). This probably the coolest homage to Doctor Who anywhere in the world.Solar charger Sadly, the blue box wasn't able to travel back in time and bring back Crystal Pepsi.Kellogg didn't just stand on stage and make bird noises. He "sang" classical music, sometimes entire symphonies in his bird voices. Imagine Puccini in penguin, Liszt in lark or Beethoven in blue jay and you get the idea.The White Theater in Main Street in Salinas was sold out the big day of the show, but the weather had been awful. In those days, not all the streets of town were paved,Quarry plant and many folks preferred staying by their hearths to tracking through the mud. As a result, the theater was only about two-thirds full.Kellogg was used to playing to packed houses.non-stick knife Though he was cordial with the crowd, there were indications that he was not in the mood to give his all this night in Salinas. The Nature Singer cut short his bird-voice sonatas and instead spent most of the evening lecturing the audience about the wonders of vibrations.Then he stunned the crowd with one oddball assertion:"Suppose we take a baby three or four miles out to sea and toss it over the side, " he said.
"But if, even over the telephone, the baby heard its mother's frantic voice and the negative vibrations it would be sending, it would begin to sink."Some in the crowd appeared shocked at the notion that Kellogg, or anyone else for that matter, would throw a newborn into the ocean to see how long it floats. Most, seeing through the hyperbole, rolled their eyes and tittered.knife setsSensing bad vibrations from his audience over his illustration, Kellogg assured one and all that he had never attempted that particular experiment. But he managed to step on his own line, saying he would consider it if someone would volunteer the use of a baby.
Kellogg ended his show with another demonstration of the powers of vibration. He made a glass flame dance by manipulating his voice.But the baby-in-the-ocean experiment pretty much ruined the entire performance. He received lukewarm applause and was never invited to play the town again. He continued to span the country sharing his bird voices and preach his environmental gospel.He traveled in a huge hollowed-out redwood log he called the "Travel Log." He even had a recording contract with Victor Records from 1911 to 1919, mostly singing classical pieces. A particular favorite of his was an adaptation Xaver Scharwenka's Polish Dance No. 1 in E-Flat Minor, Opus 3.
