Have you ever played 52 Card Pickup?
It’s not really a game. It’s played by spraying cards all over a room and shouting, “52 Card Pickup!” And then the other person has to pick up all 52 cards.
Sela, aged 7, “That’s not a game. That’s terrible!”
Alex, aged 18, “No, I’ve never heard of this. Do you think kids walk around with decks of cards these days?”*
*Actual cards were provided by Alex.

Liner Notes
Mambo No. 8? How many Mambos are there?
You probably know about Lou Bega’s Mambo No. 5. We still get requests for it at weddings. But did you know that Mambo No. 1 dates back to 12,450 BCE? Multi-award winning musical comedian Archie Henderson did an entire exposition on the history of music with sound clips in the form of a Twitter thread. See Mambo No. 2 below. Click through for the thread.
