Turn your life upside down
Super Sunday was quite super. Soccernet got it right again and I won $4.75. So anyways, I saw this cartoon about Dicky Moe. Obviously it's spoofing Moby Dick. Upside down names eh? Will Will we be calling the great white whale Dicky Moe now? JP and Candun? Naron and Tingkea? More topsy turvy stuff below and a great quote for Dicky Moe.
Music
Upside down
Bouncing off the ceiling
Inside out
Stranger to this feeling
Got no clue what I should do
But I'll go crazy if I can't get next to you
Cake
Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
Homemade Pineapple Upside-Down Cake is so good and so pretty. It's special enough for company, but quick enough for just the family.
1/4 cup butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup chopped pecans
20-ounce can of pineapple slices, drained, reserving 5 tablespoons juice
3 eggs, separated
1 cup sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
maraschino cherries
Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt the butter in a 9-inch cast iron skillet. Add the brown sugar and pecans; stir well to thoroughly combine, then turn off the heat -- don't cook it. Arrange 8 pineapple slices in a single layer over the brown sugar mixture (your 9-inch skillet should accommodate 8 slices without overlapping). Set the skillet aside. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl; set aside. Beat the egg yolks at medium speed until they are thick and lemon colored. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat. Add the flour mixture to the yolk mixture, and stir in the reserved pineapple juice. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold the whites into the cake batter. Pour or spoon the batter evenly over the pineapple slices. Bake at 350°F for 40 to 45 minutes. Cool the cake in the skillet for 30 minutes; then invert it onto a serving plate. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.

Upside down house
No, it's not the result of a Central Florida tornado: it's Norman Johnson's Upside-Down House, a gimick to drive traffic to Sunrise Golf Village. They're similar, but right side up, houses were for sale ("from $11,500 FHA - VA -CONV."). This is one way to get people to walk through your model home.
That's a real car upside-down in the carport, real standard size furniture was hung from the "floor" inside.
Now, there's only one question: when demolished, would you say they tore it down -- or tore it up?
Quote of the day : Ugliness is in a way superior to beauty because it lasts.
