Burger Chef & Jeff in "The Ghost of Grizzly Mountain"

Remember Burger Chef? Everyone thinks that McDonald's invented the Happy Meal, but they're really just copying the Burger Chef funmeal, which predated it by many years. The funmeals were cool, and, as with happy meals, they always included a toy surprise. Pictured above is a Burger Chef record, which came with someone's funmeal many years ago. (I don't know who, since I bought it on eBay.) I've digitized it, so now I can listen on my iPod to Burger Chef and Jeff in an epic adventure entitled "The Ghost of Grizzly Mountain". It's an interesting tale. Strangely, Jeff seems to be a composite of Robin (From Batman and Robin) and Shaggy (from Scooby-Doo). (What's even stranger is that both those characters are indirectly related, having been voiced by Casey Kasem.) If you want to know more about Burger Chef, go here.

As I do every week to conserve bandwidth, I'm sending the MP3 out via e-mail to people with Gmail or Yahoo account (since they accept large attachments) who have expressed a desire to receive the weekly audiotrack about which I blog. If you are interested, just let me know, and I'll add you to the list.
