Made finds his grandfather’s mistreatment of his father harder to forgive, but adds: “He didn’t have love, I don’t think. My father would have tried to give him love. He wouldn’t have known how to receive it, because everyone around him was only ever used to collecting from him.” Dark Land • Desert Land • Giant Land • Ice Land • Mertropolis • Mushroom Kingdom • Mushroom Sea • Pipe Land • Sky Land • Underground Maze of Pipes • Water Land The Spruce Crafts has a list of 10 creative printable cootie catcher ideas that you can make for personal use or as party favors.

CATAWAMPTIOUSLY CHAWED UP. Completely demolished, utterly defeated. One of the ludicrous monstrosities in which the vulgar language of the Southern and Western States abounds. [Example:] In this debate Mr. B. was 'catawamptiously chawed up;' in his arguments were not only met, but his sarcasm returned upon himself with great effect. — Charleston [South Carolina] Mercury Things have been a goin' on in a catawompussed fix for a long time, nary party ownin' land yet both makin' jest as free as though they had it reg'larly deeded over to 'em. Some of the audience members have no nose, though this is usually intentional for characters who are farther away from the screen. At the beginning of the episode, when Cheatsy is spying on the Mario Brothers, Toad, and Princess Toadstool, his face is colored orange when he leaves. Lightly grease a 20cm/8in round deep loose-bottomed cake tin or tart tin and line the base with baking paper.Made was two when Fela died. His grandfather came to his naming ceremony and called him “Afolabi”, meaning “born into greatness”, though his “first real connection” with Fela was when his dad handed him his entire discography and said: “Learn the horn lines.” Now Made has played every instrument on his album. In 2014 he followed in Fela’s footsteps to Trinity Laban conservatoire in London. There, he befriended young jazz artists such as fellow saxophonist Cassie Kinoshi and Ezra Collective’s Femi Koleoso, who shared an affinity for Afrobeat. “In Lagos, the first question among people my age would be, ‘Do you like women like your grandfather?’” says Made. But in London, “I met so many peers who were influenced by his music and the legacy of his struggle.” catawampus n. a peculiar or remarkable thing or person. Often joc[ular]. [First cited example:] 1833 Paulding Lion of the West 21: On my way I took a squint at my wild lands along by the Big Muddy and Little Muddy to Bear Grass Creek, and had what I call a rael { sic}, roundabout catawampus, clean through the d eestrict. Roll out the remaining cookie dough to cover the pie. With a little water on your finger, dampen the top edge of the cookie dough, put the top on the pie and pinch the edges to seal. Cut off any excess. Put the pie in the freezer for 1 hour. Despite Koopa telling Cheatsy he is going to help him capture Milli Vanilli, Cheatsy does not do anything to help him; he only appears in the Doomship. There is something cowardly in the idea of disunion. Where is the wealth and power that should make us fourteen millions take to our heels before three hundred thousand slaveholders, for fear of being catawamptiously chawed up?

To make the dough, whisk the butter and sugar together until light and creamy. Add the eggs, egg yolk, vanilla and almond extracts and mix well. Add the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt and mix until you have a stiff dough. Add the chocolate chips and stir to distribute them evenly through the dough. Cut away a third of the dough and reserve for making the pie lid. Fold each corner of the paper towards the inside of the center. Flip the paper, then repeat. On the folded sides, you should have inside flaps and outside flaps. Ken Kolb says that he spent most of his life as a traveling salesman, and the years he noticed how air blowers in public restrooms were replacing old paper towel dispensers. While the new technology does have it advantages, it also prevents people from using the paper they would wipe their hands with after washing them to open the bathroom door on their way out. This he claims increases the risk or re-contamination, so he took it upon himself to come up with a solution. That’s basically the short story behind the Kooty Key, a small hook-like plastic device that allows germaphobes to interact with potentially-germ-infested surfaces without the risk of contaminating their hands.

When Mario says, "How come we don't get this kind of applause when we do good plumbing?", Luigi's sideburn is painted green when he turns his head to face him.

Although some things have moved on. One of Made’s songs is called Young Lady, about the plight of women who are sexually harassed by lecturers in Nigerian universities. It ends in a message of self-love, which isn’t the sort of thing you’d imagine Fela, a vocal anti-feminist, writing. “Maybe not,” he laughs. Fela’s regressive attitude towards women is part of his complex legacy, though the Kutis say that such troubling aspects of his life don’t overshadow his place in the pantheon of musical renegades. “He did significantly more good than he did anything controversial,” says Made. “His music alone was superb, he was a genius,” adds Femi. Femi struggled to find his own musical identity at first. He’d played in his father’s Egypt 80 band since his teens and ended up standing in for Fela in 1984 at a show in Los Angeles, when Fela was detained at Lagos airport and jailed for 20 months on bogus charges of currency smuggling. Much to his dad’s anger, Femi resigned once Fela returned from jail, to start his own band, Positive Force. They reconciled in 1990, and Femi says he isn’t resentful, he sees the bigger picture. “[Fela] had this battle with the government, they kept beating him. He came out stronger, he came out fighting. His courage, his bravery, the pain he went through – after all that, I could forgive my personal grievances with him.” Made says not much has changed since Fela’s era. He has a song to this effect, Different Streets, which uses excerpts of speeches from his father about corruption. It is “entrenched in every single social class, from the plumber to the president”, says Made, who has the softly spoken air of a guru. “In many ways, Nigeria today is worse than it was in the 70s and 80s. We are more misinformed. And we are even more confident in being wrong. That is worse… Everyone, in some way, is lying and extorting out from somebody else. There are very few people living totally honestly in Nigeria right now.” In both the beginning of the concert and the ending, a sign outside mistakenly says "Preseting Milli Vanilli" instead of "Presenting Milli Vanilli". The stadium where the concert takes place looks like Shea Stadium in New York City, which was the home of Major League Baseball's New York Mets from 1964-2008.

The true origin of cattywampus may be lost (if it was ever known), but any serious attempt to account for the name should, I think, take seriously the strong tendency of dictionaries during the 1800s to link the term to catamounts—and to the survival of wampus cats even today.

Legacy+ feels, in some way, about not making the mistakes of our parents and about putting family first; the relationship between Femi and Made, as well as their music, is full of tenderness. “I hope people will hear the love and intimacy that we share,” says Femi. “My son had to be brought up during this very chaotic time and everybody still asks me, ‘How did he turn out like this?’ I look at him and say, ‘You make me so proud.’ All I did was give him love.” L-r) Seun, Made and Femi Kuti performing in Lagos, 2020. Photograph: Bolaji Alonge/Eyes of a Lagos Boy also catawampous, cattywampus, catiwampus, etc. (see "Dictionary of American Slang" for more), American colloquial. First element perhaps from obsolete cater "to set or move diagonally" (see catty-cornered); second element perhaps related to Scottish wampish "to wriggle, twist, or swerve about." Or perhaps simply the sort of jocular pseudo-classical formation popular in the slang of those times, with the first element suggesting Greek kata-. And don’t get Femi started on Fela’s former drummer, whom he accuses of lying about composing Fela’s drum parts. “Tony Allen never said he wrote Fela’s drum patterns when Fela was alive,” says Femi. “Never uttered those words. Why are you fabricating the truth when the man is not alive to defend himself?” Allen died last year and is not around to defend himself either, but Femi remains resolute. “Fela dies and they start that rumour,” he continues. “That’s… that’s…evil! Yes, Tony Allen did a great job, but he’s paid to do that, as I did when I joined him. If Fela gave me a part, it was my duty to play it as best as possible or get the hell out of the band.”

He refused to teach his son music, insisting that he would achieve success on his own (he was not wrong). When Femi made his first solo record, 1989’s No Cause for Alarm, Fela went around saying that he didn’t like it. His son was rarely the focus of his attention while he was waging his one-man war against the juntas, or ping-ponging between wives. Femi says he doesn’t know whether Fela even felt paternal affection – perhaps an after-effect, he wonders, of his fiercely strict upbringing. “He admired his mother, she was there for his fight, but [their relationship wasn’t] intimate hugging and all that,” says Femi. “My father said he got 3,000 strokes. The slogan was, ‘if you spare the rod, spoil the child’.” Femi was rarely the focus of Fela's attention while he was waging his one-man war against the juntas You see, there are not so many fighting-men down yonder as there used to be. They had but two armies — Lee's and Hood's — and couldn't very well afford to lose one of them.
