    As I told Shawn - I live by the Boy Scout's marching song - Be Prepared!

    "If you're looking for adventure of a new and different kind and you
    meet a Girl Scout who is similarly inclined ... don't be frightened,
    don't be flustered, don't be scared .... Be Prepared" - song lyric by
    Tom Lehrer.

    Most of Tom's work is hilarious. There is a lady on IG that does funny skits to some of his tunes (and other older but suprisingly risque
    tunes).

    Nay! ALL of Professor Lehrer's songs are hilarious. In 2022, Tom Lehrer
    gave an enormous Ḥanukkah present to the world, dedicating his entire
    oeuvre to the Public Domain.

    From 1962, he taught mathematics in the political science department
    at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). In 1965 he gave up
    on his mathematics dissertation on modes in statistics, after working
    on it intermittently for 15 years.

    In 1972, Lehrer joined the faculty of the University of California, Santa Cruz, teaching an introductory course entitled The Nature of Mathematics
    to liberal arts majors "math for tenors", according to Lehrer. He also
    taught a class in musical theater. He occasionally performed songs in
    his lectures.

    And AFAIK he's still above the sod. I cannot find anywhere that gives a
    date for his demise. Just a "born on" of 09 April, 1928.

    That is great! That is probably why the IG poster I mentioned is able to
    use so many of his songs.

    From 1962, he taught mathematics in the political science department
    at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). In 1965 he gave up
    on his mathematics dissertation on modes in statistics, after working
    on it intermittently for 15 years.

    Teaching mathematics in a poli-sci department is not something you expect
    to hear every day, but I guess that is something one might expect at MIT!

    And AFAIK he's still above the sod. I cannot find anywhere that gives a
    date for his demise. Just a "born on" of 09 April, 1928.

    He could very well be. Good on him!

    I know who you're taking about and how she reacts to those songs is
    hilarious.

    He is 96 years old and is a very private individual according to what I saw online.

    Yield: 23 Servings

    2 qt Dry red wine
    2 qt Muscatel
    1 pt Sweet vermouth
    2 tb Angostura bitters
    2 c Raisins
    Peelings of 1 orange
    12 Whole cardamoms; bruised in
    - a mortar with a pestle
    10 Whole cloves
    1 (2") piece fresh ginger
    1 Stick cinnamon

    In a 6-8 quart enameled or stainless-steel pot, mix
    together the dry red wine, muscatel, sweet vermouth,
    bitters, raisins, orange peel and slightly crushed
    cardamoms, whole cloves, ginger and cinnamon.

    Cover and let the mixture stand at least 12 hours so that
    the flavors will develop and mingle. Shortly before
    serving, add the aquavit and the sugar.

    Stir well and bring it to a full boil over high heat.
    Remove at once from the heat, stir in the almonds and
    serve the hot "Glogg" in mugs.

    In Sweden, a small spoon is placed in each mug to scoop up
    the almonds and raisins.
