Confessions Of a Crabgrass Cowboy is a tale about coming of age in a fresh and eccentric environment called suburbia. As a personal memoir, the book details the vicissitudes of replacing playground bullies with "Playboy Playmates," while simultaneously preparing daily for the Armageddon we were promised was right around the corner.

Confessions Of a Crabgrass Cowboy also chronicles the cultural quirks of the era itself-Dick and Jane, CONELRAD, Charles Atlas, Tupperware(R), X-Ray spectacles, coon skin caps, and anatomically correct dolls are but a handful-that we now so closely and warmly associate with this distinctive period in American history.

Were Dick and Jane the only children in American without a surname? Did Battle Creek, Michigan really exist? Were the prodigious privates of John Dillinger really placed briefly on display at the world-renowned Smithsonian Institute? Were the lyrics of the Kingsmen's 1963 one-hit-wonder "Louie Louie" as obscenity-laced as many believed? What hapless sitcom blew the lid off the unspoken toilet taboo by exposing millions of viewers to the interior of an American bathroom for the first time?

So saddle up for a leisurely ride back in time and discover what all the fuss was really about.

Unconventional Usage
I use a variety of these SpaceAid Long Wrap Dispensers to hold my stabilizer for my embroidery business. I have a couple of rolls that are longer than most, and these particular dispensers hold them perfectly. The cutter is very sharp and makes cutting in a straight line a snap! They look very nice hanging on the wall too.

I wouldn't recommend it to friends.
Unfortunately, I made a fundamental mistake: I assumed that the longest containers would fit the longest baking liners currently available. Yet, I really should have measured them. Consequently, they do not meet my expectations a result of my own poor approach to the purchase. Aside from that, the items arrived undamaged, though I haven't actually removed them from their plastic packaging yet. I'll give it to someone in the family and won't give it back. I also ordered a triple dispenser in which the magnets are misaligned; as a result, the side used for loading the rolls does not close securely or properly. I probably wouldn't recommend them to anyone, but I’ve decided to keep the triple ones for myself.

Not for Costco size rolls
I was hoping to organize both Press and Seal and Parchment Paper in this bamboo cutter. Sadly, the width of the holes are too small to fit the 'Costco size' rolls of parchment aren't wide enough.

Great storage idea
I was sick of having all my bags and wrap boxes getting stick in my drawer. This worked perfect. The sliding cutters work well. Labels included. Easy to use and good quality.

useful
Works great - use it for wax paper and foil. I I can find some parchment paper in a roll this size it would be perfect
