Art Clokey passed away 9 January 2009. Here’s his (pre-Gumby) tribute to Disney’s Fantasia. [Found here.]
Whoa. Bill Wyman, Georgie Fame, Peter Frampton, Gary Brooker, Beverley Skeete, all rolled into one rock. Nice late night low key roadtrip music.
Very nice piano version of Zappa’s classic f-u song to an ex*, originally recorded by the Mothers in the mid 60′s. That final chord is awsome.
*The story I heard, Larry… Someone named Wendy was one of FZ’s early loves. There is also a story that no one was named “Wendy” until Disney’s “Peter Pan” was released in 1953. Although that may be true, “Peter Pan and Wendy” was published in 1911, according to The Wikiness, and “Wendy” may have appeared as early as 1902.
Now for our feature presentation: HOMUNCULUS [Warning: NS for young kids.]
Martin Luther King Jr. was born 15 January 1929. Its a shame that so many self-serving politicians and faux civil rights organizations have co-opted and distorted his legacy.
When Planetross says there are a lot of bums near the train station, he’s not kidding. I mean, just look at this maasterpiece. The locals fondly refer to it as:
アメリカ人は、この記念碑でよく笑う。彼らはそれを面白いと思う。
Located at the rear end of the plaza, you pass the gas station. It’s on the backside. For best results, photograph this statue during a full moon while standing upwind.
The monument already had a lot of cracks in it by the time it was installed. It’s been said that the sculptor always gets behind in his work.
Not trying to be cheeky; it tookus no time at all to come up with these terrible buns. Butt I digrass… The title of this work o fart? The Acrobutts.
The End.
P.S. I suppose that the steel hoops protecting the sculpture represent the Rings around Uranus. Yeah, I know. I just had to say it.
[Planetross found it near his house, kinda; kudos to S.Le who provided the name for the stack 'o glutes. Possibly related posts here, here and here.]
P.S. Happy Birthday to Rush Limbaugh, Howard Stern, George Duke, Rob Zombie, Sheila Jackson Lee, the Amazing Kreskin, Marco Boogers, Henny Youngman, Mississippi Fred McDowell.
Police Officer Martin Duffy rappels down the side of 2430 Adam Clayton Powell Blvd. in Harlem to shoot a 400-pound Bengal-Siberian tiger, that was kept in an apartment, with a tranquilizer. The sedated tiger, named Ming, and a 3-foot caiman alligator were removed from the building. The animals’ owner was tracked down in Philadelphia and charged with reckless endangerment.
