The .Gif Friday Post No. 174 – Hair Fixatif, Aelita & Katzenklavier
Friday, 6 May 2011
Oddness. The 1st .gif is from an unknown TV advertisement. The 2nd is from the 1924 silent movie “Aelita: Queen of Mars.” The “Katzenclavier” dates to the 1500s long before .gif animations were invented.
Just Answer The Question.

Here’s the real question: “Would you rather look good or take a crap?” I’m really not sure what the correct answer is, but the options seem unnecessarily limiting.

Luscious, Tempting and Appealing.

“Guys! Check it out! Babs just showed up with a Tootsie Roll and she’s chewing it! Dump your skanky dates, you’re missing the best part! Man oh man, look at her go!”
True Fact: Tootsie Roll, see, is the life of every party… for wherever Young America gathers… Its popularity is acclaimed by all.
Acclaimed by all 13 dweebs in the advert, that is. The next best thing, besides watching Babs seductively remove her fillings with a brown phallus-shaped wad of sugar, corn syrup, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, condensed milk, cocoa, whey, soy lecithin, orange extract, and artificial and condensed flavors, is an ether binge.
Saturday Matinee – Government, Milk, Rainstorm, Phones & Violent Love
Saturday, 20 June 2009[Before we start our Saturday Feature Presentation, we found a great concise description that compares different types of government, with historical examples. Folks, please take 10 minutes to WATCH THIS, and then pass it on.]
We now resume our regular programming schedule.
Funny milk adverts [Found via Presurfer].
Turn up the sound. The first 1-1/2 minutes is VERY cool: Rainstorm.
Dem Phones. Really. [Found here.]
Ingrid Lucia & the Flying Neutrinos have an excellent version of Willie Dixon‘s “Violent Love,” with a Billie Holiday groove. Too bad there’s not a live video.
1983 saw OingoBoingo at it’s peak, with a ska version of “Violent Love.” Bunk sat at a table next to them at Madam Wong’s without knowing who they were. Then they got on stage and cranked. (Oh, yeah, if you didn’t know, the lead singer is Danny Elfman. Yep. That Danny Elfman.)
Life Choices: Seahorses or a Monkey?
Tuesday, 19 May 2009
“Hey Dad! I got a dollar! Can I borrow $19?”
It’s all in the advertising. Note that the $1 seahorses are not “Darling Pet Seahorses” (never mind that the ones in the picture are kinda dead and dessicated, and that just about anywhere in the world one can dig up sea shells hundreds of miles inland)…
But monkeys!
My dad knew that seahorses wouldn’t crap all over the house, wouldn’t get into the cupboard in the middle of the night to get at the strawberry preserves by dropping the jar on the tile floor, and wouldn’t attack your face when you looked them in the eye. Dad was wise beyond his years.
“So can I get the seahorses?”
“No.”

Cephalopods: Cats of the Deep
Sunday, 9 November 2008
New York, NY (Strutts News Services) – Thursday, Whoopie Goldberg, Barbara Walters, Joy Behar and Sherri Shepard (while berating Elizabeth Hasselbeck for daring to argue logic and common sense) were approached by a creature of superior intelligence from the studio audience of “The View,” and didn’t even notice. All suffered severe palp scrapes and abrasions. No beak bites were reported. Film at 11.
It’s intuitively obvious to the casual observer that this stuff really works. Just one drop and you’re free from you-know-what. I don’t need it, but I bet YOU do…
And if the Magic CephaloDrops don’t work, RIDE ‘EM! The danger is you gotta break ‘em first. Teach ‘em to stay on the track.
Mr. Bittman has absolutely no respect for the sentient. He’s just asking for a double-palp smackdown, right square in his crackerbockles.
Ignore the misspelling and the erroneous apostrophe, and the fact that a large octopus could easily kick a moray eel’s ass. It’s still a cool sketch.
[Lots more VERY COOL cephalopodia HERE. Related posts here, here and here. Oh, yeah, and here.]
