Saturday Matinee – McDonald’s Shadrach Zoom

Timelapse video of McDonald’s food deterioration. Amazing how fast it wastes away to nothing.

Now before we segue into something completely different, here’s a link to a kid who hacked into a news broadcast. First he sped up the feed, then he tossed in his own commentary. (Here, with subtitles. Tip o’ the Tarboosh to mjazz.)

The Larks‘ version of  “Shadrach” is pretty cool gospel. Don’t know what the song’s about? Click here.

The Deep River Boys‘ theatrical version of “Shadrach.”

Louis Armstrong‘s “Shadrach” took the gospel song to a higher level.

The Cadillacs‘ “Zoom,” although not gospel is great R&B stuff. Have a great weekend, folks. Be back here tomorrow.

Just Another Day

[Image found here.]

So there I was, filling up the tank with paraffin, and I spotted a javalina hog. Great. Now I gotta go home dig a pit, build a fire and find some box springs. On the plus side, we won’t have to go to the butcher shop until November 2nd.

Hamburger, Flipper

That’s a Moomaid on the right, also known as a sea cow.

One is awesome, one is not. Coincidence?

THIS made my day.

While websurfing today, I found another of Raincoaster’s blogs (how many do you have, rain?) Here’s a screenshot:

Now that by itself may not impress you, but lookee here:

Yep, CafePress is advertising with Bunk designs from here and here. Made my day!

Shredding Hot Links

[Important announcement: The wiener of the runoff competition is Planetross by almost a 2:1 margarine. Thanks to all of you for tolerating the behind the scenes flamewars between Planetross and Wheels. They’re both good peeps, but when you toss a free sweatshirt into a crowd there’s likely to be some blood involved.

Thanks also to the folks at CafePress for donating THE COVETED PRIZE. So here’s another plug:

Did you know that dogs were the first domesticated animals? I didn’t, and Archaeology Magazine examines the hows, whys, wheres and whens.

Revolver Maps is a cool widget, spotted at Plate O’ Fish. Unfortunately it doesn’t work on WorpDress for some reason, so we added a button at upper right above the blog counter instead.

Although the story is likely fabricated, this one from 2004 is still funny. On the other hand, This Diary is likely true.

Saturday Matinee – Giant Isopods, Claymation, The Swamp, Jolly Boys, Lady Day & Satchmo

Giant Isopods! Yay! [via]

Sure, it’s amateur Claymation, but it kept my attention for the pure and simple oddness of it all.

Talking Heads were one of the premier punk bands out of CBGB’s, even though the punk genre (gawd I hate that word “genre”) was coopted by others who trashed it and gave it a bad name in the late 70s.

The Jolly Boys sing Amy Winehouse’ “Rehab” [via]. I gotta find out more about these guys.

Let’s see. Got four videos up, and since five is ideal for subliminal reasons, let’s roll one more for the road.

Awesome combination of Lady Day and Satchmo.  Have a great weekend, folks, and we’ll be back tomorrow.
