Odd Stuff from Long Ago

Don’t even ask what this is all about. Long story, but they’re all my doodles. The first person who asks about the orange slippers and how they suddenly appeared gets banned from this site for being a smartass.

Private First Class Hannibal Shirley Dobbs

The end of the Civil War was near
When quite accidentally,
A hero who sneezed, abruptly seized
Retreat and reversed it to victory!
His Medal of Honor pleased and thrilled
His proud little family group;
While pinning it on, some blood was spilled
And so it was planned he’d command… F TROOP!
Where Indian fights are colorful sights
And nobody takes a lickin’,
Where paleface and redskin
Both turn chicken!
When drilling and fighting get them down
They know their morale can’t droop
As long as they all relax in town
Before they resume with a bang and a boom… F TROOP!

Saturday Matinee – Personal Hygiene, Leave It To Beaver, Ramones, DC5, MGMT

Let’s get this one out of the way first. State of the art physics demonstration explores and remedies a common benign malady known as “poop splash.” [via].

Leave It To Beaver Beaver Beaver…

The Ramones’ “She’s The One.” Great stuff. I never understood why they never had a top 40 hit.

The Dave Clark Five‘s 1964 cover of  The Contours‘ classic “Do You Love Me” is almost better than the original. (Note that I said “almost.”)

Yeah. I miss it, too.

That makes five, and with that we’re out. Have a great weekend, folks.

The .Gif Friday Post No.194 – George Lucas Naked, Antarctica Attacks, Endless Wave

[ Unmorphed Lucas found here. Unmodified penguin .gif from here. Wave from here.]

UPS Babe Magnet

Look closely. It’s not a union ride, but it’s entirely awesome. I could extrapolate a buncha snarky puns about boxes and services here, but we try to keep it PG, or at least PG-13, and neither one of those ratings mean anything, at least not in the world of Babe Magnets.
