December 2011 – Page 3 – Tacky Raccoons

Portable Camera

That’s Herman “Germany” Schaefer. He stole first base in 1911. [Found here.]

Abandoned 3D Graffito

[Found here.]

Mom would have loved this had I painted it in her basement, but only after she kicked my ass upstairs one step at a time.

Thanks for kicking my ass, Mom. We’re gonna miss you.

Off-Season Iditarod Dogs

That’s Ted, and he’s interviewed in “Profiles in Tenacity: Get To Know An Iditarod Sled Dog.”

Saturday Matinee – Willie Dixon, Stones, Gatemouth Brown

Willie Dixon’s “Nervous.” (Dixon was one of the most prolific bluesmen of his time, and was a stutterer in real life, rarely sang because of it.)

“19th Nervous Breakdown” is a cool limp synch by the Anti-Beatles.

Gatemouth Brown was awesome, played Texas blues/swing with finesse and class.

Short post for Saturday as I’m out of town. See you back here tomorrow with more BoogedyBoogedy.

The .Gif Friday Post No.205 – Varney’s Troll Face, Happy Corgi, Penguin Rocks

[Found here and here, and the Ernest P. Worrell/Trollface morph is my own experiment.]

Bikers Welcome

“I realize that clowns make some people uneasy & that’s ok. I’m not judging. If you can’t handle looking at clowns, there is always the cemetery across the parking lot.”

Pure awesome. Just the thought of clowns on Harleys makes me smile. I can only imagine the sounds they make rolling into town:

*PHBBBBBBBBBBBBBBT* *GLUBGLUBGLUBGLUBGLUB* *BUUUUUUUUURRRRRRP* *BOOGEDYBOOGEDYBOOGEDY* *WOOPWOOPWOOPWOOPWOOP*

7 December 1941 – Remember Always.

…and deliver us from evil.

Those words are as poignant today as when the Lord’s Prayer was written, apropos in 1941, and especially applicable in the long aftermath of 911.

May God Bless the souls who gave their lives in voluntary sacrifice; and May God Bless the living who selflessly protect our Country from those who wish us dead.
