Yep. She was on your Grandfather’s wish list when he was 14, and on your Great Grandfather’s wish list when he was 40.

“Hi Gramma! I Made You a Lamp!”

“Gramma, I know that you and Grampa escaped the old country without shoes, but capitalism is evil, so I made you a lamp to show you how wrong you were to leave.” –Overheard at Zuccotti Park September 2012.

Saturday Matinee redux – Manual Silo Demolition, Kenny Wayne Shepherd & Joe Cocker

I was distracted yesterday by stuff in meatworld, so this Edition of The Saturday Matinee is a tad late. I promise that it’ll happen again.

This is a jawdropper. They wanted to demolish a masonry silo, yet save the roof  “for the kids.” Rather than using explosives, they used sledgehammers. Watch the whole thing for the commentary, or jump to about 09:00 for the awesome.
[Short cutesy version found here.]

Kenny Wayne Shepherd, with some interesting sidemen. Soylent Green has the scoop. [Caution – some of his posts are NSFK & NSFW, which is unfortunate IMO. He’s got good stuff otherwise.]

Joe Cocker‘s cover of the Lovin’ Spoonful‘s 1966 hit “Summer In The City” is a good ‘un, and fitting, too. It’s so hot here the dog melted.

To our fans (especially the one that runs all night in the bedroom): Please don’t burn up your motor and quit on us until the temperatures cool off a bit. As for the rest of you, see you back here tomorrow.

Saturday Matinee – Techneural Difficulties

Due to unforeseen circumcisions this post is temporarily on hold. We shall expectorate a full post shortly. Please be petulant.

September 2012 Attacks on US Embassies

Anyone may steal and repost that image. Original found here.

These are the same types who claimed that “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” was blasphemy and worth killing people for it. Nevermind that images of Mohammed have been painted and reproduced for centuries.  Every one of those little blue assholes on the map should be targets, IMO, and they probably are already.

Do I really have to add a caveat that innocent non-combatants be saved?  Yeah, I do, because I don’t believe that all Muslims are extremists, never have. Can’t defend the Wahabbist assholes, though.

Carry on.

Updated comment from the source:

“I see this and I think, cripes, man, have you seen even PART of that ridiculous shitty thing?  It’s all blackface and offensive mostly because it is so poorly done, designed to offend, like a joke that is all punchline and no build-up.   To be offended by that piece of shit is an offense to me. […] C’mon, Arab World, riot over some shit that matters.”

Did you spot that […]?  That’s where the commenter went scooters and blamed GWB. Otherwise I agree with him.

UPDATE 9:00PM 15 September 2012:  I don’t care how stupid, ignorant or deranged someone is, but this ain’t right. The guy has a Constitutional First Amendment Right and was arrested FOR EXPRESSING HIS OWN OPINION.

Folks, this is very wrong, and very disturbing.
