Ringing In The New Hotlinks
If truth bothers you, don’t watch this.
Mouse trap design from pre-1590AD works.
Rediscovered this cool video of a Murmeration.
Nice collection of sailing songs links and inks.
To alpacas, hedgehogs seem like mysterious beings full of mystery and wonder.
Parking para perros [via]. It’s a clever idea for people who ride their dogs around town, but who knows if the dogs like it.
Breaking news / bombshell / tipping point / the walls are closing in / the beginning of the end. They’re called Talking Heads for a reason.
This attractive young woman took a DNA test and found that she has mostly European ancestry, and she’s upset about it. Perhaps it’s a hoax advert?
Recent E-Mail convo went kinda like this:
“Give me a precise number.”
“I can’t do that for liability reasons.”
“All I want is a general range.”
“Here you go.”
“Ha ha. No, I mean a ballpark figure.”
“Here you go.”
“I meant average.”
“Here you go.”
“Bite me.”
Bunkessa signed up her uncle for “Dip Of The Month Club” as a Christmas present.
I guess that means that on the first of every month some new goober is going to show up at his door. “Hiya! Here I am! Where’s your refrigerator? Can I use your phone? I need to borrow your car for a few days. Can we watch ‘The Brady Bunch?’ Oops! I hope that don’t stain your carpet.” etc.
On the other hand, maybe it has to do with Skoal…
BTW – According to this informal poll, “The Little Drummer Boy” is tied with “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer” for the No.1 Christmas song you could live without.
Saturday Matinee – Aluminum & Mercury Amalgamation, Capybara Soul & Leon Redbone
Okay. I’m impressed. The timelapse is killer.
Eddie Murphy‘s James Brown‘s Capybara Hot Tub is awesome [via].
Everybody needs some Leon once in a while, so there you go.
Have a great holiday weekend, folks, see y’all back here tomorrow.
The .Gif Friday Post No. 565 – PeePal Pup
Man says to the dog, “I once had a dog so stupid he lifted both legs to pee.”
Dog says to the man, “Hold my beer.”
[Original .Gif found here. Yeah, I usually post three, but that one stands on its own.]
Another Great Gift Idea: Finger Tentacles
Wednesday, 26 December 2018, is the biggest travel day of the year according to AAA.

Holiday Fun: Cat Poop Cookies.
From the ICYMI Department:
Porch Package Theft Payback is brilliant.
The Best Christmas Song Collection ever IMO.
If that’s not The Best Christmas Song Collection ever, THIS IS.
It’s not officially Christmas until I hear this version of Leroy Anderson’s 1946 classic.
From the Fun Facts To Know And Tell Department:
The song “Christmas Is My Time Of Year” was originally recorded in 1968 by the one-off supergroup “The Christmas Spirit” which included members of The Turtles (including Flo & Eddie), The Byrds and Linda Ronstadt. In 1976, an even sappier version was recorded and released by We Three Monkees.
[Top Image: I want to believe that’s a gourd. I really do, but it creeps me right out. These Christmas Tchotckes are very nicely done, but they would have given me nightmares when I was little [via].]
Saturday Matinee – The Tractors, George Thorogood & The Destroyers, Blaze Bayley w/ Michelle Sciarrotta & The United States Navy Band
