The .Gif Friday Post No. 788 – Slidercat, Acidente no Brasil & The Land Nemo

Found here and here. Cat slide h/t Rightymouse.

The motorbike accident happened 06 July 2022 on Camenite de Cachoeiras de Macacu, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – he survived with no serious injuries.. Commenters on this video blame both the woman AND the cyclist; she for opening her car door without looking, and the cyclist for passing on the wrong side of the concrete truck.

THE Family Photo

“My great-grandmother worked for a photography studio in the 80’s. She was watching us one day and decided to surprise my mother with professional photos of the three of us. This gem was one of the pictures. It’s safe to say that my mother never put this one in a photo frame and it’s the center of family laughter when we bring out the photo albums around the holidays. I love how my sisters look so cute in the corner of the photo while I am in a food coma floating in the sky.”

THE perfect office desk family photo.

Saturday Matinee – Ren Gill, Mocca Garden & Laid Back Country Picker

Ren Gill is a Welsh musician / performance artist who tells heavy (and often dark) stories in his songs and videos.

I was about to categorize him as merely a talented multi-media character actor until I read his horrific story in the Daily Mail. In 2009 he woke up severely ill with what he described as the worst hangover he’d ever had, but it didn’t go away. After years of misdiagnoses that included physical and psychological treatments, specialists eventually identified the culprit as chronic Lyme Disease in 2016.

Mocca Garden is a ska / reggae band from Thailand. Can’t find much about them, but this (translated) page explains what to wear to their shows.

Laid Back Country Picker (LBCP) is guitar slinger LB, Honey Bun on drums, and that’s about all anybody really needs to know.

Have a great weekend folks and we’ll deal with the balloons tomorrow.

Sidecar

“Ma’am do you know why I pulled you over?”
“What seems to be the officer, problem?”
“Stop resisting, ma’am.”
And that’s why it’s called a Ford Escape.
Which album cover is this?
