Summertime, and the Livin’ is Hot Links

Summertime 1936.

“Give her my love.”

My Dog Is An Awsome Dog.

Grampa Strutts had one of these. He had one of these, too.

This came up in conversation recently: My Best Shot. I can’t prove it, but it happened.

Since 1997 it’s been the law, but now it’s a crisis. Check this out, & pay close attention to what Border Patrol Agent Chris Cabrera says.

BADASS: What This British Special Forces Sergeant Did To Six Taliban Terrorists Is Incredible (NSFK).

The ancient engineers of Stonehenge and other neolithic sites apparently used the Pythagorean Theorem (a2+ b2= c2) some 2,000 years before Pythagoras was born. Very cool.

Speaking of Stonehenge, here are 20 things that happened to that happened to other bands in real life.

Saturday Matinee – THE Interview, Pro-Bubbles, The Blues Brothers & Junior Wells with Buddy Guy

I love this interview.

Melody Yang is a Professional Bubbler [via].

Yeah, The Blues Brothers gave it a good cover in 1979, but this one is better. Junior Wells with Buddy Guy at the 1974 Montreux Jazz Festival is nothing less than killer.

Here’s Junior Wells’ original version from 1960.

Have a great weekend, folks, see you back here tomorrow whether you like it or not.

Still Life With Dove

Saw a young dove outside our garage late this afternoon. I think it knows how to fly, it just doesn’t seem to see the importance of it yet.

He/she didn’t seem too bothered by my presence, so I went back inside for my camera. Somehow it managed to make an arrangement of river rocks, a plastic colander and a rubber football in an inverted Rubbermaid trash can lid. I decided to take a pic from another angle, and when I downloaded it I found this:

I pity the cats that mess with this bird.

 

“Hey, Mom. I finally got a girlfriend.”

Totally Blasphemous Hot Links

Oopsies [via].

“Ouch mouse.” lol.

Tear-able Cloth is kinda cool.

“Catch ‘im! Catch ‘im, Daddy!”

This should be an Olympic event.

There are no 1st Amendment Rights in the UK. #FREETOMMYROBINSON.

All you need to know about nephron capillary beds.

THIS woman is a feminist. THIS woman is not a feminist.

The Kit-Cat Klock is 85 years old this year. Yeah, I have one.

Rebecca Black on The Tim Conway Jr. Show. (Don’t remember her? She’s the girl whose 2011 YouTube video went viral.)

Got a notification from WordPress recently – I’m guilty of blasphemy. This innocent post has been censored in Pakistan after The شريعة Internet Police filed a complaint (yet they didn’t have a problem with this one.) Background story here.

Saturday Matinee – Alt Math, Rag’n’Bone Man & Tom Waits

This is scary. The Correct Answer Is 22.

Rag’n’Bone Man‘s cover of the Stones “Gimme Shelter” is killer.

More about that talented Brit via Wiki:

Rag’n’Bone Man’s first hit single, “Human“, was released on Columbia Records in July 2016. It peaked at number one in the Official Singles Charts in Austria, Belgium, Germany, and Switzerland. It was certified Gold in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland.

That’s is an entirely different version and a precursor to the one I’m familiar with:

Tom Waits is amazing.

Have a great weekend, folks, and for Fathers’ Day, buy your Dad a big bacon cheeseburger with fries and a pint of stout. He’ll love it, despite what your Mom says about it causing tumors in rats.

Beethovenfries

Gustav Klimt, Beethovenfries (detail), 1901/02

The theme of the frieze is based on Richard Wagner’s interpretation of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.
