The Squeezit Building
All it’s missing is a giant turquoise squirt of toothpaste.
The Rasin Building, also known as the Dancing House or the Fred and Ginger Building, designed by Frank Gehry in Prague, Czech Republic.
Frank Gehry is an award winning Architect whose firm specializes in designs that resemble wadded up pieces of paper. Not too long ago, such buildings would have been almost impossible to engineer, let alone to construct. With the advent of computer-aided design that can be linked electronically to fabrication software, expensive wadded-up pieces of paper can be made on a large scale.
Hindsight
Cheeky sculpture by Seymore Butz? Looking through the rearview in a two-seater? Booty in the eye of the beholder? See bottoms? When the moon hits your eye? Buttinskis? Crackhead? Eigel Asses?
Don’t be bummed; you won’t be left behind. We’ve got your backside covered.

Happy Mardi Gras!
Possum Yawn
Haven’t seen our ‘possums around here lately, and the slugs and snails are missing, too. Coincidence? Nah.

Saturday Matinee – The Cowans, Fats Waller, Art Tatum, George Clinton & Leon Redbone
Before you get all humpy like this is just a last minute hodge-podge throw-it-together post for the Saturday Matinee, chill. It’s all good, and it’s all connected in an odd sort of way…
September 2008: Fran & Marlow Cowan played an impromptu recital together in the atrium of the Mayo Clinic. The song is Arthur Clough’s “Put On Your Old Grey Bonnet” from 1910.
Fats Waller‘s “Aint Misbehavin'” (1929) was my introduction to early jazz before I knew who Fats Waller was. 1930s Jazz = Best Jazz in my book.
And then Art Tatum ripped it all apart and completely rebuilt the engine.
Gonna jump a few decades to Miles Davis‘ “Tutu.”
George Clinton‘s Mothership! [via Coldwarrior] One more? Heh. You got it.
Yep, Leon Redbone on Carson, playing “Diddy-Wah-Diddy,” which is somehow apropos for Mardi Gras gris gris gumbo yaya.
Have a great weekend folks, and be back here tomorrow for more fun.

Steamboat McGoo says “Adios Amoebas.”
It’s a quiet day in the blogosphere when one of my favorite bloggers decides to call it quits. Steamboat McGoo has already poured acetone on Aardvarks & Asshats and melted all threads prior to January 2011. (A&A was always my first stop after Drudge. Go figger.)
Here’s to you, McGoo. May you continue to piss fire on whatever is in your way. –Bunk
[Update 4 March 2011: A big fat birdy just told me that the site may be changing hands. Film at 11.]
HAAAAAAAAA!
Someone’s enthusiasm is stuck on 11. [Found here]
