Looks like trash from this angle. BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE!
This is just WAY too awesome to criticize.

Kent State Day – 4 May 1970
Many sequential decisions and errors in judgment resulted in the deaths of Four Innocents, yet few condemn the true perpetrators.
After reviewing many videos posted on the utoobage about the event, I’ve come to the conclusion that there is a lot of fabrication going on in the “information age,” just as there was in 1970 with the campus infiltrators. One pathetic moron even posted a video that claims the atrocity happened in April 1970.
History teaches valuable lessons, but rewriting history and exploiting the deaths of The Innocents to push a political agenda is truly despicable.

A Nice Country Village by the Sea
Some day, when my kids are grown and on their own, and I’m looking for a place to retire with the lovely and gracious Mrs. Strutts, I’d like a nice country village in a temperate climate, maybe near the ocean. A place to let the world pass by without traffic, without paved roads, without telemarketers.
A place I could do whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted; stay up late and sleep in as long as I liked. And blog via satellite.
Maybe set up a little bed and breakfast stop for tourists and travellers, with a wine and cheese shop with tacky homemade postcards and hand-screened purple t-shirts. Maybe a place like this. Or not. Click here, or click the top image, then zoom out.

Saturday Matinee – Uke Covers! Yay!
Excellent version of The Foundations’ “Build Me Up Buttercup.” You know she’s singing to YOU… wait for it. (Bunkessa found this one.)
Well, gabba gabba hey.
*Jake Shimabukuro’s Ukelele Gently Weeps.
*Led Zep on Uke with eggs and sausage and hot coffee.
*Minitallica!
Don’t forget the trainwreck previously posted here.
Videos marked with (*) were recobamended by saraH, who should have her own website by now but doesn’t. She’s been lurking around for a long time, dropping rare occasional comments about batmobile babe magnets.

“The Art of Taxidermy,” 1898, by John Rowley can be found in its entirety here. The text is fascinating. I just might download it so I can repair my jackalope head.
[Another excellent find by Hanuman. Jackalope photo from here. Also, check out our Archive of Contributions to the World.]
She’s got Gary Coleman Eyes.
So that’s what Willis was talkin’ ’bout.

Happy Birthday, Diesel
We first met Mr. D months before we lifted this from Mattress Police. After heated debate about copyright infringement (during which I pointed out his own legal transgressions) we agreed to resolve the matter with my purchase of a copy of “Tales of the Mattress Police.” Cost me my penny jar vs. a long expensive legal procedure, and I think the settlement was fair. Oddly, the tome vanished from sight within days of its arrival at the House of Strutts.
Our revered autographed copy mysteriously reappeared recently, slightly soiled with suspicious creases in the binding, and with the bookmark postcard above stuck in the crack between pages 136 & 137.
Anyone not familiar with Diesel’s work needs to read this classic entry.
Happy Birthday from Bunk and our crack team of webminers here at Tacky Raccoons. Thanks for your advice and encouragement, Rob. Lub you, man.
Sock Puppetry
Last week, VE (of VE’s Fantastical Nonsense) went on vacation, and axed yours truly and several others to serve as Sock Puppets, to post and respond to comments as VE. (Bunk had fun on Earth Day.)
VE returned and fessed up today… in a moment, the rest of the story…
“C’mon! Try it on! Took me a month to make it.”
I think his girlfriend just told him off.
