Wall Street Anti-Capitalism Protester FAIL
How much capitalism can an anti-capitalist use in one photo? Capitalism sucks!! Umm, except Facebook. And Diet Snapple. Toshiba laptops. Trendy bikes. Bottled water…

Saturday Matinee – The Charts, The Pyramids, The Belmonts, The Mills Brothers & Zappa
To all readers of Tacky Raccoons who have Utoobage accounts:
Please capture and repost these. They’ve been blocked and vaporized before, but they should be available to everyone, if only because they’re so entirely awesome.
“Dance Girl” by The Charts, who earn the award for Best Non-Rock-Band-Name in the business. (Not to be confused with “Dance Girl,” a song recorded by Norman Fox & The Rob Roys, which is an entirely different awesome song.)
The Pyramids’ 1958 hit “Hot Dog Dooly Wah” is a favorite around here.
Dion DiMucci trashed a slut and everyone heard.
The Mills Brothers‘ “Till Then” is a classic.
Zappa’s Black Napkins.
And with that, I’m outta here. Have a great weekend, folks.

Odd Stuff from Long Ago
Don’t even ask what this is all about. Long story, but they’re all my doodles. The first person who asks about the orange slippers and how they suddenly appeared gets banned from this site for being a smartass.

Private First Class Hannibal Shirley Dobbs
- The end of the Civil War was near
- When quite accidentally,
- A hero who sneezed, abruptly seized
- Retreat and reversed it to victory!
- His Medal of Honor pleased and thrilled
- His proud little family group;
- While pinning it on, some blood was spilled
- And so it was planned he’d command… F TROOP!
-
- Where Indian fights are colorful sights
- And nobody takes a lickin’,
- Where paleface and redskin
- Both turn chicken!
- When drilling and fighting get them down
- They know their morale can’t droop
- As long as they all relax in town
- Before they resume with a bang and a boom… F TROOP!

Saturday Matinee – Personal Hygiene, Leave It To Beaver, Ramones, DC5, MGMT
Let’s get this one out of the way first. State of the art physics demonstration explores and remedies a common benign malady known as “poop splash.” [via].
Leave It To Beaver Beaver Beaver…
The Ramones’ “She’s The One.” Great stuff. I never understood why they never had a top 40 hit.
The Dave Clark Five‘s 1964 cover of The Contours‘ classic “Do You Love Me” is almost better than the original. (Note that I said “almost.”)
Yeah. I miss it, too.
That makes five, and with that we’re out. Have a great weekend, folks.
