[Found here, here, and here.]

Shinemobile Babe Magnet

Babe Magnet? Oh yeah. With beads and braids. One minor criticism. This would be an awesome sled if only the driver’s seat were at the other end.

The Original Version Was Better

Don Knotts’ cameo as the renegade chopper pilot was hilarious.

The .Gif Friday Post No. 211 – iWalkers, Floor Girl & Cat Psych

[Found here and here. I modified the “Walking i” that I found here, and I reversed and patched the cats. I tried to synch the Floor Girl with the the Walking i animations, but no dice.]

Oop Stairs

Some of these designer stairways are criminally dangerous. But hey, at least you can admire the aesthetics as you fall and break your neck. [Via email from Sir Cumference.]

Grandma’s Snakes

Pinkard & Bowden’s “Everybody Shake A Snake” seems irreverently fitting, and they’re both going to h-e-double-hockey sticks for it.

Saturday Matinee – Geek Magic, Mad Goose, Goose Grease, Glad ‘N Greasy & Greasy Wheel

Nice card trick… heh. Story behind it here.

Goose! Guy shoulda wrung its neck and brought the catch home. Yum!

And after you clean it, save the goose grease.
The late Roy Buchanan tells why.

The Beat Farmers‘ “Glad ‘N Greasy” fits. Poor video from the early 80s(?) was part of a demo tape they circulated. (Two of the original members are gone: Country Dick Montana and Buddy Blue.)

The Bryan Beller Band‘s “Greasy Wheel” is a nice bit of groovy oddness. (Listen for the Zappa influence… there’s a reason for that.)

That’s five vids to make the set.  Have a great weekend, folks, and we’ll see you back here tomorrow.

Lap Dog

Retrievers love the water. [Found here.]
