A Must See Holiday Movie
This has been sitting around for a while in our What To Do With Box, and although I’m sure I posted it elsewhere, it’s still in my list of top flicks to see.
It’s got everything you want in an action movie: a pretty oriental nurse with a threatening heart-stopping hypodermic needle, cows and albino goats, snow and subtitles. Once I find out where it’s showing, you’ll be the first to know.

Rare Frieda Kahlo Stereograph
This is amazing. If you cross your eyes and focus on the middle image you get an awesome 3D effect of one of the hundreds of Frieda Kahlo’s self portraits.

Another Great Stocking Stuffer
So you’re getting your daughter a Heathkit stereo preamp for Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Other, and you need some ideas for stocking stuffers. Strippers and dykes are always handy for working on electronics, but she’ll flip when she finds a My Little Pony Soldering Gun in her little Doc Martens that were hung by the chimney with care.
Consider it a safety measure, as she’ll no longer have to heat up a piece of bent coat hanger wire over the gas burner with your needle nose pliers in order to solder resistors and diodes, and she can move her projects off of the kitchen counter and into the living room next to the Christmas non-denominational holiday tree. (Don’t forget the fireproofing!)
This holiday gift-giving hint is just one more benefit to all loyal patrons of Tacky Raccoons.
Fireproof Your Christmas Tree
Get the flock out! Forget the danger of little Timmy eating lead “icicles,” this stuff allowed many immigrants to light their Christmas trees in the traditional way — with tallow candles — and without burning their houses down.
I assume that this flocking product was intended to be mixed with water and poured or painted over the boughs of den Weihnachtsbaum. Perfectly safe, as long as the faux snow wasn’t friable, and you kept little Timmy from gnawing the needles.
Ahhh. Those were the days, before they invented lead poisoning, asbestosis, DDT toxicity, alar scares, political correctness and AGW pseudo science.
The .Gif Friday Post No. 154 – Dribbling, Nerf Fake & Battle Clown
Slinky
Pre-Ignosecond
Lessee. A quick review of the photo tells me that these aren’t physics students, and that there is likely beer involved. At least four people thought that this was a good idea, and there’s a fifth one in the background egging them on who looks just like this.

Colonel Sanders – South of the Border
Strider’s got an awesome collection of crappy album covers, but he’s outdone himself. He’s got embedded audio for this gem, and one for the Michelin Man Record, both side by side on the same crappy post! Pure awesome.
Saturday Matinee – Bath Cruise, Justin Wilson’s Gumbo, Mulates, Freddie King & Gatemouth Brown, T-Bone Walker
High speed camera cruise through the Bath England train station [via Miss Cellanea].
The late Justin Wilson was a national treasure, I gar-on-tee. I got ticked off today at a restaurant in Santa Barbara called “The Cajun Kitchen.” I ordered red beans and rice, and got a plateful of pinto bean mud on ricepaste with cornbread. No class.
Cajun music, live from Mulates, Beaux Bridge, Louisiana.
Freddy King and Clarence Gatemouth Brown, together for a little over a minute.
Whoa! Lookee here! T-Bone Walker, live! Dang, I’ll have to give our crack team of webminers a tip for finding this rare gem.
Have a great weekend folks, and be back here tomorrow for more fun.
