Un poco de esto, un poco de ése
Someone’s about to get pounded, and it’s not the poor soul on the right. He’s got a pocket force field that rebounds with force x 10.
[Anyone know the story of this dealie? Found here.]
Meanwhile, on a brighter note, the esteemed GE Eagle Esq pointed us to a link on the Beeb: Raccoons eating “ice lollies.” Can’t embed that one, but it’s cute.
But the UK’s got nothing on US. Here’s the story from yesterday. A juvy sea lion with an attitude was captured in Newport Beach, California, after attempting to pirate a boat, terrorizing children, and refusing to leave the dock.
The sea lion was captured by the Orange County Sheriff’s Harbor Patrol, maneuvered into the fireboat, but it apparently evaded the crew and took the emergency helm in a last ditch effort to humiliate his human captors. Turned on the sirens, honked the horn, put the vessel in reverse and cranked the throttle to full speed. [Full story here.]
Finally, there’s this, crossposted at Amy Oops:
Lessee, they’ve now got it turned up to 62, 66 & 61 respectively. I had to look at it, so now its you’re turn. Note that the one on the right is also the 5th Baron Haden-Guest, and is still married to Jamie Lee Curtis. [Spinal Tap ReOnion pic from here.]

Saturday Matinee – MJ, Freedom, Rain, Smack, Frankie & Johnny & Satchmo
Okay, let’s get it out of the way. I’m talking Michael Jackson.
Click here and here. Done.
Freedom. Worth fighting for.
Ivan Maximov‘s “Rain Down From Above.” (Found here. For previously posted/linked Maximov animations, click here.)
Set up smackdown [via]. These guys show up in a couple of other videos, so I suspect it was staged. I thought it was funny.
Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers live, 1956, and not lip-synching. (MJ’s dad certainly took notice of Lymon’s talent and success.) Diana Ross’ 1981 version, complete with Frankie’s eye-roll, is here.
This is bizarre. Louis Armstrong and Johnny Cash playing a 1930’s Jimmie Rogers song. The guy who posted this to the Utoobage added this comment:
“I would have never guessed, but Louis Armstrong was a guest on the Johnny Cash Show. This and the story about Satchmo and Jimmie Rogers show how diverse musical tastes these men had and once again that music is a great connector.
This is from episode 38, Oct., 28, 1970 and must be one of Satchmo’s last performances. He was such a great performer right to the end and the Nashville audience and Johnny just loved him.
Louis Armstrong cracks everybody up at the start of the song: ‘Let’s give it to ’em in black and white.'”
Other news. Two folks on our blogroll could use some words of encouragement.
Chiqui had a stroke, and is recuperating, although he’s lost some use of his hands. His english is almost as bad as my spanish, but you might want to leave a comment here. Here’s an alternate link to a (poor) spanish-to-english translation: here.
Crotchety Old Man has some other nasty maladies, but I’m sure he’d like to hear from you, too. Click here to leave a comment.

I want one of these, just to say I have one, and to gloat about it at the next class reunion.
