The .Gif Friday Post No.82 – FAIL, FAIL, YEA WIN!
Saturday Matinee – Funny Dude, A Capella, Slugs, and PF Live
Lotta truisms there; video found in Archie’s Archives.
Don’t know who these folks are, but “Oh Gee” was a hit in 1955 by the Crows. Could be them.
The Persuasions were/are possibly the most underrated acapella group (featuring bass singer Jimmy Hayes, who Frank Zappa called “the human sub-woofer”).
(This group was featured here before, but unfortunately the videos were yanked by Utoob for seventy mental reasons.)
This is an old one from the Beeb, narrated by David Attenborough. It’s cool, bizarre and gross at the same time, but it’s nature. I posted it just because Thelit said her kids and their friends love this kinda stuff. Go for it.
After the Slugs (wasn’t that a Grateful Dead tune, or maybe a Peter Sellars movie?) this may help clean your eye sockets. Other than the dopey devilpigs, it’s all cool.

The .gif Friday Post No. 80 – Sports?
Folks– We’ve been posting .gif animations every Friday, and although we’d prefer to give credit, the majority (but not all) of the .gif’s we post are pilfered from a handful of collection sites that give no credit to the original authors. So here’s a poll. Lemme know what you think. –Bunk
[Update 21 May 2009 – When we post images and .gif animations like these, TR usually (but not always) renames and saves them in this format:
Boogedyboogedy_websitefoundat 090521.extention
Name of the image, followed by the name of the site, followed by the date that our crack team of webminers found it, in the format of yr/mo/day, followed by .jpg, gif, etc. This allows us to archive unpublished images and to credit the sources later. It’s a sloppy but honest way to do it.
To find the hidden sources, all you need to do is hover your cursor over them. Rock on. –Bunk]
Foggy Mountain Ladyland
It all makes sense now, considering Jimbo Hendrix’ love of the ‘grass and his discography:
Hey Bud
Purple Hayes (tribute to Woody)
All Along the Wheat Flour
Breakdown Traffic
MooMoo Child
Stone Fence
Fox-N-Ladle
The Wind Cries Opal
(Many more classics were showcased at the Monterrey International Harvester Festival in 1970.)
Aside from Jimbo, The GrooveGrass Boyz mixed some Grand Ole Opry standards with funk, with Bootsy Collins on bass. Really.
