The .Gif Friday Post No. 788 – Slidercat, Acidente no Brasil & The Land Nemo

Found here and here. Cat slide h/t Rightymouse.

The motorbike accident happened 06 July 2022 on Camenite de Cachoeiras de Macacu, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – he survived with no serious injuries.. Commenters on this video blame both the woman AND the cyclist; she for opening her car door without looking, and the cyclist for passing on the wrong side of the concrete truck.

THE Family Photo

“My great-grandmother worked for a photography studio in the 80’s. She was watching us one day and decided to surprise my mother with professional photos of the three of us. This gem was one of the pictures. It’s safe to say that my mother never put this one in a photo frame and it’s the center of family laughter when we bring out the photo albums around the holidays. I love how my sisters look so cute in the corner of the photo while I am in a food coma floating in the sky.”

THE perfect office desk family photo.

“What seems to be the officer, problem?”

Oh My Lover, The Chiffons (1963) “Throughout rock and roll history, vocal groups have spent entire careers in search of hit bound melodies and captivating lyrics. In the reverse of that equation, the Chiffons garnered their greatest success because a hit song was in search of a group.” That song was not it. Their cover of Tonight’s The Night was.
