Polyptotons, Diacopes, Syllepsis & Hot Links
Any book other than a dictionary that employs the terms Polyptoton, Aposiopesis, Merism, Hyperbaton, Anadiplosis, Diacope, Hendiadys, Epistrophe, Tricolon, Epizeuxis, Syllepsis, Enallage, Zeugma, Chiasmus, Catachresis, Litotes, Metonymy, Pleonasm, Epanalepsis and Scesis Onomaton gets thrown into The Department of Overwhelming Pretentious Verbiage unless it’s written by P.J. O’Rourke. Unfortunately, this one was not, but it could have been [via].
Don’t know about you, but I’m kinda glad the Aztecs are gone.
Cyrus Cylinder is not a rock group.
We posted this before, and we’ll likely post it again: Milton Friedman explains how Capitalism works [via].
Full-time employment is inching up. Maybe.
Cat Eats Dog. You’re on your own with this one. Yeah, it’s safe.
Google “Dog Barf” and you get this – nothing but links to advertisements for canine-gastrointestinal products. No fun at all.

Saturday Matinee – Roy Clark with Buck Trent, The Bros. Landreth & The Reverend Peyton
Roy Clark played a hayseed on the long-running show HeeHaw. He had some serious chops on both guitar and banjo, and Buck Trent was no slouch either. Ignore the title of the vid and the mugging and be amazed.
The Bros. Landreth cranked some serous swamp rock with “Runaway Train” recorded 9 February 2015. Every country band should have a song about a runaway train in my opinion.
“We researched these dangerous Hollywood-style stunts and my best friend Jim Connor volunteered to let me set him on fire inside my house.” –Rev. Peyton.
Have a great weekend folks, and make sure that you eat or drink at least one thing that someone says is bad for you.

Deep Dish Hot Links With All The Toppings
Pineapple on pizza actually works if you use barbecue sauce. Meanwhile, this is amusing.
1969 – Neil Armstrong made pizza.
2012 – Philadelphia was introduced to pizza-flavored ice cream.
The missus just told me about The BBQ Pit Boys, so I went to their website and clicked the “About” link. It’s awesome.
In 1999 there was a protest at La Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México in Mexico city. Students took over an auditorium but when the protest ended a year later, not all of them left the facility and the occupation is ongoing. [More here, with links.]

Saturday Matinee – Retro TV, James Gang & Peter Tosh
I remember some of those shows, and some of them were great.
I remember those guys, and some of their songs were great.
I remember this guy, and he was great.
Very few people could play Chuck Berry and out-do him on one of his own songs, but the late Peter Tosh pulled it off. Anyone ever hear Berry play reggae? Tosh is probably the reason.
Have a great holiday weekend, folks, and remember what it’s all about. More coming up tomorrow.
The .Gif Friday Post No. 491 – Structural Pringles, Hot Pants & Bully Smackdown
I showed the last one to Sensei Bunkessa. She said jump kicks are risky, that your adversary could react and block, which means you’re likely on the ground. Not sure if the vid is legit, or staged for a demonstration video, so any help to verify the source would be appreciated. We’ll give you some awesome credit and splatter it all over the internest.
This is the 491st .Gif Friday Post. That means that there’s over 14K .gif animations in The Archive and even I am amazed.
