Who’s that good lookin’ kid in Row C Column 1? He liked the good lookin’ girl at C8. Her name was Karla. That same year my family moved to a different school district.
I still remember some of the kids in that picture, even though I don’t remember their names. A9 was funny. A5, B7 & D3 were trouble makers. C1, D1, and a couple of others got detentions the first day of school for having too much fun. True. We had a blast and thought we were being rewarded.
My mom was pissed because nobody called from the school to tell her that Bunky had been detained. She thought I’d drowned in the creek.
Several years later I recognized Karla sitting next to me in Literature Class. She’d transferred into my High School in our senior year, and was a jaw-dropping knockout. I could barely stutter out my name, but she said she remembered me. She said C3 grew up to be a complete rumpswab.
Any of you recobanize your photo?

Saturday Matinee – Alfred, Iggy, Tom, Billy & the Beat Farmers
Posted this one before, but it’s one of my favorites, featuring Iggy Pop & Tom Waits.
Very pretty song by Billy Paul about adultery. I doubt he would have gotten a hit singing about Mr. Jones, but we’re not gonna go there. Mr. Jones was pissed enough.
The Beat Farmers are still around, and we’re going to be around for a while as well. Have a great weekend, see you tomorrow.

Michael Jackson’s 1993 Patent is cool, but he likely got the idea from this guy.

Nothing but Plague Doctors. Prior to medical/scientific knowledge about the causes of The Black Death, Plague Doctors risked their lives attempting to treat the infected while trying to protect themselves from the “miasma.” The very sight of a Plague Doctor terrified people as he was a harbinger of death, and due to his specialty, a Plague Doctor was often forced to be a recluse himself.
I missed the debut of the The Butter Dance, but inadvertently featured it here. Don’t try this at home, or anywhere for that matter. After all *ahem* Melati Suryodarmo is a professional. [h/t kdub]
