Not only was our daughter Bunkarina awarded a Black Belt, she’s been bestowed the title of Sensei. That means that she still has to clean up her room, but only when she wants to.

Nice card trick… heh. Story behind it here.
Goose! Guy shoulda wrung its neck and brought the catch home. Yum!
And after you clean it, save the goose grease.
The late Roy Buchanan tells why.
The Beat Farmers‘ “Glad ‘N Greasy” fits. Poor video from the early 80s(?) was part of a demo tape they circulated. (Two of the original members are gone: Country Dick Montana and Buddy Blue.)
The Bryan Beller Band‘s “Greasy Wheel” is a nice bit of groovy oddness. (Listen for the Zappa influence… there’s a reason for that.)
That’s five vids to make the set. Have a great weekend, folks, and we’ll see you back here tomorrow.

MEN will be invited from the audience to protect those under the Influence of the Gas from injuring themselves or others. This course is adopted that no apprehension of danger may be entertained. Probably no one will attempt to fight.
That description is followed by:
THE EFFECT OF THE GAS is to make those who inhale it, either LAUGH, SING, DANCE, SPEAK OR FIGHT, &, &.
Everyone wants to suck it up.
Those who inhale the Gas once, are always anxious to inhale it a second time. There is not an exception to this rule.
Lot’s ‘o fun to be had in 1845 – N2O is a gas gas gas.
Farm animals don’t stray far here, and rustling’s not a problem, but getting them to market is. [Found here. Updated post with link.]
Home movies – the Directors’ analysis.
Very cold water is very dense. Fishing in a frozen lake in Finland. Here’s an explanation [via]:
They have inflated their BCDs (vests) with air. This will make them float up to the ‘top’. This allows them to stand on the ice upside down. If there was no ice, they would surface. You can see when they breathe, the CO2 will float to the top (bottom) of the ice and it trapped. The wheel barrow is filled with CO2 expelled (poured in from the bucket). This makes it want to float too and hence will stick to the bottom of the ice until they dump it out, which will make it loose its buoyancy and sink to the bottom…
Happy birthday to Kim Wilson, one of the greatest blues harp blowers. Saw him with his original lineup in the early 80’s, pre- Kid Ramos. Pure awesome then, pure awesome now. And just for the helluvit, here’ my favorite Zappa song to wrap it all up, “Black Napkins.”
Yeah, I may have posted that before, but so what – I like it. Have a great weekend, folks, be back here tomorrow for more fun and games.

Elvis the crocodile attacks a lawnmower at the Australian Reptile Park in Gosford, north of Sydney, in this still image taken from video December 28, 2011. Two workers at a reptile park near Sydney ran for their lives on Wednesday when a 500 kg crocodile named Elvis suddenly lunged at them, making off with their lawnmower.
That’s 1,100 lbs. of lurking, lunging lizard, lunching. According to Wiki, the top speed for an Australian freshwater croc is about 11mph, easily outrun, unless you happen to mowing grass next to its territory, so don’t do it.
