Saturday Matinee – Snow Removal, Whatever, Dick Montana, Howlin’ Wolf (and giraffes).
Excellent Snow Removal Strategy [Found here.]
Annoying but kinda funny vid by Liam Lynch from 2003 found at AoS. [Ace has a bonus link to a great rebuttal to last Wednesday’s State of the Union speech, by Obama himself.] Whatever.
The Late Great Country Dick Montana and the Beat Farmers’ version of Richard Hell and the Voidoids‘ “Blank Generation.” Got that?
Meet me at the bottom, get me my runnin’ shoes. [Tip o’ the tarboosh to ADAM at Table 9.]
At least one of our readers wants more giraffes, according to last week’s poll, so there you go, bro.
Breaking News: AXE COP!
AXE COP is the most awesome thing we’ve seen on the internest in years.
Imagine Calvin as the author of a comic strip, and this is what you get. Created and written by a 5 year old, his 29 year old cartoonist brother puts it into action in glorious black and white.
Ya gotta read it from the beginning, Episode 1. (Episode 0 comes later.) Unfortunately the website is slow to load, and has some other quirks about it, but it’s worth the time.
Superhero Sockarang is my personal favorite.
He shows up in Episode 5:
“Sockarang came to a try out when Axe Cop was preparing to go on a mission to fight Bad Santa and the Evil Flying Book. Sockarang has socks for arms, and he can shoot them out and they return to him like boomerangs. In his fight with Bad Santa he got some of Bad Santa’s blood on him and he got Bad Santa powers, which he used for good.”

The Doctor is in, but where is Ellie Light?
These are the folks who search for stuff on the internest. These are the same folks who find Tacky Raccoons by searching for stuff on the internest. These are the top 20 search requests over the past year that these folks used to find stuff on Tacky Raccoons. Go figger.

None of this matters, aside from being a curious list, and that I’m honestly surprised that Igde Pshat didn’t show up; not that anyone would google it, or that anyone would search for fuldkommen gak either for that matter. We’ve got bigger ducks to fry. It kinda bothers me that neither phrase showed up in our most-wanted google list.
I’ll get over it. Meanwhile…
The big question today is, Who is Ellie Light?

Saturday Matinee – Freedom, World Climate Control, Flo & Eddie, Neil Young (and A Poll)
Sure it’s simplistic, with the 1949 cartoon stereotypes and all, but that doesn’t make the message wrong. Worth watching.
[Found by danrudy here.]
Koko and Fitz try to change the climate. Fleisher’s “Out of the Inkwell” series was nothing less than bizarre, and this is a good ‘un.
How ’bout some Flo & Eddie. Nobody got the joke, and the Turtles were fairly successful.
Neil Young’s “Powderfinger” was one of my favorites. Never stopped to wonder why.
We don’t do many polls here, but we like to hear from you quiet ones from time to time. There’s no risk, your votes are completely anonymous. Just click as many as you like. Consider it your contribution to the TR Steerage Committee.
We Got Weather!
This waterspout off the Huntington Beach Pier came ashore and flipped an SUV last Wednesday. The pier is about 1/2 mile from my office.
Because they’re laden with water, they’re smaller than tornados that touch down on land, but they’re still magnetically attracted to trailer parks and boat slips.
