Saturday Matinee – Government, Milk, Rainstorm, Phones & Violent Love

[Before we start our Saturday Feature Presentation, we found a great concise description that compares different types of government, with historical examples.  Folks, please take 10 minutes to  WATCH THIS, and then pass it on.]

We now resume our regular programming schedule.

Funny milk adverts [Found via Presurfer].

Turn up the sound. The first 1-1/2 minutes is VERY cool:  Rainstorm.

Dem Phones. Really. [Found here.]

Ingrid Lucia & the Flying Neutrinos have an excellent version of Willie Dixon‘s “Violent Love,” with a Billie Holiday groove. Too bad there’s not a live video.

1983 saw OingoBoingo at it’s peak, with a ska version of  “Violent Love.”  Bunk sat at a table next to them at Madam Wong’s without knowing who they were. Then they got on stage and cranked.  (Oh, yeah, if you didn’t know, the lead singer is Danny Elfman.  Yep. That Danny Elfman.)

If I saw a sky like this, I’d tell Mrs. Strutts and the kids to get in the car as quietly as possible.  Then we’d drive for a few weeks.

[Update: Those clouds are called undulatus asperatus – rough and wavy in Latin. More info here.]

Let’s Play Bridge!

All I can say is that there better be a cold beer and something REALLY important on the other side.

Bridge3

Bridge2

Bridge

The last two are more disturbing in that there are failed bridges, built the same way, adjacent to the intact ones.  (Again, there better be something really cool on the other side, otherwise I’m gonna get all  humpy and stuff.)

Most armpit farts in 30 seconds, viewable at the Universal Record Data Base.

Very cool algorithm experiments to mess with, like this one. [Found via The Presurfer.]

Great blog title with an excellent banner:  Sergio Leone and the Infield Fly Rule.

Root boot, walk like Ent. Can’t describe it any other way.

I wonder what they were playing. CD Players in Space.

Bad eggs.  Here.

Can’t embed LiveLeak on WP, so here’s a link.

Got a small flock of blackbirds that show up once a year to snag the catfood on the patio.  Recognized GimpyBird from last year; he’s got a club foot. Not being a “birder” I found this excellent site to identify the little bastards.

Amy Oops has a new live chat widget on her site. Go here to talk trash about her (or me, as I guest post). When I visited on Thursday, she was spending her day off killing zombies.  The bad kind.

Here’s the Best Zombie Site. (Some NSFW, most NSFK.)

THIS IS PASTAAAA!

Saturday Matinee – Bruce, TXT, Robin, John Lee, and Elevators

Bruce Lee plays pingpong with nunchuck.  Awesome.

TXT Island, found at ZanyPickle.

Okay.  Back to the basics.  Here’s Robin Trower‘s “Too Rolling Stoned” from 1975.  There was a blues revival going on back then, but it was overshadowed by theatrical rock.

I was gonna jump to George Thorogood‘s classic cover of “One Bourbon…” but thought I’d look for John Lee Hooker‘s original. Found several on the Utoobage, until this jumped up:  “Hobo Blues” from 1965.  Judging by his odd fingerings, he’s got his guitar tuned to Dmajor, but that’s just a guess. (Hooker always looked to me like he’d been popped in both eyes during a bar fight.)

Since Friday the Thirteenth comes on a Saturday this month, here’s The 13th Floor Elevators, 1966.

This takes talent.  Unfortunately, she’ll never be able to duplicate that move.

All in the timing.

Let’s see, I’m too safe here. I think I better move.

This guy’s cheated death so many times it doesn’t phase him anymore.
