These nice oddities were scrounged from a .gif link dump. Regarding credits, see last week’s .gif post (the poll is still open).

Comparitive Studies of 18th Century Romanticism
Oh yeah, like I remember that mandatory 7AM class. Wait! It’s HAPPY BEAR ERASER! COOL!

Happy Tanks
Honestly, I’d like to meet the people that painted these, just not all at once, and the first commenter who makes The Obvious Lame Pun can eat my shorts.

Life Choices: Seahorses or a Monkey?
“Hey Dad! I got a dollar! Can I borrow $19?”
It’s all in the advertising. Note that the $1 seahorses are not “Darling Pet Seahorses” (never mind that the ones in the picture are kinda dead and dessicated, and that just about anywhere in the world one can dig up sea shells hundreds of miles inland)…
But monkeys!
My dad knew that seahorses wouldn’t crap all over the house, wouldn’t get into the cupboard in the middle of the night to get at the strawberry preserves by dropping the jar on the tile floor, and wouldn’t attack your face when you looked them in the eye. Dad was wise beyond his years.
“So can I get the seahorses?”
“No.”

Saturday Matinee – Diesel Brown Skaggs Pops & Perkins
Diesel speaks about work, kids, farming, mafia, pirates. The Anti-Boxxy.
Alison Brown has got to be one of the best banjo pickers I’ve ever heard. Very few can play like this without the comfort of studio editing.
Here’s Ricky Skaggs on mandolin, 7 years old, with Bill Monroe, the Father of Bluegrass.
Here’s Ricky Skaggs’ classic “Highway 40 Blues” with the seminal bluegrass backup band, the Boston Pops.
Carl Perkins was one cool rockabilly cat. He’s got an interesting back up band in this video… too hot to handle and too cold to hold.
The .gif Friday Post No. 80 – Sports?
Folks– We’ve been posting .gif animations every Friday, and although we’d prefer to give credit, the majority (but not all) of the .gif’s we post are pilfered from a handful of collection sites that give no credit to the original authors. So here’s a poll. Lemme know what you think. –Bunk
[Update 21 May 2009 – When we post images and .gif animations like these, TR usually (but not always) renames and saves them in this format:
Boogedyboogedy_websitefoundat 090521.extention
Name of the image, followed by the name of the site, followed by the date that our crack team of webminers found it, in the format of yr/mo/day, followed by .jpg, gif, etc. This allows us to archive unpublished images and to credit the sources later. It’s a sloppy but honest way to do it.
To find the hidden sources, all you need to do is hover your cursor over them. Rock on. –Bunk]
Foggy Mountain Ladyland
It all makes sense now, considering Jimbo Hendrix’ love of the ‘grass and his discography:
Hey Bud
Purple Hayes (tribute to Woody)
All Along the Wheat Flour
Breakdown Traffic
MooMoo Child
Stone Fence
Fox-N-Ladle
The Wind Cries Opal
(Many more classics were showcased at the Monterrey International Harvester Festival in 1970.)
Aside from Jimbo, The GrooveGrass Boyz mixed some Grand Ole Opry standards with funk, with Bootsy Collins on bass. Really.
