I Married a Hot Links

Whips and boots and red jumpsuits. These are a few of my favorite thoots.

Savants, an amazing collection of stories and videos found at Neatorama.

Click on the ball and it changes color. Really. (from Phil).

Babble + Google = Gabble.  In Google’s “Search Images,” type in letters/numbers at random until you end up with just one image that matches your search. Send us your best, and we’ll include them in a future post. [Paste these and see what you find, then find your own:  rpfdfa;  ptqdeh;  ktsaxz.]

Google Minus Google.

Infinity + 1 = Infinity; so Infinity – 1 = Infinity also; then
Infinity + 1 = Infinity – 1;  Therefore, +1 = – 1.

Here’s proof that you can’t Google Chuck Norris.

Saturday Matinee: Frank, Ricky, Steve, Vassar & Dickey

Jim Woodring‘s work is a few steps beyond Advanced Tublication; his “Frank” series combines 1930’s cartooning with fever-inspired nightmares. You gotta check out “The Book of Jim.” Woodring’s an excellent (if not mildly disturbed) illustrator.

The only way (in Bunk’s amateur opinion) that he could pull this off is with a stacked 2-way stripper deck, some false shuffles, false cuts, a few flourishes, and great slight-of-hand. Ricky Jay is probably The Best card manipulator in the business. [Found via Edenborough.]

Although he and John Prine wrote the The Perfect Country Western Song, the late Steve Goodman’s greatest hit was “City of New Orleans.”

Whoop!  Just found Vassar Clements and Dickie Betts on one video! Here ya go, folks.  C’mon back tomorrow for more fun!

WWI Carrier Hummingbird

EatSleepDraw is Beyond the Valley of Cool and verges into the Land of Advanced Tublication, in Bunk’s opinion.  Excellent compilation of amateur works of all levels.

Bunk’s Money Saving Tips: ORIGAMI

Make your US Dollars worth much more than a Euro with these simple patterns.  (Clicky on each image for more bigossifyingness.)

I don’t know the original source for these.  They were emailed to me by friend Dan S, a civil engineer who had a lemon-sized tumor taken out of his noggin after he went under the knife for surgery a coupla years ago for a late-blooming congenital heart defect.  True story, and he’s okay now.

Saturday Matinee: Bears

Proof that the news media is biased.  Forget the pier! I wanna know more about the bear!
[From SPLHCS.]

“Stupid dopey trash-rap a-comin’, comin’ up. Whoa.
Guy in a bear suit, with rappin’ comin’ up. Whoa.
Patient wit da video, be patient comin’ up. Whoa.
Babe Magnet, bear suit, all be comin’ up. Whoa.”

[Lyrics from “In’ Up-Whoa” by MC Daddy BS, Strutts Music 2008.]

Actually SoulJah Bear is kinda funny to me, especially with the video editor’s comments.  Kinda almost cool, just like The Howlies.  Here’s SoulJah Bear’s obvious inspiration:

Bunky remembers Dancing Bear in black and white.  Bunky really liked Captain Kangaroo.  Bunky really didn’t like Scary Dancing Bear.

“Pachuca Sunrise,” Minus the Bear.

Daughter Bunkessa heard this song as “I Come From a Land of Hunger.” It’s got a bear in it, too.

One year anniversary for SPLHCS!

FinPeng started up his online oddness a year ago today with “Sgt. Peppers’ Lonely Hearts Club Soda.” Go give him a “howdy” and a beer, here.  While you’re at it,  check out his new site, “The Awesome Squad.” That’s where FinPeng, I and several others will buy YOU a beer… as long as you behave yourself.
