Saturday Matinee – Fartin’ Dancin’ Dogs, Howlin’ Wolf, CTA, RLJ,


My dog used to fart, look at me and leave, but of course that’s exactly what I did to him. Dogs are goofy, but they’re not stupid.


TechnoDog is techno.

Howlin’ Wolf, linked from here. He sang HARD.

Wowie zowie. Chicago Transit Authority, live in Japan in 1972 with crappy video gimmicks. Chicago was talented and underrated, but at least they brought horns back into rock and roll.  Later on, they became just another run-of-the-mill sappy woosband. Instead of this excellent jam…

…we ended up with “If you leave me now you’ll leave the very best part of me — oooOOOOhhno, baby please don’t go” garbage. Fuldkommen Gak.


Ricki Lee Jones got me going in the early 80’s with such a sultry sleazy hip coolness. She could have had me cheap. Hell, she could have had me quack. She could have had me, but she threw it all away, and I never looked back.

How to REALLY piss off a golden retriever

That’s step one.  Step two has to do with a slice of bologna.

Yeah, it looks funny, but PLEASE don’t do this to your loyal dog. Don’t do it to the one who’s gonna drag you, your spouse and your children, all unconscious, one-by-one out of your burning house by the collar in the middle of the night in a sleet storm and risk his/her life to to return to the inferno to fetch your wallet and a 6-pack with a quart of Jack.

Do it to your ambivalent anarchist cat who doesn’t care if you burn or not as long as there’s a pile of food somewhere within a quarter mile of the house.

Just don’t do it to the dog.

Hot Links – Cephalopoodle Edition

And then I’ll call Pup Tentacle

Note that we have once again made Google History by being the first to post the term “Cephalopoodle.” It’s right up there with the first mention and commentary about Igde Pshat. Y’all are cordially welcome.

zen haiku:
knock knock knock knock knock
knock knock knock who’s there? Not that
octopus again

From that same link comes this great Zen google translation:
“Neurotic he is already.You can repair the way the octopus laugh : it is like empty.”

Congrats to Hanan of GrowABrain for the new addition to his family unit.

Tribute websites exist for just about everything, including the WWW. Don’t badmouth Artemus Gordon.

Interesting lecture on creativity by Sir Ken Robinson. I don’t agree with everything he espouses, but it’s an entertaining commentary on the public education system.

Given that a circle is comprised of line segments, and that each segment is tangent to the center of that circle, then the simplest circle that one can draw is an equilateral triangle.

Soldier’s Mail came from a comment on this post. Good stuff.

Military Magazine is still a good read. Get a free copy and decide for yourself.

Oh, and BTW, Hobotopia rocks.
