Saturday Matinee – Art Laffer, Bladecam, Polar Bearings, Mancini Mangling, Hubert Sumlin
Economist Art Laffer in a video from June 2009. Amazing how few people have seen this private chat. It’s well worth viewing. (Although Jeff Berkowitz’ intro is good, it’s long. The fun starts at 05:20 with WSJ’s Steve Moore’s intro. Laffer begins at 07:40.)
Yep. Already viral, but so what. [Found here.]
Very cool polar bears destroy some very cool spy cams.
Doesn’t make any sense to me to have high-tech spy cams when the ecologists obviously have the capability of filming the bears destroying the custom expensive equipment in the first place. Cut the research budget in half or more by giving the bears boxes to tear up. Better yet, just quit pestering them. A polar bear’s job is to hunt, kill and eat fish, seals, sea lions, etc., and not to waste precious energy messing with electronics. [via]
Funny, creepy and disturbing.
Ever hear of Hubert Sumlin? No? Then check this out.
From the Utoobage comments:
Before there was Jimmy Page, before there was Angus Young, before there was Jimi Hendrix, before there was Stevie Ray Vaughn…
…there was Hubert Sumlin.
Have a great weekend, folks. See you back here tomorrow.
The Alpacas Are Sprouting
With all the recent rains here, our spring alpacas are already poking their heads up through the southwestern tundra. Very endurable and self-fertilizing, alpacas are the new cash crop. It’s too late to plant this season, but plow them in around late March to early May and you’ll be glad you did.

Applesauce
Too bad I didn’t post this earlier, coulda saved everyone a bunch of trouble. Besides applesauce, this practical contrivance also works for mashed potatoes and tomato puree. Pure efficient genius.

Andy Boy’s Contribution To The World
Andy Boy was a major manufacturer of broccoli in the 1960s. Unfortunately one strain was inedible, so Mr. Boy, always the innovator, turned it into one of the most popular hairstyles ever.
Subsequently Andy re-engineered the vegetable and they have a booming business today.

PEZ’s Contribution To The World
These are reproductions of one of the rarest PEZ candy dispensers. I should know… I had one of the 1968 “Luv” originals, and it’s somewhere in the basement of a house in Ohio. It looks like this:
I don’t remember ever refilling it with the little brick-shaped candies, but I disassembled and reassembled it at least once when I was bored.

Once A Ramone Always A Ramone
As drummer for the seminal punk band The Ramones, surviving member Marky Ramone is enhancing his portfolio by marketing Marky Sauce. It’s the loudest, fastest and most awesome pasta sauce you’ll ever see in your lifetime. Gabba freakin’ Hey!
