Christmas Shopping – Something for Everyone

I’d love to see her gift list.  I just hope they fit.

This picture reminds me of a classic Steve Goodman song, cowritten with Shel Silverstein: “3-Legged Man.”

Another Great Gift Idea: LORBO

Skuuvuunuum LORBO indeed. If this doesn’t make you want to see Avatar, nothing will.

Saturday Matinee – B_ETWE_EN, Maccabees, Bunkface, Ronettes

B ETWE EN. Very odd, reminds me of David Lynch’s Eraserhead. Click on the image, hit full screen, and meet me back here.

The Maccabees put a video of the winner of the 2007 Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling to music. Who woulda guessed. (Bunkarina suggested this one.)

So just for the heck of it, I click the Utoobage and start typing b, u, n, k… and up pops  Bunkface.  (I’ve been called worse.)

You’d not believe how difficult it is to come up with the correct video links  for rain.  “Rain Rain Rain” doesn’t even come up on the search mojo;  The Videos’ “Trickle Trickle” is a no show also. Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow held possibilities. Or I could link to It’s a Beautiful Day’s self-indulgent  “White Bird (in a golden cage in the rain).”  Ugh. I couldn’t bring myself to post a Melanie vid either, so while I’m hunting, try this.

The Ronettes’ “Walking in the Rain” is THE best rain song ever.

Awesome Clock is Awesome.

I assume that it chimes on the hour with the BunkkiddaBunkkiddaBunk of an idling 1942 Harley-Davidson.

Sea Puppies

“The zebrafish, or zebra danio, is a tropical fresh-water fish not only popular in aquariums around the world, but in research tanks as well. Danio rerio plays an important role in teaching us more about evolution. These two-day old larvae will turn into adult fish in three months. Scientists have found that zebrafish have the ability to regenerate fins, skins, the heart and the brain during the larval stages.”

500,000!

Shortly after 1AM this morning, PST,  Tacky Raccoons received our 500,000th visitor with open arms, confetti, little cheap plastic tooty horns, whatever was left in the fridge, and the promise of complete anonymity. Thanks, Mystery Vistor!

Happy Boys

Out on bail and home for the holidays. And one of them is drug free, at least for a couple of hours.
