Saddened by the loss of his long-time hunting friend Inqui, Suaciq O’Neil mourns in front of a Fuji Kōgaku camera with a 50mm lens using 400+ASA film pushed to 1000, with a manually reduced f-stop that he mentally calculated as being in the realm of either 20/3×0.5, 21/3×0.5, 22/3×0.5, 23/3×0.5, or 24/3×0.5, and with an octopod for stability in the frozen arctic wind.
“Watch out where the huskies go,” he warned.
“He’s got a ’30 Ford Wagon and he’s got nothing to brag about;
Panama City, here we come.” Meanwhile his future wife takes an elbow to the head.

Hint: He’s immortal.
Also he’s traditionally known in the ranks as the FNG.

Since I posted a couple of his videos yesterday, here’s Buddy, in all his hog-ridin’ gut spillin’ awesome glory.
Note that one of his bands, Electric Flag, contributed to the soundtrack to Easy Rider, but were excluded from the album. Go figger.

I’d never heard of AikiJujutsu before today. It’s awesome because it depends on the energy of the attacker, rather than the strength of the defender. A Veteran on one of the blogs I’ve been following recently (Blogmocracy, aka LGF2.0) said he likes it because it gives one the options of annoy, hurt, or harm, depending on the level of the attack. Hit the Gurgle/Utoobage buttons for more.
This is very cool… except for the weeny beards that kinda negate the coolness. [Found here.]
I was about to post a video of Electric Flag, but this is even better: Buddy Miles with Buddy Guy in the U.K in 1969. Looks like they’re playing with Paul Butterfield’s band, prior to the blues revival in the U.S.
More Buddy Miles, this time with Jimi Hendrix, 1970. Beyond the valley of cool. (We’ve got a great photo of Buddy Miles coming up tomorrow. Stay tuned.)

She works for RAMCO. Get it?
“Orange County firefighters responded to a call of an elderly woman driving a Mercury Grand Marquis backing into one garage and then driving into another garage across the driveway … in San Juan Capistrano Monday morning. No injuries were reported but one of the structures sustained heavy damage.”
I’m not sure what RAMCO manufactures, but if they make garage doors, this would make sense, drumming up business in a slow economy.

Salvador Bartolozzi (1882 – 1950) was one of the most important Spanish comic artists from the 1920s. With his several famous characters, such as the ‘Pipo y Pipa’ and his free adaptation of Collodi’s ‘Pinocho y Chapete’, Bartolozzi counts as an innovator of the Spanish comic strip. Bartolozzi went to Paris, where he stayed for six years. After his return, he joined the publishing house Calleja. Bartolozzi collaborated with several juvenile magazines, such as Pinocho, Macaco and Chiquilín.
