Don’t laugh. You know exactly what he’s selling, ya?
He probably knows more about growing, harvesting and distributing food than you or I, and his wheels are better than yours. Jes’ sayin’.

Heh.
“…and he was never seen again.“
Obama may run for US Congress.
CNN spared Alabama from Hurricane Dorian. [via]
Efficiency BBQ. (Back in the day, we used stolen hubcaps.)
Racist declares, “White Athletes Should Leave Black Colleges.”
Oh wait.
The Midnight Sun aired November 1961. Watch in full screen mode.
“Bull Doze Blues” Henry Thomas 1928. Sounds kinda familiar, ya?
The Warm List was last updated in 2012.
“Footnote (September 2015) Why the list stopped growing.
The time it takes to process a new entry increases approximately with the square of the list length, after checking for duplications, spoofs etc. Starting it was based on the naïve assumption that the rate of appearances would decline as opposing evidence accumulated, but the reverse happened. That’s the difference between science and religion. […] There have since been hundreds more claims of an increasingly ludicrous nature.“
And The Warm List compiler was right.
At 0:38, “Teacher” Martha Readyoff actually asked Bernie Sanders, “Educating everyone on the need to curb population growth seems a reasonable campaign to enact. Would you be courageous enough to discuss this issue and make it a key feature of a plan to address Climate Catastrophe?“
Look how CNN rephrased her question:
Bernie responded “YES.” Anyone else smell eugenics? I do.
Pheeew.
I decided to close down our CafePress store. Six months ago there was a security breach and I was just notified today via snail mail!

Saturday Matinee – Maddy Bailey, Zappa’s Bolero, The Cadillac Three & John L. Hooker Suckuppery
Maddy Bailey takes no offense [via].
Frank Zappa conducted Ravel’s Bolero, one of the most boring compositions ever, but added a Reggae beat. Why not?
The Cadillac Three make some fun noise. Never met ’em, but I grew up with some just like ’em. Good people.
Holy crap! Look at the lineup of that John Lee Hooker backup band!
Have a great weekend, folks. Boogie chillun’.

“In the mid twentieth century there was made a series of photographs advertising Soviet “An” planes to western buyers. Some of these photos have been revealed just recently. Party leaders didn’t allow them to be used abroad and the photos were kept in the archives of “Antonov” company.”

Gonna Turn It On Wind It Up Blow It Out GTFO
HOLY CRAP! I MISSED OUR 11th BLOGOVERSARY!
Yeah, I missed it by almost a month.
On Friday, 3 August 2007, the date of our first posted post that was posted, the world twitched imperceptibly, a global nanoflinch, an earthquake with the power of a morning fart, or less. It’s our 11th Anniversary, because this:
3 August 2007 – Whelped
3 August 2008 – 1st year Blogoversary
3 August 2019 – 11th year Blogoversary!
As of that (missed) date, there were 4,731 posts in our archives.
Steal, lift, purloin, burgle and abscond with anything you find here, just link back and give us credit for finding the stuff before you did.
We’ve featured the Top 11 Posts every year since 3 August 2008 and this year is no different. There are some surprises, and I still don’t know why some get an exorbitant amount of hits while others fade.
–Previous Top 11 hits linked here—
The numbers adjacent to the titles indicate ranking for the previous 12 months, followed by the previous year’s ranking, and the third number is for all-time popularity (August 2007 – August 2019).

#3 Rebar With Neon Skimmer & Tomato Plant Hot Links
How to make a Miraphone.
László Bíró is possibly the greatest pen name ever.
Marcel Marceau‘s last words were, ” .”
This illusion works only once… as far as you know. If you’ve never seen it, stop the video at 0:55, reset to 0:00 and watch it again. If you’ve seen it before, watch the entire video non-stop, then smack your forehead.
Neither Southside Johnny nor Maria Muldaur wrote the song. Lois Mann & Henry Glover did, and The Swallows recorded it in 1951.
I first heard this song when I was 11. This song sounded so good, but I was curious as to what they were talking about. I’m like “Grandma, what are they talking about?”
She looked at me for a minute and replied, “They’re talkin’ ’bout cuttin’ meat.”
BTW, Lois Mann’s real name was Sidney Nathan.
