“Stupid is rarely quiet.” – Bunk Strutts 5 May 2018
Urban graffiti vid is better with the sound off.
Cat hunts and retrieves sponges.
Time passing too quickly? Consider a Slow Watch. Its single hand rotates once every 24 hours.
Major 7th arpeggio in B♭. Hold your nose and enjoy the Rectal Magnum Opus.
World’s oldest spider dead at 43.
Heh.
Cheap thrills: Find a pair of 3D movie glasses (not the red/blue type, the polarized kind). Put them on, look in a mirror and close one eye. Do it.
George de Mestral (1907-1990) was a Swiss electrical engineer who invented Velcro, but lost his patent rights in 1978.

The .Gif Friday Post No. 533 – Early .Gif FaceMorph, Shadows & AI Humanoid Spaz
[First .gif source unknown, and it’s the second one ever posted on this site. It’s one of my all-time favorites and inspired This Awesome Collection.
2nd .gif found here,
Third .gif was cobbled together from a video of a computer-generated humanoid that taught itself to walk, then run, by trial and error.
“So, um, who’s up for a beer?”
Looks like union work to me.
Then there’s the “Frontier Communications” van in the foreground.
No comment.

“Um, Hasbro. May I have a word with you?”
It appears that Hasbro has repackaged Milton Bradley‘s classic “The Game of Life” (which it owns) with a more accurate title. Good thing there’s a warning that the “poop” contains wheat.

And The Times They Are A Hot Links
A long forgotten grade-school rhyme popped into my head recently and here it is.
Mary had a little watch.
She swallowed it one day,
So Mary took a Feen-A-Mint
To pass the time away.
The Feen-A-Mint, it did not work;
The time, it did not pass;
So if you want to know what time it is,
Just look up Mary’s little brother.
He’s got a watch.
Marky Ramone talks about CBGBs and stuff.
The U.S. Tax System explained with beer.
These “Chimera Cats” are not photoshopped images.

Saturday Matinee – Dave Allen, NYC 1911, Hormel Pepperoni, YES & The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
That’s Dave Allen (1936-2005) and that’s a 1965 VW 6-volt Beetle. It didn’t have headlights. It had glowlamps. I know because I owned one.
1911 New York City restored hand-cranked film, speed corrected and with an added soundtrack humanizes the populace a bit. A lot of interesting things happened in 1911, itemized here and here. Sheet music sales determined the popularity of songs and Scott Joplin’s rags were hot, like Treemonisha.
Hormel Pepperoni advertisement [h/t Calo]. I’m speechless. Let’s get out of here.
YES stood out a bit from the music of the 70s. Sure, they were art rock, their lyrics were inane and incomprehensible, they’ll make you out and out, but their music was killer.
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band was very underrated IMO.
Have a great weekend, folks. See you back here tomorrow.
