Pinkard & Bowden’s “Everybody Shake A Snake” seems irreverently fitting, and they’re both going to h-e-double-hockey sticks for it.

Saturday Matinee – Geek Magic, Mad Goose, Goose Grease, Glad ‘N Greasy & Greasy Wheel
Nice card trick… heh. Story behind it here.
Goose! Guy shoulda wrung its neck and brought the catch home. Yum!
And after you clean it, save the goose grease.
The late Roy Buchanan tells why.
The Beat Farmers‘ “Glad ‘N Greasy” fits. Poor video from the early 80s(?) was part of a demo tape they circulated. (Two of the original members are gone: Country Dick Montana and Buddy Blue.)
The Bryan Beller Band‘s “Greasy Wheel” is a nice bit of groovy oddness. (Listen for the Zappa influence… there’s a reason for that.)
That’s five vids to make the set. Have a great weekend, folks, and we’ll see you back here tomorrow.

30 Gallons of Gas
[via]
MEN will be invited from the audience to protect those under the Influence of the Gas from injuring themselves or others. This course is adopted that no apprehension of danger may be entertained. Probably no one will attempt to fight.
That description is followed by:
THE EFFECT OF THE GAS is to make those who inhale it, either LAUGH, SING, DANCE, SPEAK OR FIGHT, &, &.
Everyone wants to suck it up.
Those who inhale the Gas once, are always anxious to inhale it a second time. There is not an exception to this rule.
Lot’s ‘o fun to be had in 1845 – N2O is a gas gas gas.

That’s All’s I Can Stands And I Can’t Stands No Mower
Elvis the crocodile attacks a lawnmower at the Australian Reptile Park in Gosford, north of Sydney, in this still image taken from video December 28, 2011. Two workers at a reptile park near Sydney ran for their lives on Wednesday when a 500 kg crocodile named Elvis suddenly lunged at them, making off with their lawnmower.
That’s 1,100 lbs. of lurking, lunging lizard, lunching. According to Wiki, the top speed for an Australian freshwater croc is about 11mph, easily outrun, unless you happen to mowing grass next to its territory, so don’t do it.

Weather Forecast For The New Year
[Found here.]
I’m a pessimistic optimist, in that I expect the worst, and if the worst doesn’t come to pass, it’s gravy. This new year has the potential to be just as bad economically as 2011, but I have hope.
Trouble is, hope don’t feed the bulldog, so we’re forced to hunker down until the storm passes. There’s a small patch of blue sky on the economic horizon that suggests the worst may be over. Don’t bet on it clearing until after November when the political pendulum begins its slow return to normalcy, providing plenty of gravy and mixed metaphors for all.
