Our Grumpkins were known to make dogs bark and little kids cry. A red Sharpie marker, a serrated boning knife and Tom Waits’ “Bone Machine” / Mickey Hart’s “Planet Drum” blasting through the neighborhood made it all worthwhile.
The neighborhood kids are all grown up now…
Love those eyes – great use of an adjustable hole cutter. [Found here.]
The Gawper [via Miss Cellanea]
Screamin’ Jay Hawkins “I Hear Voices.”
Tom Waits’ “What’s He Building?” is a creepy classic.
Pixar’s Rodrigo Blass: “Alma.” (Caution: this is NOT for little kids.)
Nice jam. Albert Collins’ King’s “Born Under A Bad Sign,” cranked out by Davy Knowles, Christine Collister, Bonnie Hayes, and members of the Robert Cray Band.
Have a great weekend folks, and be back here tomorrow for more oddities.

Nice and cozy, but a bit damp and musty. On the plus side, you can kick the walls, release some spores, and grow your own neighborhood.

Update: Apparently it’s part of the Kids Activity and Learning Centre at Soneva Kiri Resort:
Soneva Kiri by Six Senses is located on Koh Kood, a remote island situated in the east of Thailand, known for its pure waterfalls, crystal clear waters and traditional village life.

The Missus pulled up a weed last week. At least she thought it was a weed, but forgot we’d planted some taters in the garden, and now we have a home-grown po-tay-toh. The picture doesn’t do it justice – believe me, it’s awesome, almost as awesome as this vid from 1991:
[Vid previously posted – so what. 🙂 ]
Dr. Suess’ “Oh The Thinks You Can Think” is a video adaptation with music from the banned “Dylan Hears A Who.”
My new keyed fiddle (“Schlüsselfiedel” in German, “nyckelharpa” in Swedish). This instrument was common throughout the German speaking areas until the 17th century – from then on, it was kept only in the area of Uppland in Sweden, where the art of the instrument was rediscovered in the 20th century.
Humming House’s “Gypsy Django” is kinda fun. Tip ‘o the tarboosh to Bunkarina.
Remastered from the famous rooftop recording, I dedicate The Beatles’ “I Me Mine” to the hypocrites participating in OccupyWhatever, who are making the same mistakes and pulling the same stunts of decades ago.
The late Sam Kinison’s “Wild Thing” is pure awesome. [h/t brick]
