Point The Missed Someone in the Summer of Love
Ever wonder why the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is in Cleveland? It’s all because of Mooncat Buckeye.

Michelle O. Action (Go) Figure
The latest gimmick to hit the market just in time for Halloween: The First Lady Action Figure. It is being heralded as the first toy in the likeness of Michelle Obama. WRONG.
I like to boil things down to their essence, and the toy on the right gets my vote for Toy of the Year, especially with the photoshopoopage of the photo on the left. Those proportions just aren’t right, even for Barbie.
In context, the toy on the right is immediately recobanizeable as The First Lady in all her glory, just as Aretha Franklin and Barbara and George Bush were similarly memoribalised below:
Here at TR, our crack team of webminers previously posted Lego’s Contribution for the adulation of the devout: a full landscape model of THE INAUGURATION. It’s awesome.
But Michelle’s action figure is still not as awesome as this one.
Great Educational Gift Idea: My Cleaning Trolley
Be a Night Janitor just like Mommy! (Note that it says, “Girls Only.”)
Not to worry, though, as there is a related educational toy just for the future Junior Maintenance Manager in your family, called “My Mop, My Bucket and My Squeegee.”

Babe Magnet: Look Sharpie!
Earl Scheib‘s got nothing on this guy.
Mr. Redshoes, you need more homework assignments so you can graduate and get a decent job to pay Earl for a strip and paint special. Otherwise you’ll prolly have to pay someone to buy your four-wheeled artwork.
We also suggest you start saving for tatt removal laser work on that inkbooger you smeared on your forearm. Pure efficient genius.

An Expensive Ignosecond

[Update: Two commenters below pointed out that this may have been intentional, and not an Ignosecond. If anyone can find the original source for the story, leave a comment and we’ll post the linky. The link originally posted is dead.]
Saturday Matinee – A.B. & the D., C.T.A., B.G., and Dan
Archie Bell & the Drells doin’ the “Tighten Up.” No lip synching there.
Chicago Transit Authority from 1970. Chicago was a lot of funk and whiteboy soul and I loved this band before it got all weeny. They were cool, even after “Color My World,” the slow-dance-rubbing-anthem for teenagers everywhere. (Janessa Vapors was in great demand whenever it was played.)
“Sweet Home Chicago,” a Robert Johnson song, as performed by Buddy Guy in the Elmore James style. I might be mistaken, but it looks like the late Stevie Ray Vaughan‘s band Double Trouble is backing him up. Dan Aykroyd & John Belushi’s “Blues Brothers” resurrected the song, but dedicated it to Magic Sam.
Now for something completely differnet. At the TR board meeting today, we discussed whether or not we should allow/encourage submissions of links to the Utoobage that demonstrate the various talents of our Loyal Readers.
The answer was a solid but wavering YES.
So here’s our first submitutante, Dan, who knows how to shred a guitar and doesn’t mind posting it on the Utoobage. Note that he’s torn the head off his electromo-gitfiddle since it was obviously in his way.
What kinda man follows Tacky Raccoons? Well, there you go. If anyone else would like to contribute, post your hidden talents, toss us some emailage and maybe we’ll give you some pro-bono face time.
Your pal,

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.
