These nice oddities were scrounged from a .gif link dump. Regarding credits, see last week’s .gif post (the poll is still open).

Honestly, I’d like to meet the people that painted these, just not all at once, and the first commenter who makes The Obvious Lame Pun can eat my shorts.

Yeah, but she used to be a hottie…

“We need a statue…”
“…so I’m commissioning you to create a lasting statue, one that represents our country’s honor, bravery and courage in the face of adversity.”
“How about a ferocious lion, fighting its way to freedom?”
“No. I want a goat.”
“A goat, sir?”
“Yes. A goat with a pike.”
“A goat holding a fish, sir?”
“No. A goat holding a pike, a lance.”
“A jousting goat, sir?”
“No. A goat just holding a lance, to show that we are peaceful at heart, yet are capable of defending ourselves should we need to. And it’s got to be a Christian goat.”
“But sir, not all of our countrymen are Christians.”
“So include our flag, to unite us, and to recognize the Christians as well.”
“You got it.”
And it struck fear in the hearts of no one…

The .gif Friday Post No. 80 – Sports?
Folks– We’ve been posting .gif animations every Friday, and although we’d prefer to give credit, the majority (but not all) of the .gif’s we post are pilfered from a handful of collection sites that give no credit to the original authors. So here’s a poll. Lemme know what you think. –Bunk
[Update 21 May 2009 – When we post images and .gif animations like these, TR usually (but not always) renames and saves them in this format:
Boogedyboogedy_websitefoundat 090521.extention
Name of the image, followed by the name of the site, followed by the date that our crack team of webminers found it, in the format of yr/mo/day, followed by .jpg, gif, etc. This allows us to archive unpublished images and to credit the sources later. It’s a sloppy but honest way to do it.
To find the hidden sources, all you need to do is hover your cursor over them. Rock on. –Bunk]
Foggy Mountain Ladyland
It all makes sense now, considering Jimbo Hendrix’ love of the ‘grass and his discography:
Hey Bud
Purple Hayes (tribute to Woody)
All Along the Wheat Flour
Breakdown Traffic
MooMoo Child
Stone Fence
Fox-N-Ladle
The Wind Cries Opal
(Many more classics were showcased at the Monterrey International Harvester Festival in 1970.)
Aside from Jimbo, The GrooveGrass Boyz mixed some Grand Ole Opry standards with funk, with Bootsy Collins on bass. Really.

Once a Babe Magnet, always a Babe Magnet.
What to do when your Babe Magnet bites the dust? Rent it out! Face it, there’s value in everything, and in this case, the upholstery still works.
Tattoo Mullet Ricky (as he’s known to locals) has made several economical improvements to his efficiency unit, adding solar screening to reduce the heat gain, and a semi-recessed composter for waste recycling.
His night job breaking down pallets for firewood gave him the idea to upgrade his living space. Now he can get a decent day’s sleep without being shooed from bus benches and dumpster enclosures. At night, he rents out the room to those less fortunate than he in exchange for something that kinda makes our skin crawl just to think about it.
