There are waaaaay too many things wrong here. The polkadot yukata for example. Did the Colonel ever serve watermelon in the Kentucky Fried Chicken franchises? Not in my memory. But to tell the truth, I’m ticked that KFC doesn’t deliver their buckets o’ artery-clogging flavor to my house anymore. I can only take so much pizza.

Remember the banjo boy from Deliverance? His name is Billy Redden.
Shannon asks the wrong guy to do a missing cat poster.
[Update 20 July 2010– David Thorne’s website is here. Expect to be entertained for the next few hours.]
Awesome model train museum in Germany is awesome.
Here’s a phrase you don’t hear often: Virtual Centipede Head.
Here’s another phrase you don’t hear often: Virtual Sinus Surgery Simulator.
This blog is rated PG because I used word “fart” once and said “crack” three times, according to this site.
The world’s most annoying parrot?
[Update– Deleted reference to FaceBook probs.]
The Three Stooges would have been nothing without Larry Fine, and all you have to do is imagine Moe Howard with only Curly Howard, or Moe with only Shemp Howard. To be sure, a team of Shemp, Curly and Larry wouldn’t have lasted long without Moe Howard’s belligerence. Larry Fine was awesome.

Reminds me of the 2nd .gif here.
The original Star Trek was the best. Check out how young Kirk and McCoy look [via].
I might have posted this before, but Robert Klein was truly funny occasionally. If anyone has a clip of his classic “I Can’t Stop My Leg,” lemme know.
Classic summer song by The Friends of Distinction.
Here’s The Cornelius Brothers in Ft. Lauderdale in 1983, reprising their hit from 1972. (The video link above jumps to other stuff; couldn’t find a solitary link of a live show.)
Also from 1972, here’s War‘s live version of “Slipping Into Darkness.” Early 70s funk was awesome. Have a great weekend, folks, and be back here tomorrow for more funk and games.
Awesome marketing concept, but it targets the wrong people, unless you’re into shrinkwrap. Nice appropriate soundtrack, though.
Wanda Jackson! Who says women can’t do rockabilly?
Whoever did this Betty Boop / Louis Prima mashup gets a hat tip from me. Whoa. Hold on there. Looks like it’s time for some Spotniks!
Yep. The Spotnik’s Theme from 1963, a band from the UK, sounding an awful lot like lots of other bands from 1963.
Let’s wrap this up with some awesome gospel from Ricky Skaggs, the greatest mandolin player since Bill Monroe. Have a great weekend folks. See you back here tomorrow.
I kinda suspected this. Not. [via Cynical-C]
Percy Faith’s “Theme From A Summer Place” was one of my favorites for reasons I really can’t explain; I just liked it, especially when the french horns kicked in. [via The Chawed Rosin]
Here’s another song that’s way up in my favorites. “Blue Moon” was composed by Rogers and Hart in 1934, and Stéphane Grappelli treated it with respect.
Asleep at the Wheel paid homage to Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys. [via Huck Funn]
Don’t know who Bob Wills was? Here’s a video to show you what y’all have been missing. Meanwhile, have a great Independence Day weekend, folks, and don’t forget to put your flag out tomorrow.
Fortunately for you there is NO video evidence on the Utoobage to redeem these musical wonders, so we can only guess what they sounded like, and it’s a safe assumption that the t-shirt sales were as successful as their autographed debut album.
Now about their groupies… nope. Not even gonna go there.
