Babe Magnet Guest House
Although it’s missing a community pool and spa with a game room, this looks pretty nice for my future retirement home. Except for inclement weather, you’ll likely find me sunning on the back porch, with a laptop and a cooler, waving to passersby, before the local constabulary asks me to move.

Saturday Matinee – Reptilicus, Rob, Roches & James Gurley
The Day after Christmas. Quick! What’s the first word that comes to mind? “Reptilicus! An annihilating mastodon immune to all known weapons of warfare!”
Where’s Rob? Simple premise, funny result, and the ending makes it all worthwhile. [Found here.]
Cbullitt sent an email link to The Roches’ version of “The Hallelujah Chorus.” It reminded me of the first Roches’ song I ever heard, “Mr. Sellack.”
Here’s some serious retroness from 1967. From the Utoobage:
Janis Joplin with Big Brother & The Holding company perform live on San Francisco TV program called “POW” that had Rolfe Petersen as the host on KPIX.
Big Brother & The Holding Company’s guitarist James Gurley recently passed away at the age of 69.

The Three Wise Guys
Moe, Santa, Larry, Santa and Curly.
This is the greatest Christmas display we’ve seen in at least 12 months. Two Santas and the 3 Wise Guys, and they’re all life-size, too. Pure efficient genius. (I know where I’m gonna go busking.)
Curly, Larry and Moe.
Curly, Larry and Moe.
Curly, Moe and Larry. Some folks display the 3 Wiseguys year round, just like God intended.

Saturday Matinee – The Beatles, The Rutles, The Troggs, The Jimmy Castor Bunch, The Ape Man
The history of the Beatles. [Found here.]
“With a Girl Like You.” The announcer mispronounces the group’s name as “The Rutles.” Heh.
Here’s the Troggs’ original version of “With A Girl Like You” from 1967. The Troggs got their name from Troglodytes, aka, cavemen, which brings us to this:
“Troglodyte” was one of the worst yet most popular funk trainwrecks ever. Recorded in 1972, the Jimmy Castor Bunch introduced us to Bertha Butt of the Butt Sisters. Boom shakalaka.
And now for our Feature Presentation: “The Ape Man.”
[Note that this is the 1971 original uncut version. Not for the squeamish.]
