Excellent example of nature taking care of itself. This creature is in charge of making sure that the ocean doesn’t back up when it flushes itself periodically.
[Image from Dark Roasted Blend. DRB has WAY too many excellent images. Go there and get lost for a couple days. Just make sure you leave some breadcrumbs so you can find your way back, and tell me what you saw.]
I can almost hear it now:
“Josh! Bryan! You won’t believe it– I just scored a 6-pack of carrot extract and, get this, a whole bag of sun-dried figs! ROADTRIP!!”
“Dude! Gotcha covered! Got some ‘Traditional Medicinals Organic Raspberry Leaf!’ We gonna boil some water tonight!”
(The only thing worse than that photo is the embarrassing notion that the industrial designer of the lame-o 1965 Ford Country Squire is still alive to see this.)

UPDATE: We’ve gotten such excellent responses from the Babe Magnet posts that we’ve added a new category just to make it easier for you Babe Magnet hounds to find related posts. I guarantee you that there will be more on the way. –Bunk
No, folks, Bunky doesn’t know what it means either, but anyone with a wallpaper design for sale titled “Tuffy and the Imaginary Flying Cat Head” gets my immediate respect. Rory Skagan’s site has many more products that are Fun to Buy – Cool to Own, so stock up now while supplies last.
[Hat tip to G-off, who lives in a P.O. Box in Colorado. He sent us this as a Christmas card.]
(Somehow this is kinda appropriate after watching the New Hampshire “debates,” and I think Mr. T refers to the voting populace as well as the candidates for the presidency.)

The chicks’ll dig you when you “Bisect the Sea with the Foaming Wake of a Fast Motorboat.”
You’ll also notice that the Cap’n is not paying attention, and that it’s obvious that the sailbabe wants you… as soon as you can show her that you, too, can “Bisect the Sea with the Foaming Wake of a Fast Motorboat.”
Just beware… due to global warming, the fish population has dropped dramatically, and you’ll have to contend with diminutive seabats buzzing around your ears, regardless of whether or not you can “Bisect the Sea with the Foaming Wake of a Fast Motorboat.”

Rocks, and Rolls by God, with wheels.
Put ’em together and watcha got?
Rock N Roll with Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, as if you hadda ask.
[LATE UPDATE BONUS: CLASSIC TIRE ROLL.]
The street had eroded and the parking meter rusted away years ago when Big Momma stepped in to finish the job.
StarWars emesis. And all this time I thought R2D2 only craps pepper in my salad.
[Image from here. Oh yeah, speaking of emesis, Diesel’s still hawking his book at MattressPolice if you’re looking for a last minute Christmas gift. He promises to deliver it in person if you order by midnight tonight. Otherwise, you can read it free on his website. Go figger.]
Here’s the original English version of “Poor Hamster.”
Pleasant harmonies with a good plot and a twisted father with a lot of video editing time makes this a must see. Bunk has been out of the loop on this one, but gives it 5 stars. (2 stars go to the cloying animated version.)
A related song immediately comes to mind. Here’s Marty!
I don’t know how Marty Robbins pulled this one off, but here’s the MTV clip of his hit “El Paso” from 1959. The late Imogene Coca appears in a cameo as “Bellina.”
And speaking of Ike Turner, he passed on to Rock N Roll Heaven this past week.
Ike and his Kings of Rhythm recorded what’s regarded as the first Rock N Roll hit in 1951 with “Rocket 88.” Regardless of what you think of him, Ike & Tina Turner’s Rhythm & Blues Review was also very influential, but without the Ikettes, and especially Tina, he’d have been left as a footnote in the Cobra Records archives. (Ike’s in the gray Nehru jacket in the middle, but who’s that white guy on rhythm guitar? Steve Cropper?)
This is the best version of James Brown‘s “Please Please Please” that I’ve ever heard. Tina was amazing when Janis Joplin was still taking notes.

Helps children to improve self-esteem, at least for the one who goes first. Boys go first on the blue one; Girls go first on pink (not shown).
