Caracoles

There once was a girl

With a little yellow curl

Right in the middle of her forehead.

And when she was good,

She was very, very good;

But when she was bad, she had snails all over her face.

Possum Yawn

Haven’t seen our ‘possums around here lately, and the slugs and snails are missing, too.  Coincidence? Nah.

If you find one of these in your bathroom this holiday season, you’ll know that Bunk paid y’all a visit.

Mickey Possum has a good attitude.

Mickey Possum is omnivorous.  Mickey Possum eats snails and slugs and cat detritus.  Mickey Possum poops in your gutters.  Mickey Possum has no shame.  Mickey Possum has a sister named Sascha.  Mickey Possum laughs at you behind your back.  Mickey Possum has a good attitude.

Mickey Possum says, “Hi!”

Saturday Matinee – Funny Dude, A Capella, Slugs, and PF Live

Lotta truisms there;  video found in Archie’s Archives.

Don’t know who these folks are, but “Oh Gee” was a hit in 1955 by the Crows. Could be them.

The Persuasions were/are possibly the most underrated acapella group (featuring bass singer Jimmy Hayes, who Frank Zappa called “the human sub-woofer”).

“Legendary musician Frank Zappa and his wife Gail discovered The Persuasions (in a commercial sense) in 1968. At the urging and encouragement of a good friend of the Persuasions, David Dashev (who eventually became the groups producer and manager), Zappa listened to a tape of The Persuasions. Shortly after listening to the tape, Frank and Gail Zappa signed the group to their label. The Persuasions debut album ‘Straight’ was a mix of studio and live recordings released during the fall of 1970.”

(This group was featured here before, but unfortunately the videos were yanked by Utoob for seventy mental reasons.)

This is an old one from the Beeb, narrated by David Attenborough.  It’s cool, bizarre and gross at the same time, but it’s nature. I posted it just because  Thelit said her kids and their friends love this kinda stuff.  Go for it.

After the Slugs (wasn’t that a Grateful Dead tune, or maybe a Peter Sellars movie?) this may help clean your eye sockets. Other than the dopey devilpigs,  it’s all cool.

Molluscan Graffiti

At least it’s not public/private property. I mean, snails don’t have rights, at least not yet.
