Fun for seconds on end.

[These are not rulers.  Kings and queens are rulers.  These Geek Scales were found via RGS.]

.Gif Friday Post 63: BAM. DOG.

This is apparently from a training video.  The dog is not taking down a bad guy, judging from how the squad runs unprotected from various angles, and the “baddy” is wearing a mattress suit.

In any case, The Dog is way beyond cool.

Friday .GIF Post 62: Slo-Mo Water Balloon, Slo-Mo Raspberries & CatCrabClickClack

Don’t read too much into this Freudian trainwreck. Been busy this week. (And yeah, that’s really what your mouth looks like when you go “phttttttp.”)

BUNK’S TRIVIA CORNER:  “Click-Clack” was recorded by Dickie Doo and the Dont’s.  Although it sucked donkeys big time, it was their biggest hit, went to #28  in 1958.  They had a minor hit (more recently covered by Bad Manners) “NeNeNaNaNaNaNuNu.”

I think Dickie Doo, aka Gerry Granahan, got arrested for threatening to blow up a bank in Southern California in the 1970’s.  The Brooklyn band was named after Dick Clark’s son’s nickname.  Really.

The .GIF Friday Post 58 – Rover

z-ball-owned_creepy

This needs sound.  Reminds me of “The Prisoner” series with Patrick McGoohan.

“Where am I?”
“In the Village.”
“What do you want?”
“Information.”
“Whose side are you on?”
“That would be telling…. We want information. Information! INFORMATION!”
“You won’t get it.”
“By hook or by crook, we will.”
“Who are you?”
“The new Number Two.”
“Who is Number One?”
“You are Number Six.”
“I am not a number — I am a free man!”
(Laughter from Number Two.)
