The .Gif Friday Post No. 513 – 3 Plants. I go first.

We Remember- 7 December 1941

Correction. WAR was declared upon U.S. by Japan by the unprovoked attack, and the U.S. responded.

Dad always stamped his letters with this:

Practical Inexpensive Theft Protection

Employee Of The Month Hot Links

The Fallacy of the Heap. One hair does not make a beard, therefore a beard doesn’t exist.

Walk like an Egyptian. The Cleverlys cover The Bangles.

Talk like an Architect. Say stuff like this and everyone will go “Wow.”

Bear pants for only $50 here.

Highway 51 Blues – Curtis Jones recorded it sometime in the late 1920s or 1930s, and it was covered by Bob Dylan in 1962. (Jones also toured with a minstrel show.)

I have a digital collection of Rolling Stone Magazine’s Top 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time that I obtained entirely by accident. Guess what No. 1 is (and it wasn’t recorded by Muddy Waters).
Now guess the name of the band that made No. 2 on that list.
No peeking.In the lyrics of those 500 songs, the words love, I’m, oh, know, baby, got and yeah had the most usage in order of frequency, so if you’re a songwriter, “Know, baby, I’m got love, oh yeah,” is a winning phrase.

Bunkessa just informed me that she was named “Employee of the Month” where she no longer works. AWESOME.

Saturday Matinee – Christopher Ameruoso, Sonia Sanchez, & The Rave-Ups.

Don’t know much about these two, but I’ll say this. Christopher Ameruoso has a nice cigar-box slide style, but he’d do better without his cutesy mugging. On the other hand, any woman who can slap a lime green stand-up bass like Sonia Sanchez gets my vote.

Serious PsychoPunkaBilly there, and Sanchez slaps the hell out of that bass. Let’s take it down a notch. I was about to post The Rave Ups’ classic “In My Gremlin” but maybe we should go with this instead.

What a great groove. The Rave-Ups were underrated and deserved more recognition IMO, but MO doesn’t count, by the way.

Have a great weekend, folks, and we’ll do something different tomorrow.

P.S. To the guy who got out of his truck to tell me that my brake lights were out, THANK YOU. It explains a couple of close calls I saw in my rear view mirror…

The .Gif Friday Post No. 512 – “Does This Ever Happen To You?”


All are clips from late-night TV ads for helpful gizmos. The lady in the gray pullover goes through a dozen eggs every morning, but Tape Measure Guy is my favorite.
