Live Archaeopteryx Found Near Bayou La Batre
It was really annoying and aggressive at first, but it tasted just like chicken. [Found here.]
Vegetarian Hot Links con Carne
What’s inside an Etch-A-Sketch.
Bottled water can thwart a crime.
I’ll bet the guy smells like fish [via].
Andy Griffith & Don Knotts discussed The Andy Griffith Show in 1996.
I want that, and that; gimme one of those, and I’ll take that thing, too; Aw hell. Give me one of each.
Open Question: Where did that annoying sound that some women make when they see something cute or sad come from? You’ve heard it. It’s three syllables, goes like uh-aou-wah? and ends with a questioning inflection.
The Beatles’ first take of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.
Attention vegetarians: Plants can hear water and they know when something’s eating them.

Saturday Matinee – St. Paul & The Broken Bones, Booker T. & The M.G.’s, & The Knitts
Wow. I haven’t heard stuff like this since the Blues Brothers promoted it. Okay I have, but not as far as you know.
St. Paul & The Broken Bones does retro soul / R&B, with a sound that is pure Stax/Volt from the Big O days. They’re from Birmingham, not Memphis, and I’d post a direct link to their website, but it froze up my computer twice (you’ve been warned).
Let’s continue our stroll down Soul Street, shall we?
Booker T. & The M.G.’s were about as close to the center of the Soul Circuit as anyone. (Members of San Francisco’s CCR were in the wings during this performance taking notes).
Okay, let’s jam the gears. How many influences can you cover in one song?
Bunkessa volunteers at a local radio station occasionally, and The Knitts showed up to play live in-studio. The band is getting a following, have some tours lined up (and they know she has a Class B license).
Have a great weekend, folks. See you back here tomorrow for more fun stuff.
The .Gif Friday Post No.483 – Merry-Go-Nap, Bitchslap & Tripping In L.A.
What a drip.
As far as I can tell, that’s the work of Celia Basto. She’s got some interesting stuff on her blog.

I have a sign on the lawn that says “HOT LAVA.” Keeps the little kids on the sidewalk.

Pup On The Roof
“When this old world starts getting me down,
And people are just too much for me to face;
I climb way up to the top of the stairs,
And all my cares just drift right into space.
On the roof, it’s peaceful as can be;
And there the world below can’t bother me…”
Q. And what does the dog say?
A. “ROOF! ROOF! ROOF!”
