Jack Harrison, the last survivor who participated in The Great Escape of WWII passed away on 4 June 2010. There’s an interesting interactive illustration of one of the tunnels here. [h/t to Wheels.]

Saturday Matinee – The Clarks, Dan Akroyd, Eubie Blake, Tandy & Randy Newman
The Clarks! Tip o’ the Tarboosh to coldwarrior.
Dan Akroyd plays James Cotton‘s version of Ike Turner‘s Rocket 88.
Eubie Blake was awesome. He was 95 in 1978 when this interview was recorded.
During the break there’s an advertisement for the troublesome RadioShack TRS-80 computer system, using magenetic tape cassettes for data storage. Only cost $599! That’s about $2,000 in today’s dollars. Later on, after users complained about problems with the cassette drives, Tandy eventually offered an awesome 5MB hard drive accessory, about the same size as a PC today, for $1,500 – a whopping $4,900 today.
Okay, 1978 was probably the peak of the (gag) disco phase, and the birth of R&B pop love anthems. There is absolutely nothing that ranked in the top 20 that I’d post here, except for maybe for the Stone’s “Miss You.” Worst song they ever did IMO.
On the other hand, this song made No. 41, and Randy Newman gets kudos for writing the most misunderstood song of the year:
Have a great weekend, folks, and meet me back here tomorrow.

If that’s photoshopped, it’s well done, but I think it’s an actual sculpture, maybe pasted onto the image of the tunnel. Just a guess. It’s still cool.

She’s upset because you won’t hug him, you selfish bastard.
C’mon now. Her beetle needs loving, and you just don’t care, do you?
G’wan, hug it. Its name is “Sirpaul.”

Cephalopod Gas Passing
There’s a happy patient. One squeeze and she’s happy; two squeezes and she’s dancing on the table; three squeezes and she’s prepared to serve in congress.
[Found here. Nice one, McGoo.]
