Raw, um, talent
If that’s not bad enough, you can listen to their “hit” here. Just remember, there are some things you can’t unhear.

[Update: Plane emailed me and said the title of the post should have read “So What Are You Gonna Be IN for Halloween.”
I responded with “The Little Halloweener.” Any other captions we missed?]

Anyone paying attention to the ongoing LGF soap opera will appreciate Bite Me Comics. If you’re not, consider yourself fortunate.
Diesel’s book “Mercury Falls” is out on amazon. He’s a funny guy who helped me get my blogging mojo. (More info here.)
The man who saved billions from starvation who you’ve probably never heard of: Norman Borlaug (1914-2009). Related video here (includes some unnessesary foul language from Penn Gillette).
Turning Number 1. I’ve got no clue what this is all about, but it’s yet more propaganda showing that the guy is always the idiot.

Granny Annie
That’s Granny Annie, a retired volunteer schoolyard monitor who sends elementary school children to Purgatory for wearing socks with colors that haven’t been approved by the school magistrate.
That was a last minute request from Mrs. Strutts to submit a response to this contest:

What do rural teenagers do when there’s no satellite access? This.
THE classic hobo song performed by Harry “Haywire” McClintock. According to the Wikipoids, the song dates to a 1928 sheet music copyright by one “Billy Mack.” Prior to the widespread availability of recorded discs, most of the money to be made was in selling sheet music for parlor pianos.
McClintock sued for copyright infringement and lost, yet the song is usually attributed to McClintock anyway.
We’re gonna skip the history of country music, bluegrass and blues, and jump right into Clarence Gatemouth Brown’s “Okie Dokie Stomp,” originally recorded in 1954. (Song starts after a brief interview.) Not impressed? Then check out “Pressure Cooker” previously posted here.

All Dinosaurs go to heaven, and there’s teh proof in glorious duotone watercolor. At least they look happy.
It makes me smile, not in the, “Good God am I glad we don’t have to deal with THOSE things,” but in the “Wow. I wish I’d thought of that!” kinda way.
A Giant Cthulhu tentacled thing just throws them all up into the pink vapors without consideration for the various epochs that the various depicted giant lizards lived in. Must have taken a long time, or else The Tentacled Thing compressed millions of years of time before it puked and sent them to kingdom come. Compression of time and space in duotone watercolor.
I love it.
