Just in time for Oktoberfest. [h/t Nancy H.]
I’m speechless. I hope Archie McPhee got some royalty bucks from this one [via].
Ten Years After was one of my favorite blues-rock bands before I even knew what blues-rock was. Alvin Lee was killer.
Yeah. This. I never quite knew what the song meant, but I still like it [found here.].
Have a great weekend, folks, beware of liars, & we’ll see you back here tomorrow for stuff.
[Found in here.]
Amazing. The contents of clay cylinders found during the excavation of ancient Babylon is evidence that soapmaking was known as early as 2800BC, and these guys in Nablus are still doing it the ancient way, by hand. Why?
Nice animation that must have taken a while to make [via].
Fishing with John (with Japanese subtitles). From the Utoobage comments: “The problem with other fishing shows is that they are too polished, too normal. And they don’t have enough Tom Waits.”
Reminds me of “The Fishin’ Musician” series featuring John Candy.

“Been passing by the parked “Tinct” often on my morning commute from the southlands. That thing is definitely compact and I’d like to know its history – where you bought it, who modified it, etc., just out of curiosity.”
Madam Colleen responded:
“Thanks for your interest in Tin Can Tarot trailer.
It was an old 4×6 hauling trailer we cut off to use the trailer bed and build a new structure with maximum interior space possible, and that was round so it became a tin can. It is all custom fabricated by me and a variety of BurningMan friends and artisans who donated time and skills and other parts I paid for. It was and is a true labor of love.”
I didn’t ask her about my future. I already know more than I want to.
