Step 1. Take a wild guess.

“The Art of Taxidermy,” 1898, by John Rowley can be found in its entirety here.  The text is fascinating.  I just might download it so I can repair my jackalope head.

One year anniversary for SPLHCS!

FinPeng started up his online oddness a year ago today with “Sgt. Peppers’ Lonely Hearts Club Soda.” Go give him a “howdy” and a beer, here.  While you’re at it,  check out his new site, “The Awesome Squad.” That’s where FinPeng, I and several others will buy YOU a beer… as long as you behave yourself.

The Awesome Squad

Ten 15 23 views in its First Day!  WooHoo! Give it a coupla days for the Squad to Squadify itself and check back.  Should be Awesome. Film at 11.

Doodleboards

I really need one of these for when pens become obsolete. The complex shapes you can create while leading on and convincing telemarketers that you’re REALLY interested in their product/service/investment scams almost rival my own analog version.

Reminds me of The Stress Calendar. It was an 18″x 24″ blotter type pad that sat on top of a file cabinet adjacent to one of the office telephones. The boss didn’t believe in letting underlings have telephones at our desks so we had to go to the one next to The Stress Calendar. Very efficient.

Here’s a sample:

TGIF: The .gif Friday Post 18 – Dead Karl

I’ve never seen a .gif animation as sophisticated as this one, at least not since, but there must be others as this is #3 in a series. (Please don’t expect us to post this kind of quality every Friday… we can’t!)

[Anyone have the original source for this one? We’d like to give credit.  Also, the Caption Contest is still on.]

Here’s to Your Nulls, and more…

Since this is SNTC Anniversary month, we offer this tribute.

Okay. Assume you’re a male bee and… oh nevermind. The allegory doesn’t work with conchs. Let’s move on.

This configuration is designed for a two-person study group. The checkerboard has been removed for clarity.

Note the absence of TP. Note the presence of the sponge on a stick. Note that the sponge on a stick is not for cleaning the chamber pot. Note that the chain flushes nothing, but rings a chime.

Note that this is how very important people did it, and be glad that you didn’t have to answer the bell.

Nice western adaptation for the Turkish Toilet. (Bomb sights have since been added to this model. Roll up your trousers and keep your boots on.)

Thanx a load to b.b., jynx, Geezer & Donk for bringing all this to my attention.
