Crappy Taxidermy Cat Fail

Spotted this machine here, and all I can say is WOW.

The following is the Feb. 29, 2016 Medal of Honor award ceremony for Chief Special Warfare Operator (SEAL) Edward C. Byers Jr. who won the award during actions he took in a hostage rescue in 2012. [Jump to 00:16:00 to hear his story.]

Scientists have discovered a way to extend the lives of lab mice by 40 percent. Somehow that’s darkly humorous to me.

This is a must read for all voters: Dr. Thomas Sowell.

Saturday Matinee – Ice Stacking, Room Full Of Blues, Magic Slim & Buddy Guy

Lake Superior pwns the ice [via].

13 February 2016
“Lake Superior put on a dramatic show with her recent ice in Duluth, Minnesota.
[…]
The seemingly endless ice sheets broke into large plates and stacked on shore, sounding much like breaking glass. The ice thickness ranged from about 1/4″ to about 3″ thick.”

Room Full Of Blues (AKA The Institute of Awesome). They’ve been around for decades and don’t get half the respect they deserve. I heard them live in the ’80s and my ears are still ringing.

How ’bout some Magic Slim? Nice bad boy groove, that.

Buddy Guy coached a young prodigy on stage, and displayed no condescension whatsoever. What a class act.

Have a great weekend, folks. Be back here to tomorrow, because I said so.

This is the greatest radio theme song ever.

Here’s the original Timmy Time Song.

The Bodysnatchers‘ ska cover of “Too Experienced” is very pretty.
