I’m sorry to report that due to DNA analysis, skunks are now classified as mephitids and are no longer members of the mustilid family. That’s okay because honey badger is.
[Live Amtrak poll found here. More mustilid stuff here.]
BONUS: This is what a skunk sounds like.
Harlem Nocturne, The Viscounts (1959)The Viscounts’ only hit was released in 1959 and peaked at No. 53 on Billboard’s Top !00. It was re-released in 1966 and made it to No. 39.

LOBSTERMAN SWALLOWED AND PUKED UP BY WHALE
[Top image: I was looking for something to go with the music and found Fleur de Guerre, a vintage model from the UK. Her Twitter profile states, “I like old stuff, wrestling & heavy metal.”]
From the Archives: 1 year ago. 5 years ago. 10 years ago.
Okay, let’s have a poll. Answers are randomized, multiple choices are allowed, all anonymous. Pick your top three, add nominations as you wish.

From the ICYMI Department:
Porch Package Theft Payback is brilliant.
The Best Christmas Song Collection ever IMO.
If that’s not The Best Christmas Song Collection ever, THIS IS.
It’s not officially Christmas until I hear this version of Leroy Anderson’s 1946 classic.
From the Fun Facts To Know And Tell Department:
The song “Christmas Is My Time Of Year” was originally recorded in 1968 by the one-off supergroup “The Christmas Spirit” which included members of The Turtles (including Flo & Eddie), The Byrds and Linda Ronstadt. In 1976, an even sappier version was recorded and released by We Three Monkees.

According to a recent survey conducted by StruttsPolls™ a large majority of 22 year-old white male non-registered eligible voters would support a 3rd party because they couldn’t remember the first two.
64.7% of the non-registered voters polled in Rudy’s backyard last weekend said that they’d register to vote if the Party Party was established. The remaining 35.3% wavered between the Toga Party and the Hot Chicks Naked In Jacuzzis With Beer Party.

You missed it, didn’t you?
For this Auspicious Occasion, it was our intention to announce the Wiener of the Poll. We can’t… there is a tie. Planetross and Wheels each garnered exactly 21.43% of the vote. (You can view the entries and poll results here.) So to be fair, we’ve gotta have a runoff poll.
Voting is open for one week only, and the clock is ticking, so Wheels & Planetross, rally your troops.
And for the folks who are sponsoring this Competition, here’s another plug:
You can find millions of personalized gifts, hooded sweatshirts and 2011 wall calendars at CafePress – for any topic, interest or brand!
Sure it’s simplistic, with the 1949 cartoon stereotypes and all, but that doesn’t make the message wrong. Worth watching.

Koko and Fitz try to change the climate. Fleisher’s “Out of the Inkwell” series was nothing less than bizarre, and this is a good ‘un.
How ’bout some Flo & Eddie. Nobody got the joke, and the Turtles were fairly successful.
Neil Young’s “Powderfinger” was one of my favorites. Never stopped to wonder why.
We don’t do many polls here, but we like to hear from you quiet ones from time to time. There’s no risk, your votes are completely anonymous. Just click as many as you like. Consider it your contribution to the TR Steerage Committee.
We’re up to about 17 regular viewers here after thousands of hours of effort, and it’s starting to pay off. As we drift aimlessly into Our Third Annum of existance, our Crack Team of Webminers suggested another poll. It’s a very simple yes/no thingy, and it’s free.
CTW thought we might want to venture into the realm of comments, i.e., post nothing of substance, but use the post itself as a comment generator.
We’re gonna ignore the poll for now, but leave your pertinent questions in the comments section and we’ll respond after leaving the toilet seat up and flushing with our feet. Depending on the volume (of questions) we may answer all in one post, or spread them out over the lawn to hose ’em down later.
Oh Yeah! Finally a realistic Super Hero! Lookee here, he’s got all the important perks:
Red White and Blue symbolism, bulk, strength, the wind behind his back, and and an AJMEFH (Awesome Japanese Monster Eater Fish Helmet) complete with a nuclear navel. SuperUltraman makes the average ultraman cringe and cry by default.
BUT… could he beat these guys?

Ok, for all of you who do not know me, I’m Finicky Penguin, administrator extraordinaire of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Soda, and I only have 3 things to say now…
First off, I have the keys and I’ll gladly pass them to the highest bidder.
Second, once I’m done here, this blog’ll most likely look like this:
Lastly, you all must vote in this poll:
Thanks.
