Saturday Matinee – Canadian Sprinkler, Norwegian Limbo & Swedish WTF

Canadian lawn sprinkler.

Norwegian street limbo.

Swedish ooga chacka. Blue Swede‘s 1974 recording was based upon B.J. Thomas’ 1968 hit “Hooked On A Feeling” as corrupted by Britain’s Jonathan King in 1971.

Have a great weekend folks. We’ll be back here tomorrow to mess around some more.

Photos of People Standing By A TV

Old-TV-with-test-pattern--facing-right-

Not so long ago, owning a black and white TV was a status symbol. Then color TVs came along, and someone invented a tinted screen with a parabolic lens that less affluent folks could attach to their b/w sets to simulate color – it had a brown tint on the bottom for dirt, blue on the top for sky, and a bizarre flavor of red/pink in the middle where the actors’ faces usually were – and it magnified the size of the screen. This cheap fixit was often better at rendering hues than the color TVs were, as the latter often gave the actors a distinctive fuzzy green complexion anyway.

At least Spock looked good.

Ghost Dog Thanks

Ghost Dog
Yeah, he was sleeping in the rain, but now he’s coming inside with that unmistakeable wet puppy smell. Guess what Blackie’s gonna do next?

(Hint: A dog with radius R will shake with the frequency w.)

He’s gonna do it all over you and your furniture because you were nice enough to open the door for him. Consider it Dog Thanks.
