Drip...Drip...drip...

Here is some pretty cool kraut-pop that I picked up on Radio Monte Carlo Swiss(streaming internet radio). If you like it, then check out der remixxen durch Herr Paul Kalkbrenner. Wunderbar!

Living in the Land of Fire

Some things are funny. Some things are not. Sometimes I just can't tell the difference.

Can someone please tell me...if there is ever anything humorous about being caught cheating? It's just that I'd like to know.

Do you think it's a joke to disfigure an animal? If you do...please fill me in.

I find much merriment in the antics of city folk. Not funny "ha-ha"...just funny. But maybe that's just me.

Spinning garb is silly AND hilarious sometimes. So why are my bike riding friends some of the most serious people that I know? Come on now.

I have often suspected that something "funny" was going on, but was never quite sure what it was. Now I am even more confused.

So there you have it: some things would almost be funny, if they were not so close to reality...or maybe were not real at all.

Have a heart, all...play some hoops and have a nice day.

Pistolwhipping Sounds Like Work

I had kind of a hectic day...a busy day...but I made a little time to think and tap my foot. Hope you did the same.

...and a laugh.

O Happy Day

Ahhh...The Eighties. How I could use some Doot Doot right now.

Oh yeah, toned arms...got it...Hahahahahaa!

Filling the needs of a niche market: "Don't worry if you are older or overweight, like half the population of the western world. Filipinos have the highest respect for age and weight is a plus to some here. It is a status symbol." Find Filipina women for love, romance, dating and marriage.
Just dont call them "Mail Order Brides"...it's illegal in the P.I.

Wyoming looks like a "fun" place. Oh well...heh.

Here's a light-hearted look at a serious subject...I ...think. Sheesh!

Stark Raving Glad

A great way to start a wedding and the best thing that I've seen all day.

The 10th Annual Gathering Of The Juggalos !

Man...clownz iz skeery.

More Than a Feeling

Life can be simply fun sometimes. Remember?

Fo' Shizzle

20 Scary Old School Surgical Tools!!

This what happens when you compile a list of "happeningisms". Hahaha! Have a happening day!

Fetal Attraction

All you need is love, they say. Love is a battlefield. Love is all around. Renovation can be a labor of love. Love, love, love. Now we have Post-It love...and it's just as good as ever.

Muzzles Off

Not much to get excited about today until...Perpetuum Jazzile! And to think an obscure Jazz choir from Slovenia could bring such a big smile to my face. No more rain on my parade now.

Zombies like turtles!
Have a nice day.

What Now Brown Cow?

Do you remember the Sixties? Do you really? Then maybe you were not there, huh? Watch this little memory jogger (courtesy of Unka Mike) and find out how your brain cells are holding up.

And speaking of memories...what ever became of the Republican Party? Oh wait, here they are. No kidding.

I can't remember the sixties either now. I have spent so much time trying to absorb all the images, audio, and text on the awesomely fantastic Internet Archives website that most of my childhood and adolescent memory has been displaced. One brain and one lifetime are not enough in this modern world. Ephemera is my life.

The latest in mask fashions from Mexico Here
Have a nice day.

Phlesh for Phantasy

Think you've had your fill? Well, think again cuz' here's more meaty goodness.

What's your pleasure today?A Meat metre, meat meter, meat meeter, or a metre of meat? You don't have to have a cow or go hog wild, do you, now?

Meat art, Art Meat, or even Meat Your Maker.

It's what's for dinner.

Just for fun:
Best TV edit of movie line ever, Ofra Haza , and hi-larious SFW Pron courtesy of our good freind Pablo Alto.

You Do, And You'll Clean It Up!

So it's a small world after all, it seems, as demonstrated by imitative harmony.

Lazy Day(Dream away)

I'm sitting outside in the light drizzly day thinking randomly. There is a blue-green creek beyond my feet that winds through Madrone, Redwood, and Oak forested hills. I haven't spotted any migrating salmon or Steelhead trout yet, but it is that time of the season for them to be passing by.

Just little words, but they mean a lot to us.

Fools Errand

I'm off for the coast today to visit friends, but I couldn't leave without posting this video sent to us from Lone Star Erin.


Mountain Cleaners from swissmiss on Vimeo.

A little naivete is OK, but...Child Predator Hands?

The Day After the Day After.

Some things crack me up...especially Spaceman Trickery.

Some things are unintentionally humorous...or just plain silly, as is the case with food products such as the explosive sounding Batter Blaster. This taste treat adds a new tier to the basic food trapezoid and as the irrepressible Lone-Star Erin reminds us, it's out of this world AND "Organic". Houston, I think we have a problem!

Some things are not funny at all...like unemployment.

Expletive Excreted

Barack Obama is tired of your "motherfucking shit"! Oh,my! Thanks to our bud Pablo Alto for this nugget.

A Pocket Full of Rye

Anybody miss me? I have been busy...VERY busy. Busy,busy,busy learning how to cheerfully watch the world economy collapse, how to count money cross-culturally, and taking a little extra time to appreciate a cakewreck. These things take time and attention.

Not everything comes easy for me. Ok? The subjects of philosophy, hydrodynamics, and economics , for example, are vexing in their complexity and I have labored long to get a simple grasp. Sometimes I just need a baseline to start from and have turned to Khan Acadamy for reference. Mr. Khan has a knack for explaining things so that even I can understand. God bless the internets!


Yes, god bless the modern network technologies that facilitate and enhance our entertainment and education and much praise to the mother-of-all-search-engines Google. If Google came in a can, I would drink and drive. But here is where I go when Google goes flat.

The next time you feel a little jumpy, remember to look before you leap. Good day!

Small Change

What did you learn in school today(dear little boy of mine)? Just random childhood memories; snatches of verse from here and there.
Ok, I seem to be on a 60s' jag. The streams of the mountains please me more than the sea.
Little Boxes: then...and now. Aren't you glad that some things never change...very much? Sue me.

Recursive Iteration...Again

Our pal , Narc Marksman, sends in a lot of cool ideas, pleasant thoughts, and suggestions on how to be a real human being in this most modern of worlds . His latest contribution is a gem of a tale intended to entertain and enlighten. Here is the full version of "Story from North America" (2007) by Garrett Davis and Kirsten Lepore. So don't step on a spider( there's life insider') folks.

Hey hipsters, remember Lulu? No? A little fuzzy? Well, at any rate...she's back in town . Think Go-Go boots will ever come back?

So, by now I think we all should be familiar of the phenomena of the mail order bride, but were you aware that husbands are also post expressable? Me neither. And for those that need a little time to consider a relationship, some lovelorn beauties have plenty of that to offer.

Oh me, Oh my.

Etc....Etc....etc...

By popular demand: For a little added fun, here's a silly bit of DLR obnoxiousness as well as the unadulterated "real thing". So what's a spandex-clad boy to do when he's "Hot for Teacher" and "Jamies Cryin'"? Simple, just "Jump" and "Dance the Night Away".

In One Ear

Hillary Rodham Clinton arrived at the State Department today for her first day of work. Foggy Bottom was ecstatic. It looks like things are off to a good start.
Dang, I feel like waving a flag today.

Lights out! People are doing some pretty amazing things with projections these days. Slide shows sure have come a long way.

Have you ever wondered how credit rates are determined? Have you ever felt that the ones offered to you are too high? Ever think that there ought to be laws against usurious practices? Well it turns out that most states limit the rates that credit companies can charge for their services. Great, yeah? Yeah, well, find out how corporations are able to sidestep your states protections with...Bizarre Credit Loopholes .

Just for fun: Our dear friend Pablo Alto from the wet and wild great northwest sends us a calming link for those times when we need a little meditative diversion with David Lee Roths , "Runnin' With the Devil" soundboard. AAAAaaAAaaahhhhYaaaah! Have fun.

Colors From the Skies

"I sat upon the mountain-side and watched A tiny barque that skimmed across the lake, Drifting, like human destiny upon A world of hidden peril; then she sailed From out my ken, and mingled with the blue Of skies unfathomed, while the great round sun Weakened towards the waves."
--A Lute of Jade by Cranmer-Byng, L.

Ok, it' the REAL new year! This is where we say buh-bye to the old and welcome the new.
I am seldom motivated to rise earlier than I need to, but today I NEED to! Today is an historic one and I want to experience it in real time, not re-runs. Today my friends, to paraphrase the lyrics of the great Gil Scott-Heron, "the revolution will be LIVE"...uhm...and televised. Happy NEW new year brothers and sisters and peace and love to all.
