Funniest Cartoon Ever Kliban was a genius There really isn’t anyone else I’ve found who’s blown my mind, through cartoons, like B Kliban. He’s like the Robert Anton Wilson of cartoon artists. There’s this one cartoon of a caveman about to throw a rock at the moon, that’s just hilarious to the point of infinite [...]

Til Human Voices Wake Us And We Drown Poetry is not just for pussies. Some of it doesn’t even suck, like this one. Seriously, I really enjoy TS Eliot. I know he’s kind of the mayonnaise of poetry, I don’t care. I don’t pretend erudition in verse. I know what I learned in high school, [...]
Etta James And The Grateful Dead With The Tower Of Power Horns
4 Feb, 2012 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, music
12/31/82 Oakland Coliseum In honor of Miss Etta’s passing, I present you with one of the neatest little surprises I’ve found. On New Year’s Eve 1982, the Grateful Dead (a pop music combo) played a gig in the land of Bill Graham. Apparently, from the comments I read in myriad (more than you would think) [...]
“My function is to raise the possibility, ‘Hey, you know, some of this stuff might be bullshit.’” — Robert Anton Wilson Robert Anton Wilson Pope, Genius, Awesome BoingBoing paid homage to one of the most underappreciated pillars of the post everything culture. He is, by far, the most influential person in my life. I just [...]
Funniest Thing Ever (Retro Edition) – Buddy Hackett Live And Uncensored
2 Feb, 2012 in fnord, funniest shit ever, humor
Jew Vill Ski! Jew Vill Not Ski! Jew Vill Watch! I remember watching this when it first aired on HBO, back in the early 80′s. I was living in Bedford, NH and one funny night in 1983 (I looked it up) Buddy Hackett made me laugh my ass off. He joked about homosexuals, and nazis, [...]
1938-2012 A True Legend My wife introduced me to the music of Etta James, back in 2000. She always played Etta’s Live from San Francisco CD, in her car when we were out. Over the years I’ve heard a good deal of her catalog, mainly her later career, from 1980 onward… and it’s all amazing. [...]
I Can Has Lolcat? Yes, Virgina, You Can Has It’s been a long time since the last lolcat. It will probably be a long time before my next one.

Break Glasses, Wreck a Laptop, Set Fires All To Turn A Newspaper Page This is just fucking great. Remember the beginning of Pee Wee’s Big Adventure? The breakfast machine? It’s like that but better, because it’s clever as hell. Joseph Hersher is the genius behind this contraption. All hail. Thank you to my antipodean friends [...]
Watch The Rolling Stones Performing An Amazing Beast Of Burden From 1978
9 Jan, 2012 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, musichttp://youtu.be/MYvy3kBYN4Q
I like it that the Stones are delving through the archives, and releasing some of the cool stuff they find. Things like the expanded Exile On Main Street, or Ladies and Gentlemen, The Rolling Stones (1972 concert film) are actually worth the release. They have a vitality that’s their own. The latest Rolling Stones release, [...]
Super Fast Camera Records Photons At A Trillion Frames Per Second.
15 Dec, 2011 in Coolest Shit Ever
Coolest Thing Ever MIT’s Media Lab Let’s hear it for Femtophotography. What it is, is crazy complicated, with lasers and algorithims, and various maths and sciences. What it does is easy. It allows video recording of a nanosecond event, in slow motion. A half trillion frames per second. Yikes. Check out the Camera Culture webpage, [...]
Dead At 41 Unbelievably Funny I was shocked to hear that we lost comedian Patrice Oneal. He died following a stroke brought on by diabetes. It’s unusually surprising, as I have had a Patrice Oneal video clip in the queue for about six weeks, but I’m as busy as fuck with work, and I just [...]
James Brown On Soul Train Singing Superbad. It’s The Coolest Thing Ever
15 Nov, 2011 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, music
It’s been awhile, but I have sung the praises of James Brown before. There was no one like him, and his music was so intricate and fast… like Motorhead meets Miles Davis. There’s nothing like funk. It’s deep, and from the hips, but it’s not raw, like the blues, or stupid, like metal. The band [...]
This was shown on Disinformation and I nicked it. It’s long to watch but it’s all true. If you plan on voting for either major party this election, you’re saying this is how you like to roll, cuz ain’t no difference between D and R.

And you try to tell me with consternation That you have found me a brand new lock Then you try to warn me that there’s only one combination One new sling – the same old rock I told you I would post this as soon as I found a video, and I have. Ok, This [...]
The Fifth Of November Remember Roy Harper threw a 70th birthday concert on 11/5 (or 5/11 to our brothers across the pond), and Jimmy Page came out for the encore. I have pictures, and I have a testimonial, but I’ve not found any video. I will post it when I do.

He Held Your Hand And He Sang You A Song Ima kill the discourteous motherfucker. This is one of the great SUN Records classics, completely hit out of the park by Balladeer Bob Dylan, the rockabilly troubador. I’m serious. Click the picture of Bob to hear the original. I’ll wait. … not bad, right? A [...]
A Lot Of Marines Are Furious At What Police Did To Scott Olsen
28 Oct, 2011 in craziest shit ever, fnordScott Olsen Shot In The Head For What? The Occupy movement gets minimal coverage here in the States. If you’re in the States, and don’t think that’s true, take a look at any other foreign news site. My wife followed the police attack on Occupy Oakland, which was just a test case to see how [...]
Abu Dhabi Billionaire Writes His Name So Big You Can See It From Space

It is a section of the island Al Futaisi. That island is owned by a humble renunciate named… wait for it… Hamad. He’s rich. Oil rich. This kind of [...]
