Sorry, We're Closed!

The moose out front shoulda told ya.

The Minnesota government is shutting down tonight, right before one of the busiest long weekends of the year. I don't know how many millions the state will lose this weekend just on the state parks that are closed and the fishing licenses that people won't be able to buy. And much will private business lose because people can't take a trip to a state park. What a bunch of morons. Morons for doing this at this time. Morons for doing it at all. Morons for letting things go to hell in the first place. Who's our governor now? Hmm, some guy named Mark Dayton. A democrat. Way to go, hippies.

Hendrix

Here's a great photo of Jimi getting his hair fixed while he reads a Mad magazine.

Chef Boy-ar-dee Pizza!

One of my favorite foods. Just add green olives. Makes the house smell great all night.

Battle Dessert

Ice cream surrounded by a fortress of Jell–o surrounded by gumdrop guards. This is genius!

Tostitos Nacho Cheese

Seems like I'm constantly telling Kim or somebody about these, but nobody remembers them. I bet Leo does. They need to bring them back. They were so delicious. I couldn't recall what the packaged looked like, but then I found these photos on flickr and went "oh yeah!"

I love the text in the bottom–right corner of the back about not being a litterbug.

The Beaver, Damn It

Beav finally gets some attitude.



And then he loses it.

Alice Cooper Comic Book

Wonder how many of these are out there?

Schlitz

What the?

Foam Storm

The problem with filming set–in–NYC Kojak in Los Angeles? Trying to come up with convincing snow. I've never seen them use foam before. It looks like they had the LAFD foam truck drive through and dowse the street and cars with foam.

Starfleet Miranda

An embroidery of the TNG crew… wearing fruit on their heads. Thank you, internet. I was afraid I'd never get to see that.

Beds

After sleeping on the same waterbed since around 1977 (well, I'm on the 3rd matress, probably the 4th or 5th heater), it's finally time to move on. It's just too hard to find stuff for it any more. Kim never liked it, but I don't see how. There's nothing better than a waterbed in Winter. I'm going to really miss a pre–warmed bed. I decided we needed to get a California king (same length as a waterbed) instead of a regular king so my feet have plenty of room. I hate it when I sleep in a short bed and my feet are all squished by the sheets. Yeah, it's harder to find sheets in that size, but you can order them online, and it's not like we have to buy new ones all the time. Hell, good ones last for years and years.

The mattress we liked best was one of the Tempur-pedics with a softer layer on top. It felt very waterbeddy for me and firm for Kim. I was hoping Kelly would be there in her little nighty to jump up and down on a demo model for us. (If you don't know who I'm talking about, you need to watch more TV.)

AaaaaAAhhh, the… Frensh

I might've posted this once before, but in case I didn't.

Flying my slightly scuffed Lotus Batmobile over Nürburgring.



I forget what I was driving, but it's nice to see that they put seatbelt warning stickers on the visors. Otherwise, I'd be laying on the ceiling, what with the car being all upside–down and stuff.

Clever

What a great TV show episode title: Close Cover Before Killing. Plus, Ponch makes an appearance. What's he doing in NY on Kojak's beat?

Zombies

Mixed–up or not, they're still zombies.

Guest Drummer

This (NSFW) never happens when I play my drums. Maybe I need to play strip clubs and burlesque theaters.

Devo Is Still Devo

Last night in Texas.

There are some incredible cartoon images in this old pamphlet about drugs. Pretty wild stuff.

Here's a bunch of interesting stuff about Fred Rogers.
