This is a busy time of year for me, but I managed to slap together an hour's worth of slap-happy rock 'n' roll for you, the listener. From New Mexico come bands like The Scrams and Kilimanjaro Yak Attack. Some of the bands I've gotten to know from The GaragePunk Hideout are here like Lovestruck, The Manxx and J.J. & The Real Jerks. Plus we take a trip into Indian Country with a segment featuring goofy novelty songs from the '50s and elsewhere, as well as some rocking tunes from Native American artists. You'll have to slap yourself to realize you're not dreaming.

The first-ever SALISH 100, June 22-28, 2019, was a small-boat cruise running the length of Puget Sound--100 nautical miles from Olympia to Port Townsend, Washington, and including more than 100 watercraft ranging from Stand-Up Paddleboards to kayaks, rowing boats to pocket-cruising sailboats, and about 15 larger support boats, otherwise known as Motherships.
Organized by the Port Townsend Pocket Yachters group, the SALISH 100 was commercially sponsored by Duckworks Boat Builder's Supply of Port Townsend. Co-sponsors included the Northwest Maritime Center, the Puget Sound chapter of the Traditional Small Craft Association (TSCA), Kingston Mercantile & Marine, The Artful Sailor, Small Craft Advisor magazine, and the Gig Harbor Boat Shop.
Planned overnight stops along the route included Henderson Cove just east of Olympia WA, Penrose Point Marine State Park, Gig Harbor, Blake Island Marine State Park, the Port of Kingston, and Mats Mats Bay before the final destination of Port Townsend.
Boaters came in from all over North America to participate in the event, which promised to be the largest organized small-boat cruise in North America, if not the world.
Registration was free, and advance registration is being accepted for the 2020 SALISH 100 cruise. To add your name to the contact list for 2019 SALISH 100 updates, or to register for 2020, please email organizer Marty Loken at Norseboater22-at-mail.com (replace”-a- with the ampersand @!
The JM97 Police Speeder bike is a futuristic Hover Bike was built to be able to acend above conjested city traffic and fly over to the scene of a crime, or to pursue villans. It has twin SCRAM-Jet Engines coupled to a repulser lift, and can do 230MPH.
This is one of my oldest standing MOC's originally built in 1997-ish. It was inspired by the Playstation video game Jet Moto. I built two of these for my city. This one has been updated recently with new parts to give it a cleaner look (old parts were very dusty) and to add tail lights. Otherwise this model has been unchanged since I first built it. It carries the same equiptment, (a Flashlight/gun and a radio), as Lego's 6324 Police Trike did back in the day.
Western Gulls, Larus occidentalis. There's a story in these three adjacent pictures. When I first started looking at this rock, the chicks were hidden on the far side. What caught my attention was the squabble between the two adult gulls. I believe the squabble was the gull parent telling the other gull it was too close to its chicks and to scram.

LAUREL AND HARDY – JUST ONE MORE TEENSY-WEENSY NIGHT!
Welcome back All Saps! To our second, 39th Anniversary Year Gathering of Marvelous Movie Delights and Humorous Hijinks!
Here your Grandest of Sheiks has assembled a night you will not soon forget. We have a "Special" Guest author in attendance, Mr. Craig Calman. Author of "100 Years of Brodies with Hal Roach: The Jaunty Journeys of a Hollywood Motion Picture and Television Pioneer". A loving look at the man responsible for being the boss of Stan and Ollie, and bringing to us those wonderful Comedy Classics we enjoy each and every meeting. I will interview Craig and he will share great stories and anecdotes. You can also purchase his fine book and have it autographed for a measly $30!
Our special program is JUST ONE MORE TEENSY-WEENSY.... Stan & Ollie and Alcohol, rarely mix. In this case hilariously so! You will see a glass lifting CartOOn, then what happens when you mix two vagrants, a mad Judge that wants them out of town, a drunken benefactor (The always inebriated Arthur Housman) and a tipsy Woman.... everything, in SCRAM! (1932) Then our guest comedian, Red Skelton, provides a demonstration of the wonders of Guzzler's Gin. After a tasty (Alcohol free) intermission, we will watch the recently restored BLOTTO (1930). Stan and Babe decide a night on the town is in order. Off to a Nightclub they go with some Prohibition Booze...they think. What happens when Stan's wife (Anita Garvin) gets a little suspicious?

The Fuller Building or as it is better known, the Flatiron Building, was one of the tallest buildings in New York City upon its completion in 1902. Designed by Chicago's Daniel Burnham with John Wellborn Root in the Beaux-Arts style, it also bears the influence of architectural trends introduced at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, combining elements of French and Italian Renaissance. Its triangular plan was a clever response to the awkward site produced by the intersection of Broadway and Fifth Avenue at at 23rd Street, Fifth Avenue, and Broadway, facing Madison Square.
Like a classical Greek column, its limestone and glazed terra-cotta façade, whose forms simulate the effects of rustication, is separated into three parts horizontally. Since it was one of the first buildings to use a steel skeleton, the building could be constructed to 285 feet, which would have been very difficult with other construction methods of that time. At the rounded tip, the triangular tower is only 6.5 feet (2 meters) wide. The 22-story Flatiron Building, with a height of 285 ft (87 meters), is often considered the oldest surviving skyscraper in Manhattan, though in fact the Park Row Building (1899) is both older and taller.
When completed, it was officially named the Fuller Building after the building's promoter George Fuller. Locals took an immediate interest in the building, placing bets on how far the debris would spread when the wind knocked it down and nicknaming it "the Flatiron" because of the building's resemblance to the irons of the day. The building is also said to have helped coin the phrase "23 skidoo" or scram, from what cops would shout at men who tried to get glimpses of women's dresses being blown up by the winds created by the triangular building.
Today the Flatiron is a home to several book publishers, most of them under the umbrella of Holtzbrinck Publishers. It was featured in the Spiderman movies as the office of the newspaper, the Daily Bugle.
The Ladies Mile Historic District, an irregular district defined roughly from 18th Street to 24th Street and Park Avenue South to Avenue of the Americas, preserves 440 buildings on 28 blocks. Between the Civil War and World War I, the district was the location of some of New York's most famous department stores, including Lord & Taylor, B. Altman, W. & J. Sloane, Arnold Constable, Best & Co., and Bergdorf Goodman. Also included is Daniel H. Burnham's Flatiron Building, at Fifth Avenue and 23rd Street; most of the Ladies' Mile Historic District lies within the Manhattan neighborhood named after that building, the Flatiron District.
In 2007, the Flatiron Building was ranked #72 on the AIA 150 America's Favorite Architecture list.
The Flatiron Building was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1966. The Ladies Mile Historic District was designated a historic district by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1989.

That modest dance school on the edge of Siem Reap town produced top dancers through the years. Doing their stretching exercise combined with the form of Cambodian Classical Ballet, the novice was trying to imitate the senior pupil here. This was 2010.
My last visit, most of the best dancers had been poached from this troupe by the better funded outfits like Smile of Angkor or big hotel show with promise of better pay. Capitalism at its best of course, so the school has scramed for more trainees in 2012. It's a sign of producing good products I supposed.
Ronald's words still rang in his ears as he made his way downtown. It was late. It was cold. He didn't care.
"You'll never be more than a supporting act, pal," Ronald had mumbled dismissively, cigarette bobbing between his ruby lips.
Grimace had protested. "There's more to me. Just give me a chance. People like me. Kids like me. I can-"
"People have no idea what the fuck you ARE," Ronald snapped. Grimace froze. He knew he'd entered dangerous territory. He knew never to push Ronald to the point of confrontation. And yet here they were, at the point of no return.
Beady little eyes peered into his from above layers upon layers of caked and cracking white makeup. "Listen to reality. Forget the kids. The parents have the money. The parents have to trust you. You know how hard it's been getting these Gen Xers to forget about that clown in Poltergeist and accept me as a someone they'd feel comfortable babysitting their little rugrats? Yeah, well it's been real fuckin' hard." He crushed the smoldering butt of his Camel out underneath a giant floppy shoe. "But at least they know what to call me. You, what are you. An amoeba? A gumdrop? You got nothing. Even Hamburgler -- and let's remember, he's based on THEFT. A MORTAL SIN. Even he'd have a better shot at hitting the big time than you because people can identify what the shit he is. Now scram. I got a massage in 10 minutes."
Grimace shook his head, snapping back to the present and trying to erase the scene from his head. Forget about it, he told himself. This'd work itself out soon enough. Meantime, he just needed to relax. Clear his head.
"Psst," came a voice from the shadows to his left. He recognized it. Looking over, he saw the silhouette in the shadows. He could faintly make out the scruffy beard and cardboard crown in the shrouded moonlight. He shuffled into the alley.
The gaunt figure held up a small plastic baggie. Crystals glistened within. "You look like you've had a night. How about you ... have it your way?"
Grimace's eyes flicked from the bag to the figure's face and back. "Yeah," he grumbled. He slipped a wad of bills into the shadowy man's other hand and snatched the baggie. "I think you could say I deserve a break today."

Vacuum tube transportation designed by EARL R. STONEBRIDGE.
If such a project is possible, it can avoid all government regulations in both nations by being contructed beyond the 12 mile limits of offshore monitoring, thus becoming a true project found by citizens of two nations. The tax issue can be avoided by sending the revenue to a bank that is not connected by any ties to either japan or the usa, thus making the entire trans-pacific project historical in nature. There would be many details to be worked out in a project of this scope. The matter of ferrying the passengers beyond the limits, the matter of visa and passport validations, etc, but the entire project is feasible and one that i imagine will become a reality within the next two decades

Flatiron Building: "Not well known among those not from the area, or not into historic architecture, the Flatiron Building is a favorite of New Yorkers and admirers around the world. Perhaps because it symbolizes so much of how New Yorkers see themselves -- Defiant, bold, sophisticated, and interesting. With just enough embedded grime and soot to highlight its details. The Flatiron's most interesting feature is its shape -- a slender hull plowing up the streets of commerce as the bow off a great ocean liner plows through the waves of its domain. The apex of the building is just six feet wide, and expands into a limestone wedge adorned with Gothic and Renaissance details of Greek faces and terra cotta flowers. The building has two claims to fame -- one architectural, the other cultural. Some consider the Flatiron Building to be New York City's first skyscraper. It certainly was one of the first buildings in the city to employ a steel frame to hold up its 285-foot tall facade, but not the first. Some felt its shape (like a flatiron) was less artistic and more dangerous. They thought it would fall over, and during construction the Flatiron Building was nicknamed "Burnham's Folly." The building's cultural legacy is a little more interesting and has passed into the local social consciousness as a fable. It is said that the building created unusual eddies in the wind which would cause women's skirts to fly around as they walked on 23rd street. This attracted throngs of young men who gathered to view the barelegged spectacle. Police would try to disperse these knots of heavy-breathers by calling to them, "23 Skidoo." This phrase has passed out of common usage, but its descendant, the word "scram" remains in a back corner of the American lexicon." - www.glasssteelandstone.com
We've got some GREAT pet items right now! Get 'em while they're hot! The first 2 pictures show a Sofa Scram scat mat. We have 2 of them! If your cat or dog stands on it, it makes a noise to make them "scat". Great for teaching them to stay off of the furniture, counters, stove... And the Orange Emergency Vet Fund has a great exercise pen available for sale! And we currently have a couple of small pens and even a car ramp to make it easier for your seniors to get in and out of the car. It's lightweight, and holds up to 400 lbs! And a couple of "critter" cages -- for your rabbit, or guinea pig, or other small critter. And for humans, look at the selection of scrubs that has come in this week!!! And a very nice surround for your electric fireplace. Perfect, now that the freezing temperatures are here!

Next time you're found, with your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned, so look around
Just what makes that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant
But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So any time you're gettin' low
'stead of lettin' go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant
When troubles call, and your back's to the wall
There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall
Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram
He kept buttin' that dam
but he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So any time you're feelin' bad
'stead of feelin' sad
Just remember that ram
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam
All problems just a toy balloon
They'll be bursted soon
They're just bound to go pop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop
Oops, there goes another problem kerplop
Oops, there goes another problem kerplop
Kerplop!

I don't know what it was the bleeding or the exhaustion. Whatever it was, it made me lose consciousness. When I woke up, I was still being dragged around by two ninjas. The wound on my arm was at least wrapped up. Still, some of my ribs are no doubt broken, something in my leg is out of place, there's some swelling around the left side of my face. To be honest, I'm a bit surprised this was all. Hell, I'm lucky to be alive. But I don't care. All I care about right now is Steph. I need to be there for her right now, no matter how busted up I am. And these Mortal Kombat rejects aren't gonna stop me.
"Let me go...now. I'm not asking again..."
"Be quiet, child!"
"So that's how it is..."
Can't say I didn't warn them. I was a struggle, and I hurt all over doing it, but I was able to weasel my arms out of their grip and slam the back of my fists in their noses as hard as I could. I hit hard enough that something in their faces at least came loose, so their pain was enough to distract them. They weren't very well trained, I guess. Now that I was out of their grip, I grab the backs of their heads and slam their skulls together. I let the go and they fall to the floor out cold. Then I let out a pained grunt and fall to my knees as something in my chest switch places. It wasn't jut a sharp pain either. It was the kind that lingers and makes you feel horrible for a good 20-30 seconds before it gives out. Injuries...just a setback. Not gonna stop me from getting to Steph. Neither was Talia, who was blocking my path when I recovered from the pain.
"Timothy, you must be reasonable. Let us help you, you're injured!"
"You think that-*ah!*-that's gonna stop me? Get out of my way unless you wanna end up like these guys."
"Why are you doing this to yourself? You've passed the first trial, you've already proven your strength. There's no reason to go on."
"Yeah, there is. I gotta be there for her..."
'What are you thinking? This is her challenge, not yours. You can't help her."
"I never said help. I just don-*ugh*- just don't want her alone. Now scram."
"Stubborn like a mule. Just as he is..."
She starts walking towards me. Well, I warned her. I take a swing at her, aiming for a nerve cluster in the side of her neck. She grabs my hand before I make the hit,though. Instead of kicking my ass, though, she puts my arm around the back of her neck and starts walking me to were I was gonna go.
"The hell are you doing?"
"Stephanie's Trial is a long walk from here. You'll collapse before you get off this floor."
"You're helping me?"
"You have to be there. You said it yourself."
"Thank you..."
Dope Folks (2018)
Every Wednesday, in honor of Ed Lover Dance Day from Yo! MTV Raps, I take a break from rock and roll to write a little bit about hip hop. In the late 80s and early 90s hip hop ruled my musical life. During this often called 'Golden Era' I discovered so much incredible music. As I am slowly replacing the CDs I've had for twenty-five plus years with vinyl copies, I'm going to talk about some albums that had a really important impact on me during some very formative years.
Kaotic Style seemed to have mostly been active in the 1990-1996 era and only really had a few underground singles to their name. They aren't a group I ever heard about back then as my only exposure to hip hop where I lived was Yo! MTV Raps and The Source. I'm not going to say it was out of the question that they may have gotten one of their EPs written up in The Source at some point, but I certainly do not remember it.
Dope Folks is one of those great labels that are digging deep to find the forgotten gems of early 90s hip hop. They've put out some really interesting releases, though I have to say that this Kaotic Style record may be my favorite of the bunch. The production is really strong with interesting samples, some familiar, some not, but all used in a really cool way.
Lyrically, the two main MCs (Big Grand and Scram) can hang with all but the elite of golden era lyricists. They're not out of this world wordsmiths, but they are both steady, creative and more than hold their own over the excellent beats they are working with.
The only thing about this LP that I think is odd is that the song "Intro" is at the beginning of the second side instead of starting off the album. I assume that's to maintain the integrity of the track order of the EP version of this that originally came out in '94, but it strikes me as being kind of weird from a flow standpoint. That minor critique aside, this is definitely a record worth checking out if you're looking for new-to-you golden era tunes.
Kaotic Style - A Diamond in the Ruff (This is just the 5 songs from the EP that came out in 94, this LP has 10 songs in total):
Immature Black-crowned Night Heron looking a bit defiant. This is a very big crop and I'm surprised it doesn't look more grainy than this. The herons (these and greens) are starting to show up here and about now. I'm hoping to get some better shots before they scram :)
Monday ... what can I say? It's over!! Ha, just kidding, it wasn't really half bad for a Monday.
i think i am going to write a tumblr of all my favorite Frasier quotes, because I'm reading through them on my sticky note and I can't stop laughing.
Niles: I still remember the night of my juinor prom. Ugh. Dad wanted to get a nice close-up of me and Margaret Couver. Unfortunately, he got a little too close, and the heat from the flash seared the gold plating off Margarent's necklace onto her skin.
Daphne: You never mentioned Margaret Couver before.
Niles: I didn't? Margaret Couver. Petite. Brunette. Gilded.
Daphne: Who knows Roz, maybe you'll meet some english lord who'll make you a lady.
Niles: I think at this point, it would take the actual lord to make her a lady.
Niles: The bookcase is a secret door, dad.
Martin: How to i open it?
Niles: Just poke Mrs. Dalloway on the bottom.
(Daphne found the engagement ring Martin was going to give to Sherry) See what i get for confiding in you two blabbermouths! The next time i find something interesting your father's underwear drawer, i'm just gonna sit on it!
NIles: Just count to ten and then scram, so Maris and i can celebrate the way a man and his wife were meant to.
*looks out door*
Niles: She's started without me.
Others: Ewwwww.
Niles: Drinking the champagne.
Daphne: Clive? Did he sound British?
Frasier: No, he was one of those fiery Mexican Clives.
Greatest. Show. Ever.
