  1. I’ve broken your fiendish code, Blair - You’ve got the horn for a girl in a red dress who lives in Glenelg.

  2. That Hemi Siren is just what every man’s shed needs to tell him and his mates it Beer O’clock.

  5. As alluring as she is, this Glenelg lady would be committing social suicide to take it any further with the ne’erdowell from Werribee.

  12. I bought a Ralph Lauren bag (Equestrian bag).

    3 Tommy shirts and a pair of his pants. Mind you, I bought my kool mum an Armani watch for a present. Well, I went a little over the top today.

  17. The engine used in the Cold War model Chrysler Air Raid Siren is virtually the same 331 Hemi FirePower engine used in 1951, 1952 and 1953 Chrysler cars like the Saratoga, New Yorker and Imperial.

    Recall seeing one in an (Oz) international comms facility (built mid-50s) in the mid-80s ... guess our military had ‘em, too?

    Am told concrete mixers of the era used Hemi 318 V8s to turn the mixer.

  22. Always wondered how those sirens worked.  In my hometown they housed it at the VFW hall and set it off twice daily.  Noon for the “daily test” and 10 p.m. to tell the teens that it was curfew.  Not that we cared about curfew.

  23. #14 OMG I had cupcakes today too!  Real flash ones from the stall in the Woolworth’s pavilion at the Ekka.  And I am as big a skeptic as IT too!

  30. #29 I just love Weird Al. I learned the hard way not to put on his videos when I’m supposed to be taking a full face cast of someone.

    It’s a messy job that requires careful attention and you can’t look after your model when you’re falling over laughing. The poor fellow thought we’d forgotten him at times!

  35. #31, apologist,

    I had no knowledge of the Tom Waits clip. I’ve always though he was brilliant. I was just a little knee knocker when that was filmed. Thank you very much for that.

    I have not known of Stagger Lee. That was exceptional. Will look for more of them.

    Justin Timberlake. blecchhh.

  39. #35, pogria,

    yeah, I’m not a fan of Timberlake either, but that version of that song just kills me. The same guys cover Akon’s Smack That. It’s not as good though. That Timberlake cover was actually how I first discovered Stagger Lee doing Bad Shoes. I think the hillbilly band doing the Timberlake cover are also called Stagger Lee.

  51. 54 or 68?

    I prefer the latter myself. Still looked good. Two years later though the 70’s will have set in very badly and you won’t find him without an annoying gaggle of backup singers. Yech. I was born in ‘76, but there is no doubt the 70’s sucked. Plus, that’s the decade the curtain came down for the final time.

    Weird Al is indeed brilliant.  I’ve been a fan of his since the “Eat It” take off on Michael Jackson’s “Beat It.”

    Trivia: Eddie Van Halen did the guitar solo on Beat It, and Rick Derringer spoofed him with genius on Eat It.  The best musical caracature of another’s style EVAR.

  71. #56 The first two vids were awesome, but I’m still trying to figure out what that third one was doing in there. 

    I suspect TimB is trying to win someone back (surely to no avail) by showing off his sensitive, vulnerable emotional side. Hold back the tears, TimB. Be strong Timbo (timbo is swahili for elephant so draw strength from that).  Don’t forget that your next chance for another one in a million girl is only 1,000,000 girls away.

    Also, Maria McKee did have a record titled “You Gotta Sin to Get Saved” which can be a pretty good excuse for almost any occasion.

    BTW, 1.618 I updated my list of fine qualities the other day. Unfortunately, I think that now I’ve run out of impressive things to say about myself. If I become less boring or if I think of anything else, I’ll let you know.
