It brought to mind a completely (AFAIK) uninstantiated object: a Southern history Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band parody album cover.

Beau did the driving, not Luke!"

Off to go put my head in the microwave.

He went on to share it with his officemate.

The officemate says, "It would be British. . . ."

(He says, "She would know. Her SO is British.")

It does have a certain ineffable Monty Python Animationness about it.

I sent the link to Brooks with your descriptive text. He responded to the descriptive text with "Also, and perhaps at least as important, the power to distribute it" and said I could relay this critically important elaboration. ;)

A really hilarious and awful site that leads to similar stuff is http://www.b3ta.com . Not for the easily offended.

Trey, are those the guys who did the animation of the viking kittens?

We were poring over the CD section, and I was gazing with some interest on the first Rhino "Appalachian Stomp" collection. Elaine wandered over and asked what I was looking at.

"Well, this seems interesting to me, somehow. It has the basics of bluegrass on it. The ones everybody knows, and a bunch more. See, here's The Ballad of Jed Clampett, and Foggy Mountain Breakdown, and Dueling Banjos..."

"That's my brother," Elaine (nee Elaine Goodman) said. Sure enough, Steve Goodman is the banjo half of the piece.

Well, to make a long story short, "the end."

Elaine Stiles is Elaine Goodman Stiles as in Steve Goodman? How have I missed knowing this?

I needed that. I think.

But I wanted to see the penguin and chipmunk catch up to Burt and, um, oh never mind.

A DSL connection is recommended. Here's the link.

The original Viking Kittens animation is gone from that site (I speculate due to rights issues with the Led Zeppelin song) and has been replaced by an interesting song called "Gay Bar". The original version can, however, be found at this site.

How have I missed knowing this?

By not going record shopping with Steve and Elaine, I'd guess. That's the only way I found out, and I've even been to a seder with her mom without hearing of it. Modest lot.
