Happy 4th o' July weekend!

Weekend smoke.

My first smoke of the summer. This is a 12 lb. boston butt already pulled after I smoked it over the weekend. Turned out pretty tasty. Injected with marinade and seasonings. Put in smoker for 14 hours at 215 degrees. FTC wrap. Fell off the bone.

True.

Except for the fact that there is no job security.

This doesn't look like a Weapon of Mass Destruction to me.

Hmm...click title and read the article. While your at it, read between the lines. This is the reason Bushy boy had sent the troops. Not WMD's. You can't tell me Darth Cheney isn't dipping his toes in the iraq black gold. Hell, he's swimming in it. Too much blood for oil IMHO.

Sunday funnies.

Big Fish Friday.

Yeah...thats me. Yeah...i worked up a sweat pulling that hoss into the boat.

Chinese Democracy

This guy has been holed up basically since 1992 working on an album that even the Dr. Pepper suits don't think will ever come out. Well, supposebly (i got a buddy that says supposebly instead of supposedly...props KM!), these are some tracks that have leaked on this here internets. Click title and take a listen to "better." Did it really take him the better part of 16 years to write/produce this?
Keep in mind that when he started:
Internet had yet to exist as we all know it.
ProTools....wha????
Gibson hadn't put out that guitar that teaches itself yet.
Who's Velvet Revolver?

Let me introduce to you...Torquenstein.

This machine is serious about road rallies. Click title. Enjoy.

John Prine signed this guy to his record label. I would have to...if I had a record label.

Honey, we've got company

This fella appeared in my backyard Friday before last. I snapped this pic with my cell phone at around 8 am. By the time 3 pm rolled around, he was still hanging out back there.

Office lingo hand jive.

Nice little article on workplace lingo and phrases non of us should ever use again. Click title.

My old boss used to use the term, "You can't beat farts out of a dead mule," OUTLOUD during big executive meetings while I was working for a large blue chip fortune 100 company. He didn't give a shit.

I love that guy.

I'm out.

We here at Floatysworld are on temporary hiatus. Stay tuned as we might update you while on our journey. Wish you were here.

From the looks of the map, it looked like the camera zoomed in somewhere on Interstate 540...probably around Rudy.

R.I.P. BO

Guitarist George Thorogood, a Diddley disciple, put it bluntly.

"[Chuck Berry's] 'Maybellene' is a country song sped up," Thorogood told Rolling Stone in 2005. " 'Johnny B. Goode' is blues sped up. But you listen to 'Bo Diddley,' and you say, 'What in the Jesus is that?' "

Webbies.

Ok...here are some of the websites I have been perusing over that past couple of weeks. Of course, lets not forget the great sites just to the left of this post. Enjoyable reading can always be found on TMFW, strangepup, and The Arkansas Times blogs.

Big Fish Friday.

Is this where we're headed?

Remember this movie? The Road Warrior featuring Mel Gibson. His breakout role. A great fantasy movie depicting a world where gas is at such a premium that people will kill for it.
This movie might have been ahead of its time. Let's hope fantasy doesn't become reality.
With Mel's drinking problem, I don't think he should get behind the wheel.
