Got to Have It

From Rotten.com via Boing Boing, here’s a collection of horrible skin diseases from The Stereoscopic Skin Clinic, a New York-published 1911 atlas of 3-D medical photos – rendered as 32 hypnotically vibrating, creepy-crawly GIFs.

If, after that, you need to cleanse your mental palate (and who could blame you?), simply click on Marilyn Maxwell’s dreamy face on the right and watch the delightful 1942 short “Dreamsville, Ohio” starring Charles “Buddy” Rogers and Biff Morgan & his Cats.

Finally, more audio hilarity in the form of the legendary Bacon & Eggs Watch call – by a brilliant chain-jerk who sometimes went by the names Persimmon or Peach, and her unnamed boyfriend/husband. This epic bit of nonsense takes us back to the sad historical period when the Swatch company had a Beanie Baby-like buyer’s frenzy going on the collectables market. (Yep, that’s how I achieved my millions.) Answering an ad by an enterprising young couple who are hawking the newest limited-edition breakfast-themed Swatch timepiece, phone-sex veteran Persimmon and her amoral partner spend a half hour playing the speculators like a double bass, dragging them through improbable deals, lesbian come-ons, tears, insinuendos, bizarre Tourettes-style outbursts (“take the rose out of your ass!”) and escalating accusations of sexual impropriety. We promised this mp3 to ol’ Berliner chum Wi11iam13 a couple of weeks back, so here.

For the next couple of weeks I’ll be preparing for a 10-day visit to Tokyo, home to a few Toe Stubber fans, where I will be open to offers of food, sex or future employment. You can’t miss me. Fiery red hair. I’ll be wearing a dashiki.
