I had a cat that would hump blankets. It didn't matter if anyone was using the blanket in a more conventional way, like sleeping under it.

Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

Fluent would be overly generous, but I know a guy:

Which led to making a fairly large poster for a dog and pony show that said guy presented at. Which in turn lead to a bonus that "unexpectedly" paid out the same week my then new bass arrived, and somehow covered the balance due amount perfectly. The majority of the people I worked with were degreed biologists. I essentially knew nothing, beyond who to ask. Sometimes that's enough.
For awhile I was an instrument scientist working with the USGS. We did primarily geochronology. My boss, though, noted that 'hard rock' geology was not necessarily fitting in with the direction the Survey was headed in around the turn of the century, so went out to find new customers. We ended up doing a bunch of otolith work, spatially resolving the chemical composition of the 'earbones' in hopes of fingerprinting these salmons' lives, the better to get a feel for various populations' migration, breeding grounds, etc. Biologists are different from volcanologists I learned. Or at least their vocabularies are.
Did you make the ultrasound source, pulser, and antenna that made the l'i'l fishies flinch?
And I think knowing of whom to ask questions will get you 50% there, to pull an arbitrary number out of the air.

^ spoken for truth.
Unless, of course, you are the one who holds all the cards
Pawwed People.
I love SOS! proof that I'm strange.
Any Buckaroo Banzai reference is an automatic "like" from me.
Putney Swope says the script has got to have SOUL!
A friend sent this to me. Pretty good for a bunch of GOFs.
I consider "Spork" deceptive and "pork offal" repellent.
Early report: No gigs for our regular group this weekend, off to visit family in Orlando area. Back in time for Sunday afternoon outdoor open mic/jam, noon 'til T-storms.
Enjoy your visit. Just nod and agree with everyone. Never lay the first blow.

Wave 'hi' to my many sisters-in-law in Stuart as you drive by (if that's your route). And drive safely, please.
Recorded at Abbey Road in 1960, Johnny Kidd & Pirates were way ahead of their time.
A timeless song, that’s fun to play and bop to.

Well there's a new punk band name if there ever was. Pork Offal. Hate them on sight. Nothing like a big old night of hate down at the old sheet metal plant, I always say.
And never point your bass at anyone.
Because driving like a maniac is utterly normal in most places. So seen: watching traffic in Milan is some of the finest free entertainment EVAH. However, watching Hollywood Boulevard on any Saturday night is all that, plus an extra dash of weirdness. Mind the gap!
1960???? Gadzooks, I would guessed '63 or '64.

This springs to mind immediately
(well after recollection of those globby two dimensional jacks figures that seemed to grace every VW Kombi. )
Not sure when the video was produced but the song was recorded May 3, 1960, written by Johnny Kidd. Mini skirts had not risen to prominence in 1960. Bands tended to not record their own material at the time.

In 1960, a reviewer couldn’t specify a 0-60mph time because they couldn’t get it up to that speed.
