WTF Wednesday: Food Raps, Football Bunny, Stripper Spaniel

Good morning, Wednesday! Good morning, WTF!

Let’s begin with a music video some friends made for a rap project called Food Raps – they rap about food. This may not be appropriate for the very young or the very sensitive: South of the Border



Featuring  Chad Galactic, Vitamin D (Dave Brogan of ALO), and animated by Josh Clark (Tea Leaf Green) – there’s a whole lotta WTF goin on there. I hope their next food rap is about nuts, because that’s what they are.  An entire CD filled with food raps may be found here.

Moving on to vintage WTFery, here’s a quarterback bunny, with holes cut in the helmet for his ears.

Another totally normal Easter-inspired figurine.

A very old jewelry box with a cocker spaniel who appears to be stripping? A mink stole?

Last but not least, a pair of cats in a blanket.  Watching you, always watching you.

As with all wtf wednesdays, there are no answers, only questions leading to more questions.

Behind the T-shirt: San Nicolas Island Sweatshirt

I found this 70’s San Nicolas Island souvenir hoody sweatshirt recently, and never having heard of the place, did some googling.

Turns out it’s one of the Channel Islands off the coast of central California, known for the story of Juana Maria, the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island.

Basically in the 1830s, her island was invaded by Russian fur trappers, and then soon evacuated by missionaries from Santa Barbara, but she somehow missed the boat.  She survived on San Nicolas Island alone for 20 years, in a hut made of whale bones, until she was found and brought over to Santa Barbara in 1853, where she smiled and and sang songs and was very happy, by all accounts.

Until she died 7 weeks later from dysentery.

High Sierra Music Festival jammed on this past weekend in California.

I was not there, but a slew of Skippy Haha Vintage shirts made the trip.

Behold members of ALO and Tea Leaf Green happily sporting SHV torso shields on stage.

dogs like them too!


big thanks to betsylife for sharing a yearful of puppy pics!

pouncey approves too.

the dachshund i think is named boozer. i have no real life experience with dachshunds (weiner dogs), though i know that one of them bit kevin in the nose when he was a little kid. so now i think they’re pretty funny and awesome.

check out betsylife for more puppy pictures, great recipes, and moooooore! 

*ps – dogs were enticed into kissing olive through the magic of coconut oil.
