To pay tribute to the late, great rock star, this is a video created by stop motion animator Thomas J Yagodinski of a Jawa performing Van Halen’s ‘Eruption’ on a custom made 16-inch Frankenstrat. Thomas made both the Jawa and the miniature Frankenstrat for the video, which was a treat to watch. Now we just need to take this act to Mos Eisley and start making some serious space-bucks! We can even get the original Mos Eisley band to open for him. “Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes?” Huh? “That’s the name of the band.” The ones with the mosquito heads? “I guess?” Forget it *snatching flyers* you’ll never make it as a promoter in this galaxy.

Thanks to my dad, who agrees you’re never too young, or old, to rock.

Note: Keep your volume down.

Because everybody needs a hobby and some people own planes, this is a video of pilot and short takeoff and landing (STOL) competitor Steve Henry using his Wild West Aircraft Highlander plane with Edge Performance EPeX Yamaha engine and 15-20MPH winds to successfully land in 16.5-feet, then take off in only 2.5-feet. For reference, my– “Let me guess, penis is longer and wider?” I mean I don’t want him trying to land that plane on it, but yes.

In coral reef and chill news, this is a 12-hour Youtube video of one of the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s coral reef exhibits, featuring a variety of tropical fishes doing their thing (swimming). It’s nice and relaxing. I just sort of zoned out watching it for the last half hour. I got some comfortable I felt like I was a merman just laying amongst the coral, watching all my fish friends swim by. I even started naming them all. Well, okay — I named all the clownfish Nemo and all the blue tangs Dory and stopped there.

This is a short video from web developer and Twitter user @HeyItsTowler of an enclosed cat bed he added eyes to, creating what appears to be a cat-eating cat bed. A great idea, and I’m going to add giant googly eyes to my cat bed. Granted my cat never gets in his cat bad because he’d rather sleep in the sink, but I will put him in there and try to take a video. He won’t have any part of it, and the next time I see one of those ‘Who Rescued Who?’ magnets on the back of a car it will be crystal clear in my mind I rescued him and he’s done nothing to show his appreciation. I was doing just fine before!

This is a video of chef Andrew Rea from Youtube channel Binging With Babish recreating the ‘Bachelor Chow’ that Fry eats in Futurama, making what’s basically a human-grade dehydrated dog food chow of a beef chuck roast and vegetables, that can be poured into a bowl and rehydrated with water for consumption. Weird, I see advertisements for human grade dog food pop up on my social media and targeted internet ads all the time. Although, honestly *chewing on Pup-Peroni* I assumed if you can keep it down without puking and the diarehha isn’t that bad, isn’t it all human-grade? I mean I eat alleged human-grade food regularly that gives me way worse diarehha than any dog food I’ve ever had. You know who you are! *makes heart-shaped symbol with hands over own heart, blows kiss at Taco Bell*

This is a video of DJ Jody Flemming performing a live streaming techno and house music set during quarantine when a large black bear comes to his storm door demanding backstage access, presumably after confusing Jody for DJ Goldilocks and planning to exact revenge on her furniture. Per Youtube commenter RobotSlug:

Must have been Smokey the bear, cuz that beat was FIRE.

That beat was not fire, but that still could have been Smokey anticipating a potential FUTURE fire. Like when the beat drops. After all, Smokey does have a smokey sense not unlike Spider-Man’s spidey sense. “Is that true?” Would I lie to you? “Do bears shit in the woods?” I don’t think so, those Charmin bears have bathrooms just like we do.
