SHAKIN’
Paleo Retiree nominates the clip above as one of the high points of Western civilization, and its hard to disagree with the assessment. The Gazzarri Dancers are performing behind the Bobby Fuller Four, and the tallest of them is blond De De Mollner. PR interviews her at Uncouth Reflections here — Shakin‘.

GO-GO DANCING
That’s the legendary Gazzarri Dancers in the video above, performing behind Dee Dee Sharp. Over at Uncouth Reflections, Paleo Retiree takes a serious look at a seriously fun and seriously under-appreciated art form.
THE BOAT TO NOWHERE
C’EST LA LUTTE FINALE
Might be time to wheel out this old anthem again, minus the vile ideology that once co-opted it. With a nod to Tom Sutpen . . .
A NATIONAL DISGRACE
. . . that people like Saxby Chambliss serve in the United States Senate. Let us visit scorn and contempt on him and his issue until the end of time.
A NATIONAL DISGRACE
. . . that people like Richard Burr serve in the United States Senate. Let us visit scorn and contempt on him and his issue until the end of time.
DONKEY DICK
A question that should be asked of every United States Senator, under oath — “If the NRA demanded it, would you give a blow-job to a donkey?”
Obviously a willingness to suck donkey dick for money does not disqualify a person from serving in the United States Senate, but shouldn’t this willingness be a matter of public record?
A NATIONAL DISGRACE
. . . that people like John Boozman serve in the United States Senate. Let us visit scorn and contempt on him and his issue until the end of time.
A NATIONAL DISGRACE
. . . that people like Roy Blunt serve in the United States Senate. Let us visit scorn and contempt on him and his issue until the end of time.
A GREAT NEW REVIEW
Very Enjoyable Reading
Who says the short story is dead? I gave this collection of fourteen stories a try, although I hadn’t read any “western” fiction since Lonesome Dove. Mr. Fonvielle does the genre proud with realism, stark situations and conflict, and endings that often are not what you’d expect. His characters often speak in crisp Victorian language that reminded me of several John Wayne movies. In fact, I think the dialogue is my favorite part of the collection. But don’t misunderstand: he depicts frontier living with its lawlessness, whores, brutality, saloons, scalpings, and the rest, so it’s not for the fainthearted. The stories vary in length from just 2-3 pages up to 20-30. I was disappointed when I got to the end. Give it a look.
