7803 – mope mope monkeys on a bike!!

Still feeling a little mopey, and more than a little like a cave-bear. I’m really just not in the mood for interaction with loud, noisy little peeps today. Both Friday and Monday have been cranky workdays. Today would do well to change the pattern.

Usually, Autumn will lower gravity, not raise it.


Poor Herm got her ankle hurt on vacation… I hope she’s feeling better soon. Sweeties shouldn’t get owies.


A group of children, all wearing ape masks, rides their bicycles to the park for a picnic. Along the way, all but one are eliminated for violating basic bike safety rules.

One Got Fat: Bicycle Safety (1963)

Edward Everett Horton narrates. Mr. Horton provided the wonderful narration for Jay Ward’s Fractured Fairy Tales on the Rocky & Bullwinkle Show, too.

Best Bike safety film, ever. I love how they keep getting killed, but the rest continue on to picnic. Nelly was cute when angry, but Filbert is my favorite demise.

See also the remixed trance music video. Hooray for open source!
