Yo!

This is the anniversary of the yo-yo (1929). Enjoy:



And, when you're done enjoying that, try this one -- this guy will blow your mind:

It's Yokolicious!

It's Yoko Ono's birthday today -- and, wow, get this: she is 75 years old today. That just seems unbelievable to me, but the math works out.

I love Yoko, doggone it. Always have. Many people who find this out about me thinks that makes me a kook, but some terrific people agree with me. Don't be caught in the nonsense of the popular press; think for yourself (i.e., agree with me!): Yoko is -- and always has been -- totally cool.

SHRIEK!!!

Los Beatles arrived in America on this date, 1964. (Thanks to the strange and brilliant Don Martin for this image, which I "borrowed" but I can't remember from whence.)
