hypnotosov comments that “a band named \\\Maytag uses refrigerator sounds as the basis for ambient black metal” and I could not resist delving deeper into this revelation; nor could many others, it seems.
Indeed, the “music” that resulted from their efforts is suitably majestic for this blog. CoverFeast your ears on this gem that is awesomely entitled “The Saga of the Frostbitten Lands of Frigidaire”:
And if that’s not enough aural assault for you, they are on Myspace; rejoice! I’m more of a “Frost Hammer” metalhead man myself, but I can appreciate a song like “I’m On a Fridge.”
In other news that is cold off the presses, here is an explanation of the phenomenon of freezer burn. And a Burning Man event held in the frigid wastes of Alberta, called Freezer Burn. Well I didn’t know of these things, anyway! I am learning as I go. No Siberian sage am I. Amazing what you can learn when you google random phrases. Just stay away from subjects like freeze-dried pets if you know what’s good for your sanity. Or don’t. Some sojourns down the rabbit hole are not meant to be taken.
To fit with the randomness and WTF-ness that infests this post, ponder this picture. I’ll discuss it in the next post.
What's In John's Freezer? 
That picture would actually make an awesome album cover for a Fridge Metal band.
As for what it is… looks like research on locomotion in cursorial birds. the rear portion of a cassowary?
Hehe yeah it would make a great cover… but the identification I will keep a mystery for now and let people try to figure out.
You have one of the most interesting blogs I’ve had the pleasure to read. I’m eager to discover what that birdlike hunk of bones and musculature is!

Aww, thanks Kim, you’re too kind! I’ll try to keep it interesting and fun.
Is anybody else hungry?
Those crazy legs sure look like they could dish out a mean dance.
Kangaroo or wallaby, but not a bird for sure.
Hmmm interesting answers; keep em coming! The Grand Reveal will come later this week.
But if it’s a kangaroo shouldn’t we be seeing it’s caudal vertebrae sticking out of the stump?
I don’t work in biology and I’m far from an expert but that musculature looks mammalian to me. In fact, it looks quite a bit like the kangaroo steak that I ate last night. The side-on view makes it hard to see, but the feet do have a macropod look to them, so I’m going to say a kangaroo of some sort (eastern grey if I have to be specific).
Anybody else hungry?
[…] it’s time for the Grand Reveal of what the picture in the previous post is (reproduced below). The guesses ranged from bird to wallaby/kangaroo to the stuff of nightmares. […]
[…] here is the current scoreboard, as promised last time; starting from this post […]
