This gallery of photos from the Moccasin Bar in Hayward, Wisconsin (just a skip and a holler down the road from me), demonstrate that, unlike bad album covers, there's no such thing as too many scenes of anthropomorphic taxidermy.
Take for example this fine group of Bavarian chipmunks enjoying smokes, hoisting a couple of Massbiers, and singing a chorus or two of Blau Blüht Der Enzian.
Prost!

I ran across a bit of ancient history this morning that I'd almost forgotten; this promotional CD for the Silicon Graphics Octane workstation that contained 5 hilariously bad songs written and performed by actual SGI employees, singing the praises of the aforementioned chunk of mid-range graphics iron. The standout track here is "I Have A Dream" a soaring ballad that employs unforgettable lyrics like:
I have one dream
And it's called 2 CPUs
What this will mean
Is no more desktop blues
I have a dream
And it's called a crossbar switch
What this will mean
Is no big data glitch
I actually received this CD back in 1997, and promptly threw it in the trash (just like I did with everything I got from SGI marketing that I couldn't wear). I wish I'd kept it now. Sort of. As dumb as it is, it reminds me of a time when they were still the gold standard of computer graphics.

Finally, a set of effects pedals that guitarists can really use!

I used to wonder if there was such a thing as too many bad album covers. Now I know that the answer is yes, oh sweet Pele on a pogo stick, yes.
