Basement Cat made me post this!
Top Gear dubs the Yugo 45 “the second worst car ever built.” More about Zastava Automobiles here.
Top Gear Yugo 45
Uploaded by MasterZeeeee on Aug 17, 2009
Kako su englezi opisali cuveni Yugo45. Auto je testirao Jeremy Clarkson, voditelj emisije TopGear. Ovo je njegov utisak o jedinom srpskom automobilu koji su ikada testirali.
The Yugo Sana a/k/a “Yugo Florida” got a much better review. The US/NATO wars against Serbia made it impossible to continue making and selling the car. The original Zastava factory was totally destroyed in the 1999 bombing of Serbia.

Peugeot has unveiled the BB1 Concept car which is not really a car. Dubbed “a totally new solution to the current and future needs of urban mobility”, the BB1 combines the utility of a car and the flexibility of a quad bike.

In a Yugo – A liberal guy n gal buy a Yugo (In the Ghetto)

A liberal guy and a liberal gal buy a Yugo. “In a Yugo” Lyrics:
As the snow fliesAt a used car lot on the edge of town
A liberal guy and a liberal gal
Buy a YugoAnd they drive with pride
Cause if there’s one thing that this world needs
It’s environmental friends who’ll take the lead
In a YugoThey say, “people don’t you understand
Those suburbans are ruining the land”
But they’ll wish they had a full size van one day
They point fingers at you and me
They say we’re too blind to see
But do we simply use our heads
And choose another way?As those small wheels turn
Fifty miles to the gallon
And their knees on their chest
They’re gonna save enough gas
For all of the rest
In a YugoThen one day on the interstate
They suddenly lose control
They swerve to miss a baby duck
They’re squashed beneath a produce truckBut they drove with pride…
And as the crowds drive past a little flat car
You know they saved a lot of gas
But they didnt get far
In a YugoAnd as they’re trapped inside
At a used car lot on the other side of town
A liberal guy and a liberal gal
Buy a Yugo….And they drive with pride…
Many viewers have posted comments stating that the car used in the video is not a Yugo. Unfortunately after several weeks of searching for a Yugo, one could not be located for filming. It was decided that instead of re-writing the song, to just go ahead and use another small car as the main idea behind the parody is not really about a Yugo. Apologies to all Yugo enthusiasts.

Walsall man arrested for wearing balaclava dons burkha to court
(h/t: Gates of Vienna)
A PROLIFIC thief arrested for wearing a balaclava and gloves arrived at court in a burkha to protest his innocence.
Posing for pictures outside Cannock Magistrates Court, Walsall man David Holmes said: “I’m not against the burkha, it’s the principle. Why can I wear this and not a balaclava?
“It’s the same thing. The police only arrested me because of my previous convictions. They are abusing their powers,” he added…

As if all that were not enough…
Another dude of the criminal persuasion wore an Obama mask to rob a Michigan bank. (Insert joke here.)
Caturday Sunday Evening Edition: Cats in Motion

It’s that day again…
The 1389 Blog team, myself included, has been putting up some grim fare on the blog lately, on the topic of man’s inhumanity to man. Some of it is too over-the-top horrifying to re-post on Blogmocracy. It has to be fully documented with photos, videos and eyewitness narratives, because nobody would believe it otherwise.
Suffice it to say that this effort has not put me into much of a mindset to do the usual Caturday post. I know what kind of nightmares I can expect to have tonight. I was tempted to claim that the dog ate my homework, and just let Caturday go for the week, but thought better of it on the grounds that we really need to lighten things up a bit.
At least I did tear myself away from the computer long enough to feed El Gato and La Gata. No, unlike the white cat gracefully rolling off the table, they don’t come running at the sound of an electric can opener, mainly because we live in a motorhome and have no room for such things. There’s no point in spending money on bulky motorized tools for tasks I can perform just as easily by hand. And nearly all cat food cans these days have pull-tab tops anyway.
This animated .gif shows flagrant misuse of office supplies to torment an unfortunate kitty. This kitty may start looking for ways to make the human’s office supplies disappear.
Just sayin’.
In this B&W .gif, the dog pounces on the cat, and the cat chases him down the road. It’s just some harmless play-fighting; good exercise for feline and canine friends. This is a mother dog who is feeding a nest of puppies somewhere; maybe she needs a break!
From a Russian site:
Watch this fluffy orange cat run on his hind legs!
Have you ever changed your bed linens, only to find that your cat has gotten between your mattress and your fitted sheet? This is how it looks like from the cat’s perspective!
