On an internet overflowing with cute cat pics and videos, it takes a particularly clever approach to receive a thumbs up from me. More times than not, material in this vein are more likely to inspire me to hunt down and severely bludgeon the individual responsible for starting this revolting craze.

For the last few years, I've dabbled in pizza making, but never managed to come up with a crust that I thought was worthy of much praise -- until I found this recipe, that is.

Warning: The pictures will make your mouth water.

Consisting of John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, and Mitch Mitchell, The Dirty Mac was assembled for the T.V. special entitled Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, recorded on December 11, 1968. It was the first time that Lennon had performed without The Beatles.

This ill-fated concert never aired, but was released as a CD and film in 1996, I believe.

An amazing performance! What a group of musicians!
