At the Porcupine Racetrack…
I hereby dub the render progress bar the “Porcupine Racetrack.” This lets you cheer it on with cries of “Go, you porcupines, go!” (It feels particularly apt right now, when as I write a humble 1.33GHz iBook–for various reasons, the only computer in the room able to step up to the plate–has definitely bitten off more than it can chew. It’ll be done in about 35 hours from now, it thinks.)
I’ve actually never seen the real “Porcupine Racetrack.” Far as I know, it was broadcast only once in the mid-’90s; I know it only through later references. However, I think it’s a perfect conceptual fit.

I have been HUNTING for a video or audio clip of this. Thank you so very very much.
