My first reaction was that the snack shop owner was making a snarky political statement. My second reaction was that it was a clever marketing ploy. Then I read the comments and found this:
Typical Fat American (Monday, 18 Jul 2011)
Below that was a link to a “how to” video by the guy who figured it out:
Why NOT deep fry Kool-Aid? Is this a Great Country or what?
[Found here.]
This WILL give little kids nightmares. [Found here.]
Ohio Players on the Midnight Special 1975.
Dedicated to Hurricane Irene, here’s Pauly Shore Bob Dylan, kinda singing.
Room Full of Blues caught on 16mm B&W film from 1956 + 40 years.
Doc Watson’s “Deep River Blues.”
With that we’re out. Have a great weekend folks, stay safe and away from the floods.
[Found here.]
Poor Keith. Just couldn’t follow directions. Johnny Johnson‘s blank stares are great.
Here’s Johnny Johnson’s version of Meade Lux Lewis‘ “Honky Tonk Train Blues.”
Here I was thinking that Pinetop Smith wrote HTTB, and the wiki proved me wrong just in time. Unfortunately there are no videos of Pinetop Smith in action, but Silvan Zingg is awesome. From Switzerland, here’s “Pinetop’s Boogie Woogie.”
Now how to wrap this up…
Yep, Johnny Winter‘s “Mojo Boogie” does it. Have a great weekend, folks and be back here for more fun tomorrow.
A wooden ball is set atop a long, wooden structure that might be a xylophone or a marimba, constructed in the middle of the woods. As the ball rolls downward, dropping onto each wooden “key,” it plays a note, and suddenly we are hearing Bach’s Cantata 147, “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.” .. “We did not add any artificial music at all,” Harano wrote (though they did adjust some levels to “bring out the sound of river and nature”).
Yeah, ultimately it’s a commercial, but it’s still very very cool. [via]
R.I.P. Joey Ramone (d. 15 April 2001)
The New York Dolls were stuck between classic rock and proto-punk, but they had that pseudo-tranny stuff going on that turned off a lot of potential fans, at least in my opinion.
[Deleted the video. Screw 'em since they've blocked embedded links. If they don't want free advertisement, then they shouldn't post it on the Utoobage.]
The Katzenjammers. Nice trumpetingness. [h/t to Bunkessa]
So, in place of a cool video of the folks originally posted above, here are The Milenberg Joys. I think they had more talent than that Katzjamband anyway.
Red Nichols & His Five Pennies were awesome in their time.
Speaking of time, I’m out of it. Have a great weekend, folks. Be back here tomorrow for more fun.
Great video worth watching. Pure awesome. [via]
Remember “Zezu” Zidane’s infamous headbutt at the 2006 World Cup? He’s running a training camp now. Here’s some more of his dickery.
In 1986, this was state of the art computer animation. Here’s Pixar’s “pencil test” of the most recognizable early computer animation of all time.
In 1988, Brian Jennings’ and Bill Kroyer’s “Technological Threat” combined digital animation with Tex Avery’s classic style. It was nominated for best animation short (but was beat out by Pixar’s “Tin Toy”).
So now, let’s fast forward to 2011. Computer animation is at its peak with this example of awesome. I love it.

And with that, have a great weekend, folks. Be back here tomorrow for more fun.
Hoogerbrugge’s “A Thunderstorm in a Beautiful Summer Sky.” Want more video oddness ala Hoogerbrugge? Click here.
Now let’s make some moonshine.
What’s moonshine without country? Here’s Karen Wheeler’s version of “Muleskinner Blues.” [via] (This is the same song that The Fendermen covered in 1960 with their rockabilly version.)
“The Claw.” Can’t beat a combo of Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins.
I bet I’ve posted this video before, but I’ve been a longtime fan of the late Country Dick Montana and the Beat Farmers, and it just seems right to wrap up this Saturday Matinee with Big Ugly Wheels.
Have a great weekend folks, and be back here tomorrow for more fun.
9:49 minutes of pure Bollywood Awesome. [via]
Rowan Atkinson is Teh Schoolmaster. Pay attention, Nipple.
Aswad. Good riddims, brah.
Satchmo. Can’t top him for the end of a Saturday Matinee. Have a great weekend, folks, and be back here tomorrow for more fun.
Doodling in Math Class is an awesome series with great commentary. (There are more here, here and here.) I did a lot of n-pointed star studies and other similar graphics, but teh Utoobage hadn’t been invented yet to record the brilliance.
One of the great modern animators, Bruno Bozzetto has done it again.
What the heck, here’s another Bozzetto classic. Now how do I transition from Bozzetto to a music video? …got it.
Bozzetto to Bozzio. Double zees. Which takes us to you-know-who:
1980′s vintage ZZ Top. Now we’re gonna take away one more Z…
Zappa’s “Bamboozled By Love/Owner of a Lonely Heart.”
And with that, have a great weekend folks and be back here tomorrow for more fun.

We’re all Fuldkommen Gak now.
