How to make a wooden Viking beer mug with a hatchet and a knife. I’d use the rawhide method.
Better yet – how to scout and set up a whiskey still in the hills of Appalachia. The late Popcorn Sutton is his own live narrator on this 96 minute video, entitled, “This Is The Last Damn Likker Run I’ll Ever Make.” Take the time to watch it.
Interesting comparative photo essay of differing people of the U.S.
Large Brass Industrial Man Template is a great title for that post.

Ohio State School For The Blind Marching Band accompanied the OSU Marching Band for “script Ohio” September 2013.
Amy Oops has free tickets for something. Go for it.

Saturday Matinee – The Olympics, Roger Miller, The Clash, Manfred Mann, Pink Floyd & Yeoman Warden
Saturday, 28 July 2012The Olympics were an underrated vocal group (see Walter Ward and the Challengers) and there are few live vids on the Utoobage; however, there’s a nice collection of recordings here.
Roger Miller‘s “England Swings.” I hate that song, and I hope you do, too.
The song was written by Bruce Springsteen, but those guys did it better. Manfred Mann’s Earth Band was underrated here in the States as Mann was stuck with his 1964 cover of The Exciters’ “Do Wah Diddy Diddy.”
Pink Floyd is another Brit treasure who have been around longer than you think. That vid’s from 1969.
The Clash – one of the great early punk bands, influenced and encouraged by The Ramones.
We posted this previously, but it’s worth a repost. Yeoman Warden explains why the Brits were not to be messed with. If you’ve never clicked on a single vid that we’ve posted here, click on that one and pay close attention. Then you’re going to want to hunt down and pay attention to the rest of the 6 part series of awesome.
Have a great weekend, folks, and be back here tomorrow for more stuff.
Real Canadian Original Swedish Fish
Tuesday, 23 February 2010
Oh, yeah. It’s Canadian. It’s Swedish. It’s Fish. Right.
What we’ve got here is 538.6 grams of sticky pogie bait gummiecrap being advertised and sold as Original Swedish Fish (as opposed to the ubiquitous knock-offs). You Canucks ought to be ashamed, regardless of the Olympics, so don’t try to pawn this one off on the Greeks. Where do you get off mocking the Swedes?
[Found in Bunk’s kitchen.]
Oh. Canada.

Didn’t you immediately think of the Olympics? So did I.
Just steer clear of him when the sap is running.

Saturday Matinee – “Olymic Sailing,” The Olympics & The Jive Five
Saturday, 20 August 2016Oh yes he does, you Manc poofter. He knows exactly what he’s talking about. “Olymic” indeed.
The Olympics sounded like every other group that performed a Leiber & Stoller song and then faded away to oblivion, but they didn’t. Let’s do the HullyGully.
The Jive Five did a song called “Hully-Gully Callin’ Time” that was cool, but this was probably their biggest hit.
Her name was Suki, his name was Jack or Bob or something. Yeah, I love that stuff, even if it’s a crappy video with poor sound quality.
Have a great weekend, folks. See you tomorrow, same Bunk Time, same Bunk Channel.
