Saturday Matinee – Serious Beer Taps, JesiErin, Santana & Benson,

Pure brilliance. Watch the vid first, because there’s more info about it below. Cheers!

JesiErin is a one-girl a capella doo-wop group from Huntington Beach, California, and the dubbing, both audio and video are top notch. Here’s her take on The Cascades‘ 1962 hit.


George Benson & Carlos Santana on “The Midnight Special” in 1976 playing Benson’s “Breezin’.”

The beer-plumbing prank video was filmed in NZ and sponsored by Tui Beer as stealth advertising, yet it was a genuine prank by a bunch of friends of the “victim.” Some folks on Reddit busted it as an advert (the comments are funny) and it’s still an awesome prank.

Word on the street is that Aussies and Kiwis don’t bother with Foster’s (it’s for tourists and export) but there are unwritten rules about which beer you order, and it varies by region. They have beer allegiances (like rabid sports fans do with teams in the US) so if you order the wrong one in the wrong place, you may be headed for trouble. A credible source told me that if you go to Oz, order Toohey’s and you may avoid a situation like this.

Have a great weekend, and we’ll see you back here tomorrow.

Sunday Matinee – To Our Non-Yankee Friends

Following in the footsteps of our Fearless Leader, I must apologize for yesterday’s post, as it addressed my fellow citizens while overlooking our friends around the globe.  To make up for this egregious oversight, here are some video picks for everybody.

For Nurse Myra, Phil, Archie & others in and from the land of Oz.

For Herr Eagle. [Vielen Dank für die Ausschreibung. Der Aufstand bewegt sich mit uns Ihre Pläne.]

For Chiqui and others. [Had a difficult time finding a funny video from Spain, as the Utoobage is undergoing some revamping. Video found here.]

The last one is for Rain & Metro and the rest of my friends from Canuckistan.

If  I’ve overlooked any of your homelands, let me know in the comments and I’ll make up for it in a future post.  (Please respond in English, otherwise it looks like spam.)  In other words:

Si je n’ai négligé aucun de vos pays d’origine, faites le moi savoir dans les commentaires et je ferai en place pour lui dans un futur poste. ( S’il vous plaît répondre en anglais, sinon, ça ressemble à du spam.)

Pokud jsem přehlížet jakékoliv vaše vlasti, dejte mi vědět do komentářů a uvidíme se až na to v budoucnu post. ( Odpovězte prosím v angličtině, jinak to vypadá jako spam.)

请回复英文，否则它看起来像垃圾邮件。如果我忽略了您的家园，让我知道的评论中，我会弥补它在未来的职位。

Als ik het heb over een van uw vaderland, laat het me weten in de reacties en ik zal je make-up voor het in een toekomstige functie.  (Gelieve te reageren in het Engels, anders is het er uit ziet spam.)

してください英語で、そうでなければ、スパムのように対応しています。もし私はあなたの故郷の見過ごしてきた、私のコメントで知っているが、私は将来のポストを作ってあげることができます。

Если я игнорировать любые Ваши хоумленды, дайте мне знать в комментариях, и я, естественно, составляют для него в будущем пост. (Просьба ответить на Английский, иначе это выглядит как спам.)

Wenn ich übersehen habe jede Ihrer Heimat, lassen Sie mich wissen, in den Kommentaren und ich machen es in einem zukünftigen Post. (Bitte antworten Sie in Englisch, sonst sieht es aus wie Spam.)

Blame any and all mistranslations above on Google Translate.

Your Pal, Bunk

In this particular example, their cans are definitely bigger than our jars, with 40% more beef. You gotta open ’em from the bottom, though, otherwise you clean your ceiling.
