Sylvan Sport Go


SERIOUSLY - this camper / trailer / tent combo has me jonzing for some mountain air. Just look at the beauty and simplicity. Fast Forward the video to 1:38 where they show the set-up.

'Eff yea! It's Beer o'clock, baby!

Tuba Solo!

And now for the tuba solo!

Nothing says "party" like a German oom-pa-pa band. This one in the Hofbräuhaus in München was top-notch. And this guy was particularly kick ass.

Kick ass in a schnitzel and beer kind of way.

Knight Cod Piece

Can't remember if I posted this already and frankly, I'm too lazy to look at my older posts to see if I did.

But much to my surprise, in the Deutsches Historisches Museum (German History Museum) in Berlin... Wow! Look at the unit on that guy?

Here it is up close. Those Germanic warriors were packin' heat!


Absinth


I'm pretty sure it was illegal to be drinking this stuff. But those Germans...must have smuggled this across the Czech border!

Oh and it tasted like shit. At least I think it did...can't remember... likely too much hallucinating...

Anita O'Day

Out this week is a new documentary called "Anita O'Day: Life of a Jazz Singer". The above is the trailer. The "New York Times" gives it a terrific review: here.

I always liked Anita. She swings like no other white lady I've ever heard before! I had no idea she was on heroin for 15 years, had several marriages, and was arrested numerous times on drug charges. You don't see that boring bitch Diana Krall leading such a colorful life [must be why she's impossibly dull!].

Here's to you Anita! I'm putting your CDs on right now...
