You can see this, and a whole bunch of other fantastic fotos of folks flashing fezzes at the fabulous Flickr Fez Pool. I can only imagine what these two fraternal fellas were arrested for. Reckless mini-car driving? Maybe they were caught giving sips from their hip flasks to sick kids at the Shriner's Hospital? The guy on the right is a dead ringer for my father. I don't think he ever lived in Boise though, and he wasn't a Shriner either.

Meanwhile, over at the Puppet Music Hall, Meryl Streep duets with an aloha-shirted dummy (voiced by Adam Guettel) on the ukulele classic, Excellent Moon. Creepy as hell. I'm just grateful that the consummation of their love wasn't shown. [Link][via Ukulelia]

The orangeguru sent me this godawful music video from 1984, called "New Wave Country", sung by a German country-western singer named Tex Haper. The song is an unbelievably lame mix of pedal-steel guitar, comatose rapping, and electropop beeps. "Tex" looks like he's reading the lyrics off a teleprompter. I don't know what the deal is with the barrels. Maybe he got lost in the basement of the Hofbräuhaus looking for the bathroom?

The kid doing The Robot, however, ist mega!

I figure if I have to suffer, you should all suffer with me, so I'm going to break my self-imposed YouTube ban and link to it. [Link]

Thanks, Dieter....you BASTARD!
