And Finally: You did what in your lederhosen?

It’s pretty well known that Chad Ruble, our guy who collects strange video clips, is under contract with the Germans to mention them at least once a week, normally in connection with some cute animal cubs.

Today, however, he reports on Oktoberfest and uses the phrase “I threw up in my lederhosen,” which I’m pretty sure is the only phrase actually banned in his contract. We’ll see what happens.

 Here’s Chad and here is Chad’s Archive

Jim,

Judging from your posts, I bet you are disgusted with Scooby Doo for not being analytical, thoughtful and insightful. (No offense, Blog Guy, but you see the connection, of course–talking dog, piano-playing dingo.)

i’m a little confused, did Chad throw up while wearing his lederhosen or were they just nearby handy to use as a chunks receptacle. Anyway, Chad, at least there’s a good? photo. Thanks for the mammories.

From “Terence, this is stupid stuff” –A.E. Housman

***
Oh I have been to Ludlow fair
And left my necktie God knows where,
And carried half way home, or near,
Pints and quarts of Ludlow beer:
Then the world seemed none so bad,
And I myself a sterling lad;
And down in lovely muck I’ve lain,
Happy till I woke again.
Then I saw the morning sky:
Heigho, the tale was all a lie;
The world, it was the old world yet,
I was I, my things were wet,
And nothing now remained to do
But begin the game anew.
***
