You'd have to ask Mitch Miller.

Silly me... I always thought the polka dots were the little buttons on the opposite side of the accordian!

.....and maybe they are!!! YAY!!!

Pauly

ummm the only Polka or whatnot that I know of is al Yankavich's stuff like "Polka your eyes out" and whatnot

Surely Lady Scott knows the Pennsylvania
Polka, Tac.

Or anyone who has ever seen the movie
"Groundhog Day"

Repeatedly...

I've seen that movie so often - seemed like every time I turned on the tv for a month it was on one channel or another

We have our own groundhog in Lancaster county (Octororo Orphie)... stupid thing still always tells us we've got 6 more weeks..

I've seen it a few times, too.

There are other polkas that are kind of fun, too.
There's the "Thunder and Lightning Polka."
There's the "I was not a Nazi Polka."
I went to an "Octoberfest" celebration in a Boston
suburb last month (Octoberfest in September? Well,
it seems to be a tradition with them), and heard
quite a few polkas. There was also some kind of German
drinking song that everyone but me seemed to know
by heart.

Maybe you have to be a German drinker to know this stuff?

How exactly would one drink a German?

... first you put him in a blender.

you could put him in a bender...

... or you could use a juicer, but that would be messier. You'd have to figure out what to do with the pulp.

Octoberfest was quite interesting.

At precisely 2:00 P.M., everyone stopped what they
were doing, and faced the German flag while they
sang the German National Anthem (music by Franz
Joseph Haydn, lyrics by....I don't know who).
Then the stars and stripes were saluted, while
everyone sang the Star Spangled Banner (in English
this time).

Then we proceeded to load up on German potato salad,
knackwurst, sauerkraut, and rich desserts.

are you in germany? man, i pity you

*hint*

Unc... read just a little backlog...

I got given a little spork with a ready meal I ate yesterday. You had to cliup it together as it came in two pieces

A snap together !

Yeah...tis only diddy...

Diddy?


What kind of thing did you get it with? We can get snap together spoons here - they're in the caps of some yogurts, but I've never seen a snap together spork.

It was in the lid of this weird pasta ready meal...didn't taste very nice, but I get the spork

Hm.... interesting...

Any particular brand? Maybe we have it over here - it would be so to get a snap together , even though I'd probably hate the meal!
