Hey, old school New Yorkers! Remember those 1970’s commercials “What’s the story, Jerry?” They were for Jamaica Gas & Electric, aka JGE. Couldn’t find an original, but did come across this….

9/11 Budweiser Ad. Grab a Tissue.
This Budweiser commercial aired only one time on the first anniversary of September 11th. Bud did this so they wouldn’t benefit financially from the event. It’s really touching.
Now if only their beer didn’t taste like piss water.
A Cat. A Tree. A Rescue. Bklyn, NY.
Cat goes up a tree. Firemen can’t rescue her. Neighbors can’t rescue. Finally, a heroic tree guy comes and in bam! Just grabs her and sticks her in a bag. Done.

Hey, Jews Can Be Cool Too!
Punk Jews-Work in Progress from Evan Kleinman on Vimeo.
Who knew there were punk Jews? I’m kvelling for the anarchists in my tribe! I’m not talking about my kind of lapsed Jew since birth….the Jon Stewart type. These Heebpunks are like really, really religious. Or at least they were brought up orthodox.
There’s a punk band featured in the film called “Moshiach Oi!” How clever is that? If you don’t get the reference, you’re either too young, too old or you were listening to Air Supply back in the 70’s.
I caught the Jew story on Cool Hunting (actually, from a Facebook link). The docjewmentary is a work in progress by Brooklyn based filmmaker Jesse Zook Mann. You can be a backer of the movie by going to Kickstarter and pledging as little as a buck.
It almost makes me sad I’m not a real Jew.
Almost.
Gypsy Junker @ Tiny Yellow House
Heard about this on NPR. This guy builds hobbit cabins out of reclaimed material. His first one was called the Hickshaw. Because he’s a hick.

I’d Like to See the Show 2 More Times!
Damn, I was looking for the “I laughed. I cried. It was better than Cats!” commercial, but I forgot what show that was. This will do for now.
