Thanks to all other entries!  You all did a great job;)

This is the rig we’ve been licking our chops for! 10 years in the making, man.

A HUGE thank you to Jim Beam and Beam Global Inc. for the endorsement and the support, as well as our fellas out at SCS Vinyl Works for the BITCHIN’ wrap job! Here’s to paying our dues….ENJOY!

The Beamur.

I know I’ve raised this question before, but I believe it has been a year or two.  Being that is indeed the 5th of May or Cinco de Mayo to my German peeps, there is sure to be gallons upon gallons of Mexican beer drank today.

We all know that Corona is the brand that has been marketed and shoved down our throats for many years here in the states and for that reason is the most popular. To the people of Mexico, from what I understand, it’s basically goat piss.  Cheap, smelly, skunky, goat piss.

On the contrary, I’ve yet to hear anything negative about my personal choice, Pacifico.  Which leads me to believe that it’s even a debate….

Corona in a clear bottle which lets more sunlight in and thus, creates more opportunity for the skunk to arrive?  Pacifico, which is not a product of America’s media machine, has a brown bottle that does not let in the evil rays of the sun, and is just a better product in general?

Choose wisely……the hangover could prove too powerful.

DISCLAIMER:  Listen.  It’s beer.  I’ll drink either one for that matter.  This is just a fun way for me to create drama like the media.  I know that there’s gonna be misguided, sans-logic Corona Nazis out there.  Great.  Good for them.

Loyalty goes a long way……just not when you’re wrong.

“Wyclef Jean says he used to listen to Enya and smoke weed to be inspired.”

Simply stunning, I know.  I for one, cease to believe such rubbish!!!!!

The above quote was taken today from the ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers) Facebook status that has been updated every 30 minutes during this week’s ASCAP EXPO in Hawllywood.

After wiping hot tea off my monitor that I sprayed after complete awe and hysterical gasping, I came to grips with the reality of the sitch.  Wyclef Jean, the Haitian singer/songwriter and founding member of the Fugees, USED to puff tough.  You know he had some of the best shit too….

Oh by the way guys, I drink beer.

QUOTE: As an added bonus, we give you a preview of an upcoming rockin’ performance by an act whose name is a bit on the risque side. See if you can hear us blush at its mere mention.  

We have to roll hawt to Old C in uptown Minneapolis. I’ll be at the bar if you need me.

Wednesday morning in Fargo. Random acts of abiditional goodness….Happy April Fool’s Day!!! (Click on pic below to see vid….)

Most of you have probably listened to the audio version of this podcast (my virgin one)…here is the video to go with it. More to come as we journey eastward!!!!

My father in-law had me peeing my pants yesterday when I went and saw him for my taxes.  He has some great one-liners and sayings that he pulls out from time to time.  “That guy goes through money faster than shit through a tin horn!” HEH!  Another one is, “Honestly.  That guy there is so dumb, he couldn’t pour piss out of a boot!”

To him, they’re just that; sayings……stuff he’s heard and said his whole life, that is now commonplace in his vernacular.  To me, it’s pure comedic bliss.  Authentic frontier jibberish at its finest.  A generational smorgasboard of jargon.   We’ve all heard ‘em…….”Crabbier than a bear with a sore ass”….”Straight as a Grizzly’s dick”……then there’s just the single words.  “Puddychuckin”……”Fiddlefartin”…..etc.

Take this feller here in the pic for example.  You know he’s thinking something like, “Dadgummit…this here shitter shoe is gonna come in on that there stake hotter than a snake’s ass in a wagon rut!”

Kweej has got some shitten doozies too man……..I’ll let him drop you with some comments though, as to not steal his thunder.  I wanna hear some of your favs……

Now that we have double the channels since the merging of the two satellite radio giants, it’s double the pleasure as well.   Similar stations such as Boneyard (XM) and Hair Nation (Sirius) offer the same genres, but different playlists, so as to not air the same tunes at the same time……righteous indeed.

Lately I’ve been jonesing on XM Chill, which is “dance electronica,” but not so much in the Brussel’s discoteque vain as it is the “vibey as shit, sitting in the steam room with a 12 year scawtch at the Spa” vain.  It’s bizzare, I know.  When I drove Mang to Billings Tuesday for the St. Pat’s party, I had  Chill on the whole way there and back.  I just zoned and was rollin’……….Kweej has never slept better.  Different vibes for different peeps.

What’s your fix???  (Radio that is, not substance)

I’m an Octane/Faction/Lithium/Hair Nation/Coffee House/Chill junkie…..all over the map.  You??

AJ had told me a week or so ago that my birthday present was “en route” because he had to order it online.  Fast forward to St. Pat’s in Billings……

I already had a voicemail from him saying “Dude, its Urge, YUR!!  I have your birthday present with me…..it’s fucking badass!”

I’m unloading the trailer at Bones and he comes walking up with something in his hand and says “Here you go man, Happy Birthday.” When I actually looked at the front of it I nearly shit my pants with laughter/shock/the beef stick I bought in Big Timber and danced for joy.  “Could it be,  (thinking out loud) that a Griz fan of such stature and loyalty could find humor in such shenanigans?”

Needless to say, from any other person (except maybe Andy Waters or Annie Simkins) it would have just been a t-shirt.  But from Ur Jur, it was an instant shitten classic that will be worn by a Montana State alumnus with pride!

When I asked what the catch was, he said “Nothing…………well, maybe you can come with me to a tailgate in Missoula this fall, get shitty, and cock off to people. HEH!”  Neat.  Charming.

-A Richmond Spiders 2008 National Championship tee…..$25

-Finding a Griz fan that can muster up that kind of humor………Priceless

Our friends from Minnesota, the Johnson family, surprised us in West on Saturday at the Expo.  Turns out that their annual family ski trip was taking them to Grand Targhee this year, and a nice pit stop along the way happened to be West Yellowsnow and a Clintons concert.

Their plan was to show up at our gig that night and watch our jaws drop to the floor…alas, myself (The Dawg) was busted in the hallway of the hotel by the young Johnson whippersnappers, and the jig was up….at least for me.  Jay aka MNflyfish informed me of a 12 pack of Leinie’s HoneyWeiss that had survived the trip, and within minutes, it was in my fridge.  I accepted it as a peace offering for keeping my yapper shut to the fellas about our distinguished guests….it was so worth it.

I told Jay and Nuala that I would be referencing said episode in my blawg for Monday…..I did not tell them I’d be posting a pic.  I hope their ski trip to Targhee will be as Grand as the time they spent in West at the show!!
