Portugal. The Man


This is the most famous thing to come out of Wasilla. That, and someone (what's her name?) McCain picked to run with him. Great. Just great.

Girl talk. They're channeling JJ.

OK, I don't know much about Michael Palin, but he was very funny in the Python days. Much funnier than Mitt Romney and more than just Barbie would vote for him.

I didn't know he was from Alaska. I thought he was some pom limey sod brit pegboy. Whatever.

Let's see Biden beat up on him in a debate though. I think Biden will be a dead parrot if he pushes Palin too hard.

Michael Palin? He in drag?

Mr roT said...

Was he ever not in drag? He's a Brit. They teach drag on the fields where the character that conquered the world was formed. Eton.

Which one is Michael, and which one is Sarah? If you can get this one right, JJ, you win a Coors.

AI, AI, AI, The lumberjack was supposed to be from British Columbia. Like Columbus, I think that's in the United States. Still, he's kinda Britpomfruitdisplay:


LUMBERJACK SONG

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day.

Chorus:
He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shopping and have buttered scones for tea

Mounties:
He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping and has buttered scones for tea.

Chorus:
He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing and hang around in bars.

Mounties:
He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing and hangs around in bars?!

Chorus:
He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees, I wear high heels
Suspenders and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my dear Papa!!

Mounties:
I cut down trees, I wear high heels?!
Suspenders...and a bra?!...

Just the Lumberjack:
I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my dear Papa!!

I don't get it, JJ. Sometimes, you are too deep for me. You need to draw a commuting diagram for me to follow your train of thought.

Though Palin is not in drag in the Lumberjack Song, he does say that he likes to be.

You guys check out "Life Aquatic" ever with Bill Murray? Some guy sings several David Bowe songs in Portuguese (acoustic guitar, too). Sounds real good.

Mr roT said...

mft, what's worse, the Bowie or the Portuguese?

Arelcao Akleos said...

Bah. The guy on the left looks like he's a Pole from Krakow. The guy on the middle left is a sneering dolt of a Frog from Lille. The guy in the middle right is obviously a Flem from Antwerp, and the guy on the right is a Scot from Glasgow.

Portugal? They ain't worthy of the title! [On the other hand, if they believe in sharing profits with dual citizenshipped erstwhile countrymen I say, Viva os Rapazes!]

Wiki took down the photo (I guess it got too much publicity), so I replaced it by another one. At any rate, looks like a pretty dumb lot -- being Mayor of Wassilia ain't the same thing as being Mayor of NYC. Rudy looks better, in hindsight.
