And here is a wood craftsman who use a band saw to create a nice wooden deer. It seems to me he will create a wooden puzzle, but I like his skillful work.      

The Blue Scarf - Polish Romantic Song

My Polish friend Tomas sent me the story about a Polish song conducted at 1939 moved to Moscow and was translated into Russian, and became one of the hymns of the Russian Red Army during WW2. During the war, many version of that song were refurbished by the soldiers and the Political commissar's published them.
That song became a symbol and the soldiers used to shout
"For our homeland! For Stalin! For blue Scarf, Hooray, Hooray, Hooray!"

First listen to the Polish Version 
Mała błękitna chusteczka.
Mała, błękitna chusteczka,
ta, którą nosze od lat...
Moja błękitna, mała chusteczka
mgłą przesłoniła mi świat.
Moja błękitna, mała chusteczka
mgłą przesłoniła mi świat.

Czy tu, czy tam,
stale przy sobie ją mam,
bo tę błękitną, małą chusteczkę
tyś ofiarował mi sam,
bo tę błękitną, małą chusteczkę
tyś ofiarował mi sam. Source

Now Lets listen to the Russian Version Синий платочек

Another performance which in my opinion is the best.
Here in the clip you find authentic pictures of Russian woman which were standing in front of the camera in order to send a message of courage.

Here is the Version of that song in the 1942 movie  "Concert For the Front"

Концерт фронту 1942 год

Here is the Russian Lyrics

Синий платочек - Link

Синенький скромный платочек
Падал с опущенных плеч.
Ты говорила, что не забудешь
Ласковых, радостных встреч.
Порой ночной
Мы распрощались с тобой...
Нет больше ночек.
Где ты, платочек,
Милый, желанный, родной?

At June 22 four p.m Kiev was bombard.........

Двадцать второго июня,

Ровно в четыре часа

Киев бомбили,

Нам объявили,

Что началася война.

Кончилось мирное время,

Нам расставаться пора.

Я уезжаю,

Быть обещаю

Верным тебе до конца.

Try To Remember The Kind Of September

I love so much that song, even after the Sep. 11 2001 crime.
God bless you all, just lets pray the bad men all over the world, will be locked behind bars.
I remember that song from the first days, my parents gave me that record as a present for my birthday which is at the end of this month.
p.s. I hate listening to the song, when the smart guys are broadcasting it at December.

Lyrics:Source

Verse 1
Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and, oh, so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September when
you were a tender and callow fellow.
Try to remember, and
if you remember
Then follow (echo)
Follow follow
Follow follow follow
follow follow follow

Verse 2
Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow
Try to remember when life was so tender
that dreams were kept beside your pillow
Try to remember when life was so tender that
love was and ember about to billow
Try to remember, and
if you remember Then follow (echo)
Follow follow etc.

Verse 3
Deep in December it's nice to remember,
Although you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Without a hurt, the heart is hollow.
Deep in december it's nice to remember the
fire of September that made us mellow.
Deep in December our hearts should remember,
And follow (echo)
follow follow etc.

Street Ballads

On my previous post I present one popular clip about the three German running the spoon game. Here it is once again just have fun.

But suddenly out of the blew, I start singing the old forgotten street ballad some melody

Hinky-Dinky Parlez-vous (Mademoiselle from Armentieres)

Three German Officers (Tune - "Inky, Dinky, Parlez-veus") - Source
Three German officers crossed the Rhine,
Parlez-veus,
Three German officers crossed the Rhine,
Parlez-veus,
Three German officers crossed the Rhine,
They fucked the women and drank the wine,
Inky, dinky, parlez-veus.

They came upon a wayside inn,
Shit on the mat and walked right in.

Oh landlord have you a daughter fair,
Lily-white tits and golden hair?

At last they got her on a bed,
Fucked her till her cheeks were red.

And then they took her to a shed,
Fucked her till she was nearly dead.

They took her down a shady lane,
Fucked her back to life again.

They took her up in an aeroplane,
Squeezed her tits and made it rain.

They fucked her up, they fucked her down,
They tucked her right around the town.

They fucked her in, they fucked her out,
They fucked her up her waterspout.

Now she lives in our town,
Sells her cunt for half a crown.

Seven months went and all was well,
Eight months went and she started to swell.

Nine months went and she gave a grunt,
And a little white bugger popped out her cunt.

The little white bugger he grew and grew,
He fucked his mother and sister too.

The little white bugger he went to hell,
He fucked the Devil and his wife as well.

Mademoiselle from Armenteers - Source
   
    Chorus:

        Mademoiselle from Armenteers, parlez-veus,
        Mademoiselle from Armenteers, parlez-veus,

    You didn't have to know her long
    To find the reason men went wrong
    Inky-pinky parlez-veus

    She sold her kisses for ten francs each
    Soft and juicy -- as sweet as a peach
    Inky-pinky parlez-veus

    I had more fun than I can tell
    Beneath the sheets with Mademoiselle
   Inky-pinky parlez-veus

    I fell in love with her at sight
    Waked myself for half the night
    Inky-pinky parlez-veus

    She go to church and say her prayers
    And make a beeline for the stairs
    Inky-pinky parlez-veus

    She'd give a wink and cry qui qui
    Let us see what you can do with me
   Inky-pinky parlez-veus

    On her bed she sure was fun
    Moving her ass like a Maxim Gun
    Inky-pinky parlez-veus

    I fucked with her but I fucked to much
    Today when I walk I use a crutch
    Inky-pinky parlez-veus

    She'd grab your pick and give it a squeeze
    'Till it hung down below your knees
   Inky-pinky parlez-veus

    in all the bars
    she'd roll her ass
    Inky-pinky parlez-veus

    She could hold her drink without a doubt
    She was going strong when I passed out
    Inky-pinky parlez-veus

What A Wonderful World

Mikey sent me a great clip, and I feel you should enjoy it too.

Louis Armstrong the great, in my favorite song.

Who Wants Milk?

The biggest breast of the world, belong to Chelsea, she will let you touch her tits and you can imagine how great it will be to suck some milk. but she can kill you if she hammer you with her 52 pounder tits. Look the funny Chinese tourist he is coming twice, LOL.

No Milk Today

No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands for lorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why

How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know the palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen

No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day 

Bulls vs Culture in Pamplona

   To tell the truth Pamplona for me is the festival of running of the bulls. The city is famous for the San Fermín festival, from July 6 to 14, in which the running of the bulls is one of the main attractions. This festival was brought to the western world publicity by Ernest Hemingway's novel, The Sun Also Rises.
  The western world is trying now to stop the Bull fighting, across the world but especially in Spain. Here I am trying to show the two faces of Spain. High culture of a nation which respect music, literature but love to celebrate their festivals and traditions. I respect the bull fighting traditions and I believe the bulls were treated with honor. Fox hunting is Okay because it belongs only to the British high class people eh?

Dubstep Songs

Dubstep is the latest genre of electronic music. The music industry promote it by endless commercials and music videos. I like the music itself, rich and many effects mixed in, like a good soup in a loaf of bread. What am I talking about? Look and enjoy it.

You can say lots of bad things about Pedophiles but at least they drive slowly past schools LOL.
Look at our pedophile who need a prey, but he met a sweet witch. 

That's reminds me the TV Bewitched of the 70's

Bad Question!!!!

   On his 64th birthday Lt Columbo got a gift certificate from his wife Dee. The certificate paid for a visit to a medicine man living on a nearby reservation who was rumored to have a wonderful cure for erectile dysfunction. After being persuaded, he drove to the reservation, handed his ticket to the medicine man and wondered what he was in for.
When I'm 64th - Beatles 

    The old man slowly, methodically produced a portion, handed it to him, and with a grip on his shoulder, warned, "This is powerful medicine and it must be respected. You take only a spoonful and then say ‘1-2-3’. ‘When you do that, you will become more manly than you have ever been in your life and you can perform as long as you want."

    Lt Columbo was encouraged. As he walks away, he turned and asked, "How do I stop the medicine from working?" "Your partner must say '1-2-3-4,' he responded. "But when she does, the medicine will not work again until the next full moon." Lt. Columbo was very eager to see if it worked so he went home, showered, shaved, took a spoonful of the medicine, and then invited Dee to join him in the bedroom. When she came in, He took off his clothes and said, ‘1-2-3!’ Immediately, he was the manliest of men.
Dee was excited and took off her clothes. And then she asked, ‘What was the 1-2-3 for?’



   Now I hope you will learn that lesson "never end your sentences with a preposition" because you could end up with a dangling participle. Source 

  Peter Falk, the American actor who died on June 23 aged 83, is best remembered for his TV program Lt Columbo. I respect him as one of the top three detectives at the Hall of Fame. RIP.

World Idol

    Diving deep enough in the tubes of YouTube, gives me a lot of fun. This time I was searching for new talents across the globe and because I like Chinese, I found an amazing lovely Chinese dwarf 23yrs old, with an happy end, she and her boyfriend are a really nice couple.

What are you thinking about the nice couple, are they gonna become superstars in American movie industry?

Next to Romania Idol, listen to the young talent using his soprano, I am sure soon we all hear about him. Please remember his name Narcis Iustin Ianau

May be they were more talents but for me Joselito is the best.

And finally the British talent is a great drummer, he his only 12yrs old and he is performing like the first class drummers, three times hurray!!!

When You Come to Nablus City

    Last Night we were sitting and boozing our regulars, so one of the veteran start singing  "She'll be coming 'round the mountain" and he reminds me the extra verse for that song we use to sing on our vessel while we were running dirty jokes reminding the gays. As you know Nablus was famous as the Middle East center of the gays. All rich Arabic came to get layed. here we go! 

 

When you come to Nablus city

When you come

Don't forget your ammunition

And your gun

Because Muhammad and Re'easy  (*Gang in Arabic)

Put his arrow in your tizzy**              (**tizzy means Ass in Arabic)

When you come to Nablus city

When you come

Chorus
Singing aye aye yipee yippee aye
Aye aye yippee yippe aye
Singing aye aye yippee
Aye aye yippie
Aye aye yippie yippie aye

Amish Land looks like Polish Land

    I first learned  about the Amish people at 1985 when I saw the "Witness"  starring Harrison Ford From the first minute I couldn't distinguish between them an the Religious Jews of Brooklyn. So here I blame Mr. Henry Ford, the leader of the mass-production lines which changes the world. So at these days we can see work horses at the Amish land and as Tourists traps. Watch of the best Amish Jokes.

    An Amish lady is trotting down the road in her horse and buggy when she’s pulled over by a cop. ‘Ma’am,’ says the cop. ‘You ought to know you have a broken reflector on your buggy.’ ‘I’ll let my husband know as soon as I get home,’ replies the Amish lady. ‘There’s something else,’ says the cop. ‘One of your reins seem to be tied to your horse’s testicles. I consider that animal abuse. Have your husband take care of that too.’ Back home the lady tells her husband about her encounter with the cop. ‘He said the reflector is broken,’ says the lady. ‘I can fix that in two minutes,’ says her husband. ‘Anything else?’ ‘I’m not sure,’ says the lady. ‘Something about the emergency brake…’

Tradition of the Jewish people in Poland - From the Musical Fiddler on the Roof
To me the Amish and the Polish are the same.

Prison Tales

Three prisoners were chatting to tell their stories.
Steve: I was convicted for robbery, 18 months, but the judge told me that if it was an armed robbery he would locked me for three years

Jack: I was convicted for raping a woman, two years behind bars, but Judge Abe told me "you are lucky because if she was a virgin, you would get five years"

Nelson (Black): The Sheriff caught me driving without my headlights, so I received  five years, but judge Abe told me "you are lucky, because if the sheriff would caught you driving without lights at dark time, you would received ten years"

Where is your Willy?

      Bobby the Police Officer is always hiding behind the newspaper booth. He is ambushing for the pedestrians crossing a red light. I watched him yesterday, while he was grabbing a pedestrian. "Your documents please" said the Policeman. "I left my wallet at the Tailor's Shop, across the street were I'm working for" said the pedestrian. Policeman: "Give me your identification" Pedestrian: "Willy Taylor, 2800 Baker St, ID x…..x" The Policeman filled a report and told Willy he must pay a 50 dollar fine immediately, or to go with him to the police station.
     "Sir" said Willy to the PO: "please give me five minutes I will cross the street to the Tailor's shop, pick up my wallet and return with the money". The officer agreed, maybe because Willy looks very honorable. I stood and watched the scene, and I didn't understand how the officer let him bolt. We were waiting maybe ten minutes, then the Policeman crossed the street (I followed him), walked into the Tailor's shop, glanced around and then asked the Tailor "Where is your Willy?" "Peacefully in my pants" replied the tailor.  

Readers Corner

Johnny Got His Gun- Dalton Trumbo  
    My first book recommendation will be "Johnny Got His Gun" by Dalton Trumbo. This book
belongs to a list of a few anti-war books, about a soldier of the Great War (WW I) mortally wounded, laying in a military hospital revealing his life story. For me the core idea of the book is based on the American Civil War, Johnny the hero, which returned home as a cripple. The famous ballad "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" (1863) was the first anti-war protests.  The original ballad "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye" was tailored to the nice ballad "When Johnny Comes Marching Home".

   This book has been with me since 1972. I read it once in a while, so this morning during rearranging my library I found this book. I began reading and the memories of the Vietnam War set me back to those days. Which the American people had protested many years till that bloodshed bath stopped.
    
   For the readers convenience I set the trailer for the movie based on that novel.
That movie failed Financially but can be found now on DVD format.

   The band Metallica performed one of the first video songs "ONE" in 1989 which uses scenes from the movie "Johnny Got His Gun" and this push again this book to the readers.

   After you either read this book or watch the movie, you are gonna scream
"No More War - No More Bloodshed", so then all your friends will join and the people all over the
world will scream too "No More War - No More Bloodshed".
I believe that the protest of the crowd now moves from the streets to the web. The leaders should be forced stop sending their troops fighting for honor and treasures!!!
