Girls Don't Poop BLOOPERS - PooPourri.com

The outtakes are as fun as the original YouTube and since ours is a variety show in the vein of The Johnny Cash Show, it needs a comedy sketch or a sponsor occasionally.  But I just had to get the full stink of the research behind this, and in full fledge modern way to find that, WIKIPEDIA - So the product is for real and the question is out if Bethany Woodruff is typecast to a strange product or one of the luckiest young ladies?  I'm going to guess and hope it's lucky... She's a quirky looking beauty with an infectious smile.

I loved Wikipedia linked Gene Weingarten's editorial about "Poop Shame" from which the below cartoon is linked.  So with all this linking going on, I'd recommend you take you lap top to the bathroom and read : POOP Shame

Then watch the bloopers, if you haven't seen the original... they of course have it linked inside the video... dang Marketers of poop products.... oh wait ... we love them for we are now rich from their sponsorship.

New Sponsor - WinCraft Pin Trading

Ha, one might say they are a major sponsor of this blog because they employ me during my day job.  I just had to share some really cool news out of WinCraft that is timely to the largest single day sporting event;  THE SUPER BOWL.

So this year WinCraft received the rights to make and to distribute collectible pins for the event.  There will be pins in retail.

Pins on lanyards in Pin Trading Starter kits.

And exclusive ones at Macy's in New York see all of the exclusive landmark pins like this Freedom Tower pin at http://wincraftpintrading.blogspot.com/2014/01/nfl-shop-at-macys.html 

New sponsor - Top Hats by Eva

In my long line of select sponsors to the blog, we're finally adding another one just in time for the Holidays.  It's a trendy #trendytophats, and it's hand made by Eva.  I have personally set eyes on her creation (well at least the one on her head once); and must vouch for it's workmanship.

She boasts of hand made quality just for you on her website:

I’m so excited to introduce the first hat in a collection I have designed especially for SHEL fans. The 2012 Limited Edition, Blue Forget-Me-Not is a hand made fashion statement with signature blue lace and ribbon roses and a variety of colored sashes. I’m an avid thrift store shopper so depending on what I’ve found on my fabric hunting excursions the sash colors will vary from hat to hat, making each one uniquely individual. Each hat is autographed and numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity. I hope you enjoy the first hat of my collection designed especially for the distinguished individuals found at SHEL concerts.



Now be nice to our sponsor..and check out her other pictures and price at http://shelmusic.com/top-hats/.

Remember, I paid them dearly to allow me to put their promotion on my blog. ;-)

Driftless Radio

Guess who just became a member.... hey I'm out of their range normally, but the internet fixes that...

The Only Community Radio in the Wisconsin Driftless

Driftless Community Radio, Inc. (DCR), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was incorporated in 2003 in response to public demand for a radio station that would meet the unique needs of Wisconsin's driftless region.

WDRT 91.9FM  (Driftless Community Radio) is the Driftless region's only noncommercial, independent radio station. In a time when fewer media moguls own the vast majority of information sources, WDRT is bucking the trend. We’re putting radio in the hands of the public. We welcome everyone in the community to participate. We aren’t beholden to advertisers, and we have time to go beyond sound bites.

WDRT is:

• Non-commercial
• Listener-supported and programmed
• Volunteer-run

Our operations depend on grants, donations, underwriting, and community power.

Our schedule features local news and events reported by local on-air hosts. We also broadcast music and cultural programming unavailable elsewhere on the dial. Check out our current programming schedule.

Our antenna serves almost all of Vernon county, as well as parts of adjacent counties, and we also stream our programing live online. Find us on the dial at 91.9FM in southwest Wisconsin. Or listen to us live right now on the web.

The Human Cone of Shame

Just like Dug the Dog's Cone of Shame... we human's should really think about this one, and make sure we're interacting with the people around us.  I would gladly sponsor putting this device on a few friends of mine.

Hiker cabins- what if

Geez... this almost makes me want to take up the activity of hiking up in the middle of nowhere in the cold and snow... HA.. maybe I'll just walk up and sit on my duff and write songs and play music.  Now maybe if each came with a Robert Johnson Gibson hanging in the corner, and a case of good red wine in the closet.  I ran into it tonight on Google + ... just too cool not to share.

Lady Olivia loved Lindsay Lou & Flatbellys

Here is Dave playing his pussy! So Lady Olivia was not deliberately seeking to become the spoke kitty for a hot new string band, but she did really enjoy them during our house concert. She was ready to dance and play during their song HATs Off. If you never have heard of Lindsay Lou and the Flatbellys, YOU SHOULD. Great instrumentation, great original songwriting, great interaction with the audience, and awesome people to kick back and drink a few dark beers while petting a pussy cat. BTW... Lady Olivia can be bought to promote any video... she plays for food. This posted sponsored by Bluff View Concerts.

My day was brought to me by..

Crosley turntables...!  I'll tell you I had an old Pioneer turntable for 20+ years, but it just wasn't holding the speed any more.  Now I have this cool turntable that comes with software and a USB for great importing.  I even used today the noise reduction on an old 60's record and while it lost that vinyl sound, it was clean and easy to listen to... dang it was not expensive too.

I remember when I first played a few records my son was amazed I had to turn it over to hear the other side.

Sponsor ad- Part Mormon LDS by Mary Mack

That's a faith that I believe can go places... and if Mary Mack is new to you... she's the second funniest person living in the Twin Cities.  Here was here introduction post in the blog: http://thezemmyshow.blogspot.com/2010/05/introducing-mary-mack.html

Wine list?

Ha... it's been a while since we've had a sponsor.. how about some of these wines for you next great meal.

Rose Reiter loves Old Spice guys...

Sponsored by Gillette Pro Glide?

hey watch Pete's video and leave a tasty comment... wish him luck, it's an outstanding video.

Sweet Pea - AT&T Commercial

Ok I had a Paste magazine subscription for two years, and while I regret sometimes cancelling it... mostly today's music is far to depressing or poorly written rock songs with no pizzazz or harmonies. I did find a few gems, and will be forever grateful for finding Amos Lee thru the mag. Here is a cover of a song you likely heard by him and didn't know it... Sweet Pea... AT&T Cingular, "you're the only reason I keep on coming home."... what a wonderful thing for a musician to get paid by a cellphone company.

In keeping with some of my new audience, if you hang on thru the whole song... I'll tell you the chords used in the song.

Peace... and go out and buy Amos Lee... he's wonderful

If you forgot the commercial.. here you go. Yep it sounds like he might be using a Uke in it.



Now I'm not the first to cover it on YouTube... now here's Selah J. Rauw with her new red lipstick and beauty mark... of course if I had her voice with my guitar work... they would be both better videos... HA.

ahlivv girls

I know the excited designer with the new upstart company ahlivv.com and she is so excited I had to share it and make them one of my SPONSOR. Keep it up Ang.

ahlivv Poolside Party from ahlivv on Vimeo.

I want to introduce an incredible company I am very excited to be apart of called ahlivv. I'll take just a minute to share it with all of you and hope you can help me spread the word. It's an up and coming boardsport company (snowboard, skate, surf). We carry only women's clothing, gear and apparel. Remember if you, those you may be purchasing for, or spreading the word to, etc. don't actually participate in any of these sports that plenty ok, I guaruntee you will still find something you love.We use the term boardsport as a way of life. It's not only a sport, but a style and a trend. The concept is amazing and something I want to promote and be proud of. Inspired by the two sides: the ahlivv lifestyle and a girl with the old-fashioned name Olive. The ahlivv name (pronounced ah'live or ol'ive) is one part shopping (the ah... shopping experience) and one part life (the livv...community); add progressive fashion and roots in action (sports, that is) and the result is one heck of a shop with the best brands and products available for that ah - livv lifestyle.

First, a disclaimer to address, the subtle ahlivv girl difference. In fact, ahlivv girls are women. The ahlivv girl is really not a "girl" at all. However, we use the term "girl" liberally to reflect the ahlivv girl's youthful enthusiasm no matter her age. Whether 20, 30 or somewhere over 40, the ahlivv girl lives life to the fullest and doesn't let a little number get in the way of her passion for fashion and love of sports.

The ahlivv girl is unique. She is a trendsetter. She loves fashion and trends. She is sophisticated, but bold. She is an adventurer. She loves snow. She loves surf. She loves concrete. She loves shopping (let's just face it, all girls do). And she is real.

I know Ang well enough to know that she is a genuine angel. I wish her venture tremendous success.

The waiting is over

Oh... yes it is the season of advent, but it snowed that one day and I was felt compelled to work at home in front of the fireplace, so now.....
....it's official!! http://stores.ebay.com/American-Sports-Company Welcome to American Sports Co.; the home of some great deals on Sport memorabilia items and MORE like fabric, retail racking, sporting goods. Stop back any time to browse what might show up.

Cheers to Creamy Dark and a Snow Day!

Yes Leinie's Creamy Dark is a perfect way to recover from shoveling... yum. Today being snowed in I did established our company's ebay store.... pretty cool stuff. http://stores.ebay.com/American-Sports-Company. I have to finish moving all the auctions and listings to the right categories... but it will happen. Unless I drink too much Leinie's

Hey I haven't had a new sponsor for a while... why not Leinie's and ASCO... yeah. and what's a good winter brew without ice fishing!

Drawn to the light..

This has to be one of the most tasteful innovative commercials I have ever seen... let alone for a shopping mall.

Cool pin finding...

Hey I might have mentioned before that I coordinate an effort to sell off some our inventory on deals in Ebay. This little effort has made me look differently at any of inventory laying around; and of course I look for a little help from my friends. With that said, we have some cool cheap pencil offerings, some scrap book and children crafting ideas, and this week a CHRISTMAS Tree pin coming out of a failed sport pennant pin offering from a few years ago. So I was walking around with this really cool pennant shaped plated pin finding with rhinestones and said to a fellow woman co-worker, "I'm going to show this to my wife maybe she could make a cool jewelry pin out of it."... then she said, "Well turn it that way Dave and it's a Christmas Tree"... Hot digitty dog... she was right. Well I haven't sold any yet but the idea worked out.





Here a link to the post 2"x1" Christmas Tree / Pennant finding with rhinestones

And should I win awards for my sell copy?

This finding is an absolute gem. It was created for a sport pin project with quality in mind. The brass metal has a thin gold plate and a string of rhinestones attached. The military clutch and post has an additional anti-rotational spur so it will not spin when attached. We're selling them in lots of 6... yes a winning bid will receive 6 pin findings, and you can let your creativity flow. First my wife took a look at it and said Swarovski flat back gems & Bicones can be glued to it. Then she added a top Marguerite Lochrose flower bead and a Christmas tree was born. She said that she could easily see the clutch clipped from the back and earring posts added. At 2" it would not be the longest dangling earring known to womankind. Or talented painters could quickly make it a unique work... Then she said, it's beautiful just as gold, maybe as tiny ornaments. Well now back to the original premise... I as a sports fan could easily see the light now where a crafter would buy only their favorite team's colors... SAY GREEN and GOLD... and the pin could be worn in either the horizontal pennant or vertical tree shape. Now with just a little more imagination it could be a megaphone shape for your favorite cheerleading coach or team. We'll post this in both an auction format and buy now so first dabble with a small order and come back for a larger order. While we think we have a lot of these... I bet they'll be gone fast

Amazing kitty

The Walnut Burger

I was talking to Heather Waters about what to serve her vegan diet guitar player, Chuck Lee Bramlett when they come on Oct 4th for a house concert. She never heard of a Walnut Burger. I see there is cheese and eggs in it; likely it won't work. I do hear they are tasty, but give me meat any day. But hey, I thought there should be a commercial from a sponsor again so here you go...


From The Historic Trempealeau Hotel in Trempealeau, Wisconsin, we’re proud to bring you our famous Walnut Burger®. We’ve been serving this flavorful meatless patty in the dining room of our four-star restaurant since 1986.

Made for “veggie burger” fans, the Walnut Burger is an all natural meatless recipe, and is made with organic ingredients: walnuts, cheddar cheese, low fat mozzarella cheese, bread crumbs, onions, organic tamari, organic eggs, canola oil, herbs and spices
