So Whatcha Want? More COWBELL!!
This is too funny! Imagine the Beastie Boys with 55% cowbell and 31% Walken! Now all we need is Will Ferrell dancing in the background in a cropped wool sweater with his gut bouncing around. Priceless!
Click the arrow to hear the more cowbell version... Then follow the link below to make your own!!
Make your own at MoreCowbell.dj |
Don't get it? Here's the background scoop from "morecowbell.dj":
"More cowbell" is an American pop culture catch phrase originally derived from an April 8, 2000 Saturday Night Live comedy sketch about the recording of the song "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" by Blue Öyster Cult. The sketch featured guest host Christopher Walken as music producer Bruce Dickinson and Will Ferrell as fictional cowbell player Gene Frenkle. In the television special Saturday Night Live: 101 Most Unforgettable Moments, this sketch is moment number five."

Two of My Favorite Things — Wine & Flowers
Aster Hand Painted Wine Glass
With Christmas just around the corner, here's a great gift idea for your favorite wine lover and gardener!!
These intricately hand-painted wine glasses are certainly a must to check out. My favorite is the Blue/White Aster featured below, which is painted in non-toxic, acrylic enamel paint. Top-shelf dishwasher safe, yet hand washing is recommended to preserve the design.
The Painted House & More site features many floral designs, or you can contact Amy to create custom glassware for a special event or theme. With a variety of glasses to choose from, why not create a full set? Coordinating dinner pieces also available. She also offers many other painted items... great ideas for weddings, birthday, or cocktail parties!
