Reading about how cold it gets in Antarctica does not do justice to the way conditions really are way down south. So, here is an up-close look at Antarctic weather.
I live in Minnesota, which is probably the second coldest state in the US after Alaska, and this video scares me too even though I have experienced -34 degrees Fahrenheit (about -37 degrees Celsius) (actual temperature, not wind chill).
I feel colder just watching the vid. Does anyone have an extra blanket?

This kitty just loves a spanking. I guess that makes this video puddy tat S&M?
What might a TV commercial look like if Joe Bob redneck were put in charge of filming it? Well, we found a few television commercials that just had to be filmed by good old Joe Bob, and we just so happen to have a few of them here for your viewing pleasure. Sit back and prepare to laugh.
Coloreria is a laundry detergent brand in Italy. Apparently their slogan is "colored is better." If you have complaints, take it up with Coloreria in Italy. The next one is another Coloreria, but you pretty much have to see the first one to understand the second one.
Okay, that one was weird, but it is from Italy. They look at the world a little differently than folks in the USA.
The squirrel saves the day. An unlikely hero, but it is TV after all.
I believe that they got their just desserts in that one. The only problem is that now our hero has a long walk home.
That one was my favorite. Why can't we get more of these kind of commercials in the US?
It is time for more Irish drinking stories, Irish blessings and Irish proverbs. Here are my latest:
Ballerina
A large obnoxious woman, wearing a sleeveless dress, walks into McCafferty‘s Pub and eyes the patrons drinking at the bar. Raising her right arm and revealing a huge, hairy armpit, she points to all the people sitting on bar stools and asks, “What man here will buy a lady a drink?”
The whole bar is struck silent as each patron tries his best to ignore her. However, down at the end of the bar, old Colin Collins, drunk as could be, slams his money down on the bar bellowing, “Give the ballerina a drink!”
McCafferty, the bartender, pours the lady a pint of Guinness and she downs the entire drink immediately. Turning again to the pub’s patrons, she again points at all of them with a sweep of her immense arm, revealing the same hairy armpit, and asks, “What man here will buy a lady a drink?”
And again, old Colin slaps his money down upon the bar, saying: “Give the ballerina another drink!”
McCafferty approaches Colin asking “Colin, my old friend, it is your business if you want to buy this woman a drink, but why do you keep calling her the ballerina?”
Old Colin, in his drunken stupor, replies, “Any woman who can lift her leg that high has to be a ballerina!”

Devotion to Your Lover
Timothy O’Sullivan and Michael O’Connor were out hacking at the fairways one beautiful Spring day.
Just as Timothy was about to chip onto the 9th green, he spied a long funeral procession parading down the road adjacent to the golf course.
Timothy halted his swing, removed his cap, and bowed his head reverently in prayer.
Upon seeing his friend responding so fervently to the funeral procession Michael said, “Timmy, I am amazed at ye. That is one of the most remarkably touching things I have ever seen ye do. Ye are truly kind and a man of God, ye are.”
To which Timothy replied, “Well, ye know, it’s the least I can do. We were married 35 years, we were.”

May you have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night, and a smooth road all the way to your door.

Modern Medicine
Old Thomas O'Doherty was increasingly afflicted with terrible headaches as he aged. Eventually his love life began to suffer because of the headaches, so he decided to seek medical advice.
However, he went from one specialist to another without finding a cure. One day he went to see Dr. Flynn, who finally was able to solve Thomas’ headache affliction.
Said Dr. Flynn, "I have both good and bad news. The good news is I can cure your headaches, but the bad news is that the cure will require the surgical removal of your testicles.”
“I am afraid that you have an unusually rare condition that causes your testicles to press up against the base of your spine. The resulting pressure is creating one enormous headache, and the only way to ease the pressure is to take out your testicles.”
Poor Thomas took the news with both shock and despair. “Do I have anything left to live for?” He wondered.
But Thomas felt so anguished, he could not even formulate an answer to his own question. However, he finally decided that he had no choice. The testicles must go.
After the surgery as Thomas left the hospital, he rejoiced that his headaches were now gone. However, he felt depressed because an important part of himself was also gone.
While walking down the street, he realized that his life might now be greatly improved. He could now make a new beginning for himself and live a pain free life.
As he strode past a men's clothing store, Thomas thought, “A new suit would be a fitting celebration.”
After entering the shop Thomas told the salesman, “I have decided to treat myself to a new suit.”
After eyeing Thomas from head to toe, the salesman said, “You look like a size 44 long.”
Thomas was amazed and laughed, “however did you know?”
“It's my job,” replied the salesman.
Upon trying on a 44 long, Thomas found that it fit perfectly. As Thomas admired himself in the mirror, the salesman inquired, “Perhaps you would like a new shirt to compliment your new suit?"
Thomas responded, “Why not?”
Once again the salesman eyed Thomas’ neck and arms, saying, “Looks to me like a 16 and one half neck and a 35 sleeve.”
“That is amazing,” said Thomas. “But however did you know?”
“It's my job,” said the salesman.
As Thomas tried on the shirt, of course it fit perfectly. Then the salesman asked, “I believe that we have the perfect new shoes to go with your new suit!”
Thomas replied, “Let’s go for it!”
Once again the salesman’s magic eye perused Thomas’ feet, and he said, “I believe 9-1/2 E.”
Thomas was astonished, “Right again! However did you know?”
“It's my job,” responded the salesman.
Naturally, the shoes fit perfectly. As Thomas admired his new look in the mirror, the salesman said, “Underwear!”
Immediately Thomas replied, “Alright.”
As he eyed Thomas again the salesman said, “Size 36 waist.”
This time Thomas laughed, “It looks like I’ve got you this time. I have worn size 34 since I was only 18 years old.”
But the salesman shook his head saying, “Sir, you cannot wear a size 34. That would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one enormous headache.”

Here's to you, as good as you are. Here's to me as bad as I am. As good as you are and as bad as I am, I'm as good as you are, as bad as I am.
The video below is Celtic Woman singing "Over the Rainbow."
As potholes go, this is one heavy-duty redneck hole in the ground. You will not likely find many other potholes that will challenge your driving skills as much as this one will.
Hopefully the parking lot folks didn't charge our victim much to park in this spot because that would be rubbing salt into the wound. This redneck is going to need something even better than 4-wheel drive to escape from this parking misadventure.
Perhaps a few good ol' boys will be milling around come quitting time. Those boys would need to be empathetic gents who exhibit a willingness to pitch in and help our redneck pothole victim extricate himself from this parking lot morass that is attempting to swallow his ride.
Half price just doesn't cut it when describing this misadventure. Call it half off and you have more aptly characterized the remains of this redneck vehicle. Even 50% off would work better.
Now, if this car does not have rear wheel drive, you will be in for a major disappointment when you shift into gear. And once you start tooling down the old highway, things are going to get a mite breezy so bring a sweater.
It is pretty obvious that traveling in this manner gives a whole new meaning to the concept of back seat driver because, in this case, the back seat driver is also the front seat driver.
Plus you can no longer call this cut-rate wonder a sedan, but it's still not a coupe either--not even a sports coupe. I guess we will just have to label it sporty and leave it at that.
In our first video, it's almost tanks for the memories:
Those tank drivers act like they are the only ones on the road, for Pete's sake! That guy needs a bumper sticker that says, "My other car is a Bradley armored vehicle!"
Our next video has redneck written all over it. This video describes redneck better than any other in recent memory. Give a look:
Blonde jokes can be very funny. Here are a few more:
Elisha, a gorgeous blonde, received a new cell phone from her husband as a birthday gift. She had never owned a cell phone before.
The following day, while she was shopping at Target, her phone rang, and she answered it.
It was her husband, who said, “How do you like the new cell phone?”
Elisha replied, “It’s great, but how did you know I was at Target?”
*****
A beautiful blonde suspected that her boyfriend was cheating on her with her best friend. Because she was so depressed over the situation, she went to a gun store and bought a revolver.
Later that day she went to his apartment with the gun in her purse. Upon arrival she used her key to enter the apartment quietly. Then she sneaked up to his bedroom door.
She quickly threw open the door and saw her boyfriend lying in bed in the arms of her best friend. Unsure what to do next and overcome with grief, she pointed the revolver at the side her head.
Her boyfriend screamed, "Baby, please! Don't do it!"
The blonde yelled back, "Shut up! You're next!"
*****
One day a stunningly beautiful blonde was riding a horse. As they trotted along the blonde decided that she wanted to go faster and get the horse to perform a few tricks.
She began to turn the horse around in a circle. Suddenly, she started to slip and she grabbed the horse’s mane to keep from falling off. However, that did not completely prevent her from falling and she continued to slip.
She felt that the best thing to do was to jam her foot tightly into the stirrup.
Soon she was riding along hanging from the horse by just her foot, with her head banging on the ground.
Frantic with fear, she was almost near death when the K-Mart guy came over and turned off the horse.
Our video shows another cute blonde using a microphone as only a blonde can:
Here are links to some of my favorite photos from 2007. Most are funny photos, but a couple simply struck me as unique:
Redneck Penguins - People are not alone in embracing the redneck lifestyle. These two penguins rank right up there with their human counterparts. It may not seem like this is a photo, but it is animation, which is a series of images or photos, and that is why it is included here.
Redneck High School Reunion - Aah! The practical joke! The photographer who captured this moment should win an award for a photo that plants in the reader's mind vivid anticipation of a moment coming soon.
Headless Redneck Businessman - How does the saying go? If you can keep your head when all others around you are losing theirs...
Alcoholic Elephants on the Rampage - A rampaging elephant is a sight to behold, but an alcoholic elephant on the rampage is rarer still...until lately. See why.
Creative Redneck Transportation - Here is a motorcycle unlike any other. What would possess your local redneck to manufacture a machine like this?
Funny Photos - These guys do not appear to be very conscientious as firemen go. Hopefully their attitude is a minority one.
Redneck Wireless Telephone Call - When you gotta go you gotta go, but you hate to miss an important phone call at the same time. Here is the solution.
Redneck Mercedes - Leave it to a redneck to degrade a classic vehicle like a Mercedes simply to enable viewing the world sideways.
We have neglected our redneck graffiti for awhile, so it is time for another installment. Here are a few choice ones.
You have to admire Bubba's frugality. That guy sure knows how to save a buck. Think I'll git him to help me "shop" for some new tires for my car.
That was sure some quick thinking on Billy Bob's part. That must have been a bad fire because I have heard that manure burns slowly and for a long time.
Ol' Betty Lu is always thinking because I never knew that airplanes got that breezy.
We will leave with the eternal question of:
How do you know when you're staying in a Redneck hotel?
When you pick up the phone, call the front desk and say, "I've got a leak in my sink," and the person at the front desk replies, "Well, ya’ll go right ahead."
Here are links to some of my favorite videos from 2007. Regardless of your taste, there is not a loser in the bunch:
Bathroom Break - by Jamie Kennedy, who is often an incredibly funny comedian. This video is one of the very best.
Sneak Thief Caught in the Act - A remarkably resourceful and clever gull actually figured out how to steal food from a convenience store.
Greatest Breasts in the World - Although this is a guy thing, this video can be hypnotic. It is definitely one of the best.
Redneck Slingshot - This video is typical of the redneck mentality. Not many mothers would want their daughter doing anything remotely close to this. But that is why it is funny.
Wedding Fight - If you like a good fight, this one of a Ukranian wedding is hilarious. With enough vodka in them these Russians will even beat up women.
Hot Dumb Blonde - Why is it that attractive blondes are often shortchanged intellectually? Perhaps it is God's way of evening things up. In any case, this vid is really classic.
Paul Potts - Paul Potts was a diamond in the rough when he entered Britain's Got Talent TV show contest. The video is remarkably heartwarming.
Redneck Mercedes - A German homeowner becomes fed up with the speeding traffic whizzing by his home and comes up with a redneck solution. Very entertaining.
Redneck Restroom - A remarkably clever idea. The video creator replaced a German rest room mirror with glass and substituted actors for what should be the reflection in the mirror. The result is very funny.
Redneck Dance King - A middle aged employee in a store with rock background music lets it all hang out, but he is not the best dancer you have seen. Remarkably funny.
Redneck Hotel Maid - A short video with a very funny ending. Never trust your hotel maid again.
Lethal Snake Bite? - Poisonous snakes in the Middle East can be killers. Watch what happens when one sneaks up on these gentlemen.
This is Redneck Woman - A video compilation of many redneck women set to music. Very, very good.
Watch this Building Fall Down - A building in Serat, India, falls down all by itself and it is caught on video. Remarkable video!
Evolution of Dance - Chances are good that you have already seen this one, but the dancing is remarkable. Worth watching. Redneck Heaven - Another video compilation set to music (Dueling Banjos). Very entertaining.
Drunk Humor - A police officer is trying to administer a a sobriety test to an inebriated driver, but the driver flunks big time. Very funny.
Saudi Road Skating - This video brought the concept of road surfing to the world, but the Saudis did it first. Hard to believe video, but it's real.
McCafferty's Pub - a collection of video humor, jokes, funny stories, photos and anecdotes. Special sections are devoted to redneck humor, celebrity humor, grandchildren humor, humorous videos, barroom humor, clean men's room humor and a lot more. If nothing else, you will leave us a bit refreshed.
The good Lord created only two kinds of people in the world: those who are Irish and those who wish they were.
