You remember Dave Carroll, the guy on Youtube who wrote the ‘United Breaks Guitars’ song? Well, he posted another video for all his fans who liked his first video. And he proves that he’s a good guy by asking United to give the money they want to compensate him for his guitar to a charity.

I think I may need to buy one of his albums. Even cooler, he’s still gonna write the last two songs he promised in his first video. (The entire United story is here.)

A friend of mine sent me this in email and while it is a little dated, it is still really really cool. Enjoy.

I hate when I misplace my cell phone. Especially when it’s the only phone I own. I found the neatest little web site that will call my phone so I can follow the ring. Actually, my friends will appreciate this site much more than I will…now they won’t have frantic chat messages from me begging them to call my cell phone!

Hello,
I see you have a calendar featuring Very Hot Swiss Farm Men (VHSFM).

I want to buy one every year for the rest of my life. Where can I buy them?
-Heather

Email returned promptly next day: (Gotta love the Swiss…)

Dear Heather,

The calendar 2010 is available on www.bauernkalender.ch. Unfortunately, that one of 2009 is already sold out. For order, just click “Bestellung” or send a contact mail to the person responsible.

Yours sincerely
Mirjam Hofstetter

So there ya have it. Here are some of the hopefuls getting their picture taken for this years calendar. They even have one guy who would appeal to women who prefer ‘the burly mountain man type’ proving that yes, there is a Swiss Farm man for all of us.

My preference? *grin*I like this guy. He looks the most approachable. This guy looks like a good guy too.

And yes. There is a calendar featuring the fine farm wives and daughters of Switzerland as well.

I don’t know what it is about German men that drive me crazy. Maybe it is because they can actually say my last name correctly the first time they see it. Or maybe it is because they are naturally anal retentive. Who knows. But I have to say, I’m very pleased to see that the Swiss Farmer’s Union and photographer Tina Steinauer are putting together a calendar featuring the Farm Men of Switzerland. The calendar comes out in 2010 and Spiegel Online had a few images of the hopefuls.

I’ve already sent an email as to where I can purchase this calendar as it was not clear from the Swiss Farmer’s Union site. I will post an update.
