Hello world! I’m finally back in the world of digitalia, I won’t even start to tell you how crazy like a Bald Britney certain helpdesks and internet providers have made me this last month, but damn them all to the fiery pits of hell, is all I’m saying. Ok, now that that’s out of the way I want to say how impressed I am at how The Great And Powerful Bean has managed to move from the wretched blogger and keep up 100b so beautifully for so long.

On to greener and poppier pastures! Remember the wonderful year of 1982? Yeah me either, but I do remember this excellent song by the two Brummie sets of brothers of Musical Youth. I always wondered what a dutchie was, and apparently it’s a Dutch oven. Why then do we have to “pass it from the left hand side”?

Well, the boys and their target audience were too young to be singing about weed or ganja or mary jane or grass or whatever we’re calling it now, so they changed the words of The Mighty Diamonds’s song “Pass The Kouchie” - which happens to be about sharing a blunt with your friends, to something less intoxicating and more kid friendly. Since it’s a true Poptastic song it doesn’t matter that it doesn’t make much sense, it’s all about squeezing the most out of a catchy tune and a cute bunch of kids.

Oh and yes, kouchie means marijuana … if you, like me, thought it meant something more naughty then get your head out of the gutter you dirty, dirty, gutter head.
