Recently I wrote a post in bed one night. Literally (although I suppose these days that’s hardly a big achievement). I was reading through a list of new apps that had been released on the iPhone’s App Store and one had caught my eye – iBlogger…
After installing it, I was eager to give it a try, so I immediately posted this article about two gaming stores being next to each other in a shopping centre in Sydney, Australia (Games Workshop, and the appropriately named, Game store).
Well… Little did I know it, but I was being watched. The people who made the highly excellent software that I had used to create the article were looking to see how it was being used, and they stumbled across my little missive. They noticed that I had managed to reference a Polka in the article too. They even posted about it on their main site. Apparently I had inadvertently referenced the polka classic “In Heaven There Is No Beer”.
Well… At first I thought that it was really really awesome that the company that had made the software that I had used (and really really really enjoyed too by the way 
) had linked to the article that I had written. It didn’t take long however until I started to feel a little guilty…
I had not deliberately referenced a polka…
Doubt filled me and I started to worry that people would think I was some kind of polka charlatan. So, here are my Polka Credentials.
- I spent most of my childhood in country Pennsylvania. There is a lot of Polka in Pennsyvlania…
- I really like the Finnish Black Metal Polka band Finntroll
- One of my favourite characters in Home Alone is John Candy‘s character as Gus Polinski, the “Polka King of the Midwest”
- I recently cheered mightly at the Polka house band at the Lowenbrau restaurant at the Rocks in Sydney
