The OaKs: Thong Bike vs. Cooler Scooter (00:32)

Riding a 3 wheeled bike in a thong = weird. Riding a cooler with wheels and a motor strapped to it = perfectly alright.

The OaKs: Bi-Instrumental (00:39)

The OaKs laugh at those musicians who have mastered only one instrument. One instrument?? Ha! For shame!

The OaKs: Pass The Blame (1:00)

All of our country's problems aren't necessarily George Bush's fault. Some are his dad's as well.

The OaKs: Badge Nazis (00:29)

1 badge and some sweet talk might work to get 2, maybe 3 people tops into a SXSW venue. But 7? Oh no, the badge nazis don't play that shit.

The OaKs: Boring Ass Kicking (00:31)

"Assault With Boredom" sounds so much better and more creative than assault with a deadly weapon. Bonus - less jail time.

The OaKs: Just Say No To Tea (2:00)

When traveling in Afghanistan, it's customary to turn down someone's offer of free tea. Sweet, sweet opium, however? No, you take that shit, man!
