Let me look for it on YouTube. But know that a visit to YouTube normally distracts me for a awhile.

Well, that was easy. But believe it or not, the first video showing a hoe opening a bottle was different.  :o

Case used to have a "rodeo" every year in San Jose, California with a free steak dinner and booze. (that's why I went ;D)
Our company was one operator short so I got roped into it, never have so much as sat on an hoe, and obviously lost right off the bat trying to pour glasses of water from a pitcher fixed to the bucket.
That wasn't even the bad part! What I got teased about is that my girlfriend (who worked at a bank and was an aerobics instructor) won the wives event. They had a backhoe with a bowling ball hanging on about 4' of chain from the hoe and you had to swing it through a series of plywood cut-outs of people.
After that I heard every joke possible about going to the bank to hire some new help/skilled help/my replacement, ETC. :D
I will say though that it was definitely cool to see what real operators can do with their equipment.
