The weekend went by pretty fast. Saturday morning I ran errands. I discovered one of my favorite places in the world. It is a store simply called The Cheese Shop. I guess I don't have to explain what they sell. I was intrigued by two styles of cheese they carried. One was beer cheese. Beer was added during one of the processes and yes it was quite tasty. Then I found the cheese about which I have heard nothing but negative comments. LIMBURGER. I find it interesting that one of the bacteria that they use to ferment this cheese is one of the same bacterium that causes body odor in humans. The lady opened up the package for me to smell to see if I wanted to try it. The odor reminded me of my smelly socks after a football game in which I played during high school that featured 3 seasons. It started off sunny and a little chilly and then moved to rain and then to heavy snow. That smell was repulsive. I ate it anyway with fried onions on rye bread. That was some good eating. This 80+ year old guy told me some stories I already knew about my grandfather and how at his shoe and harness store they would sit in the back and play cards and eat limburger cheese. He said that you could discern which smelled worse, the cheese or the guys giving off gas from the cheese and beer and onions. Well after my sandwich I picked up the cheese try my parents ordered. I then went to pick up 10 dozen buns from the local bakery. the lady behind the counter said that I am really looking like my grandfather.
I met up with my family and we delivered the food to the church and then we went off to a grocery store in a nearby town but first we stopped at the Chinese restaurant. I think I saw the most beautiful woman in the world or that was what I thought when I first saw her. I was hypnotized by her beauty. I didn't even mind her four kids or her husband, well, yes, the husband sort of threw me off. She winked at me and that sent me over the edge. The husband knew I was looking but he didn't do anything seeing I was probably a foot taller than him and had a few bills on him in the weight department. I knew nothing would happen but it was just the beauty that I was so enamored with. Anyway, when they left I was able to enjoy my crab rangoons.
The parents picked up their food and we went home. I started cooking 4 pound of pork in a slow cooker. I added some dry rub and a touch of honey to the meat and then I let it cook. Oh that stuff was smelling so good. Let it cook until I went to bed and then put it in the fridge. My mom made sloppy joes for the shindig. Oh and to keep the meat from drying out I added vegetable stock to it to keep it moist. Well I went to church and set everything up Sunday morning.
We had a lot of food and this huge cake. Well there were a lot of people there. The cheese tray we got was for 50-60 people and there wasn't any cheese left. Out of the 10 dozen buns I got, there was only 1 dozen left. All the sloppy joe was gone as was the pork. We had a lot of cake left over but I guess that was ok. My mom introduced me to someone that she works with at the hospital. Little did my mom know that I already knew the doctor, not through me seeing her for an appointment but for other reasons. I walked one night to the dollar store and she was there and was basically a fish out of water in this small town and I carried her bags home. Ah, I am such a sap. I helped clean up and then I came home to collapse.
Well my mom wants me to come to this family night at our church. I decide to take some beer. Cue lightning bolts. The pastor and I start talking about beer and he has his son go get a few bottles from his collection. We sat back and enjoyed microbrews.
I get home and decide to go to bed but I can't sleep. I tooled around on the net and then decided to put in a DVD. Which one? I only have about 1200 to choose from. I decided on Kentucky Friend Movie. It is directed by John Landis who also directed such classics as Animal House, The Blues Brothers, Three Amigos and Michael Jackson's Thriller video. Kentucky Fried Movie was written by Jim Abrahams and David and Jerry Zucker. Abrahams is probably best known for penning Airplane, the Hot Shots movies, the Naked Gun movies, and Top Secret!. The Zucker brothers wrote BASEketball, Naked Gun, and Airplane. Abrahams and the Zuckers will probably be best known for giving the world the parody movie, and Kentucky Fried Movie is probably my favorite.
There is absolutely no plot to this movie. It is a collection of tasteless skits. The movie is hilarious and left me in stitches. I think it is one of those movies that you can watch at any time and if you are in a bad mood it will cheer you up. Here are some clips.
This next one is for the 18+ crew.

How relevant is this video today? I think we should tap into these resources.
OK, well wasn't that offensive? I only heard about this movie after hearing it mentioned in my favorite TV show, Freaks and Geeks. The father would not let his son see the movie so I decided I needed to find out what Kentucky Fried Movie was all about. I am glad I found it on dvd.
Well I have to get to bed now. I am leaving early in the morning to take my dad to the eye doctor to see if there has been any progress with his cornea transplants. Then baby clothes shopping(not for me but for my friend's son who turned a year old. Hoping to find some Brewers merchandise). Maybe make a visit to Camp Randall. Well I need to get out of here. Have a good day.
