  • VP Debate Tonight

    Hey if you plan on watching the Vice Presidential debate tonight, I have something for you.  No it isn't a fact sheet for all the lies that Sarah Palin says(Thanks, but no thanks...BULLSHIT!) or a pillow in case Joe Biden talks too long.  It is bingo cards.  Yes, bingo cards.  It's Palin Bingo!  Just follow the instructions on the website. 

    Oh and I'm trying to find some tickets to upcoming Badger games.  Minnesota or Cal Poly are looking games I'm looking at.

    Here are some videos why I want to get to some more games:

    That is seriously insane.  Camp Randall Stadium literally shakes when they play that song. 

    The famous 5th Quarter.  That is a sight to behold when the band plays Varsity and everyone in the stadium has their hands in the air and rock back and forth.  That also makes the stadium shake.  When the Badgers played at Minnesota a few years ago, there were more Wisconsin fans there and the UW band did the 5th Quarter right on the Metrodome carpet.  It was great to see the Sea of Red shaking the Metrodump.

    I miss coming out of that tunnel, of course it was only once, but I still miss it.

    I'll be back later with my regular update.  I am sort of one edge with all these break-ins so I am just sitting in my den listening to baseball and surfing.

  • Morning Shenanigans

    Where are Andy Taylor and Barney Fife when you need them?

    I received a phone call around 9:30 this morning from my next door neighbor.  I guess I should explain the neighborhood. 

    OK, so I hastily put this together just don't complain about the crappy art work.  I have yet to master MS Paint.  As you see I live on the corner.  My neighbors, the A's, had their house broken into.  That open space is mine, that is where my grandfather had all his trees and berry patches and grapevines. 

    So they had their house broken into and they didn't say what was taken or if anything was taken.  Then my mom called and said one of the doctors had his house broken into.  That place was about a block from my place.  Then my dad called and said another house within a block of my place was broken into.  It is so funny because as I mentioned in my last post this town is so small, like 1300.  The other strange thing about this string of break-ins is that they all occur after the local weekly newspaper(that's right this town is so small that there isn't much news to report sometimes there isn't enough to report on in a week) reported that the police force(2 officers+drug dog+part-time help from state police academy) will now being doing random foot patrols during the day because of reports of break-ins.  I wonder if this person is responding to the article.  I'm surprised I wasn't hit.  Maybe it is because I keep my car out under a motion detector because I am worried about gas theft. 

    So I decided I needed to go to DEFCON 3.  I got my handgun out and had my shotgun ready.  After a bit, I decided to put them away because the library is now open and there are many people walking back and forth between their cars and the library.  I also have my cats protecting me.



    I can't believe Lua pulled my gun out of the cabinet.  Well I am going to watch the Brewers.

  • Hevenu Shalom Aleichem

    Today was a dreary day.  I have been hampered the past few days with aches and pains due to my arthritis.  28 years old and already suffering serious arthritis problems.  That's what I get for 8 years of football, 4 years of baseball, 1 year of wrestling, and numerous years of unorganized sports.  All that fun you have in your youth, it all comes back to haunt you or so it seems.  I was planning on getting up around 5am and driving an hour to see Barack Obama.  He held a rally in La Crosse today.  Something like 15,000 people attended and the people who got front row seats had camped out overnight.  Not me, it got down into the 40s last night.  Anyway I watched his speech and it was amazing to see the national media in little old La Crosse.  Maybe La Crosse isn't so small.  When you factor in all the towns surrounding it, La Crosse is fairly large.  Obama gave a lot of his new plans for this bailout.  He also talked about going to Octoberfest and drinking a few beers with everyone.  That was great to hear.  Palin may have delivered her famous, "Thanks, but no thanks."  I just thought it was awesome to have a presidential candidate in these parts because so often we are overlooked.  My dad was telling me today that when he was in high school Kennedy visited my dad's high school and hometown.  My hometown has a total population of 1300 and I am including all the pets.  Then I was on a high to know a presidential candidate visited us backwoods bumpkins, but I lost that high at about 1:30 when the Brewers game started.  They lost and it wasn't even a close game.  I hope tehy get back on track tomorrow.  Then I was down and out but I became happy when I saw the Cubs lost.  Yeah so that is where I am at right now and my Red Sox are up right now so I figure I better get through my comic book update.

    I'd be careful if I were you Bruce.  Hey shouldn't that "telescope" be showing how Bruce became Batman when his parents were murdered?

    My guess why Jimmy is living in a slum is that Superman is forcing him to live there or Superman stole all of Jimmy's money.

    I had a student once upon a time exactly like that. 

    OH NO! NOT THEM!  I think Them is the least threatening villains Wonder Woman has ever fought.  I really have no clue who Them are, I was thinking it was the band but I don't think that is right.  If it was Them, I'm sure they'd have Van Morrison challenging Wonder Woman to a drinking contest.

    I guarantee this made Shakespeare roll in his grave.

    Since when is The Punisher's armor made of macaroni?

    Can you guess the stereotype?  If you said all hippies are fat and hairy, you would be correct.  Every once in awhile I pick up an issue of The Nam.  It takes soldiers' stories of the war and puts them in comic book form.  Pretty entertaining though I am sure some have been sensationalized sort of like the difference between the BBC and Fox's versions of Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares.

    So now we know.  Superman is such a dick, he could have saved the Waynes but no he was probably using his x-ray vision to spy on women in their showers.

    Like this would be a fair fight.  Maybe they gave Muhammad Ali gloves made of kryptonite.  My other question is how did Batman get ringside seats.  Oh yeah!  His good friend Bruce Wayne gave them to him as a gift for keeping Gotham City crime free...relatively crime free except on a weekly basis when a criminal is released from prison and then procededs to devise a plan of crime.

    AH!  Spiderman is easy prey for the evil Fister.  Speakng of Pfister...a few years ago I attended a wedding in Milwaukee.  At the reception I asked where the bride and groom were going on their honeymoon and my friend, The Croatian Sensation replied, "Well, tonight they are staying at The Pfister(pronounced fister) in downtown Milwaukee."  I laughed for a couple seconds and said, "Well it is a fitting place to stay because it is their wedding night."  He looked at me and soon realized what my dirty mind was implying.  He said that I ruined him and that for his 23 years of life he had never even thought of that when he heard the name Pfister.  I am a perv sometimes. 

    Superman is such a dick!  He is tricking Lois, his girlfriend, into thinking he is a blackmailer and she is set to give him money and her secret.  Wow, somehow that sounds like a good plan.  I wish I had seen this when I went through my Jerry Springer moment in life.

    Oh, forgot to mention...Superman is also a racist.  Hmmmm...he and John McCain could be friends.  They both have printed and said derogartory comments directed at Asians.

    Well I hope I brought you peace this evening or morning depending on when you read.  I'll be back tomorrow to be random
