They often say start off with a joke so...What's the difference between my paycheck and my penis?  I have women lined up around the block that are willing to blow my paycheck.

As I mentioned in my Celebrity Round Up I went with my dad to see his doctor in a follow up.  He really did talk to me about what the visit was for just that he had to go.  My dad was more interested in where we would eat.  We decided on a local restaurant called Pizza Doctors.  The city where my dad goes to see the doctor has three post-secondary schools all with majors in medicine so it is a fitting restaurant for this place.

You walk in and immediately think of a hospital because you see IV bags hanging above the pop machines.  Also they have the silverware labeled and I can't remember all the cute names off-hand but I remember they label knives as scalpels. Usually whenever I have been there it is for their lunch buffet which they call the Mid-Day Check-Up.  I remember a particular fun time going there in high school.  One of my science classes went to a university to see a display and we talked the teacher into letting us go to lunch at this place.  We annihilated that buffet.  4/5ths of the varsity football team's offensive line ate that day so go figure.  They have amazing pizza and when you want to create your own they call that the Operating Room with Exploratory toppings and they call their appetizers pre-op which doesn't sound that appetizing.  If you want drinks, you get Local Anesthetics and if beer is your game that is a General Anesthetic.   They offer a special buffet usually once or twice a week but for the month they offer it every evening.  This buffet is called Exploratory Surgery and it features all their specialty pizzas.  My dad and I were the first people to arrive so they ask us what we want.  They offer 24 specialty pizzas not to mention all the regular combination.  Then they also offer 22 different dessert pizzas.

This was the largest meal I ate in some time.  No I didn't try all of those but I just wanted to share their menu.

The other highlight of my weekend was Saturday.  That is when the most important game between a team from Wisconsin and Minnesota took place.  Screw that Brett Favre, the Paul Bunyan Axe is more important to me.  The University of Wisconsin and Minnesota have one of the longest football rivalries in major college football.  Many college rivalries play for trophies and this rivalry is like all the others.  They used to play for what was called The Slab of Bacon but it was "lost" in the Wisconsin athletic department sometime in 1943 so in 1948 a new trophy was introduced and that was the Paul Bunyan Axe.

I couldn't find a color photo of the trophy that wasn't "in use".  That is simply what it looks like.  One side is red for Wisconsin and the other side is gold for Minnesota.  The handle contains the outcomes of each game from the inception of this trophy.

There's an upclose shot of big Joe Thomas swinging the axe on the goal post.  The item in the oval is the original Slab of Bacon.  You know what, I bet Joe Thomas wishes he was back at the UW because they actually can win games unlike the Cleveland Browns.

The Paul Bunyan Axe is basically bragging rights between the two schools.  Although Minnesota leads the series between the two schools, Wisconsin has won the axe the most.  After Saturday, the Badgers have won the axe 6 straight times.  This makes me sad because the last time the Badgers lost the axe I was at the game in teh Metrodump.  It is quite the site to see.  It is brought out at half time and is kept under guard by police until the game is over and then the team runs over and grabs it and parades it around the stadium and then they proceed to go to the goal posts and "cut them down".

It's funny how the original lyrics to the University of Wisconsin's fight song "On Wisconsin" contained the lyrics "run the ball through Minnnesota"

My guys...much better than the NFL.

So this was from a couple of years ago but it still makes me happy to see those goal posts get chopped down.

Back where it belongs.

Man, I am loving this Badgers team this year.  Next week is going to be a challenge, at Ohio State.  I will have to do some more about the Badgers because I have so much more to say especially concerning the marching band.  You want to know how big of a party school the University of Wisconsin is?  Consider that THE MARCHING BAND was put on NCAA probation.  It's wild.  Last year I remember walking to the game and seeing 70 year old ladies doing beer bongs out of frat house top floors.  Playoby magazine used to rank the schools but they never included Wisconsin because they couldn't include the professionals with the amateurs. 

I'll be back later with a Mash-Up Madness post.
