The Baraboo Chronicles
I haven't been able to post a celebrity round up this week and it sort of pisses me off. People like to use Xanga and have stuck by this site despite the surge of Facebook and Myspace but the Xanga team seems to just give the regular users a big fuck you by their lackluster service and pandering to the -ish sites. If only Xanga was a publicly traded company.
This weekend was an interesting one in this part of the world. The Croatian Sensation came through to visit his Milwaukee family. We got together for drinks on Saturday night but the news that broke Saturday afternoon was disturbing. Members of the Green Bay Packers were in town for a charity golf outing at Trapper's Turn golf course in beautiful Wisconsin Dells. They were staying at the Wilderness Resort and one thing led to another and one player gets accused or raping two women. They took 7 players into custody and for questioning. They released 6 of the players and kept the seventh in custody. This player is the one accused of rape. The police are not releasing a name and it's amazing that everyone has their lips sealed. Well today a news agency reported that the district attorney is having difficulties making a case since the accusers are constantly changing their stories. One of my connections dropped a name possibility and it scares me of the ramifications. Anyway I'm keeping my eyes and ears open on that one.
As for the Croatian Sensation and his wife who needs a nickname...hmmm...Rojo Caliente???...met me at a bar in the most haunted town in Wisconsin, Baraboo. We had a few beers, Spotted Cow and Blue Moon, and Rojo Caliente had to go back to the room because she is pregnant. No she wasn't drinking even though she would be drinking for two, she was getting sick of the smoke. Even though Wisconsin claims to be progressive we still are backwards and allow smoking in public buildings but that changes July 5th. Anyway back at their room, I was introduced to new beers, Nordeast and Schell's Hoppfen Malz. I was in heaven. Well the night took a strange turn when we decided to head back to the bar. We walked through the lobby of the motel because I had to load up beer in my vehicle. We are in the entryway and this guy stops us. "Hey guys, there's two kids making out out there. Tell them to get a room." I smiled and was was going to oblige. I start to say it but all I get out was "Hey". I saw the kids and that's when it got bizarre. If you want to know what was so bizarre, deposit $10 in my Paypal account...pay-per-read FTW!
Back at the bar I decided to be a good boy and stick with non-alcoholic drinks but my mind was altered. Lust made me drunk. The bartender was displaying her implants and then a few of the kareoke singers were rivaling the bartender in the chesticle area. Chain restaurants were discussed, pop switched to Crown Royal. The next thing I know, I'm listening to Guns N' Roses and drinking Sambuca. Fun times were had by a few.
So in lieu of a Celebrity Round Up or a Mash-Up Madness post, I'm just going to give you some random photos.
What men really want?
I think that is a bit much unless you are working at Taco Bell
Hey, look, it's the new double stuffed ore-hoes.
Sometimes it gets really boring and there is nothing better to do.
The New York City police department have adopted a new nickname, NYPD Blew. They are still going to go by their old motto, "To Serve and Protect" because they are down with the service part but protection gets a bit sketchy especially if they have been drinking.
Amen?
The new official crayons of the state of Arizona.
My future wife.
Even Mario has been hurt by the oil spill.
Hey, pregnant dude, you shouldn't be celebrating just yet. It looks like your baby is merely crowning.
Animals are so like us. Man if I didn't shave the back hair and my ex didn't shave her pits, it'd be like looking in a mirror.Once again someone documented my dancing. I should dance like everyone is watching. I have a feeling that a certain Green Bay Packer is going to be doing this dance in the next few hours. Oh and there may be a clue to the identity of the accused in the video.
Maybe my incessant complaining worked because things seem to be working. Have a great day.

Haha, I like the google searches!
The Google searches are quite revealing.
That crayola thing...WHOA!
OOOOOH god I need some soap for my eyes!
But seriously, on the smoking ban. I haven't been to a bar since the ban took effect here. And I don't really smoke, except when I'm at bars (or, I guess, when someone plunks a hookah in front of me). It's an atmosphere thing. Especially in the blues clubs.
I always found that a little strange... if there were sooo many people who hated smoky bars, why had every single non-smoking bar failed? I don't get that. I would have much preferred if the bars were allowed to have two facilities... one for smokers and one for non-smokers.
I love reading these! Thanks for cheering me up!
I love the crayons, lol.
I wonder if every xanga complained and they are just taking a long time to get back to people. Or maybe they are also addicted to facebook...
@nattata -
They are very telling
@Unstoppable_Inner_Strength -
Sometimes it scares me to think what the next generation will be like when they are adults.
@ithiliya -
I guess I am on the fence with smoking bans. I don't like them because they invade personal liberties but I like them because I cannot function in smoke with asthma. I think that if a bar only has smoking going for it then it has issues but I can understand that smoking and bars go hand in hand. Oh my head is going to explode.
@arizona_romance -
Thank you, I'm glad I could cheer you up.
@Melissa___Dawn -
Sadly, that is basically what it has come to out there.
@NightlyDreams -
If anything, they're addicted to making my life a living hell. Oh and about 2 years ago I emailed them when the audio wasn't working and they never replied. I emailed them once a day for a week straight. Not a single answer.
@godfatherofgreenbay -
well if it makes any difference i don't think they like me either.
I appreciate it
@godfatherofgreenbay -
Well, you drink to unwind, and you smoke to do the same, so I guess it makes a bit of sense. I just think the smoking bans have gone WAY too over the top. Here, you can build a shed outside your establishment for smokers to go to, but you cannot, in any way, connect it to your building... not even with an awning. It's pretty silly. I mean, if you're building a separate area completely contained, why can't you serve booze there, too? You know, just as long as you have facilities for both? Doesn't make sense to me.
Xanga messing up hasn't bothered me too much. I could still blog and comment. Myspace on the other hand..........It messes up every time I sign in and I can't send messages, or anything. And I do love your celebrity round up. It's very interesting to read. Did you read about what Tila Tequila did this week?
@Shining_Garnet -
when I wrote this Xanga had finally resolved it's photo issues. I couldn't upload them on Friday or Saturday. And I am just seeing reports about Tila...sometimes I wish someone close to her would sit her down and just scream at her about all her nonsense.
@ithiliya -
You're right, that doesn't make sense. I've noticed Madison's ban doesn't do the work it's intended to do because all the smokers hover around the entrance so when you go in and exit you walk through a cloud of smoke that is actually worse than being in an establishment that features smoking. Also whenever the door opens you get blasts of smoke. Oh and that reminds me...4/20 concert at a place down there, everyone smoking weed, that made for an interesting cloud outside the entrance.
@godfatherofgreenbay - Well, the law here says that you have to be at least 15 feet from all entrances, but no one pays attention to that, so the effect is about the same. And you're right, it is actually worse to have to walk through that concentrated cloud than to sit in a bar with air conditioning and ventilation. If they relaxed the rules just a bit (allow the separate smoking facility to be attached to the building) we wouldn't have that problem.
@ithiliya -
I guess I wouldn't mind the attached part as long as there is no contact with the smoke. I still remeber the old days of restaurants having smoking sections and it never worked.
@godfatherofgreenbay - Sometimes they did, sometimes they didn't. Most restaurants, for some reason, had the smoking sections in the front, which it doesn't take a genius to figure out that it kinda defeats the purpose. But I'd been in restaurants that had a completely sectioned-off area in the back for smokers, and that seemed to work just fine.
