It's not too early to be thinking about College Football, is it?

I’ve been to my share of football stadiums, and nothing really compares to the experience of a Badgers game at Camp Randall. I came across this schedule today. 11:00 AM starts bum me out, but on the bright side, it allows for an earlier start at the Essen Haus....

Brewers fans, Cubs fans, can't we all just get along?!

I’m a fan of both teams. How can this be possible? Here’s the explaination, hopefully for the last time. A few minutes ago I received an e-mail from our friend Hollywood Andy titled “Go Cubs!!!!!!!Mein Chuck”. Attached to it was this photoshop masterpiece. C’mon! Has the line been crossed?! Hell, was there ever even a line in the first...

Lollapalooza Schedule

Bryan, Dan, Les and I spent the Sunday of 2005’s Buchs Weekend desperately looking for shade at Lollapalooza. The next day’s Tribune reported that it was the hottest day in a decade. Let’s hope it’s a little cooler this year. Last week the music festival’s organizers revealed the 2006 schedule. Wow, It looks great. The top acts that I’d...

Borat

Ali G In Da House, is one of the most underrated comedies of the past ten years. HBO’s Ali G Show rarely disappointed either. Sacha Baron Cohen’s Ali G and Bruno characters are good, but his bits as the Borat character are comic gold. Here’s a link to most of the Borat segments from HBO’s Ali G Show. They’re...

Lunch with Tony

Tony and I met for lunch today. There was a special on “Lobster-ritas” at the Red Lobster. We indulged. Tony is doing well. He told me that he’s rooting for me in the summer weight loss competition. He wants to see pictures of the loser. I say why wait until August?! Here’s a little peak into the future....

Grievance Day

I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it any more. Here are my most recent greivences: I was at the gym this morning. After my work out, I sat on the bench to disrobe before hitting the shower. This 80-something year old guy wanders in and plops down right next to me. I look around and just...

An afternoon at Wrigley Field

Last weekend started early for me as my Dad and I were invited to join my brother in law, Kory for an afternoon at Wrigley Field. Kory’s company had seats in one of the suites. Carlos Zambrano pitched. 24’s Tony Almeida sang at the seventh inning stretch. Even though the Cubs bullpen couldn’t hold the lead and they lost,...

That poor lady

Much like chocolate and peanut butter, some things are just better together. While goofing around on You Tube over the weekend, I found this clip. It’s of that lady getting punched in the face and Franz Ferdinand....

Masters of American Comics

This past Sunday I made a rare trip to the east side of the river to check out The Masters of American Comics exhibit at the Milwaukee Art Museum. If you haven’t seen it yet, go before August 13th. It’s a cool showcase of some of the more influential comic artists. I like the exhibit’s idea of establishing a...

At the Grocery Store

Ok, so I’m on my way into work this morning and I start thinking about how I made the last of the coffee I had there on Friday. I swing into Pick N’Save to buy a bag. As I stood mulling over my options in the coffee aisle, an elderly woman approaches me. She says to me, “Excuse me but...

My New Favorite Things - June 2006

Diet Lipton Green Tea with Citrus Natural Flavors - Holy Delicious! Saturday Night Fever - I’ve been vocal about my dislike of John Travolta’s recent work, but have you seen this movie recently?!! WOW! It was on HBO over the weekend. I hadn’t seen it in such a long time that I didn’t remember the movie very well. Travolta...

Extreme Wilderness Challenge 2006

I don’t know how all of these internet rumors start, but I should clear one of them up right now. YES, It’s true. Last weekend, I killed a giant bear with my bare hands and saved the lives of my fellow campers. Let’s not make a big deal about it, OK? Unfortunately, there weren’t any cameras present for that, but...
