PC - Isn't selective editing redundant? You put in the facts as they substantiate your point. No more, no less.

Like, someone arguing I was a bad basketball player wouldn't reference the fact I put up a double-doubs at UW-Stevens Point in the National Tourney and may have been the last player to hold Kalsow under double digits in his career. They'd point to my airballed free throws (plural) and my general lack of offensive skills for that, much as I tried to do for The Gambler

As people finally see Sportscenter tonight and see the soccer play I brought up earlier, I will make another point that's football related. The Concordia guys should remember this one with a chuckle...

My freshman year, we were playing the Cobbers on the hill at GAC. I caught a seam pattern, but Walter Sobchak led me a little too close to the opposite hash mark. I caught the ball and had just enough time to look up and see the fat safety ready to clean my clock. He did just that, putting his helmet on the ball and sending it roughly 30-40 feet in the air as players crambled to recover the fumble. Me? I was laying on the ground sucking air.

As Mongo and Frank can attest from film review, it looked eerily similar to the play that happened yesterday.

*For reference, this is NOT a good way to make a good first impression with the chicks on campus. "Oh, you're that guy that got piss pounded and fumbled earlier today, right?"

Touché. But the thought occurred to me -- you're a reporter by trade, I'm an editor by trade, and we both did our job in that situation.

Hey KR did you ever make it down to Husty or Watertown??

[DuffMan]

KR, did you get a look at the "Blongo-balls" set?  Just wondering the quality of it.  I've seen versions at Fleet Farm that are absolute crap, but they're cheaper.  I made a really nice set for my parents, and the materials ended up costing around $40.

[Kilted Rat]

Made it to Husty, went to the Lone Pine, apparently the Karen who owns it had the hots for PapaKR back in the day and as such, PapaKR and I drank for free while we sat and BS'd with Karen.

The problem with Husty right now is Highway E is torn to sh*t from 60 all the way into town, like down to dirt and gravel, but the beer was cold. Unfortunately they don't have Hamm's.  Also, Radloff's being closed sucks @ss. I loved that place and Kevin was another classmate of my dad's.

We drove through Watertown on the way to Johnson Creek, but didn't make any stops.

MrsKR had never heard of Piggly Wiggly Grocery stores before and found the name hilarious, so she wanted us to stop at one so she could buy something. Unfortunately the Pig in Watertown is no longer, so we'll have to find one on our next trip to Cheese Land.




Duff,
I didn't look real close at them, but they looked pretty solid. Something seems wrong about buying a set of Hang your balls.
They had them right by the checkout, apparently Scheels is expecting a lot of people to drop $60 on an impulse buy.

From the Hustisford.com website, Here is the police dept.

Notice they have a Police chief and 1 Part time officer.

KR, being the Wiscy officianado that you are, you got it right that the land o' cheese still has a mainstay of Piggly Wigglys.

We get their TV ads on our version of the Fox Sports North all the time.

Funny part is in their jingle they keep singing "Shop the Pig! Shop the Pig!"

Coming from the land of Spam growing up, I always think that means take the pig to the shop and slice 'em up.

Hormel has an old saying about pork processing. "The only thing we don't use is the squeal!"

Y'all should enjoy the following regardless of your persuasion...

Watched the "Coneheads" movie last night (not sure whether to blame KR for this sudden interest in this kind of movie after he talked me into watching Dumb and Dumber - the NY Times says the movie is aimed squarely at those who found "Wayne's World" too demanding).  Anyway, one scene had Adam Sandler helping Beldar (Aykroyd) assume a new identity.  The part that knocked me off my feet was when Sandler taught him to say that he attended Hobart College.  Bet the guys on the LLPP love that line.

Thought you Twins fans would enjoy this article from todays SF paper ascribing the current Giants death rattle to the trade for AJ.

Keep you social calendars open for Friday night, July 21 for the MIAC Night at the Chaska baseball park when the Chaska Cubs host Rochester. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Wear something from your MIAC school and you get into the game free.

Stiftungsfest burgers will be served. The stadium is located at 725 West 1st Street, which is on the west side of Chaska, just below highway 212. Hope we have a great turnout. It would even be nice to have someone from Bethel in attendance.

You are driving in a car at a constant speed. On your left side is a valley and on your right side is a fire engine traveling at the same speed as you. In front of you is a galloping pig which is the same size as your car and you cannot overtake it. Behind you is a helicopter flying at ground level. Both the giant pig and the helicopter are also traveling at the same speed as you.



What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?

Get off the children's Merry-Go-Round, you're drunk.

"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. "

Gotta love that movie.  I choose Business Ethics.
