That's a tough one, Duff. But I'd have to go with "b" for fewer, fresher beers. Besides, the 24's fit better into my antique beer fridge in the gee-rodge, as much as I hate to admit it.

BDB-As you are discovering, beer is one of the fringe benefits to raising children. They drive you to it. But the tables soon turn. Now that Fins, Jr. has a year at SJU under his belt, it seems whenever I pop one open, he's popping too. All part of a well-rounded education, I guess.
BTW, the correct answer to a 7 year old would probably be, "Oh, they're talking about sea-men. You know, the Navy guys who work on battleships."

Had to clean the screen on my computer after spitting coffee on it this morning after reading this one!!

An extremely modest man was in the hospital for a series of tests, the last of which had left his bodily systems extremely upset. Upon making several false alarm trips to the bathroom, he decided the latest episode was another and stayed put. He suddenly filled his bed with diarrhea and was embarrassed beyond his ability to remain rational. In a complete loss of composure he jumped out of bed, gathered up the bed sheets, and threw them out the hospital window. A drunk was walking by the hospital when the sheets landed on him. He started yelling, cursing, and swinging his arms violently trying to get the unknown things off, and ended up with the soiled sheets in a tangled pile at his feet. As the drunk stood there, unsteady on his feet, staring down at the sheets, a hospital security guard, (barely containing his laughter), and who had watched the whole incident, walked up and asked, "What the heck is going on here?" The drunk, still staring down replied: "I think I just beat the crap out of a ghost."

Thanks for the hint fins.

I'll keep working on my game.

Well, if Flomax produces a decrease in that kind of se[a]men, there are probably a lot of women in San Diego that might start taking it.

A business opportunity some of you may want to consider. It not only holds Hamms but it'll get you home, too.

A man walks into the street and manages to get a taxi just going by. He gets into the taxi, and the cabbie says, "Perfect timing. You're just like Frank."

Passenger: "Who?"

Cabbie: "Frank Feldman. There's a guy who did everything right. Like my coming along when you needed a cab. It would have happened like that to Frank every single time."

Passenger: "There are always a few clouds over everybody."

Cabbie: "Not Frank. He was a terrific athlete. He could have won the Grand-Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star and you should have heard him play the piano."

Passenger: "Sounds like he was something really special"

Cabbie: "There's more"......."He had a memory like a computer. He could remember everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order and which fork to eat them with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out."

Passenger: "Wow, some guy then"

Cabbie: "He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams, not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them."

Passenger: "Mmm, there's not many like him around."

Cabbie: "And he knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good and never answer her back even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too."

Passenger: "An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?"

Cabbie: "Well, I never actually met Frank."

Passenger: "Then how do you know so much about him?"

Cabbie: "I married his widow."

Top of the 9th, 2 outs....nobody on base...2 strikes on the batter....another Flomax commercial to get in before we lose the older male audience....

I think I'll let Konerko get a hit and then get the next guy out.

So, I was in MN last week for vacation..went to a Twinkies game (wasted the Brewers), then went to Lake Kabetogama up near International Falls for a week of fishing...caught a 40" Pike...pretty fun times! Thank the Lord for MN...what an unbelievable place...can't wait to come back after grad school!

Football season is coming!

+k for the fish and the Kabetogama reference. That's a nice fish. Good thing I left one for you.

Spent the morning with a Red Wing coach reminiscing (sp?) about our college days. Being the Cobber alum he is, he had nothing but terrible things to say about Gearman and his catch last season.

He spoke to Horan recently though and seemed convinced Concordia will be putting in fieldturf for football and baseball in the very near future. Maybe the NCAA wouldn't take away their home field advantage then

Johnnie Red · July 12, 2006, 02:53:26 PM

Willy Wonka, you know how to bring up wonderful memories for Johnnie fans! I knew after Gearman's touchdown against the Cobbers last fall that Christ really was Catholic and not Lutheran.

40" pike? Wow! Nice one. Let's see some pictures. Last summer I got a 38" and a 36" on back-to-back days...I was in heaven.

I think catching my limit of 12 ounce longnecks will put me in
heaven in this heat. 8)

I am just flabbergasted. You guys all missed the most important/ironic word within MR's post.

WASTED: I never thought I'd hear this in conjunction with a Bethel poster. Johnnie Red what do you think about this?
