Did everyone get the 2010 issue of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit magazine yesterday? Always nice to see Danica Patrick make it for a second year in a row and our local Minnesota alpine skiing celeb Lindsey Vonn featured. Unfortunately, Paris Hilton has yet to make it.

Anyone heading to New Ulm this Saturday for the Bock Fest at the Schell's Brewery? Duffman, are you making the trip?

The Mrs. and I will be there.

Unfortunately, another year will pass without me at the Bockfest. However, good times will be had at the 6th Annual Pearl Lake Ice Fishing Contest on Saturday. The Eelpout Festival is still on the radar, 50/50 chance of me going to that.

Both of Lindsey Vonn's parents were law school classmates of mine. I read somewhere that she got a restraining order against Pops a few years ago cuz he wanted to run her career or something like that. Never trust a lawyer.

+k!

I was surprised to see that the Winner of the PGA Qualification School, Troy Merritt, attended, and played college golf at Winona State University for his first two years. My mother still lives there, and I have a friend that I play golf with when I visit her, who worked at Winona State, and he never mentioned it.

Wait a second,  I trusted you didn't I?

Finslet, let me know if you can make it to the Eelpout Festival. I am definitely going to be there. You would be more than welcome to join us on Leech Lake Saturday afternoon or at the Shamrock Lodge on Kego Lake by Longville Friday and Saturday night.

JJR,
What other great celebration happens on Ash Wednesday this year? 

[retagent]

Anyone have any info on the Gagliardi induction on the 21st? Does one need tickets? Whay is the "meet and greet" in the morning and the ceremony in the afternoon? Anyone? Beuhler?

[57Johnnie]

JJR,
Only 6 days until the big event.............

[Johnnie Red]

57Johnnie, hopefully you are not mixing up February 17 with March 17, the latter being a rather big day for those of us with Irish ancestry.

Nope ........ Hint: February 17, 1981 was a glorious day .......... for you

[OzJohnnie]

What is it, JJR?  Wedding anniversary?  Child's brithday?  Sold your Ford Pinto?

[OzJohnnie]

Good golly.  From the "Let's do the damned oddest thing possible for a commercial" files...  No joke, this is a genuine commercial.

I just saw this on the boob tube and Mrs Oz told me she is familiar with the woman in the commercial.  A good friend of a good friend, apparently.

"Steam Up Your Carpet"



EDIT:  And yes, the title is an intended double-entendre.  Aussies are suckers for the low brow humor.

EDIT II:  AC/DC are rocking Melbourne.  There are apparently obstructed view nosebleed seats still available for tomorrow night.  The better half tells me I don't want an obstructed view.

57Johnnie, I honestly do not remember the significance of February 17, 1981. No wedding, no child's birthday and no getting drunk at the ballroom in Glencoe or the Bluenote in Winsted.
