I'm in Hong Kong at the moment and I'm in the hotel watching some local World Cup commentary in Chinese.  I, obviously, have no idea what the guys are saying, but I'm struck by their broadcasting uniform.  They are all wearing blue suede dinner jackets with cravats and two of them have the ugliest black rimmed BCG's (Birth Control Glasses, as we referred to them in the Navy).  Odd.

Maybe they could do ARF commentaary.

I am so excited! Yesterday I got an email informing me that I was one of four lucky winning email addresses from the 2010 FIFA World Cup international awareness promotion and was awarded FOUR MILLION DOLLARS. Hopefully I can use some of this money to fly in Paris Hilton for the Stiftungsfestivities this fall when we host the Tommies for homecoming in Collegeville and give the Tommie coed alums attending the tailgate and game someone they can relate to!

Went to my first Twins' game at Target Field last night. What a great place that is. Got to talk to Mike Max from WCCO before the game.

I suggested that.  They put on pink dinner jackets.

Everybody on this board must have been hit with the 'Bear Spray'.

I got off the airplane back from Hong Kong this morning to some great news... Last night Hawks beat the Bulldogs, a semi-finalist the last two years, to make it seven in a row.  Apparently, it was a blistering contest where the largest lead of the night was 8 points.  The highlights are pretty good.  I'm holding out for the replay later this morning on cable.

Sounds like Paris might be stuck Port Elizabeth for a little while...

Your pictures are wonderful! Thank you for sharing them. It reminds me of my family trip to Yellowstone a few years ago. Right before we went, a friend lent me a book called "Deaths in Yellowstone". Every time any of the wildlife would meander our way, I was all "Everyone back in the car"!;-)

I hope everyone has safe and happy Fourth!

Happy Independence Day to all MIACPP regulars!

Faunch, good news for Paris! The possession of marijuana charge against her was dismissed. Another woman admitted she was the one possessing the grass.

Nice stop in Collegeville this past Friday on my way up north to Longville.

I caught this tanker on Saturday on a small, west-central MN lake.  It was not what I was expecting being that I was targeting largemouth bass, but it'll do.

Nice fish Duff! You finally caught one of the correct species!  I picked up a 27" on LOW a couple of weeks ago.

BTW, have you tried any of the offerings from Flying Dog Breweries?

My favorites in order are:
1)Doggie Style APA
2)Snake Dog IPA
3)Raging Bitch Belgian IPA

All of them worth a sample.

No, I will keep my eyes peeled, though.  Thanks for the tip!
