Whoever karmaknocked me upside the head must have knocked me a bit loopy.

In addition to bumping me down 3k, I no longer get the Lutherans and Green Jello reference.

Someone wanna help me understand it?
Now accepting new patients. All bills must be paid in scotch shortly after any services rendered.  Sorry TDT, no problems below the waist.


Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale's vagina.

KR- It's generally served along side the scalloped potatoes and ham at funerals, baptisms, and any of our other festivities.


P.S. Any med school lowdown on this health beer thing?  Figured we should go to the expert!   And I'll have a 'take that' fact for Misty...  ;D

RIP Kirby

In due time, I want to hear favorite Puckett stories. For now, we mourn a legend.
I don't hate Duke. I just hate all their players, coaches and fans.

Thanks.
As far as the beer being healthy thing, its does have anti-inflammatory properties, which is why old sports injuries feel better after a couple.

Time for a beer in memory of the late #34.

I was told I would never make it because I'm too short. Well, I'm still too short, but I've got 10 All-Star games, two World Series championships, and I'm a very happy and contented guy. It doesn't matter what your height is, it's what's in your heart." -- Kirby Puckett at his 1996 retirement press conference.

Kirby proved it's not the size of the dog in the fight.....it's the size of the fight in the dog!

Thank you Kirby.
I fly any cargo that you can pay to run
The bush league pilots, they just can't get the job done
You've got to fly down the canyon, don't never see the sun
There's no such thing as an easy run

Tough to be positive when we've lost such a guy.  I'll never forget seeing him in the airport after the Milwaukee series in 1987.  I was all of 8 when Dad took me to meet the team home, and I was absolutely lost between all these coats and bags and people.  Suddenly I looked up and there was Kirby. I was all of shocked, stunned, scared and surprised-- Kirby must have seen it in my face because he looked at me and smiled and reached his hand out for a five as he continued walking by.  The man just knew how to spread joy.  He will be missed.


But I have to give a shout out to my sophomore year RA from SJU, as I ran across this in the PP this morning:

Metro bartender just misses title

Brian Zachau of Minneapolis fell one short Sunday of T.G.I. Friday's World Bartender Championship when he was edged out by Peter Marshall of the United Kingdom.

Zachau's showing marked the second straight year he took second place — and emerged as the contest's U.S. champion.

He was among eight bartenders who surpassed 5,000 others around the world to climb into the championship round at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. The competition tests expert skills of the trade, along with "flair bartending," a mastery of tossing bottles, tin cups and glasses in the air.

Zachau tends bar at T.G.I. Friday's at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport and Infinity at Graves 601 hotel and practices flair bartending 10 hours a week.

"It doesn't matter what type of work you do," he says. "You should strive to do it really well."

QuoteIf there were no Lutherans - would there still be green Jell-O?
I asked the GAC grad where I work out about this.  He said the answer clearly was "no" and then went on to talk about jell-o with cottage cheese.

Lutherans will put just about anything in green jell-o - bananas, cottage cheese, cardboard, small children, lefse, lutefisk, or industrial cleaning agents.

RIP Kirby

and as a Lutheran and GAC grad, I usually put vodka in my green jell-o
Heaven isn't too far away,
Closer to it every day

BTW, the GAC guy said jell-o with cottage cheese makes his wife gag.  I think she's Catholic.  ;D
