JR-
Is there anything from the Hutch/Biscay area I can bring up on Saturday? I'm a 95/5 on making it up for media day. I sure hope I'm not the most notable attendee.

[Willy Wonka]

Wonka might be in attendance, which would drop you down the totem pole PI

If TDT hadn't been seen so often in Minnesota recently, I would have bet my bottom dollar this story would have been about him.

I see where the Johnnies play Augsburg in Minneapolis on 9/16. I take it the Stiftungsfestivities make the road games as well? Or maybe just Hamm's and a tailgate?

Anyway, after dispatching the STATESMEN last week and having a bye this week, the Blue Devils travel to Iowa to play the Upper Iowa PEACOCKS that day so maybe I'll swing over for the Johnnies game.

Here comes the

Scary.

BlueDevil Bob,

It made my day to see the term "Stiftungsfestivities" being used still to this day! After all, it was I who came up with the term back in October of 2001, during the week of the big Bethl vs. St. John's game, into which both teams came undefeated. Not to toot my own horn or anything; it just brought back memories, that's all.

It's great to see the banter is still going, and that it's basically the same people doing it, 5+ years after graduating from what is now [sadly] called Bethel University.

I've had it just about up to here with the smack talk and disrespect for the UMAC and Northwestern College Football. 

Here comes the
Pain Train!

Woo Woo!

What's a UMAC?

Quirky Doctor Happenings, Medical Examinations (for KR, who was MIA on Saturday)

1. A man comes into the ER and yells, "My wife's going to have her baby in the cab!" I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the cab, lifted the lady's dress, and began to take off her underwear. Suddenly I noticed that there were several cabs -and I was in the wrong one.

2. At the beginning of my shift I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall. "Big breaths," I instructed. "Yes, they used to be," replied the patient.
Submitted by Dr. Richard Byrnes, Seattle, WA

3. One day I had to be the bearer of bad news when I told a wife that her husband had died of a massive myocardial infarct. Not more than five minutes later I heard her reporting to the rest of the family that he had died of a "massive internal fart."
Submitted by Dr. Susan Steinberg, Manitoba, Canada

4. During a patient's two week follow-up appointment with his cardiologist, he informed me, his doctor, that he was having trouble with one of his medications. "Which one?" I asked. "The patch. The nurse told me to put on a new one every six hours and now I'm running out of places to put it!" I had him quickly undress and discovered what I hoped I wouldn't see. Yes, the man had over fifty patches on his body!  Now, the instructions include removal of the old patch before applying a new one.
Submitted by Dr Rebecca St. Clair, Norfo lk, VA

5. While acquainting myself with a new elderly patient, I asked, "How long have you been bedridden?" After a look of complete confusion she answered..."Why, not for about twenty years - when my husband was alive."
Submitted by Dr. Steven Swanson, Corvallis, OR

6. I was caring for a wo man and asked, "So how's your breakfast this morning?" "It's very good, except for the Kentucky Jelly. I can't seem to get used to the taste" the patient replied. I then asked to see the jelly and the woman produced a foil packet labeled "KY Jelly."
Submitted by Dr. Leonard Kransdorf, Detroit, MI

7. A nurse was on duty in the Emergency Room, when a young woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker Mohawk, sporting a variety of tattoos, and wearing strange clothing, entered.  It was quickly determined that the patient had acute appendicitis, so she was scheduled for immediate surgery. When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had been dyed green, and above it there was a tattoo that read, "Keep off the grass." Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short note on the patient's dressing, which said, "Sorry, had to mow the lawn."
Submitted by RN no name

AND FINALLY!!!.......... (This one has KR's name written all over it!!)  .....

8. As a new, young MD doing his residency in OB, I was quite embarrassed when performing female pelvic exams. To cover my embarrassment I had unconsciously formed a habit of whistling softly. The middle-aged lady upon whom I was performing this exam suddenly burst out laughing and further embarrassing me. I looked up from my work and sheepishly said, "I'm sorry. Was I tickling you?" She replied, "No doctor, but the song you were whistling was, "I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Wiener".
Dr. wouldn't submit his name

You would think that barely avoiding a Monkey Stomp by the Cornell Rams would be a more humiliating experience.

BlueDevil Bob,

It made my day to see the term "Stiftungsfestivities" being used still to this day! After all, it was I who came up with the term back in October of 2001, during the week of the big Bethl vs. St. John's game, into which both teams came undefeated. Not to toot my own horn or anything; it just brought back memories, that's all.

OB27, did you have to make the name so long? 

My first time to the S-fest and Clemens Stadium this Saturday so I am fired up.

These guys really have a good thing going.

apparently not, 57.  can't nobody hold the pain train down

Piperinsider, it has been a while since I have purchased any culinary delights in either Biscay or Hutchinson. As you already know, the only culinary delights in Biscay would have to be purchased at the muni. I actually lived about two miles from there in the fall of `78 when I started practicing law. Surprise us all and find something exotic in Hutch and bring it (or her ) with.

BDB, the only road Stiftungsfestivities that we have done in the past were at St. Thomas, Bethel, Fargo (when the Cobbers hosted Oxy at the Fargo Dome in `04), Whitewater and Salem. Hosting one at Auggie Tech might be a stretch. I know where we could have it, though. There is the small parking lot just on the east side of the football field. It is nice to have some Saturdays off during the fall.

For any of you Gusties making the trip to Willamette this weekend, enjoy it. Make sure you take in the wineries in the Willamette valley. A trip to the Elks Club in McMinnville would also be worth your time, as would a tour of Linfield.

oldbethel27, as much as I hate to give credit to anyone associated with Bethel for doing something positive in this world, I do express my sincere thanks to you for coming up with the moniker for the tailgate parties.

[oldbethel27]

Since BU is at Simpson this Saturday, maybe I'll have to swing on up to Collegeville to catch a game in the greatest football venue of all time. Can someone tell me: is River Falls worth the trip?

Also, if I do go, is the location of the Stiftungsfestivities obvious? or do I need a map?

I am confused... is Max Meagher the "Pain Train" or is your continued beating of this dead horse the "Pain Train"? I know which gets my vote!!

[oldbethel27]

Johnnie Red - my deepest thanks for going against your nature in the name of Truth
