Seriously, Johnnie Red, are you obsessed with those burgers, or what?

?

sumander · March 30, 2007, 11:09:55 AM

I remember when they use to put the approximate number of burgers served on their signs. I believe now, all they say is billion and billions of burgers served!

Fins was stopped by the game warden at Pearl Lake yesterday with a cooler full of live fish in water.

The game warden asked Fins, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?"

"Naw, my friend, I ain't got no license. These here are my pet fish."

"Pet fish?"

"Yep. Every day I take these fish down to the lake and let 'em swim' round for a while. Then I whistle and they jump right back into this ice chest and I take 'em home."

"That's a bunch of BS! Fish can't do that!"

The man looked at the game warden for a moment and then said, "It's the truth. I'll show you. It really works."

"Okay, I've GOT to see this!"

Fins poured the fish into the lake and stood and waited. After several minutes, the game warden turned to him and said, "Well?"

"Well, what?" Fins replied.

"When are you going to call them back?"

"Call who back?"

"The FISH!"

"What fish?"

Good one, Buckman!

Sumander, you reminded me of a poem my cousin wrote for his SJU poetry class:

Going to McDonald's,
Going to stand in line,
Buy a billion burgers,
And watch them change the sign.

He got an A.

Who wants to be the first in MN to wear this camera thing? (Maybe Duff could do it on his wedding weekend!!)

IT'S JUSTIN, LIVE! ALL DAY, ALL NIGHT!
S.F. startup puts camera on founder's head for real-time feed, and a star is born

Just call him Air Justin. Eleven days ago, 23-year-old Justin Kan was just another no-name startup guy with big dreams of the small screen. Then he and his friends launched Justin.tv, an Internet reality show chronicling their adventures as young San Francisco entrepreneurs that, at least for now, is proving to be a smash hit with online viewers. Kan calls it "lifecasting." The concept is simple: Using technology his team developed, Kan has strapped a camera to his head to capture every moment of his existence in live streaming video on the Internet. Viewers literally see the world through Kan's virtual eyes, which broadcast his life onto the Web 24/7. He interacts with his audience through 21 chat rooms and hundreds of e-mails each day. He even took their calls on his cell phone until he got overwhelmed.

For my post 2000, I think it’s time we look to the future.

(The future, Esq?)

That's right my friends, the future. All the way to my post 2000.

(In the post 2000)
Augsburg will take home the Durenberger trophy for the first time…by using a rock and a getaway car.

(In the post 2000)
Hamline will fire their coach Jim Good after a 5-5 season, to be replaced by Jim Great.

(In the post 2000)
St. Olaf will move its home games to Miami Beach. Said Chris Meidt, "having sand as the field is much easier than sogging a field. Plus it's close to home for my players”.

(In the post 2000)
Macalester will win the Book of Knowledge. And then read it immediately in the locker room following the game.

(In the post 2000)
Concordia will throw a pass longer than 15 yards. Fortunately, they had the wind behind them.

(In the post 2000)
Gustavus will unveil new jerseys to coincide with their new stadium. The black and gold top is replaced by a white v-neck sweater with optional wii controller pocket.

(In the post 2000)
Carleton will again seek admission to the Big 10. Unfortunately, the Big 10 will lose track of it by placing it in the same folder as Notre Dame’s application. Said Charlie Weis: “like us if we had beaten Michigan, USC and LSU, you know Carleton would have been the best team in the MIAC had they only beaten SJU, UST and Concordia”.

(In the post 2000)
Bethel will allow students to drink—limited to celebrations after beating SJU and winning NCAA football playoff games. Unfortunately, the Bethel campus remains dry for the next 10 years.

(In the post 2000)
UST gives their football coach a raise and an extension. Said UST President Rev. Dease: “You’re doing a hell of a job, Roney”.

(In the post 2000)
SJU places the world’s largest video replay board covering the entire wall of the McNeely Spectrum, from which it not only sponsors the Redenbacher Popcorn Scoring Drives, but the Snapple Snap, the Kleenex Penalty Flag, the 3M Thinsulate Glove fumble, and the First Quarter as brought to you by the U.S. Mint. Fans are encouraged to stay in their seats and remain quiet, so as not to block the movie currently being shown on the big screen.

(In the post 2000)
D3football.com’s popularity allows it to swallow up NAIAfootball.com, D2football.com, and D1Aafootball.com. Said PC, spokesman, “We have Anna Fridays. Can the BCS compete with that?”

Big +K, JEsq., on the quality post for your 2000 milestone!

Chuck E. Cheese was the birthday party place of choice for my kids. I remember once they had to clear all the kids out of the big jumping pit full of plastic balls. Seems one child was so excited that he had an "accident". Fun job for the high school kids who had to clean out the pit and sanitize the pit and the balls. Think how many "accidents" went unreported.

Ah, yes..........many birthday parties at Chuck's!!! Had more than my fill of that place when my kids were young. Just about the time one was too old for it, the next kid would come along and back we would go. LOL!

Not surprised that this is all it takes to get an A at SJU.

Thought this was a funny skit from Peyton Manning's stint on SNL:

Wonka still hasnt given me my shirt back, which I mistakenly let him use a few weeks ago--to more than likely suck at a pick-up basketball game. I'm asking for his karma level to match those of TTD at his lowest point.

MongolianWarrior · March 31, 2007, 10:49:30 AM

TDT, not TTD. My bad. No "A" for me today.

Willy Wonka · March 31, 2007, 01:59:50 PM

Mongo - If you promise to TiVo the season finale of "I Love New York" for me this Monday night, I'll bring your shirt back the next time I'm invited over.

No need to ask for smites...I'm sure Pat is still supersmiting me for our "discussion" on the womens hoops board.

Wow, you complaining about someone repeatedly smiting you. Now that's chutzpah.
