BDB, Good job by Danica Patrick for her first Indy Car win over the weekend.

I just got home from a Johnnie Blend concert at the BAC on the campus of CSB, pretty good time. Here is their website www.JohnnieBlend.com

I said, do you speak-a my language?
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich

Another reason to dislike Rolling Rock beer.

Speaking of great Aussie songs, the folk songs are classic.  Here are the first two verses of my favorite Slim Dusty (what a great name) ditty, A Pub with no Beer:

Oh it's-a lonesome away from your kindred and all
By the campfire at night we'll hear the wild dingoes call
But there's-a nothing so lonesome, morbid or drear
Than to stand in the bar of a pub with no beer

Now the publican's anxious for the quota to come
And there's a far away look on the face of the bum
The maid's gone all cranky and the cook's acting queer
Oh what a terrible place is a pub with no beer


There's even a website for a pub that claims the name.

And which one are you, JVF?

Lots of drunk people

Thought for the Day:

Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

I would be home getting chewed out by Mrs. Flash, just prior to being one of those guys. (most of the time)

Why do married men live longer than single men?

FOR SPITE

From Shooter:
It wouldn't be surprising if popular former Gophers men's hockey assistant Mike Guentzel, who resigned last week, ends up as the coach at St. John's in Collegeville, Minn.

Why is the government working so hard to bust the polygamist sect of the Mormon church?  I figure that these men have already suffered cruel and unusual punishment due to multiple wives.

Sid was going off yesterday on the radio about how SJU should go D-1 in hockey.

He said Coach Gagliardi could get it done. Of course, he always mispronounces Gagliardi. 

Sometimes, I don't think Sid knows what planet he is on.

Monogamy and polygamy are the same thing -- one wife too many.

Ah, Ambrose Bierce, please stand and introduce yourself.

More from The Devil's Dictionary:

Marriage  - The state or condition of a community consisting of a master, a mistress and two slaves, making in all, two.

Patience  - A minor form of despair, disguised as a virtue.

Nice fish, Duff!

Monogamy and polygamy are the same thing -- one wife too many.

Ah, Ambrose Bierce, please stand and introduce yourself.

Bierce had a slightly different take:

Polygamy: A house of atonement, or expiatory chapel, fitted with several stools of repentance, as distinguished from monogamy, which has but one.

Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder. This disease, like caries and many other ailments, is prevalent only among civilized races living under artificial conditions; barbarous nations breathing pure air and eating simple food enjoy immunity from its ravages. It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient.

You're right (of course) - I gave Ambrose the credit that in fact goes to Oscar Wilde.

"Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same."
