State Fair Time


Mullets, Food on a Stick, Carnies, and large crowds...yes it is that time again. The "Great Minnesota Get Together" is upon us, so Jessica and I decided to head on down and get some people watching in all while enjoying cold Grain Belt Premiums. We got there and, in order for me to deal with the enormous crowd, went to one of several beer gardens and began our journey. I always have a hard time finding food that I am actually interested in. We shared a Pronto Pup which really made me want another beer. We walked and walked and walked which made me want another beer. We decided to grab a sandwich (in one of the beer gardens) which, well, you know. After several hours of walking, eating, drinking, and bumping into weird people, we decided that it was time to go home. But, that is just not enough. My sister and her family are coming home tonight and Tuesday is her birthday. We will all head back down to the fair on Tuesday for our annual family trip to the fair. Eh, great. Sign me up. On another note, I just found out that one of my favorite all time bands has a new single out. I had Hank in the truck with me and heard the song for the first time. I also found out that Metallica scares the hell out of Hank., as I looked over at him and he was shaking uncontrollably while I blasted the new tune. Pansy. Have a good week.

Who Really Cares...


Well, my good friend Joe inspired me to write tonight about this, so here it goes. Who cares about Brett Favre other than some fat, bearded, dirty, sausage and cheese eatin' Wisconsinites? Yes, he may be one of the toughest and best players ever in the NFL, but could the coverage have been more over the top. Could the media and Packer Management have been any worse on this. Seriously, why are we talking so much about Brett Favre. He is an ego-maniac who cannot stay out of the spotlight, to hell with Jet Favre. Go Vikes. Anyone care to offer up an opinion? I am hoping one of those horrible packer lovers see my Blog and decide to lampoon me with nonsense. GO.
