Secrets of the City

we’ll just pretend this is the food thread.

this just opened about an hour ago in the 225 S. Sixth Bldg (the one with the halo). At the risk of jumping the gun ala Kathie Jenkins, I’ll just say that the Turkey Chili is excellent.

He called it ‘urban camouflage’ that he applied to hide from the Government, brilliant.

What is in the water in Wisconsin? It seems like they’ve got the market cornered on this brand of crazy.

What is in the water in Wisconsin?

Ethanol

I heard a radio show one day in Salt Lake City where the host would read a really strange story and ask the listeners: Did it come from Florida or Germany?

What other geographical location could MNSpeak team with Wisconsin on a similar bit?

Anoka?

I know its the largest city but an awful lot of weird shit seems to happen in Milwaukee. It would be my choice for weird partner city.

Stearns County?

My house?

I wonder if he might have had better luck with Worcestershire sauce?

that’s actually how Worcestershire sacue got named. a guy was coated in it and when confronted he was asked “What’s this here sauce?”, and over the years it was mispronounced until it got to its current form.

I vote Arkansas (mainly so this blurb is related to the thread)
‘Lured by $1 beer and the prospect of “hot chicks” and “hardcore fights,” thousands of Arkansans were duped last month into appearing as extras in comedian Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest staged mayhem. Cohen and his confederates organized cage fighting programs on consecutive days in Texarkana and Fort Smith. Both cards ended with two male grapplers (one was identified as “Straight Dave” and wore camouflage) tearing each other’s clothes off and, while in underwear, kissing down their opponent’s chest. This man-on-man action triggered Fort Smith fans to throw chairs and beer at the ring, according to one cop present at the city’s Convention Center.’

And I’ll bet that man was delicious.

I think a foreign country should be teamed with Wisconsin. How about Canada?

It would raise awareness of a place that Americans hardly talk about: America’s Hat.

I submit Idaho. That place is black helicopter crazy.

Lotta goofy stuff goes on in San Francisco. But that seems almost too easy.

I have a friend with an ongoing Wisconsin series.

I heard a radio show one day in Salt Lake City where the host would read a really strange story and ask the listeners: Did it come from Florida or Germany?

That was a bit originally done often on Loveline, the nationally-syndicated call-in show hosted once upon time by Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew. If you heard it on the radio late at night, chances are it was on Loveline.

Was this man plannign on searing himself or slow cooking?

Seriously! Wisconsin’s getting weirder!

I didn’t need to see that today.

So you’ve got Wisconsin and then you’ve got Belgium.

Wisconsin wins!

Court: Wisconsin Law Bans Sexual Assault of Corpse

Justice Patience Roggensack, writing a majority opinion with three other justices, said state law bans sexual intercourse with anyone who does not give consent “whether a victim is dead or alive at the time.”

Escape to Wisconsin….Bah what’s the point of going if you can’t sexually assault a corpse.

Seems to be strange news all over the world

Hm. Some sort of glitch is preventing me from logging in to set up the stories for tomorrow. I’ll try again as soon as I wake up.

When does Max wake up? Is MNspeak busted? Ahhhhh!

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAX!
MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAX!
MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAX!

wake up

WAKE UP MAX

Oh, I’m awake. I just can’t log in.

Kevin, stop yelling. Max gets grumpy if you don’t wake him up nice and sweetly.

mb knows how I like to be woken up.

I do. Although I’m still try to figure out how to avoid chafing from the cello and whether its better to feed the monkey before or after.

Did you forget your password Max? Did you try “password”?

We need more comments to get that damn blinking off the front page!

What’s wrong with a little blinking?

Hedge Hogs… so cute, yet so devious.

Well, we can just keep talking about Wisconsin until it gets fixed. It’s like being trapped in an elevator with Brett Favre.

Anyone have any good Wisconsin stories? When I moved here, I drove through Wisconsin, and stopped in at a cheese outlet, since it seemed to be the thing to do. I asked the woman what these “cheese curds” they had all over the place were.

She nearly teared-up with joy as she gave me the answer. She looked as if she had been waiting her whole life for someone to ask that question.

In fact, I’m going to be in the cheesey state this weekend… Mmmm Cheese curd…

Fresh cheese curds are definitely an acquired taste, or I should say texture. Like biting an erasure.

Well, we can just keep talking about Wisconsin until it gets fixed

until wisconsin is fixed or until MNSpeak is fixed. because the former prolly won’t happen in our lifetime.

“Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure!”

I used to have hedgehog. Those things have razor-sharp teeth. Never piss one off. They are cute but can draw blood.

I heard/read/made-up that Wisconsin has produced the most serial killers … true?

And now that doing the dead has been outlawed, well, what is there for them? Not necessarily looking for an answer to this.

and I heard Minnesota has produced the most killer cereal.

And we’re back.

In the meanwhile, I had enough time this morning to write and record a song.

In middle school I went tubing down some river with my friend’s youth group. The guy who was supposed to be keep track of everything misplaced our shoes while we were riding some shuttle up from the bottom. The lord giveth and the lord taketh away my Adidas.

Now MNSpeak is fixed and we leave poor Wisconsin behind.
