Random thoughts that are pointless and too dumb to say anywhere else thread: 2009 (May – Dec.)

Whoever did the graffiti on the McDonalds billboard in Waukesha did a pretty good job. My wife thought it was an actual McDonalds sponsored billboard that said "golden showers."

Any chance you can get a picture of said graffitti. I teach criminal justice classes and sometimes the class needs some comedic relief.

[Brian the Automator]

Oh man... which McDonalds? The one on Sunset?

[logan82]

We were on Bluemound and turned onto Main st and took a left onto 59/164. The McDonalds was part of a gas station and the billboard was on the right just a little past the McDonalds but before Don Jacob's Subaru(shich looks to be closed now). Hope that helps. If I had a camera with I would have taken a picture. Sorry I don't live in the area or I would go take one.

 

Edit: My wife says highway 59 across from WalMart.

What would it sound like to lift the vocal track from a really crappy, annoying pop song and drop it into a killer power metal arrangement?

Anyone else think "Black Mamba" is an oddly appropriate nickname for Kobe?

 

The way the L.A. media fawns over this puke is despicable...

I find it very strange that at weird and odd times I can see the tiny bubbles in my eyeball fluid as it washes over the front of my eye.

I just had soup that was so spicy hot it made me cry for an hour. I would have stoped eating it but it's soooo good.

[pitchleague]

(recipe, please?)

[brewerjamie15]

I need some new shoes.

(recipe, please?)

Seconded.

It's a little hole in the wall place one Richmond street in Appleton. It's a Hmong family recipe. They give you a spicy broth with some meat in it then you add noodles and your choice of other things like basil, bean sprouts, peppers and such on the side.

If you are in the valley it's the old chili dog place between Merlin's muffler shop and play it again sports near the corner of Richmond and Northland. Best soup I've ever had.

I'm sucking up to them as much as I can now so I can get the recipe. Nice people food is a bit on the expensive side at $8 a bowl but well worth it and it helps a small mom and pops place survive all the chain restaurants.

Thanks Backup. My M-in-law used to live near there, so I know where that is. I'll have to stop there when I get a chance.

[pitchleague]

me, too. since I'm headed for Wisconsin tonight and we're going to be in Appleton for 2 weeks I now know where I'll be having lunch at least once! Thanks for the info!

Bob Uecker has made me very hungry for a Usinger's brat with some krisp kraut and Silver Spring Beer 'n Brat Mustard.

[burniebrewer]

Hawing, I made brats tonight.

 

Silver Spring chipotle mustard on one and Secret Stadium Sauce on the other. Both topped with coleslaw, not kraut.

[Thurston Fluff]

Both topped with coleslaw, not kraut.

 

You have to move further South if you do that. Traitor.

[Invader3K]

We had brats tonight. They were just some basic Johnsonville ones, but they were good.

[burniebrewer]

Sorry. Only did it because I didn't have any onions and (gasp) I don't like kraut. Doesn't make sense that I like slaw, but not kraut.

[Thurston Fluff]

Apology accepted bernie. Just don't let it happen again. The Wisconsin German society would hate to have to force you to move to South Carolina in July. At least don't get caught doing it until January.

I think ESPN's content really sucks for the most part, so it really amazes me how good their commercials are. I've must of seen the Pujols "machine" commercial 50 times, and it still awes me everytime.

[burniebrewer]

The 4 baseball analysts sitting behind me at tonight's game had a real good one for the stat-men...they couldn't figure out why Suppan sucks so bad despite always having one of the top WHIP's in baseball. For those of you scoring at home, they determined WHIP= With Hitters in (scoring) Position.

 

Discuss that one amongst yourselves.

 

The conversation about how many earned runs he allowed tonight was great as well. I think they determined he had 2 ER tonight and the other 5 were unearned. (I believe 4/7 were actually earned).

I don't know what I like more about watching Wimbledon - the tennis or the ball boys/girls military like antics.

[T B0NE 10]

I was just involved in a baseball game where a team scored 38 runs, hit 11 homers, and 5 grand slams.

 

 

Unfortunately I was on the opposing team.

Woke up this morning to a thundering crash in the kitchen area. Turns out the ceiling fan installed in the dining room (not sure why it was there in the first place, as all it does is promote cold food) got dislodged from it's base and fell directly on to the table. The fan looks to still be operational, only the light fixture is a little dinged up. I fear the worst for the cantaloupe the fan fell on though. I'm just baffled how it was able to un-thread itself from the base and loosen a tightening screw. Must have gone millimeter by millimeter over 20+ years.

Burnie...are you kidding on the WHIP stuff? If not, FJM needs to return.
