Rob's Holy Grail

A few things to get out of the way.

1. Check out Relative Art Studios - they have a nice group of photos - I'll post a couple here to draw you in.





Another link is to JP's blog - he has a limited supply of Tee-shirts with 10% going to the Auditorium.

And I updated my Lasagna Bed Garden Blog.

For ~Minxie~ with the Gopher problem. You can always Caddy Shack them. But on a serious side you might want to check out this blog Controlling Rodents Naturally - Garden Pest Tip .
-----------------------------------
Oshkosh voted 6-1 to donate $10,000 to a downtown facade restoration program.

The money will be pooled with $100,000 that already has been donated by the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation. The foundation has set an overall fund raising goal of $250,000.

So - you are now saying why doesn't Columbus do the same? The $10,000 averages $0.16 per resident so we would be in the ball park with a $716 donation to a downtown facade restoration. I believe we have or can do better with the Columbus Historic Preservation Committee.
----------------------------------
A story from Rob the Extra.

Here's a story for those of you going through Depp withdrawal, although it's a story about Christian Bale.

First, a little background:

I was one of the original 'extras' working from Mar 17th through 19th from the 20th on I've had movie set withdraw. I made some really great friends from it all, I've really enjoyed reading/getting info from this blog.

I went to the Capitol a few weeks ago when they were filming there just to hang out and see if I could see anything, here's my story that I emailed my 'extras' friends:

The Holy Grail

Holy S#@T Batman! OK, so I now have CB's autograph. I was at the Capitol late this morning with Amber and we chatted with Trevor (P.A.) for quite a while. He informed us Christian was there right up on the Capitol steps. We got to snap a few pics of Christian walking down the steps to leave for lunch, this was 2:00. Amber left for work, I went home, grabbed my roommate Andy, drove back to the Capitol, walked into the Capitol and got to the center and almost walked right through all these extras rehearsing.

I thought, that's weird how no one stopped us. I looked to the right and saw some fedora hats hanging off a rack of coats and I'm like, I recognize that sight... we walked down the hall to the wardrobe and I'm standing in front of two huge racks of clothes, tons of hats and I'm like, we're NOT supposed to be here, so we kept walking forward and saw that past the doors was the Kraft Table and all the crew and Colleen and Scary Bob (Bob Wagner) etc. I'm like, yeah, we're definitely not supposed to be here.

I then spotted Barry coming in from outside, I said "Hey Barry, we're guarding your hat's for you." He laughed and was totally cool, I said "If we go out this door, is it the fastest way to get kicked off set?" he said, "Don't name names and just watch for security", he went back out with a handful of hats and we just went out too. No one stopped us. We walked closer to the lights and closer to where the extras were hanging out, waiting. I saw Anne and discreetly waved. (Anne is an extras friend that was working that day.) We walked closer to where Michael Mann and his crew were.

All of a sudden Christian Bale is taking a seat not 15 feet away from me. I'm talking to Chandler (P.A. Intern) and he's like omg there's cb and I'm like, you just now noticed? Can I have your Sharpie? He's like, you can't, I'm like, I shouldn't, but in case I can, can I have your sharpie? He very discreetly gave me his sharpie and took off. I waited for a chance to break the rules and not get thrown off the set.

Christian was sitting in a directors chair and was getting his make-up touched up. I'm not believing my opportunity and I fought with my better judgment for about 5 minutes when his makeup stylist finished and left him just sitting there alone. A big guy came up to him and started bs'ing with him. (Go Away!!) Then he left too, and while I was still arguing with myself, my feet were already walking towards Christian, I went over and politely and ever so humbly asked "Mr. Bale?" He didn't hear me. "Christian?" He looked at me. "Mr. Bale, may I please have your autograph?"

I'm handing him the back side of my business card, he reaches for it and while I'm saying, "I don't want to disturb..." He says, "What's your name?" "Uh, Rob, my name's Rob." He flipped the card over and said that he was checking to make sure there's nothing obscene on the other side of it and laughed. I was thinking, of course, right, I can't believe this, he's wearing so much makeup. "I don't mean to bother you but I really admire you, and I'm not even an actor." I don't know what I meant by that but I meant it to sound like a great compliment.

He looked directly at me and said "Well thank you very much." He smiled and nodded, snapped the capped back on my sharpie and was still smiling at me when he gave it back to me. He was so cool. He was soo Christian Bale. His voice was so dripping with Christian Baleishness, I'm still drooling. Amber, please don't hate me. ;o))))

That's it, now I can say that Jason Bateman touched my business card ;op

Note to Rob and rest - I AM interested in stories - I think people love to read them.
----------------------------------------
And you think Vice President Cheney is bad?

Henry Wallace the VP for Franklin Roosevelt was a dedicated devotee of Eastern mysticism. While serving as U.S. Secretary of Agriculture in the 1930s, he allegedly sent his guru to Mongolia under the pretense of collecting grasses that could withstand drought. In reality, Wallace was diverting funds to help his guru hunt for evidence that Christ had visited Asia.

William Rufus de Vane King the VP for Franklin Pierce was sworn into office in Cuba, becoming the only executive officer to take the oath on foreign soil. King had gone to Cuba to recuperate from tuberculosis and severe alcoholism, but it didn't work. He died in 1853 after being vice president for just 25 days.

Aaron Burr the VP for Thomas Jefferson is best known for shooting and killing Alexander Hamilton in a duel in 1804. THEN he plotted a treasonous conspiracy to become emperor of the western United States and Mexico.

The plan almost worked but he was ratted on. He was tried in 1807 before the Supreme Court, which found him not guilty, mainly because he hadn't actually committed the treason yet.

A free man, Burr turned his sights on Florida. He went to France and tried to convince Napoleon Bonaparte to help him conquer the swampland, but that plan foundered, too.

OK - nuff said!

Rod - off to the Farmers Market for Cheese Curds.

Maybe I should explain Cheese Curds sometime - Are they a Midwest thing??

ME! Out!

    Rod ~ Thanks for the suggestion to my gopher HELL! ;) I appreciate the link... will do more investigating.

    *watches the little boogers laugh and dig new holes* Yeah, I think I missed the spot with the dynamite! =0P

    Have a great day at the Farmers Market.....

  2. For your PE fill, here's a little tidbit that I heard on "Mike Evans in the morning" this morning on a local radio channel. Mike Evans, for those of you who aren't familiar is a Hollywood reporter. I'm paraphrasing of course as I can't remember the exact words.

    He said that he was told that the seat that John Dillinger sat in at the Biograph is still there and that before filming they had it roped off so that Johnny Depp could sit in it. JD supposedly sat in the seat for awhile to soak in the feel for what it was maybe like back then. He supposedly sat there for awhile and then filmed the scene where Dillinger gets shot and was shot in the exact same spot that Dillinger was shot in. JD said the whole experience was kind of eerie. JD also supposedly said that Public Enemies is the best movie he's ever shot.

    That last statement makes me want to see this movie even more!

    ReplyDelete
  3. Cool news, Tami! Thanks for sharing that tidbit. Thanks for your blog again today too, Rod. Yes--I think cheese curds are a bit Wisconsin-ish. Make them all come to the State Fair for the best fried cheese curds ever! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  4. See--I've been telling people that it is going to be a great movie--and now Johnny agrees with me! Only 13 more months to go (give or take, TBD).

    FYI. A birdie told me that they are stilling going to be back in WI sometime in June. . . I hope that birdie was given the correct information.

    Have a great day! Here I go pedaling to work.

    Ok... now I am curious.... what is a "cheese curd"? And deep fried? Should I be scared? LOL

  11. movie star wife, that biking is good exercise. Go around the block twice for me, because God knows I won't! About the little birdie, did it happen to say WHERE? A general location, give or take 10 feet, would suffice. :)

    ReplyDelete
  12. Yes, I believe Cheesecurds are a midwest thing..although I know California is trying to say they have better cheese than Wisconsin! haha!!

    The best cheesecurds will "squeek" when you chew them! :)

    I BET it was eerie to sit in the same seat as Dillinger and everything. But neat that the same seat is still there!!

    ReplyDelete
  13. I was just catching up with other postings here and at IMDB....(after my few days away in the heat and humidity of Mississippi)
    Sounds like Chicago had a rough couple of days with drunk people? What idiots...ruin everything for people who truly care about the filming and the work and time EVERYONE!! puts in. And No more meet and greets..that's too bad.
    I enjoy reading herenotthere's comments...about the fan girls who scream and yell and dress like they are going to steal JD away..give me a break. I remember a few girls like that in Columbus. Who did they think they were going to impress? It was raining and cold..and they were there in skanky tops and high heels...haha! I was wearing a knit hat and a winter jacket! I guess my intention that day was to watch filming in BD and Columbus and possibly get to meet one of the greatest actors I have ever seen. That was it.... not to skank out the town! lol....ok..off soapbox!

  14. I tell ya - I can eat 5 pounds of Cheese Curds if I'm not carefull.

    They are squeaky fresh just a block away. Picked this morning from the Cheese trees.

    ReplyDelete
  15. rumor mill!
    how did Johnny get back to Chicago when his plane is in Florida???

    I can't believe somebody emailed me this. Thinking I would know.

    ReplyDelete
  16. what...?!?! OMG!!..i though johnnys plane is in new jersery...lol! thats funny osh!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Rod,
    You know how the squeak goes away once you stick the cheese curds in the frig. If you pop them in the microwave a couple of seconds the squeak comes back!! I just found this out....they are so good! My daughter was going to a university on Long Island and no one out there had any idea what they were so she would always take them back with her. They loved them!!

  18. Char-wow didnt know that about the cheese...next time i get some i will have to pop them in the microwave.. :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. California has "happy" cows... therefore we have "happy" cheese! =0P The cows (according to the commercials) enjoy the earthquakes! I think that mostly the cheese in our stores is from WI!

    Ok... so what is a cheese curd? Anyone gonna share with me or am I gonna be forced to "google" it? LOL....

    Florida? New Jersey? I tracked JD's plane to the Bahamas, France and LA.... that man can get around! ;)

  20. Wikipedia says:
    Cheese curds are the fresh curds of cheddar cheese. They are generally available in retail stores operated at cheese factories throughout the United States and Canada (especially in Wisconsin, Upper Michigan, Ontario, Quebec, and Upstate New York, where they can be found in many grocery stores.) Cheese curds are little-known in locations without cheese factories, because they should ideally be eaten within hours of manufacture. After twelve hours, even under refrigeration, they have lost much of their "fresh" characteristics, particularly the "squeak". This "squeak" has been described by the New York Times as sounding like "balloons trying to neck".[1] After twenty-four hours, they will lose their freshness entirely. If they are purchased locally and need to be kept for a couple of days, room temperature, rather than refrigeration, may preserve the flavor and "squeak".

    Their flavor is mild with about the same firmness as cheese, but have a springy or rubbery texture. Fresh curds squeak against the teeth when bitten into, which some would say is their defining characteristic. Cheese curds are sometimes referred to as "Squeeky cheese." They are sometimes somewhat salty. The American variety are usually yellow or orange in color, like cheddar cheese. Other varieties, such as the Québécois variety, can be roughly the same color as white cheddar cheese.

    Basically, its the curdled cheese bits that are a by-product of making cheese....

    Yeah.... I think this is a WI/midwest delicacy.... wouldnt have a clue where to find any here in Cali.... *sighs* I guess I have to come to WI to try them....When is PE filming coming back? Could kill two birds with one stone.... LOL

    ReplyDelete
  21. minxie---are you tracking jd's plane?!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Around central Wisconsin all of the cheese factories usually have them on Wednesdays and they are still a bit warm....they are so good and you can actually go to the factory to get them but most of the gas stations have them. You buy them in usually a 1/2 or 1 pound bags and when they are deep fried in a batter they are to die for. All of the fairs sell them that way. A real treat but oh so fattening!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. oops.... my mistake... did I let that "stalker" information out? MY BAD!!! *tee hee*

    ( hell no!.... I dont care to keep track of his plane... not my style. Thats his personal time... keeping track of the PE events is another story.... that is "public" info....)

  24. mmmm...now im getting hungry for cheesecurds...lol

  25. Ok all this talk of cheese is wearing on my 12 step cheeselovers anonymous program. LOL...

    Now I am gonna order some.... any one have any flavor suggestions? or should I just stick with the "original"...?

    Thanks all for my cheese curd education!

    ReplyDelete
  35. minxie, I'd suggest starting with the yellow (original) or white. Because you're a virgin, don't cha know! :) After that, move on to what ever flavor catches your fancy.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Speaking of cheese curds, I wonder if Johnny Depp had any while he was visiting the MOST AWESOME STATE IN THE USA! No, I meant Wisconsin.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Thanks Maegen.... I have cheese curds on their whey! (ha ha.. play on words... "cheesey" I know... I am in a mood today!)

    Thanks Lotus... yes, a curd virgin I be.... but what the heck, you only live once... so I ordered all the flavors! The gal suggested a beer with the cajun flavored ones! :) Fermented wheat and curdled milk.... gotta LOVE it!!!

    Thanks again everyone.... there are being shipped overnight... so I can tell ya all what my thoughts are if you are interested...

  38. Lotus ~ if JD does come back to WI for any more filming, maybe you all could introduce him to them... they say cheese goes GREAT with wine! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  39. haha...im glad you ordered all of them minxie! i love the garlic kind..but hey..youll have to let me know how the other flavors are!!

  40. Thanks for the link Osh...good stuff.

    As for when I'm at the shop to sell t-shirts??? Almost never... :(

    But if you want one maybe I can hand deliver it.....in a pizza box or something.

    I only hope that everyone doesn't hate me after Friday..... and if they do...I am soooooo going to blame Rod.

    I was just going to e-mail dj to see if you were all right Rod since there had been no posts since Monday!

    All the normal links I use to get to your place took me to Monday's page. Finally just now I was over at Jenny's blog and clicked on her link and presto, 2 posts that I can't get to from here (not to mention Marcella's pics on Monday's post)

    Has this happened to anyone else, ever? HELP!!!!

    I was worried you all had dropped off the face of the earth...

  43. JP, are you going to Kurth's this Friday?? Did you win the lottery?

  44. Probably can't make it Friday night....I have a "honey do" list that would rival the length of the PE script. (with just as many rewrites....)

    One of these weeks tho.... :)

    I think maybe that was coming on for a while!

  46. I had Dill Cheese Curds - yummo! Normally I like them plain but lately I have discovered flavored.

    minxie - maybe we can have an exchange - Cheese Curds for Chocodiles - can you get those out there??

  47. Shakenb, maybe you need to set your computer to clear cookies, cache, etc when you shut down your browser. It's in your options/tools menu of the browser. I have had that happen too. Sometimes if you just refresh the page when you get there and see an old post, it brings up newly posted stuff.

    Mary-lemme know. I b'lieve I will go to a matinee either way. Maybe afterwards, I can have Jenny over for an early evening showing of Benny and Joon. (Your cd is ready too, Jenny)!!

    Hey, I probably shouldn't bring it up, but you know, most people who don't know what cheese curds are also don't know what a brat is, much less how to pronounce it. (Hint: it's not an unruly child, nor is it pronounced as such). :p

    ReplyDelete
  48. Has anyone been able to confirm if they filmed at the Biograph Tuesday the 27th, last night? We will know they are done when they pull up the trolley tracks.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Brats and beer! YUMMY!! Yuppers I know what those are!

    Rod ~ Will look for the chocodiles.... I know what they are, but havent seen them in a while... will look for ya.

    Well the curds will be here on Friday... couldnt justify $75 in overnight shipping for less than $20 for cheese! LOL They didnt have dill on the flavor list: taco seasoning, garlic, cajun and "original".... Hopefully after the UPS driver gets here on Friday, I will be in a "cheese" coma! :)

    Graham, I read somewhere that they did film last night... but rumor has it that JD was not there... so thats probably why not too much info out there.

    ReplyDelete
  50. minxie MAKE SURE they are room temp when you eat them - or else you will be underwhelmed.

    I doubt they will squeak but we can all pray for you.

    ReplyDelete
  51. First of all ..... cheese curds are the one of the greatest foods I have ever eaten since moving to the USA. They sure don't have them in England. It is the best food only second to the Beer brat!! (again not in England) If I was a superhero....brats would be my one weakness LOL.

    Missed ya Shakenbis....get your computer working woman!! LOL Glad to see you on today.

    I know that it was said that the filming in WI was done, but my friend went past the Milwaukee Hist society today, it still said "closed" on it, and the cords that were there when the film crew showed up a few weeks ago were also still there. Maybe they forgot it? Or maybe they are a permanent part of the restoration.
    Who knows.

    Dang now I want some cheese curds. Glad I am actually having brats for dinner! YUM!

    Rod - thanks for the frost report yesterday. We didn't get any, but it sure got cold here. Resisted turning on the heat tho!

  52. Dill Cheese Curds (notice I had to capitalize that?) are my favorite! And any kind of cheese curd goes great with a good beer. And then, if you add a brat, you are in Wisconsin heaven!

    I am reading the Nash book about Dillinger and it goes into a lot of depth regarding Little Bo. So far, it is parallel-ing the Burroughs book, with some inteview excerpts of Billie, Emil Wantatka, and others. It's interesting if you like history, which I do.

    Someone asked about the PBS special - I got it at the library. It was safe enough for my 9 YO son to watch.

    Caddy Shack is one of my all-time favorite movies - I need to add that to my list. I wish that worked with dandelions.

    Thanks for the useful info on reviving the curd squeak. I never knew that, and will have to try it.

    Mary, I used to live not too far from Black Crick, in a town called Duck Creek, pronounced Duck Crick. It was on the Duck Creek River. Wierd, huh?

    This is the same area where the delicacy BOOYAH is a summer tradition.

  61. Some people think that JD and I are somehow BFF...I have had several weird emails wanting me to pass information along to him, or to arrange meetings with his staff...I think it is kinda funny. Nothing dangerous...just "his plane is xxxx I thought he was in Chicago when should I go see him?" type thing.

  65. I think cheese curds are definitely a Midwest thing. I remember a few years back when Sarah Ferguson was the Weight Watchers spokesperson. She made an appearance in Green Bay and they had her on ch 11's Good Day Wisconsin. One of the things they gave her to try was a deep fried cheese curd. She couldn't believe that we actually fried cheese.

    And no, I did not eat the Little Bo when I was there. It was still closed to the public. That's why the security guy and I played a little cat 'n mouse. He was going to make sure no one got in the driveway.

    Anyhow.....

  71. Yes, osh, give Johnny a message for me too. :) Look at it this way, at least someone is emailing you. :)

    minxie, I love the idea of cheese curds and wine for Johnny! Then add brats, and more cheese, and maybe a Cowpie or two...he'll weigh 300 lbs by the time we're done feeding him!

    ReplyDelete
  72. sadly, JD isn't allowed to eat food given to him by fans. Doug told Evan this in Columbus...Evan bought candy for JD and Jerry and wanted to know if they liked it and Doug had to tell Evan the truth...

  73. That is sad, osh, but understandable. Well, he can just buy his own beer, brats, cheese, cheese curds, and Cowpies!!! He can afford it, I hear he's loaded.

  74. I wish I was. Loaded, that is.

    ReplyDelete
  75. OK, I'll bite - what's booya!

    and what wine do you suggest with Dill???

    ReplyDelete
  76. "Booya!" Is what Imdb'ers shout out after they jab Rod with a pencil!
    (do these mini basketballs make my butt look big?)

    ReplyDelete
  77. Good! Then i'm gonna leave there.
    *Hums "baby got back"*

  78. that was B$ i saw the pic!!! Now I have no idea what to say.....

    ReplyDelete
  79. Tammi that's so cool. Thanks for sharing that. When and where is Mike Evans on? Does he have a website?

    ReplyDelete
  80. LMAO!! JP... WHAT were you thinking? LOL

    sad about no curds, beer, or brats for JD... I guess will just have to suggest it to him. Osh, have you let me out your basement yet? It really is time for him to get back to filming.... you've had him there long enough.... =0P

    ReplyDelete
  81. Char, I think I have heard that before. I never tried it, I will have to do that sometime. I agree with you Rod, I think anyone in Wisconsin could eat pounds of curds if they are not careful.

    ReplyDelete
  82. that is very cool tami - I'm reading comments in reverse (very confusing)

    BTW - I jsut saw Sweeney Todd scroll by on the upcoming PPV listing. already??

    ReplyDelete
  83. j^p, the new picture does not do you justice. You got too much junk in yer trunk!

    ReplyDelete
  84. Woo hoo! This is fun......
    I got rid of the basketballs...but now my shorts don't fit right...
    hmmmmmm?

    ReplyDelete
  85. minxie, that was a GREAT bad pun! "...on their whey." I nominate you for the Bad Punners Association of Wisconsin. Do I hear a 2nd?

    ReplyDelete
  86. JP.... panties showing is NOT a fashion statement! =0P

    ReplyDelete
  87. I was going to nominate you earlier in the day, but I got lost when I went looking for my rum stash. I'm so easily distracted...

    ReplyDelete
  88. mmmmm
    Culver's...the other Wisconsin treat

    ReplyDelete
  89. Rum? did someone say rum?
    *snuggles up to Lotus* you got rum? and nominations?

    ReplyDelete
  90. Hey Rob - yes, we love stories!

    And yours was great = ) I wish I had the guts to do stuff like that. but noooooo..... I need my bud Shannon for that kinda stuff!

    ReplyDelete
  91. osh, don't feel bad about j^p calling you a snob. He can't even keep his pants up!

    ReplyDelete
  92. Rod thanks for PE the pictures link-I am having PE withdrawal-maybe you can put a counter on your page somewhere so we know approximately how many days left till PE premieres?? ;)

    Okay don't hate me, I DON'T LIKE cheese curds! :O Love all other kinds of cheese and brats, okay don't like beer either-like the "hard" stuff only occasionally.....okay waiting to be pummeled now.......

    ReplyDelete
  93. minxie, I got rum, gin, and dandilion wine (whine). And nominations! Can I 2nd my own nomination?

    ReplyDelete
  94. sorry, still reading comments in reverse...

    I'm hungry, must go out for curds, wine, brats, culvers. How can there be nothing in my fridge?

    no rum, bad rum memories...

    ReplyDelete
  95. I think we can forgive deppfan for the curd dis. I love cheese, but HATE milk. We all have our quirks!

    ReplyDelete
  96. shakenbsis, you have bad rum memories? I have a really bad memory of overindulging on Black Russians. They all tasted great going down, but coming up was not a treat! And my hangover lasted more than two days.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Dandelion wine? hmmmm? my dad once put some dandelions in a salad... yikes they were bitter!
    Maybe they are dandier in wine... ;)

    ReplyDelete
  98. Osh called herself a snob...i merely agreed...because i'm agreeable.

    :)

    Watch out Lotus..you're next!

    ReplyDelete
  99. deppfan ~ what dont you like about curds?

    ReplyDelete
  100. JP... you looked so relaxed in the new pic!

    ReplyDelete
  101. I don't like the "SQUEAK" -the consistency is too watery for me I like the dense cheesiosity of real cheese :)

    ReplyDelete
  102. JP, seriously, who tskes these pictures of you? Are you selling a navy blue sport coat? Hair tonic for men? Or an escort service?

    ReplyDelete
  103. j^p, I saw your droopy drawers. Nothing else you could do or say to me could be half as bad!!! ;0

    ReplyDelete
  104. and about my snobbery, all I wanted to know if the collars on his $20 fancy JD shirts were double stitched or cheap single stitched and if I was being had.
    I am a stitch snob, tis true...the double stitch lays better.

    ReplyDelete
  105. "...the double stitch lays better." osh, are you sure you want to ask j^p about an escort service? LOL

    ReplyDelete
  106. Osh! The answer is:
    D) All of the above.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Ok, I am southern, a native Tennessean in fact.

    There are lots of foods I like that Y'all probably wouldn't like:
    country fried ham, fried okra, fried green tomatoes, beans and cornbread, banana pudding and pulled pork barbecue (that thing y'all cook on is a GRILL just cause you cook on a grill doesn't make what you cook on it BBQ!) man that makes me hungry!!!

    ReplyDelete
  108. deppfan, I love me some good fried okra! And hushpuppies. Not too big on pulled pork, though. Too stringy.

    ReplyDelete
  109. And fried green tomatoes. Great movie! But, us northerners fry the green ones too. It is a great movie though!

    ReplyDelete
  110. Thanks Deppfan... its a consistancly with you...you had me worried about the curds.

    I love fried okra, and fried green tomatoes! yummy!

    ReplyDelete
  111. Somehow I knew typing double stitch lays better would end up being about JP's panties or lack of.

    ReplyDelete
  112. Undergarments are over-rated.

    ReplyDelete
  113. j^p, is that a life-size cut-out of JD or are you getting a little weird/creepy?

    ReplyDelete
  114. JP is kissing a cut out? LMAO!!!

    *runs to hide Capt Jack's cut out*

    ReplyDelete
  115. Lotus I am both weird and creepy...
    and that is a cutout of Jd from a magazine that a guy from HOH started a myspace page for...he took a bunch of pictures of him bowling..at the bars....holding it up at just the right distance to make it look "to scale"..if you look up "johnny depp in oshkosh" on myspace..you should be able to find it..if you're into weird and creepy things. :)

    ReplyDelete
  116. You're right osh. I should have noticed it before; I would have liked him sooner. :0

    ReplyDelete
  117. *hides the rum, the panties, the cut outs, and t he login for myspace*

    ReplyDelete
  118. j^p, I wondered if that is how you did it. But I like the life-size cut-out better; you can dress it up and go dancing!

    ReplyDelete
  119. Jpanties, I saw that on Myspace awhile ago because I love weird and creepy, however, I can't find it now.

    ReplyDelete
  120. lol..and I'm the weird one?

    ReplyDelete
  121. I embrace my double stitched weirdness.

    ReplyDelete
  122. j^p, we've already accepted as fact that you are the weird/creepy one. :)

    ReplyDelete
  123. is it on House of Heroes friends list?
    Scott was the one that made that one....

    ReplyDelete
  124. Just wait until Friday.....you will all hate me (more).

    ReplyDelete
  125. Where did minxie go? I hope she's not out plundering bootie!

    ReplyDelete
  126. I'll bite. What happens on Friday j^p?

    ReplyDelete
  127. Whew.... that was a lot of stuff to hide.....

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  132. actually in Oshkosh it is around 1pm on Thursdays. I have it down to a science JP. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  133. *hides cheese curds (especially the fried ones) JD's pics, and any thing that will fit in JP's pants*

    (and creepy).
    :)

    ReplyDelete
  137. Minxie, I have just appointed myself as Mr JP's assistant. He is a happily married family man that enjoys skateboarding and making goofy faces. Other than that we have no comment.

    ReplyDelete
  138. Yes for realsies...Target, Walmart for starters. I will venture out. I need trash bags.

    ReplyDelete
  139. Well good JP... glad to see that you found someone who likes creepy too!

    My friend is heart broken... but hey, she lives here in Cali.... it would have never worked between you two!

    ReplyDelete
  140. Lotus....Friday (or Thursday if you're Osh and you have "the hook up") the latest edition of this nation's leading news publication "The National Enquirer" comes out...and there is going to be at least one picture of JD in it.....that someone on this blog might have sold them.

    ReplyDelete
  141. Hey all... gotta run... have a meeting to go to....

    Lotus ~ I will send you a map to all the treasures later... ;) Dont drink all the rum!

    JP by way his PA, Osh.... enjoy your evening... and stop kissing the cut outs...it makes them wet and yucky!

    Osh... as always you make me smile!

    Have a great evening everyone!

    ReplyDelete
  142. All cut outs are sealed for their protection.

    ReplyDelete
  143. I thought the cutout was sealed...and now i have three kids!
    Explain that!

    ReplyDelete
  144. I might be gone for 30-40 minutes...they are breaking my computer.

    ReplyDelete
  145. Thanks for the answer j^p. Might I assume that the "someone" is the person that we are all going to hate more on Friday? If you did it...I'm just jealous that you got paid! :)

    ReplyDelete
  146. Good bye, minxie, have a good meeting. Shiver-me-timbers, a real treasure map! j^p's gotta walk the plank. And osh can stick him with a pencil to make him jump off!

    ReplyDelete
  150. Union Star Cheese Factory in Zittau WI yes! highly reccomend Peg! When we lived in Winneconne we went there often!

    ReplyDelete
  151. Like he said, osh, the seal is already broken (3 kids). You know what they say about closing the barn door after the horse is already out...

    ReplyDelete
  152. j^p, have you ever seen the movie "Streets Of Fire?" When I first heard the name of the store, I wondered what you were selling. Now I know.

    ReplyDelete
  153. Lotus, I have one of my own "the seal was broken" he is 14 and goes by the name Streetwiser. I kept breaking more, but it never happened again.

  155. WHOS GIVING OUT RUM???????

    When DJ and I came back from St. John USVI we had 12 bottles of rum!

  160. The summer I met DJ we went through gallons of rum at the apartment pool!

    Rum and sun and pools!!! Hard to remember

    ReplyDelete
  161. Sorry it took me so long to reply about Mike Evans. He's on WYTE out of Wausau every morning at 7:45. I believe you can listen to his broadcast on his website. He's like a real life Forest Gump. Love listening to his shows.

  162. in honor or rod and dj's summer of rum.....

    ReplyDelete
  163. I was soo busy today I just got done reading the post and comments.

    Minxie - I can't believe you've never had a cheese curd! They're the best! The reason California has happy cows is because they are all on drugs! My favorite cheese curds are from Hooks Cheese at the Madison Farmer's Market

    Sunprairie - That Japanese JD video was sooo funny. Thanks for sharing!

    Suz - Thanks for the CD I'll have to come pick it up sometime. I don't know if I can come watch Benny and Joon on Sunday cuz I'm going to the inlaws to celebrate our birthdays. But I definitely want to come over and watch it with you sometime!

    Kathy - What is the name of the PBS special? Maybe I can order it from the library too! and what is BOOYAH?

    Deppfan - Love the word "cheesiosity"

    Someone should bring cheesecurds to Kurths on Friday!

    I finally got a haircut today after a whole year! Whew, I must have lost 10 lbs!

    Thanks all I got!

    ReplyDelete
  164. Rod, were you a swinger picking up chicks out by the apartment pool? Plying the ladies with the rum?

  167. the dimple depends on what time of day we take the pic...we like to shoot scenes out of order.

    ReplyDelete
  168. Rebel! Shooting scenes out of order is soooo cool!

    ReplyDelete
  169. Whoa! You guys were busy tonight. I was busy watching Pirates III. Last night it was What's Eating Gilber Grape. I'm trying to get through all of the Depp movies this summer. I also am studying pharmacology. Interesting combination. Makes me think of Blow. That kinda combines both. Yikes--I'm too tired to think/type straight. Goodnight.

  174. Well, looks like you've all gone to bed! Missed out again. = )

    Busy 'situating' kitteh's in prep for momma's surgery tomorrow = ( Sorry momma, no more babies for you. (makes me a little sad though)

    The two babies are here alone right now and think I am a mountain that exists solely for their climbing pleasure!

    Sleep well all you rummies! =

    ReplyDelete
  175. Shakenbsis... I am still here!

    ReplyDelete
  176. Huh. I'm still up. And I'm usually a rummie (Malibu), but I'm a Wino (Forever) tonight. ;)

    Are you sleeping with the babies tonight, Ms. Mountain?

  181. Minxie,

    You can imagine my chagrin the year I lived in Californ-I-A and had to endure those happy cow commercials. LOL

    I'll not even click on them! :p (It's good to be home again, where the real happy cows reside)!

    ;)

    ReplyDelete
  182. LOL... since I am here playing by myself.... here's a link about the casting call for Joliet....

    http://tinyurl.com/3fouee

    ReplyDelete
  183. Suz... I can see where some those commercials would make you home sick.... they are funny though.

    Jenny said earlier that the cows were happy because they were on drugs.... LOL. Personally, I think they are happy because of the weather.... :)

    ReplyDelete
  184. Hee Heee - Yeah, I was sooo tired I zonked.

    I missed the happy cow conversation = ) I LOVE thos commercials. Believe it or not Minxie, they air them here too! LOL

    I haven't clicked on your clips yet since I don't have speakers attached to this machine and can't find my headphones, but have you seen the one where (cow's name) heads for Cali? It's kinda blizzardy and she is off camera, two other cows are talking about her and wishing her a good trip. One asks the other how long ago she made a break for it and I can't remember the reply but perhaps something like 2 days ago. Then they pan to her and she's perhaps 200 yards off in the distance! Hilarious!!

    Maybe funny to me since I'm a CA/WI girl. The cows in CA may be happier, bu the WI cheese is definitely a cut above!

    ReplyDelete
  185. Well, since the two kitteh's just konked out after spending the last half hour climbing Mount-Blogger, I should probably make a break for it! = )

    ReplyDelete
  186. haha
    Dillinger slept 5 hours straight last night! On my head.

    ReplyDelete
  187. Shakenbsis: I dont think I have seen that commercial. They show those in WI? Wow! I wouldnt have thought that.... and yes... I agree, WI cheese is better.... must be the water! ;)

    Osh.... kitteh head warmer! Love it! My big black cat (Dartanion) does the same thing!

    Gotta love the kittehs!!!!
