The Sassy Cow Adventure.

I am hopefully in contact with Sassy personal about the best time to show up Friday night. If you need to make plans just figure on being around the Kurth 6ish. I'll have more info when I get more info.

I wonder if their barns are in a East West orientation so the cows can naturally face North South.

Maybe some day we can take a trip to a Llama farm and see how Llama milk tastes! Next time I go to Starbucks I'm asking for a Double Shot Vanilla Latte with 1% Llama Milk at 114 Degrees Whipped No Foam.
====================================

Many of you come up to me and say "Rod your view of the world tends to lean towards contextual objectivity"

I hear this over and over - it's so . . . . . Columbyte!

Well - I'm just taking my cue from Fox News and it's spin off network Al-Jazeera, the two best news organizations in the World.

So since SOME people think that perhaps there is more to the story, the rest of the story some say (a blatant copy of something I always said and tried to copyright, paperwork is still in Washington I guess).

Here is

The Rest of the Story
From : Todd Frey

Regarding Mondays blog…

Although the Columbus Carriage Classic tribute was much appreciated the local Columbus media (www.publicenemiescolumbus.blogspot.com) failed to report on the tragedy at the end of the closing ceremonies. The Ceremonies Great Tower was engineered and designed in the autumn of 2007. Unfortunately the tower of folding chairs, park benches and crepe paper failed under the pressure of my recent weight gain. Upon my accent to the peak of the Great Tower the entire structure leaned left, veered right, took a bad bounce and all 230 persons upon the Great Tower crashed to the ground.

Oh the humanity. Miraculously there were no injuries. The intense blows to the ground were cushioned by popcorn centerpieces created by Ellen Gorton at Carousel Antiques. In all human tragedy there are those that quietly saved lives and see no credit. Just prior to the closing ceremonies Alice Schmidt popped fresh popcorn to top off the centerpieces.

Law enforcement investigators believe that many would have perished if not for the heroic acts of Alice. Being that only the most virile men and fruitful women were selected to climb the Great Tower the entire future of the City of Columbus was once again saved by Alice Schmidt.

Despite the “do not eat the popcorn” signs placed throughout the park, a drifter, never seen at a Carriage Classic before, was reported by many witnesses. This drifter was spotted numerous times with what appeared to be artificial butter flavored topping dripping from his chin. Columbus Police Investigators are seeking information about the drifter known only as “grinder”. He was last spotted near the Christopher Columbus statue on the west edge of Columbus with an M-80 and a microwave bag of Orville Redenbacher’s Theater Style Popping Corn.

Other than that the Columbus Carriage Classic was once again a big success. Without community support the Columbus Carriage Classic could not succeed. Countless volunteer hours and generous financial sponsorships by Columbus Citizens bring the event to life. Thank You!

Here comes Gustav


If I were you I would be filling up my cars with gas. I bet once Gustav nears the oil wells gas prices will be going up this weekend.

Gustav has been hugging the North coast of southwestern Haiti this morning and the storm should stay as it is until it wonders away from Haiti's high terrain.

HOWEVER once past Haiti the deep warm waters north of Jamaica and very little winds aloft there will be a ton of fuel being added to Gustav. This is going to be a major hurricane. Once it hits the open waters of the Gulf with nothing in it's way and no major weather systems to impede it's progress it'll cause a fair amount of havoc to the oil wells.
=========================

In 1883 the loudest noise ever heard happened as the island of Krakatau exploded.

Heard 3,000 miles away, the explosions threw five cubic miles of earth 50 miles into the air, created 120-foot tsunamis and killed 36,000 people.

The volcanic eruption cooled the earth by several degrees.

Krakatau, which is still active, Indonesia.

This has some meaning to me because I was really pulling for the name of our rock band to be called Krakatau. However, for some reason the other members of the band really liked . . . . . . Wonderhorse.

The band had a brief yet storied life brought to an end when parents would not let us travel out of the State. We played at the Jefferson Homecoming and a few other towns in southern Wisconsin but refused to be the opening act for puppet shows an the fair.

To this day I believe we were the only touring High School band with timpani and a psychedelic light show.

Mike on the timpani.
==================

NEWS FLASH!!!!

Jets decide against Brett Favre and get trade voided.

Green Bay takes Favre back.

In a sudden turn of events, the Green Bay Packers have traded Brett Favre to the Chicago Bears.

In return, Chicago is giving us back Door County, Eagle River, Minoqua, Crivitz and the left lane of the Interstate.

In other sports news Michael Strahan has decided to stay retired!

  2. I predict gas prices will go up this weekend, not because of the hurricane, but because it's a travel weekend and Big Oil knows they can screw us one last time.

    Crime EVERYWHERE!!! :o

    Ha! Ha! Very funny Brett Favre story, Rod. I wanted Strahan to come out of retirement so I could have some ammo on those pro-management idiots. :p

    Kathy, can you come over and get the centipede on my bedroom wall? I fear he will fall into my bed. EEK!!

  6. "Wonderhorse?" That so... as osh would say... ghey! But at least you guys had actual, you, know... gigs!

    My early '80s band was the Static Disruptors. We played at college a few times, then I left the band. They later had some success on the Washington DC scene. Looking back, I wish I'd spent less time studying and more time as a punk.

  7. See...I'm the opposite. I wish I'd spent more time studying and less time being a punk. Maybe I'd be something now if I had! :p

    LOL

    Speaking of being a punk, anyone up for a beer on the last Wednesday of the summer tonight?

  14. Perfect timing on the comment of getting Door County back. Dh and I
    got back from three days there just this afternoon. Loved Julie's and all of the help, Rod. Was the fellow you were trying to think of Michael from Lithuania? He left late yesterday (with two others from there) to go back home. Had a pizza at Digger's the first night
    there; fantastic! All other meals were at Julie's; not a bad mouthful!! Thanks for the tips!
    Kris, the link to the chairs in Monday's comments; four of us could go together and bid on them!!
    Rod, love the flower pictures from yesterday (as usual)!!
    Don't know yet about the Sassy Cow & Kurth's Friday. I'd love too; but have so much to catch up on.

  15. I regret to inform y'all that I have to take Evan back up north to Dillinger Country (Little Bo area) for more tubing and hanging out with his gang.

    We won't be able to attend the Sassy Cow...

    I am hoping that once school starts up for him, I can have part of my life back that includes The Kurth.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I am still planning on going to the sassy cow on friday. I would want to leave right from work at 4:00pm so If someone would be willing to meet me either at the kurth's or somewhere else at 5:00pm I would greatly appreciate it. If someone would be willing to let me crash or take a nap that night I would appreciate it also.

  18. Osh, have fun in Little Bo. Please let me know if they have received the rest of their artifacts back from the film company! After hearing about the problems that vintage stop light guy is having, I'm worried that they may find themselves in the same situation!! I'm hoping the film company just wants the items until the premiere; but find it strange that they aren't keeping in touch with the owner of this prop!!

  19. Osh!!!!!!
