The Day of A Thousand Cream Puffs

The bitterness of poor quality lasts long after the sweetness of making a date is forgotten.

Final meeting of Year One Public Enemies Columbus Celebration was last night and I spent part of the rest of the evening answering and calling Picture Car Drivers.

From what I was told THIS celebration is the King Pin and the one the drivers have been looking forward too. I'm always asked how many cars are coming and I tell them I have no real answer "what do you think" is my typical response.

Well they say. At the Portage Columbus was talked about and the Iola show Columbus was talked about and "they" would not be surprised if we get 40 cars.

Can the Middle School hold 40 cars? Louie?? You are across the street aren't you? I've never looked at it in this way.

Here is a list of events.

Looking for the interview from Madison CW? With Robbie, Karen and little ol' me!

----------------------------------------------

Julie from Julie Java House is making 1000 Cream Puffs (which scare me) and there will be all sorts of food that the fireman are cooking up.

Plus 300 great looking dark red/burgundy T-Shirts with the little PE guy on the front. Robbie said 500 and after thinking about it I agreed. For $10 each they will go fast but the powers that be did not want to pull the trigger on 500 so they went with 300. So if you want one you better get it early.

At 5:04 this morning I woke up to rain and Milo whining and an idea came to my little brain.

We need a name for our little PE guy. What we need is a large cardboard cut out of "PE Guy" and we need to think of maybe 10 names and then have people can VOTE for their favorite.

Since this will be a yearly event (Gangster Days?) we should give him a name and get people involved.

Ideas????
==========================

Big Brother spoiler - sort off.

Is anyone else watching Big Brother? If you are make sure you watch Thursday. Something is happening in the house that, from people that have seen it all, say is the KING of all confrontations. Never has one person taken so much abuse and, he brought it all on himself.

RONNIE! ARE YOU CRAZY???

NOT, backdooring Russell was in effect backdooring ALL the other players in the game ON BOTH SIDES and I believe this is the biggest bonehead blunder in the history of Big Brother and he is paying the price. I wonder how much they will show on Thursday night. I heard it got rather ugly (like having 11 Evil Dicks?).

Seriously - you tell people you are playing both sides and position yourself in a good position and then when you talk EVERYBODY into backdooring a bully and PROMISE everyone on both teams. . . . . and then change your mind because feeble minded Jesse?

talk about stabbing all 11 players in the back all at once!!
-----------------------------------------

BTW - did I mention that the old rusty mill will be torn down and a new huge warehouse will be erected in it's place. This and perhaps lengthening the railroad corridor in the industrial park area will bring in new business.

I don't know the exact facts but body language and the words coming out of mouths had people pretty pumped up about major industry coming on.
-----------------------------------------

On this day John Dillinger was gunned down a 10:40 p.m - perhaps you have head of him!

Sadly - Anna Sage (Ana Cumpănaş - real name) only received half of the $10,000 reward AND was deported to Romania anyway.
