I blame the entire state of Wisconsin.

[SOteric]

The citizens thereof, the cows in the dairy farms, all of Milwaukee, the little children, the bowling leagues, the hot dish suppers. All of it. Everyone.

My colleague at work went to Wisconsin for a reunion. All we wanted from him was a postcard. Maybe a brick of Wisconsin cheddar. But nooooo! What did he bring back to share with the rest of us?!


Wisconsin Cheese Flu. Creeping Wisconsin Cheese Death.


I'll forgive the state of Wisconsin when I can breathe again and I don't have the work of six of my sick cow-orkers clogging up my inbox.

[XNASA]

1. Last time I was in Wisconsin I was nearly eaten by mosquitoes.

What is it with that place?

Hope you feel better soon. And your coworkers as well.

[IsIt1984Yet]

2. Misdirected anger. It's the FIBS who bring their germs here in the summer.

Blame Illinois. (and don't forget to pronounce the "S")

[SOteric]

10. I'm willing to blame them too.

Ill-i-noiz. All of 'em. And especially Oprah. She's lookin' too perky.

[Magrittes Pipe]

12. Don't go starting another Boston/Chicago flamewar....

;)

[SOteric]

14. D'oh!

Grosse Pointe.

I take it back about Ill-i-noiz. I blame Michigan. And Oprah.

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. What the hell??? Slamming on WI...and then slamming on the state

I moved to from Wisconsin??? :cry: OMG! OMG!!111!!! And I bet you knew I live a couple miles outside of Grosse Pointe. What is going on? Why didn't you just post a "MrsGrumpy Sucks Eggs" Thread. :cry: I need to go lay down now....sniffle...













































:rofl:

[IsIt1984Yet]

13. She pays all the germs to go north into WI.

bitch

[mark414]

36. yeah, lousy FIBs go home!

although if i lived in illinois i'd leave as often as possible too

[dolo amber]

3. Mission accomplished

:patriot:

(Feel better. ;))

[SOteric]

15. Hey! Accomplished here is in the same sense as used by Dubya!

:bounce:

Entirely for comic affect!



(and thanks, - I'm sipping hot, lemony beverages)

[Magrittes Pipe]

4. Heh. I feel like cold shit.

:thumbsdown:

[SOteric]

11. Yesterday's Poo?

[skygazer]

5. I drove through Wisconsin back in June

We stopped for lunch and my SO ordered a Philly cheesesteak. And there, in the heart of a land known for its cheese, on an item that's all about cheese, he received his sandwich and there was NO CHEESE on it!

God, that was the funniest thing ever. :rofl:

[Ellen Forradalom]

6. Creeping Wisconsin Cheese Death?

You mean the Packers?

[SOteric]

7. MrsGrumpy's gonna kick your keester for that.

[IsIt1984Yet]

9. After last night's game, maybe not.

[Ellen Forradalom]

18. Hey, I back the Pack.

Family's in WI.

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. I'm going to pretend you weren't feeling well when you wrote that.

Yep. That's what I'm going to do. Because I like you Ellen Forradalom. Yes I do. And even if the Packers have a bad day...we have to pretend like it didn't happen. That's for sure.


:cry:


Edited: to add waving smiley :hi: so that you know I'm kidding with you! :hi:

[xmas74]

22. I always pretend that it didn't happen.

Then I turn around and rip on the Chiefs. It makes me feel better.

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. That's the ticket!!!

:hug: :hug: :hug:

[xmas74]

26. That's the only way to live.

if nothing else, I can always rub in to my coworkers that their brats suck. Chiefs fans cannot not a proper brat.

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. No one outside of Wisconsin can make a proper brat.

My husband's family makes fun of me for boiling them in beer, and then they stuff themselves full when they're hot off the grill... the charcoal grill. :D

Another thing, where else in the world can you get a dog in sauce but Miller ( I miss saying County) stadium. I remember cupping my hands around mine on opening day...just to stay warm. :hi:

[xmas74]

30. I still call it County.

I can't quite get the hang of Miller.

And a dog in sauce sounds so damn good!

Know what else I miss? Smelt. Grew up in Kenosha and we make some damn good smelt there!

[Left Is Write]

42. I went to County Stadium once...

The Brewers were playing the Red Sox, when Frank Viola was pitching for the Sox. We sat just a few rows behind home plate. The weather was 80 degrees and lightly breezy. Sitting there with a brat in one hand and a beer in the other, I found myself hoping the game would go into extra innings.

[GOPisEvil]

45. Hey! I'm in TEXAS and I know to simmer my brats in beer first.

I've never even SEEN Wisconsin except in pictures. How dare they mock you for preparing brats correctly.



Full disclosure: I don't own a grill, so I cook mine on the stove top in a cast iron grill pan. Grill marks are grill marks, dammit!

[ScreamingMeemie]

49. Damn straight baby!

:yourock:

[Left Is Write]

8. They don't have hotdish suppers in Wisconsin.

That's Minnesota. Sometimes North Dakota.

[RevCheesehead]

28. Ya, dat's true.

Here, der called "Potluck", eh? :hi:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

38. But in some parts of Wisconsin they have fish boils.

Which is actually much better than it sounds, usually better than hotdish.

[IsIt1984Yet]

46. And in Milwaukee we have Fish Fry Friday. Everydamnwhere.

[RevCheesehead]

50. Not the ones I've been to.

Key to a good fish boil: Lots of beer before, during, and after. ;)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

51. Used to go to them a lot when I was a kid.

Mom's family is from Green bay/Sturgeon Bay. My uncle used to have fish boils on the beach down along N. Bay Shore Drive where my grandma lived. Good stuff, even though it sounds weird. Now I live in MN and eat hotdish.

[JVS]

33. Sure they don't. Those states are all alike

[Left Is Write]

34. JVS, JVS, JVS.

NEVER tell a Minnesotan or a Wisconsinite that the states are interchangeable.

Besides, hotdish truly is quintessentially Minnesotan.

[buddhamama]

16. oh shoot

that stinks! it stinks worse than rotten moldy wisconsin cheese.

and here i posted this response in a different thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=5561923&mesg_id=5565382

guess my wish for you was doomed from the start.

feel better soon, Julsy! :hug: :loveya:

[SOteric]

17. I can still have a grand day,

with good people like you to wish me well.

:loveya: :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. I thought you were my friend!!!

:cry:

Are you saying you don't want a care package of cheese from the Mars Cheese Castle for Christmas?? :cry:

I can't take this anymore.

[Critters2]

39. Mars Cheese Castle!!

I used to drive past that all the time, going from my place in Champaign to my folks' in West Bend. And Bong Recreation Area.

Good times!

[ComerPerro]

23. I don't care what you're blaming on them, I'm with you

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. You know what???

I think you people (that's right, you people) are just jealous of the fine people of the state of Wisconsin. That's what I think. x(

[ComerPerro]

27. Hey, no, I love Wisconsin

its where Chicagoland goes to get drunk.

[Left Is Write]

31. I lived behind the Cheddar Curtain for three years.

It's not too bad. Except for that bubbler thing. It's a drinking fountain, you know, then.

[Critters2]

35. And they're restrooms--not lavatories!! nt

[ScreamingMeemie]

40. It is...and always will be...a bubbler.

Bubbler ride sounds so much better. :hi:

[CatholicEdHead]

44. Still water fountain ;)

And it is pop, not soda. :p

[ScreamingMeemie]

48. Nope. It is soda pop.

:P

[mduffy31]

32. Listen

...you want to blame us for things that is fine, but I won't stand for you slandering our cheese...come on lets go me and you....:grr: :nuke:

[Critters2]

37. Say what you will about Wisconsin

Sprecher's is still the best root beer in the world!
