Comments:
<0> Even though its cider...I just liked them
<1> In fact, I think I got it at Woodman's near West Town Mall in Madison.
<0> hahhaa
<1> I used to live in Madison too.
<0> I've never heard of beelzebuth
<0> But yeah....woodman's rules. We have one here too
<1> There's a Woodman's about 15 miles from here
<1> Another one opening about 8 miles from here.
<0> Before you I thought there was only Madison, Appleton, and Lacrosse
<1> I'm about to move to Chicago proper and my soon-to-be wife insists we're going to drive out to the suburbs to shop at Woodman's.
<1> Fine with me. They have everything Wisconsin there.
<0> well yeah!
<1> They even have Bucky Badger nacho cheese dip in the Woodmans' here in Illinois. It's a riot.
<0> =)
<1> anyway, whereabouts in Madison did you live?
<0> Do they have ugh....just a sec...gotta get my cheese
<1> I lived on the corner of Gorham and Wisconsin, 2 blocks from the Capitol Square.
<1> yes, they have plenty of "ugh....just a sec...gotta get my cheese"
<0> Gorham street...about 12 blocks north of State st.....just before the lake to the west
<0> I never got the lakes names down....
<1> They have a whole display dedicated to artisan cheeses from Wisconsin. It makes my heart glow.
<1> My fiancee doesn't understand why I'm so obsessed with buying cheese made in Wisconsin.
<2> I was at a drag strip in Muncie, IN this weekend, lost my farking time slips.
<0> Weyauwega cheese...do they have that?
<2> $35, four runs, and no paper to show for it
<1> Not sure. I'll look the next time. :)
<1> CanOfSpam: what was your best time?
<2> 14.7 1/4
<2> cant remember the trap speed
<1> hey, not bad
<2> yeah, naturally aspirated. stock exhaust, old tires
<2> only upgrades are ECU, TCU, and the fact that its a '90 means its lighter.
<0> Its the best...I'm just talking the shredded in a bag stuff. Y'know there's sargento, blah blah....and weyauwega hehe
<2> and a strut tower bar, which of course doesnt mean anything in a drag
<1> not much
<2> I watched a Grand Am blow a head gasket as it ran 14.1
<1> I reckon I should take the SHO-boat to the track some day and find out if Borla's claim that their exhaust adds 30HP is as much a crock of **** as I suspect it is.
<2> nice white puff of smoke as it got half way down the strip
<0> Then I lived for another year it Fitchburg....a suburb....closer to their "other" woodmans...which I think was the west one
<2> I imagine the stock SHO was pretty plugged up from the factory
<3> http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/03/AR2006060300710_pf.html
<1> Sargento... I never knew it was a Wisconsin company until a couple weeks ago when I looked for companies that use Wisconsin cheese at the Wisconsin Dairy Board website.
<0> I had two lives in Madison....based upon which Woodmans was closer ;)
<0> Sargento is kraft I think
<1> You don't usually equate Italian-sounding names with Wisconsin cheese, but now that I know Sargento not only uses Wisconsin cheese but is also a native Wisconsin company, I've vowed to buy their products at every opportunity.
<1> Same for Dutch Farms.
<0> When I was in San Francisco last...and Oregon...I was hearing cali is now the leader of cheese prod. though
<1> So you lived on Gorham St. too. Wow. We might have been spiritual neighbors or something.
<0> And I swear...their frozen pizzas...same brand....the cheese is different
<1> yeah, Cali is the #1 dairy state.
<1> Which kind of ****s, since California dairy is awful.
<2> I thought Sargento was a brand of sauce
<0> So why do I get moo'ed at all the time ;)
<0> haha
<2> I am off to bed.
<0> Night can
<4> Hell now that I know that I'll buy sargento.
<1> because Cali is so huge that it can be the #1 dairy state and still comprise a miniscule part of its economy and culture; whereas the dairy industry still comprises a substantial part of Wisconsin's economy and culture.
<0> The other big one here is Cyrstal Farms
<1> Hell, even the Culvers stores way the hell down in Champaign IL sell fried cheese curds.
<4> I was suprised to learn that wisconsin has one of the biggest markets for seafood in the country.
<0> Seafood or just fish in general?
<4> Good question, it didn't go far into detail. salt water fish vs fresh water fish vs various other things.
<4> Just one of those factoids on food network.
<0> Fishing is big here
<1> Probably seafood, though in Wisconsin "Seafood" is almost exclusively fish in general.
<3> http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/religion/stories/DN-gopreligion_04tex.ART.State.Edition1.903cb29.html
<0> Hunting too
<3> WTH am I reading.
<1> It bears mentioning that Wisconsin is bordered by 2 of the Great Lakes, and that there are some 15,000 lakes in inland Wisconsin.
<1> So fish is a rather important part of Wisconsin's food stock (and culture, I might add)
<4> I know it mentioned huge fish boils and fish frys so big they have to be held in football stadiums.
<0> And close by...Minnesota....land of "how many is it?" lakes
<4> 10,000 isn't it?
<0> I think minnesota has the most lakes of any US state
<4> the slogan atleast.
<0> Yeah I think so
<1> Thousands of lakes stocked with fish + German Catholic heritage = Wisconsin's "Friday Fish Fry" tradition, still a huge deal to this day.
<0> hahhaa
<1> VemoD: Minnesota is "Land of 10,000 Lakes." And whoever came up with that slogan severely underestimated.
<4> I remember being in michigan and being told by my father in law you can't go 5 miles without hitting some body of water.
<1> There are about 15,000 lakes in Wisconsin... and if Minnesota is 50% bigger... do the math and all.
<0> Yup....friday fish fry...which I must say is too catholic for me
<0> Then there's the testicle festivals...
<4> To hell with that, fish frys are great.
<4> catholic or not
<1> Fish frys are awesome.
<0> Yeah...but why Friday?
<1> Fish frys in the upper Midwest aren't strictly a Catholic thing any more. They've tapped into the deeper fishing culture of the region.
<0> I mean...the same fish is served 7 days a week at the same restaurants :)
<1> And yes, they're awesome.
<4> Because a fish fry is nothing like going to red lobster.
<1> One of the most spectacular appetizers I've ever had at a Wisconsin supper club is walleye cheeks.
<1> Damned delicious.
<0> I'll have Tuesday Fish Fry just to be complicated :)
<1> VemoD: Friday because many Catholics don't eat meat on Friday (and tradition held that seafood was not "meat")
<0> :)
<3> Fish STick Friday all across america.
<3> Did anyone read that Texas GOP article I posted?
<4> buy of course that is only during the lenten season.
<3> From the DallasMorningNews?
<4> atleast now.
<0> Shouldn't it be Fish Stick Sunday?
<4> no
<1> Wisconsin's culture is drenched in German culture -- namely, Bavarian (Catholic) culture; there's a bunch of fish in Wisconsin; Many Catholics don't eat "land meat" on Fridays; the net result is "Fish-Fry Friday" which has become a cultural institution in Wisconsin even for Protestants.
<0> Polish is huge btw
<0> Polish, German, Oneida, Menominee
<5> hello republicans
<6> German is like 50% of the popuilation
<4> Hello (despite not being a republican)
<0> evoke: oktoberfest :)
<5> well, i say that because i know the bush approval rate in here is high
<4> ah, I must have missed the polling day.
<7> Abusive Domain or User
<1> VemoD: Polish is a fair part of Wisconsin heritage, but mostly in Milwaukee. Bavarian is far more widespread across the state. The only ethnicity that competes for statewide dominance is Scandanavian.
<1> (God I love doing Oktoberfest in Wisconsin :)
<0> disco: I didn't know that. I'm polish (well lithuanian but at the time I guess it was part of Poland) and German
<1> VemoD: Scandanavian influence accounts for a big portion of Wisconsin's Lutheran heritage.
<0> Yup...me family is Lutheran though
<0> I dunno....to the people I know that doesn't all hold up
<1> German immigration accounts for a fair portion of it, of course, but most German immigration into Wisconsin came from Catholic Bavaria.
<5> so who here supports a gay marriage ban?
<0> Most of the scandanavian descents that I know are catholic...but they seem to all have some Irish in them
<1> Gay marriage is asinine.
<0> begod: I'm homo
<1> That said, so is a Constitutional ban on it.
<4> I support a marriage ban.
<5> how is marriage not tied to a religion?
<4> Because you can get married and not be religious. It's just a social contract.
<8> it might have been traditionally, but why should tradition dictate laws
<5> Chrono: social contract according to whom?
<4> According to the state that issues it.
<5> some states
<4> I'm fairly certain no state requires you to get married in a church.
<5> i didn't realize you could be legally married w/out religion though thats new to me
<4> Yup, you must not get out often.
<5> well then gay marriage shouldn't matter at all whats the big deal?
<1> VemoD: so I take it you live near Green Bay?
<4> Heck if I know.
<5> well you must know if you want to ban it
<0> disco: Yeah...35 miles or so
<4> Like I said I don't even think the government should be involved in the marriage business.
<1> VemoD: lucky bastard.
<4> I never said I wanted to ban gay marriage. Get your facts straight.
<5> oh sorry, i thought you said gay marriage ban
<4> No problem.
<5> yes a general marriage ban would be fine
<1> VemoD: as you almost certainly know, every Chicagoan wishes they could live in the Northwoods... if only they could make as much money up there as they do down here...
<1> I'm no exception...
<1> oh, and also, if only Chicago were located where Rhinelander is now, but without exerting m***ive pressure on the surrounding real estate market...
