2. I go with predator.


I think FISH is the wildlife version.

And everybody knows man and FISH canNOT coexist peacefully in this state!

5. OK, you've got a point.
You should see them gather in Door County. You can tell them by their VERY LOUD VOICES, among other things. Oh, and they never saw a trinket shop they didn't enter.

6. I see 'em here in Sheboygan too.
When they stop across the street to get gas and booze.
(More booze, less gas.) :-)

34. why, I believe you're developing a sore throat...
Edited on Thu Dec-01-05 02:36 PM by RevCheesehead
and a bad headache. Must be time for an afternoon SOS day. (can you do that? Just go home and take a nap, while everyone else is out of the house. You could even sleep *gasp* nekkid!)

24. Just a kind of brainless parasite that known neither how to drive
nor how to hunt, nor how not to pollute.

26. I think we need to make I-90/94 a toll road.
Anyone with WI plates gets a pass.
Any other out of state, gets a pass and a free piece of cheese...
but any FIB gets a bill, and a trash bag.

27. I have been thinking the same thing since I was in high school,
lo those many years ago.

They charge us to drive through their state, we should charge them entry into ours, especially considering the damage they do to us and how much it costs to pick up their trash.

I also think the troopers should concentrate much more on stopping the radically out of control IL drivers. I know it's a kind of racial profiling (in a sense), but for pities' sake when are we gonna re-claim our roads as our own and cease tolerating the bullshit?

28. Not so much racial, as it is species.
And I agree. I can't tell you how many times I'm flying down I-43 between 70-75 mph, and some asshole in a CADILLAC or LEXUS SUV passes me, going at least 90 mph.

Where did ya grow up here, Rabrrrrrr?
(I realize that's presuming that you have, actually, grown up.)

but I was raised in the south-of-madison and east-of-lacrosse areas.

Though some of your Twin Cities residents are uppity nouveau riche snotfucking imbeciles who have a miserable time adhering to midwestern nicety values and drive their Volvos like FIBs drive.

39. Oh hell--are you Cheeseheads whining again?
You think you are the only ones that put up with shit? Let me tell you about being a downstater. EVERYBODY thinks that Illinois is limited to Chicago. They have NO idea that real people live here and we DON'T go to Lake Geneva or Door every freaking summer. WHY the hell do you let them IN?

I've been to door, and I can't say it thrilled me all that much. The fish boils are just nasty (Yeah--BOILED fish with soggy corn on the cob and overdone onions and spuds--THAT is a real freaking treat. I really thought the gallon of BUTTER dumped over it all was a nice touch, BTW.)

I also have GOT to ask this--who the fuck ever told anyone up there that Cherries make good wine? Gawd, that shit is nasty. And WHAT is the deal with all that nick-nack shit you are trying to pass off as "art"? Frankly a chamber pot with a fucking lighthouse jammed in it just isn't high art, neither is an "Ephraim is for lovers" poster.

Oh--and WTF is UP with the Packers this year?

Sorry gang, but this FIB is most content to sit here in the corn and leave you to enjoy your corner of the world.

:hi:

Laura


PS: In truth, I have most happy memories of Madison and Black Earth. I still have friends up there and want to get back up again sometime. Do you Wisconsin folks ever have gatherings?

41. LOL. FIB traps or FLY traps?
Gawd. I honestly have no idea how you guys DEAL with it. All joking aside, we actually went to Door about 10 years ago and I was amazed and horrified--and we were there before the "season." I would imagine it has only gotten worse. I enjoyed hiking on the lakefront, but i was seriously ready to leave the traffic and money grubbers behind.

I did have a wonderful time talking football in Green Bay on the way home, however, and I was most impressed with the folks I met. They managed to forgive me for my "FIBness" after a beer or two, and I managed to forgive them for being Packer Backers.

All in all, however, I did leave my heart over in Black Earth/Mt. Horeb area. That is some lovely country, but it seemed seriously politically split between the uber-conservatives and the leftover hippies. An amazing place, but I could NEVER deal with all that snow on those hilly roads...

Peace!


Laura
