    Necco Wafers

    No kidding. I dislike Necco for more than their shitty candy. For years local confectioner Stark Candy Company made candy raisins. Nothing to do with raisins. A member of the soft jujube family with a honey, ginger, lilac / violet flavor. Maybe a little bit medicinal. Really delicious. Kind of a local thing like bubblers and brandy old fashioned sweets with olives. Necco bought Stark and discontinued candy raisins. After a couple of years of sweethearts and wafers, Necco closed the local factory. A lot of people were out of work. What? Did the Chinese start exporting conversational hearts and sidewalk chalk? Only recently have real candy raisins made from the original patented recipe become available again. So. Hard luck, Necco.
  3. Why I'd recognize that recidivist anywhere.
  4. Even the field at Lambeau is interesting. At the beginning of one tour, the guide asked, "What makes the Packers different from other NFL teams?" And this little boy yells, "THEY'RE AWESOME!" The guide was looking for being publicly owned but I liked the kid's answer, too. That was a great tour. Forgot a Green Bay side trip: The National Railroad Museum. Most exhibits are indoors; a rain shower won't spoil the trip. There are locomotives and cars you can board so you're not just looking at trains from ground level. My favorite: A rare geared logging locomotive for steep slopes and tight turns with heavy loads. Rusting away on the back lot waiting patiently for restoration. Note the link and pin coupler on the front of the engine.
  5. Take the Lambeau tour if possible, too. The Alumni Tour and HOF package is the most comprehensive and will take most of the day. There's a lot of material to cover. https://www.packers.com/lambeau-field/stadium-tours Then go across the street to Kroll's. Happy hour is Monday through Friday from 3:30pm to 7:00pm. It isn't the greatest restaurant but you'll be able to cross booyah off your eating list. Don't bother trying to find the party houses. They look like normal homes when the the Pack isn't playing in Green Bay. On game day it's another matter. Packers games have been sold out since 1960 and the waiting list is at 133, 700 people; the wait time is estimated at fifty years but that isn't true because there is virtually no turnover. Most people inherit their tickets. When a baby is born, you get the birth certificate and then sign him or her up on the Green Bay waiting list. I am not kidding. The other thing is that the people I know with season tickets will meet at a bar to jump on the rental bus to Green Bay. Once we get there, we are scattered all over the stadium. So, if you are planning on going to a game, start checking the online scalpers now. Don't don't forget to have your picture taken at the new Lambeau Leap statue. If you have an extra day, drive north from Green Bay to Door County. Picturesque lighthouses, beautiful Peninsula State Park. Instead of a fish fry, have a fish boil. Appleton is kind of a drive-by city to me. I've eaten at The Red Ox, a steakhouse. It was okay. If you have never had Chicago-style hot dog or dipped Italian beef with mozzarella (no giardiniera - sweet peppers), try Downtown Chicago Grill. Italian beefs are messy - casual clothes, grab plenty of napkins. Trust me. For Chicago deep dish pizza, Uno's. For German food or Friday night fish fry, Mark's East Side. I like the schnitzel a la Holstein (ask for asparagus) and schaum torte for dessert. Appleton has a lot of shopping opportunities; I'm not really a shopper. Oshkosh has an outlet mall. Or you could drive around Lake Winnebago and visit High Cliff State Park. Or rent a boat and explore Lake Butte des Morts (Bluff of Death) and Lake Winneconne.

  7. Ama, the topless Japanese female pearl divers, on surfacing exhale with a long whistling sound to prevent the bends. You don't have to be diving to be susceptible. 300 feet below Milwaukee there is a 17 mile long system of tunnels created to prevent sewage overflows into Lake Michigan during thunderstorms. Each worksite had a hyperbaric chamber in the event of decompression sickness.
  8. Sometimes it's those more adventurous flavors that are really great. Matcha green tea, purple sweet potato, sakura cherry blossom, rose, lavender, pumpkin, adzuki sweet red bean ....
  9. No. My grandparents read that book to me in 1959 and it still makes me surly.
  10. Little Black Sambo is a little boy in India. He was chased around the tree by tigers which live in Asia. Okie dokie - maybe in the Zimbabwe Zoo. The English called everyone darker than lily white blacks. Why is Sambo racist for Africans.?
  11. Keith Richards discovered Johnnie Johnson (piano) did not receive songwriting credits and encouraged Johnson to sue. Irreparably damaging the Berry / Johnson relationship. Then there was the backstage punch incident. A young Bruce Springsteen played backup for Berry and said the tuning was way out of whack. Impossible to follow. Two seats on an airplane. One for Chuck, one for the guitar. Cash only, paid in advance before walking onstage. Little wonder he did time for tax evasion. And there was that pervy toilet and transporting underage girl thing.
  12. Austin Police Department Photo: AMERICAN-STATESMAN file photo/Jessalyn Tamez Woman tossed boyfriend’s kitten from balcony after alleged assault, police say July 09, 2018 By Kelsey Bradshaw, American-Statesman Staff Austin police are looking for a woman who told them she threw her boyfriend’s kitten off a balcony because she was mad at him after an alleged assault, according to an arrest affidavit filed Friday. Kyana Deshay Norwood, 22, faces a felony charge of cruelty to non-livestock animals, police said. She was not in custody Monday but upon arrest her bail has been set at $5,000, the affidavit said. A witness told police on June 29 that Norwood threw Ginger, an 8-month-old kitten weighing 4 pounds, off the third-floor balcony of an apartment in the 7600 block of Cameron Road in Northeast Austin, the affidavit said. The kitten — which the Austin Animal Center later determined had a collapsed lung, a fractured jaw and an injured leg after the fall — was “crying like a baby” on the ground, the witness told police in the affidavit. Norwood apologized to the witness, saying “Oh, I’m sorry you saw that,” according to the affidavit. Police had responded to the apartment complex six hours earlier when Norwood had accused her boyfriend of assaulting her, the affidavit said. She later told police the kitten belonged to her boyfriend and his sister. “Norwood stated that she never like the cat and was mad at the boyfriend for the assault and so she threw the cat off the balcony,” the affidavit said.
  13. You stupid fuck. I am talking about DUKWs in other cities. Pay attention or shut the fuck up.
  14. Not driving the pick up close by the baler.
  15. See? You should not have put your backpack on the chair. You could have avoided being beaten the snot out of you. So sorry. Chicago / Tokyo / NYC / Osaka rules.
  16. Complete bullshit artist. Ama. Japan. Stupid fuck.
  17. Urm, sixty years of vacationing. You are a liar. Do not presume to put "facts" in the discussion.
  18. You fucking cunt. I can't stand it when people lie to support an argument. Who said the commercial vehicle was moving? It isn't.
