I'm learning more about the Badger State now than when I was a Badger. Oh well, still got the Wisconsin sweatshirt -- +2 to football fandom, but a +4 whopping to saves v. cold.



So Stoughton trailers are Norwegian made?

The Ballard area of Seattle has a big celebration too, but I've never made it down there on the proper day. Mostly because I can't remember which day Syttende is. Gotta be 17th? Or maybe the nearest Saturday to that. :\

Most of native Wisconsinites already have a natural resistence to the cold. The +4 is for all you outsiders!!

Come, come!

Saying that the the chicken dance is no worse than the electric slide or the macarena is akin to various comparing the odor of different piles of excrement

oh no, you're absolutely right, the chicken dance is far more insidious.

at my wedding reception, i OKed my wife to play the cha-cha slide (she insisted), on the provision that there absolutely be no chicken dance, hokey pokey, or macarena.

It's all about innoculation, I tell ya. After years working as a videographer, I'd attended enough weddings and receptions by the time I was 20 to be completely immune to the idiocy and sanity drain of the Chicken Dance.

Now the Macerana et al, those are just sick and wrong.

Except towards DA BEARS!!!
