Fun on the Web June 30, 2011 Eat Local

Here is a nifty tool for finding local produce in season and farmer's market. I love the Farmers Market! Ours is during the week mid afternoon to evening with freshly cooked food as an option too. We get spring rolls and crab rangoon, as well as, the usual grilled burgers and brats for options. Lately they have had iced lattee and pizza trucks too!

So while you are at our Farmers Market check out the jewelry across the street and down the block at the Rose Gallery.

If you live far away, our town is amazing and offers Fun in the Sun at this time of year. Lake Mills is built near an ancient pyramid in Rock Lake so many consider it to have good vibes. I think it has Victorian charm, cute shops, a nice beach, AND good vibes. The 47 mile Glacial Drumlin Trail offers recreation for hikers and bikers alike on the south end of town.

Come on down and visit. Just drive 1 mile south from the exit on Hwy 94 and you will be in the heart of our town. This website shows coming events:

A man went into the pet shop, "I am playing Long John Silver
in the local amateur dramatic societies version of Treasure
Island and need a parrot to sit on my shoulder," he said.

"I don't have any parrots at the moment, but you wouldn't
want a real parrot for that. It would squawk in all the
wrong places, poop on your shoulder and generally be a
nuisance. What you need is a stuffed parrot. Just as
realistic and easily controlled."

"I'm not sure a stuffed parrot would be okay," said the
customer. "I do want this performance to be as realistic
as possible."

"I am sure a stuffed parrot would be fine," said the pet
shop owner. "I have one at home. I'll bring it in and if
you come back on Thursday you can have it."

"Sorry," said the customer, "I can't make it on Thursday.
That's the day I'm having my leg cut off."

In one of my classes, they were discussing the qualifications to be president of the United States. It was pretty simple - the candidate must be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age. However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair was the requirement to be a natural born citizen.

In short, her opinion was that this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president. The class was just taking it in and letting her rant, but everyone's jaw hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by saying, "What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by C-section?"

******************************************

My wife-to-be and I were at the county clerk's office to get
our marriage license. After recording the vital information;
names, dates of birth, etc. the clerk handed me our license
and deadpanned, "No refunds, no exchanges, no warranties."

Changing Signs ~~ Phil Tripp

A favorite beach restaurant of ours has a simple way of advertising its hours. During the day, the window panes sport large letters spelling "Open."

After hours, the "N" is moved forward to spell "Nope."

******************************************

As I Mature

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you.
All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and
give in.

I've learned that no matter how much I care,
some people are just assholes.

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust,
and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.

I've learned that you can keep vomiting,
long after you think you're finished.

I've learned that we are responsible for what we do,
unless we are celebrities.

I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a
relationship is at first, the passion fades, and there
had better be a lot of money to take its place!

I've learned that 99% of the time when something isn't
working in your house, one of your kids did it.

I've learned that the people you care most about
in life are taken from you too soon,
and all the less important ones just never go away.

"A TSA screener in Kansas City is facing criticism for giving

Fresh from a visit to the dentist, I decided to stop at my bank. Barely able to enunciate, I told the teller, "I'm sorry about not speaking more clearly. I've had Novocaine."

"You should have used the drive-through," she said.

"Why?"

"Everyone who goes through sounds like that," she explained.

What That Tattoo Really Says ~~ Darren Addy

If truth-in-advertising laws governed your tattoos, here's what the ink would actually say:

Still in my rebellious rite-of-passage phase.

I anticipate always feeling as whimsical as I was when I chose this.

Thinking-ahead deficient.

Personal names on my body are not necessarily indicative of my relationship with that person when you read this.

I regretted this one almost immediately.

It may be wrong to assume that I know what this symbol represents.

Actively taking a role in reducing the number of potential places that might employ me.

******************************************

When I asked my friend if she was planning to attend church,
she just shook her head. "I haven't gone in a long time,"
she said. "Besides, it's too late for me. I've probably
already broken all seven commandments."

Fun on the Web June 3, 2011 Free Music

Free music in and around Milwaukee
http://freemusicmilwaukee.com/About.html

******************************************

Our Gen-X daughter, Cristie, made my husband a Father's Day card entitled "Things My Dad Would Never Say." Such as:

"Can you turn up that music?"

"Go ahead and take my truck. Here's 50 bucks for gas."

"I LOVE your tattoo. We should both get new ones."

"Here, you take the remote."

******************************************

As a customer service representative for a book publisher, I frequently received inquiries about the books put out by the company. I'd use my computer to search for the title, which was displayed on the screen with a list of related material for suggested reading. A customer once phoned and asked whether we published A Raisin in the Sun. When my computer concluded its search, I started to chuckle. Under "other suggested reading" was listed The Grapes of Wrath.

******************************************

A customer called our service line demanding help with her TV set, which wouldn’t come on.

"I’m sorry, but we can’t send a technician out today due to the blizzard," I told her.

Unsatisfied, she barked, "I need my TV fixed today! What else am I supposed to do while the power is out?!"

******************************************

Trying to explain to our five-year-old daughter how much computers had changed, my husband pointed to our brand-new personal computer and told her that when he was in college, a computer with the same amount of power would have been the size of a house.

Wide-eyed, our daughter asked, “How big was the mouse?”

"Food addicts are the people I feel sorriest for because
that's really hard. You need to eat. You don't need to do
drugs. Very hard for these people to quit. "I'm going cold
turkey... mmmmm turkey. Do not think about food... do not

"Subway sandwich shops are testing out several upscale restaurants called Subway Cafes. They feature wood paneling, lounge seating, and other things to distract you from the tuna fish being served with an ice-cream scoop." -Jimmy Fallon

******************************************

How unfortunate for Weight Watchers. The sign for its branch in a Roanoke, Virginia, mall sits above the sign for a tie-dye shop. The name of that store? A Little Bit Hippy.

******************************************

Long lines were supposed to be a thing of the past once our neighborhood supermarket installed a self-serve checkout counter. Customers easily figured it out -- except for the woman at the front of my line. In its irritating computer-generated voice, the machine kept reminding her to take one item after another out of the scanning zone before she could check the next. There was a constant "Move ... your ... produce" and "Move ... your ... milk" and so on. Everyone in the growing line was getting restless, but even we had to laugh when she left a bag of dinner rolls on the scanner and the machine commanded, "Move ... your ... buns."

A couple was delighted when finally their long wait to adopt a baby came to an end. The adoption centre called and told them they had a wonderful Japanese baby boy, and the couple took him without hesitation.
On the way home from the adoption centre, they stopped by the local college so they each could enroll in night courses. After they filled out the form, the registration clerk inquired, "Whatever possessed you to study Japanese?"

The couple said proudly, "We just adopted a Japanese baby and in a year or so he'll start to talk. We just want to be able to understand him"

by going around the room asking where all the guests were
from. "Burnt Mattress, Arkansas," called out the friend
sitting next to me.

"Burnt Mattress!" said the instructor, suppressing a laugh.
"I've heard some unusual town names before, but never that
one. Where's it located?"

My friend shot back, "Right above Hot Springs."

A couple was having some trouble, so they did the right thing and went to a marriage counsellor. After a few visits, and a lot of questioning and listening, the counsellor said that he had discovered the main problem.

He stood up, went over to the woman, asked her to stand, and gave her a hug. He looked at the man and said, "This is what your wife needs, at least once a day!"

The man frowned, thought for a moment, then said, "Ok, what time do you want me to bring her back tomorrow?"
