No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Hooray Patti, America’s Favorite Mom

by @ 20:39. Filed under Miscellaneous.

I missed “America’s Favorite Mom”, but Kat didn’t, and she delivers the good news, and the better news. The $250,000 that Patti Bader-Patton won for being America’s Favorite Mom is going to Soldiers’ Angels.

Slight change in the Teatotaler lineup

Now playing the part of The Wisconsin Sports Bar, Fire Ned Yost Now. Good call on the name change, Chris. Hopefully Melvin will figure out who to replace Yost with before we get too far into the Yost hole.

Call me a late-adopter

Just in case you didn’t notice that little item on the right sidebar, I’m probably one of the last bloggers on the planet to jump into the Twitter pool. Don’t expect a lot of stuff there, but why not give it a shot (I would’ve added “and a beer”, but it’s too early).

Eggs on the road – week of 5/11

by @ 7:47. Filed under Miscellaneous.

I’m going on vacation at the end of the month, but first I’ve got some wanderlust to take care of :-)

– Tuesday, 5/13: Drinking Right, Papa’s Social Club, 7718 W Burleigh in Milwaukee, 7 pm
– Thursday, 5/15: Day trip to St. Louis for a ballgame at New Busch Stadium and dinner at Favazza’s (see, I’m combining my trips)
– Friday, 5/16 – Saturday, 5/17 (tentative) – Wisconsin GOP convention in Stevens Point for a liveblog

Oh, that question on the sidebar is for the national GOP convention. Stevens Point is close enough for me to drive back home Friday night.
