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.

Open Thread Thursday – vacation edition (6/4/2009)

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because Steve is either face-down drunk in a Canadian cabin after he realized just how much of a screwing this country has taken in his absence from the keyboard or face-down drunk in a Canadian cabin after a successful few days of fishing (or more-likely, both). Since he will still be gone for a couple more days in either case, and because it’s Thursday, it’s time for another round of Open Thread Thursday.

One thing we need is some music, and George Thorogood is appropriate…

You are instructed to continue to enjoy the works of the guest-bloggers. This concludes the EBS portion of this post.

Open Blog Alert

by @ 23:49. Filed under The Blog.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because Steve is headed north of the border for some serious walleye fishing and some serious beer drinking. In his absence, he has lined up a heap of guest-bloggers, both familiar and new, to help Shoebox mind the place for the next week.

The average quality of posts is expected to increase exponentially until Steve returns on the 6th of June (that would be D-Day for the Normandy landings for those of you who know history).

You are instructed to treat the guest-bloggers far better than you treat the owner of this place. This concludes this posting from the Emergency Blogging System.

Second Tuesday of the month alert

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated once again because it is the second Tuesday of the month.

It’s time for the May edition of Drinking Right. Other than the fact that it’s May, all of the particulars remain the same. Drinking Right will be at Papa’s Social Club, 7718 W. Burleigh in Milwaukee at 7 pm. Come on down, drink a few drinks, eat some pizza, and enjoy what is expected to be the last night before the countdown to a “smoke-free” (unless you’re at an Indian casino) Wisconsin officially starts.

For those of you who are “American Idol” fans, Dickie even runs that on the bar TVs, so you can’t use that as an excuse.

This concludes this activation of the Emergency Blogging System.

EBS auto-pilot

by @ 8:02. Filed under Miscellaneous.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because Steve is out of it, and Shoebox is on vacation, and 4 days with nothing is just too long.

First things first, Steve went to yet another Tea Party yesterday, this time a Tea’d Off one in Racine with Fred and close to 300 of his closest friends. They did something a bit different with this one; they made some customized golf balls available (hence the “Tea’d Off”). Somewhere on his “smartphone of dead battery” are a few pictures and video of Fred’s speech.

Next; the Brewers. The EBS is activated for their missing luck, missing pitching, and now missing hitting.

Finally, the “There’s No Way Out of TARP” theme continues. Neil Cavuto stated on yesterday’s show that the Feds aren’t giving up their stock warrants on companies that repaid the TARP. The appropriate exit song…

Filed under Miscellaneous.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because Steve is overtaxed. Drinking Right is tonight at 7 pm over at Papa’s Social Club (7718 W Burleigh in Milwaukee).

You are instructed to be there at the appointed hour.

PSA – set your clocks ahead

by @ 19:04. Filed under Miscellaneous.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because Steve is decompressing from the Defending the American Dream-Wisconsin summit and is running out of time.

For those of you in the US (and not in those parts that don’t observe Daylight Savings), Daylight Savings Time starts at 2 am local time tomorrow. If you have a WordPress blog (whether it is on WordPress.com, a WordPress stand-alone, or WordPress MU – this includes Blogivists and Conservablogs), and you aren’t using UTC, you need to change it to Daylight Savings Time (Central UTC -5, Mountain UTC -6, Eastern UTC -4, Pacific UTC -7, and check your clock for other locales). To do so, go into your wp-admin panel, select "Settings", and under the "General Settings" page that pops up, select the right time zone. Don’t forget to hit "save" when you’re done.

You have been issued official news, instructions and information. For the next just-under-6-hours, this blog will be an hour into the future. This concludes this broadcast of the Emergency Blogging System.

Freezing Blog Drizzle Advisory expired

by @ 21:38. Filed under The Blog.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. The Freezing Blog Drizzle Advisory that had been in effect for No Runny Eggs has been allowed to expire. The steam that steveegg had has run out.

We now return you to your regularily scheduled schedule of posting.

For those of you who still have the Still Spinnin’ blog on your rolls…

by @ 19:57. Filed under The Blog.

…this activation of the Emergency Blogging System is for you. Huckleberry Dumbell reports that the URL for Dan Deibert’s old place has been taken over by a pR0n site.

This concludes this message from the Emergency Blogging System.

Get antifreeze – Drinking Right is tonight

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because Steve is trying to defrost in time for Drinking Right tonight.

That’s right, sports fans. It’s the second Tuesday of the month, so it’s time for another round (or two, or three) of Drinking Right. This is your 12-hour warning to be at Papa’s Social Club, 7718 W. Burleigh in Milwaukee.

This is a blogging emergency. Insufficient levels of antifreeze have been known to cause very bad things to happen. You are instructed to replenish them to a sufficient, yet safe level, along with delicious pizza from Mama’s right next door.

Drinking Right tonight

by @ 10:43. Filed under Miscellaneous.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. Tonight’s Drinking Right is ON! You are instructed to shovel yourself out of however inches of snow you’re under and report to Papa’s Social Club, 7718 W Burleigh in Milwaukee, at 7 pm.

As The Chad says, “It’s better to weather the weather with drinks and friends.”

This has been an Emergency Blogging System alert. Had it been a test, you would have been graded. Hell, if you’re not there and you don’t have a better excuse than the weather, you will receive a FAIL.

PSA – Set your clocks back

by @ 7:18. Filed under Miscellaneous.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because time is always an emergency.

For those of you in the US (and not in those parts that don’t observe Daylight Savings), Daylight Savings Time ended at 2 am local time today. If you have a WordPress blog (whether it is on WordPress.com, a WordPress stand-alone, or WordPress MU – this includes Blogivists and Conservablogs), and you had the time changed for Daylight Savings, you need to change it back to Standard Time (Central UTC -6, Mountain UTC -7, Eastern UTC -5, Pacific UTC -8, and check your clock for other locales). To do so, go into your wp-admin panel, select “Settings”, and under the “General Settings” page that pops up, select the right time zone. Don’t forget to hit “save” when you’re done.

We now return you to your regularily-scheduled lack of posts on Sunday.

Drinking Right – tonight

by @ 6:57. Filed under Miscellaneous.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because the head Moron’s passed out on a lake in Minnesota on vacation.

Drinking Right is tonight; usual time (7 pm), usual place (Papa’s Social Club, 7718 W Burleigh in Milwaukee). Steve wants to come back to news of a new attendance record, and since he won’t be there, that means you should be.

This concludes this message from the Emergency Blogging System.

Egg has left the building

by @ 6:07. Filed under Miscellaneous.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. Please enjoy the writings of Shoebox and the guest-bloggers (Aaron, Fred, Leslie, Patrick, and silent E). Steve will return on 8/15, so try not to leave too much of a mess.

That is all.

Drinking Right – 1 Hour Warning

by @ 18:00. Filed under Miscellaneous.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. This is not a drill; drills go “Black-and-Decker Black-and-Decker Black-and-Decker.”

The July edition of Drinking Right begins in one hour over at Papa’s Social Club, 7718 W. Burleigh in Milwaukee. The usual crew will be there, along with James Wigderson and the lovely Doreen from Waukesha. So, if you’re not one of the lucky 42,000 or so who are headed to Miller Park to watch the debut of CC Sabathia (and if you’re reading this and aren’t in walking distance of the stadium, you’re already too late), head on down. Dickie’s got room for you.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because Blog ‘N Grog over at Neighbor’s Bistro and Pub (260 W Main St in Waukesha – Google Map for those who need help to find their way in) will begin at 7 pm tonight.

Don’t be afraid of Downtown Waukesha; it’s actually easy to get around.

Blog N Grog tonight

by @ 9:55. Filed under Miscellaneous.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because the head Moron is somewhere north of the border hung over catching a harvest of walleye (or is it both?).

For those of you who can navigate Waukesha’s maze of streets, tonight is Blog N Grog night, at Neighbors’ Social Club, 260 W Main St in Waukesha, starting at 7 pm. Since steveegg is out of the country, it will be safe to go :-) Just make sure to hoist a cold one for him; he’ll return the favor with Labatt Maximum Ice.

We now return you to your regularily-scheduled co-blogger and guest bloggers.

Kentucky RepubicRAT wants no anonymous posting

by @ 12:25. Filed under Politics, The Blog.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because some Kentucky dickweed by the name of Rep. Tim Couch doesn’t like anonymous assholes posting shit on the Intertubes. To quote Ace, where we got this pile of horse maure from, “You Stupid Dick.”

This is your 94-hour warning for the March edition of Drinking Right

by @ 20:56. Filed under Miscellaneous.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. Old dumbshit Egg failed to activate it at 7 pm to make the warning 96 hours, but this is not a test.

The March edition of Drinking Right will be at the usual place on the usual date at the usual time. For those not familiar with that, we drink at Papa’s Social Club (7718 W Burleigh in Milwaukee) on the second Tuesday of the month unless otherwise rescheduled (this month, that’s March 11) at 7 pm.

Be there, or be nowhere.

This concludes this activation of the Emergency Blogging System.

Drinking Right – your 24-hour warning

by @ 19:00. Filed under Miscellaneous.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated in response to Fred’s activation of the Drinking Right Preferential Tuesday Alert System. This is not a drill (they go Black-and-Decker-Black-and-Decker-Black-and-Decker), nor is this a test (no grades will be handed out).

Drinking Right will not be held the second Tuesday of the month (as usual), Drinking Right will be held tomorrow, the 5th of February at Papa’s Social Club.

See you there.

In addition, unless Patrick, Shoebox, or Leslie want to liveblog Super-Duper Fat Tuesday, there will be no liveblog of that here. Your crazy humble blog host will have details on who is live-blogging tomorrow (Fred and Steve will be too busy drinking, Aaron will be too busy in Ohio). This concludes this activation of the Emergency Blogging System.

by @ 13:09. Filed under Miscellaneous.

Revisions/extensions (12:05 pm 12/27/2007 – steveegg) – That’s the last time I let the EBS do the math.

The Cheddarsphere Holiday Party begins at high noon, December 30, 2007, at Papa’s Social Club. Head over to Real Debate Wisconsin to RSVP and more details.

We now return you to your regularily-scheduled blogging.

Which is worse?

  • Snow-covered ice (81%, 22 Vote(s))
