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.

This is your 26-day warning on the Holiday party

by @ 15:49. Filed under Miscellaneous.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. Because Uncle Fred doesn’t have one of these, it has been activated here:

This is a test of the Cheddarsphere Holiday party alert system.

Had this been an actual emergency you would have been reminded that this year’s blogger holiday party is slated for Sunday December the 30th starting at noon at Papa’s in Milwaukee at 78th & Burleigh. Had this been a real alert you would have been notified that this non partisan blog party is open to all who care to attend.

If this were a real alert planned events would include, Pin the tail on the Fraley and a 2008 prediction drop. (bring a 2008 prediction for a group posting)

This is only a test.

You may now resume your regularly scheduled blogging.

Had this been an actual Cheddarsphere Holiday party emergency, you would have had Egg dipping rather heavily into the egg nog. Please RSVP over at Fred’s place; comments are off here.

Helpful hint to the Dem Presidential candidates

by @ 4:40. Filed under Politics - National.

To: Biden, Joseph; Clinton, Hillary; Dodd, Christopher; Edwards, John; Gravel, Mike; Kucinich, Dennis; Obama, Barack; Richardson, Bill
Cc: ABC News; CBS News; NBC News; CNN; New York Times; Washington Post; et al
Re: Your Republican opponent

With the abandonment of Tommy “The Other” Thompson’s long-shot campaign, there are currently no Republican candidates, either announced or likely, with any ties to the Bush Administration. Please make a note of it.

(What, you expected Steve to sign this one? He’s too busy laughing at your insistence on riding BDS with a Communistic backup plan to ruin, or that’s just a lack of sleep.)

P.S. With the Republican versions of Zero Personality and Human Gaffe Machine out of the race, you think you could get rid of the Gravel Road and Dennis the Menace?

Open Thread Thursday

by @ 6:11. Filed under Open Thread Thursday.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because Steve’s out decimating the walleye population of Ontario. SEEK SHELTER!

Just because Steve’s out of the country, that doesn’t mean that we can’t have an open thread. It just means that the liquor’s all locked up (or more-likely, all drunk up). Go crazy, but not too crazy, because Godzilla will be storming back in here bright and early (perhaps even this early) Saturday.

The polls are now closed

by @ 20:00. Filed under Politics - Wisconsin.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. Even if Papa’s had a WiFi hotspot and steveegg had a laptop, he wouldn’t be live-blogging the election.

The time is now 8 pm Central Standard Time. If the ‘Rats haven’t conned a judge to let them continue to bus people in from Illinois, the polls are now closed. It’s all over but the counting (and hopefully not the recounting and re-recounting and re-re-recounting like in Washington State in 2004).

PSA from the EBS

by @ 19:00. Filed under Politics - Wisconsin.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. Steveegg is busy working the Casper for Everything Victory Party/November Drinking Right at Papa’s Social Club.

One hour, one hour left in the voting day. If you’re going to vote for the NRE-recommended candidates, do so NOW, then come on down to Papa’s. If not, then in the immortal words of Fighting Bob Anderson, “Tahellwitchoo!”

The polls are now open

by @ 7:00. Filed under Politics - Wisconsin.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because steveegg is already at his polling place and casting his ballot. LOOK OUT BELOW!

For the next 13 hours, the polls will be open in Wisconsin. See below for steveegg’s extended recommendations. To summarize:

Governor/Lt. Governor – Mark Green/Jean Hundertmark
Secretary of State – Sandy Sullivan
State Treasurer – Jack Voight
US Senate – Dave Casper (write-in)
Defense of Marriage Amendment – Yes (that is the ONLY vote that will prevent the Wisconsin State Supreme Court from imposing homosex marriage in the next year)
Death Penalty advisory referrendum – Yes
1st Congressional – Paul Ryan
4th Congressional – Perfecto Rivera
5th Congressional – Jim Sensenbrenner
8th Congressional – John Gard
5th State Senate – Tom Reynolds
7th State Senate – Dimity Grabowski
21st State Senate – Bill McReynolds
21st State Assembly – Mark Honadel (I know, he’s running unopposed, but we don’t want a write-in surprise)
Milwaukee County Sheriff – David Clarke
Milwaukee County District Attorney – Jeff Wagner (write-in)
Oak Creek/Franklin School $28.5 million borrow-spend-tax for another shiny new building – No

The difference between MMSD and the USFS

by @ 8:00. Filed under MMSD - The Crap People.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. This alert is almost over; steveegg should be back to give you live crap in 2 days.

Don’t try drinking straight from the lake at home. By the time this hits the wires, steveegg will have drunk several gallons of unfiltered-yet-clean water straight from the lakes of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (as well as a bunch of hard liquor; he is on vacation after all) with no ill effect. The secret is to find a non-shallow part of the lake well away from shore, currents, and bugs (oh, and not having motors or people dump crap into the lake helps a lot too).

The 5-ring circus known as the 2006 Wisconsin Senate race

by @ 6:00. Filed under Politics - Wisconsin.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. Even though steveegg isn’t here, through the magic of WordPress and a helpful Badger Carnival creator, we have a Carnival post, even if it does suck because it was pumped into the pipeline on a keyboard broken by repeated crashes by a tired forehead.

The Senate race just isn’t getting the attention or respect it deserves. Frankly, it deserves no respect, but it does need some attention. Let’s bring in Michael Buffem….

In the gray corner, weighing in at no accomplishments in 3 terms in the Senate, a man whose idea of campaigning is to buy a spot in the NBA playoffs once every 6 years, Nobody’s Senator, Herb Kohl.

In the red-and-blue corner, weighed down by a sexual abuse allegation that, despite being filed in December, only came to light after nobody else showed up at the “R”PW headquarters to try to carry the RINO banner, the Rodney Dangerfield of Wisconsin politics, Robert “The Lawyer” Lorge.

In the Commie red corner, and the first challenger for Nobody’s Senate seat, knocked down by Madison police for attempting to gather signatures after hours, sponsored by the KOmmies and dope-smokers nationwide, Ben “Potted Plant” Masel.

In the other red corner (Oh, that’s green? I can’t tell the difference), carrying the water of the battiest of the moonbats, Rae Voegler.

Skydiving his way directly into the general election, stupidly refusing to accept the benefits of a straight-party ballot, Ben “Don’t call me the other one” Glatzel.

When the bell rings, the man in charge will be Kevin Kennedy. For the tens in attendance, the hundreds that give a damn, and the millions that will vote anyway, let’s get ready to rrrrrumbllllllllllle!

BBA invades State Fair today

by @ 4:00. Filed under Miscellaneous.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. Official instructions start now.

Come on down to West Allis and the State Fair to meet your favorite bloggers. The fun starts at 12:30 at Benno’s Microbrew Tent, kitty-corner from the Cream Puffs. (Un)fortunately, steveegg won’t be there because Sean scheduled this little shingding a weekend too early.

What draws comments?

by @ 2:00. Filed under The Blog.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because steveegg is out fishing until 9/12. This is not a drill; drills go Black-and-Decker-Black-and-Decker-Black-and-Decker.

It never ceases to amaze me what does and does not draw comments. Let’s take a quick look at a pair of recent posts here on No Runny Eggs. First, we have a post about weather that was in the process of rolling through as it was written Sunday morning. It didn’t even have any cool pics or “here’s the rain” in it (that was still to the north and west as it was posted), but it still drew 4 comments, the last a day after.

Next, we have a semi-humorous take on the upset of the Sausage Racing season. If you’re not a regular reader (which means you probably got here from the L Badger Carnival over on RealDebateWisconsin, it’s stuff that’s usually found on Dennis York’s blog. Despite it being funnier than the average post here (that’s not saying much :-) , it hadn’t received a single comment as of Tuesday evening when this missive was sent out.

‘Tis a good thing I don’t give too much of a flying bomb about stats ;-)
