There are some really well done hilarious parody profiles on MySpace, I'll give it that. I've got one on there that I've put quite a bit of work into, but unless you watch a certain show on MTV you probably wouldn't find it funny. If anyone's interested inbox me.

A rooming house in downtown Waukesha? You have my sympathies.

I don't even have to look to say no they're not. I'd say a good 50% of the profiles on MySpace are fake.

You'll be fine on public transportation. I went to California with my dad and the Blue Line stopped in Watts and Compton and I never felt unsafe.

No, it's not in a bad part of town. And yeah, if you're willing to spend the money I'd say the best way is to drive there and park as close as you can.

Thanks for the help, if anyone has anything else to add, feel free. How long will you be in town? I can expand on what Homer suggested if you're looking for nightclub & restaurants suggestions.

I'll say The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro. Just because it's such a simple yet amazing psychological study.

I just got my Leinie Lodge newsletter in the mail and there's an intriguing recipe for something called- Leinie Chips at Sunset 16-oz can refried beans 15-oz can whole black beans, drained 11-oz can of whole kernel sweet corn, drained 2 (two) 10-oz cans diced tomatoes and green chiles 1/3 cup Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat 1 bag of your favorite large round tortilla chips 1 cup finely shredded cheese 1/2 red onion, finely chopped 1 can green chilies Combine first five ingredients. Place mixture in the middle of a BIG serving platter. Top the mixture with the last four ingredients. Then place the tortilla chips around the mixture.

is there any place fairly close to the ballpark that we can pick up food/beer? Just south of the ballpark- Pick N Save on Miller Park Way. Or, downtown just north of the hotel area= Pick N Save and Metro Market

What a helpless feeling that must have been for the bystander, trying futilely to hoist that much weight up out of the sewer.

In all seriousness, people who behave like the original poster's coworker need to be "policed" by people with a conscience. We're not talking about whistle-blowing a co-worker who took too long of a lunch, or checked their email while at work. We're talking about a guy who obviously has no sense of decency and completely disregards the needs of others. What kind of person parks in a handicap space when they aren't disabled? A jerk. A complete and total jerk. Who always has been a jerk and always will be a jerk. Call and report him, hope he gets a ticket and hope the hit his pocketbook takes changes his attitude a bit. Because I don't think words will do it. I don't know this particular person but I believe that the more you scold him the more defensive and jerkier he'll get IMO.

Man drowns trying to retrieve cell phone A 41-year-old Sheboygan man drowned in about a foot of water today after becoming trapped in a sewer while attempting to retrieve his cell phone. "It was just an everyday event that ended in tragedy," Lt. James Veeser of the Sheboygan Police Department said. According to Veeser, the incident was reported about 12:35 p.m. near the man's home in the 3200 block of N. 12th St. in Sheboygan. When police arrived a bystander was attempting to pull the man from a vertical storm drain. The man weighed more than 300 pounds and was trapped head-first. Witnesses told police that the man was talking on his cell phone and a short time later was seen in the sewer. "He apparently dropped (the phone) into the sewer," Veeser said. "It then appeared he attempted to get the phone out with a rake." The man then apparently lifted the sewer grate and became trapped after losing his balance and falling in. There was approximately a foot of water in the sewer at the time, and when police and firefighters pulled the man out he was not breathing and did not have a pulse. Rescue personnel attempted to resuscitate the man, who was taken to Aurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center and pronounced dead, Veeser said. The man's phone was found at the bottom of the sewer, he said. Sheboygan County Coroner David Leffin ruled the death an accidental drowning. The victim's identity was not released tonight. LINK

Looking forward to getting a full table together on 06/19. Well that's kind of a bummer. I'll be at the game on 6/19. Maybe the time after that.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

If I was being mugged in a crowded street I'd like to think someone would help prevent it instead of hoping the police happened to be in the area at the time. So would I. I'm not sure what that has to do with an illegally parked car though.

I think because there are a bunch of songs on the album that are only a few seconds long. They only sell the whole album. If you do a search for "When in Rome", that song comes up. It's not the 7:57 version that's on the soundtrack though. But you can get just that song.

I read "The Time Traveller's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger last spring and although I'll admit it's very girly, I thought it was really cool. Did it take you awhile to get into it? I started it a couple months ago and then stalled about 1/4 of the way in and have read several other books since. I lent it to my mother in law and she read it and said it was absolutely incredible. I've enjoyed what I've read so far, I just couldn't find a rhythm and it was taking me too long.

Whoever did this has mad Tecmo skills... Awesome! I love how the play took a whole quarter.

a question to think about - what do you say to people who smoke in no-smoking zones? or swear in public? or to co-workers that waste 1-4 hours a day posting on the interent during office/work hours? Do you ignore their behavior? Do you bring it to their attention? Do you inform their supervisor? or do you just accept their behavior as part of our new society? I know you probably meant this to be rhetorical but your questions are sort of vague. It all depends on the situation. People who smoke in no-smoking zones will probably continue to do so whether I speak up or not. It goes back to the original post where the guy was parked in a handicapped spot. The poster said that "he knows better." So why even try to talk sense into him. Go straight to the proper authorties and let them know. And yes I'd probably be a coward if I didn't tell some boor to stop swearing in front of a daycare center when the kids are outside on recess but if I was at a bar I'd probably overlook it. Again, it might make me feel better to speak up but ultimately their behavior isn't going to change. As far as co-workers wasting company resources, that's why there are managers. It's management's job to monitor that stuff. And watch out if you work in a union shop and the union gets wind that you're narc-ing on co-workers. So I guess my point is if it makes you feel better have at it. People always have and will continue to be thoughtless jerks. I don't see this as anything new. And a lot of the times, confronting them is an exercise in futility.

Can anyone give me an approximate value of this pennant? I'm not really interested in getting rid of it, I'm just wondering if it's worth anything. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v288/gypcasino/Yount001.jpg

Anyone catch the recent episode of Penn & Teller's show on Showtime called Handicap Parking? Pretty interesting look at the Americans With Disabilities Act and what a bureaucratic nightmare it is with some people saying the disabled are worse off now than before the Act went into effect.

Wow, what a catastrophe. Still hasn't really hit yet nationally, as far as the www goes anyway. CNN finally has a story up though.

UPDATE: Organ transplant team on plane A plane that crashed into Lake Michigan this afternoon was carrying members of an organ procurement team from the University of Michigan, a university official confirmed this evening. The team was in Milwaukee to harvest organs, said university spokeswoman Krista Hopson. She could not confirm what hospital or what kind of organs were involved in the procurement run and said more information will be released as it becomes available.

I'm listening on the radio and the cheering for Fielder's HR sounded pretty underwhelming. Any guesses on the crowd % yet?

Brian, are you up to 5?
