Big week for Fremonteer readers

Congratulations to Eric & Tricia!!!

In the most astounding news of the day, Pushpop and Tricia got engaged in the Dominican Republic on Wednesday. They have been there since Tuesday night. I don't think anyone even knew that they were gone. That push pop is a sly guy.

He will be back some time so the next time you see him be sure to tell him congratulations or give him your condolences, depending on your point of view of course.

I guess now we have another bachelor party to plan.

Congratulations to Matt & Lindsey!!!

Manderson and Lindsey welcomed a yet to be named 7lbs 8 oz baby girl into the world yesterday morning at 11:30am. No jokes here, just congratulations!

Alright, I am going to go throw up now over the fact that I have friends who got engaged and had a baby in the same week.

Yay god.

John Stamos scares me!!!

It has taken me a year to finally put something on here, but I figured this is disturbing enough to share.

One question, how did Rebecca Romijn deal with this?

Game On...

Malort Malort Malort

I found our new shot...and it is called Malort.

I was flipping through the channels on my AM dial this morning because I am a nerd and I like talk radio and when I stopped on 720am they were talking about this strange bitter tasting liquor they have never heard of. People were calling in and telling all the horrible experiences thay have had with it. I believe the term vile was used heavily.

This is what they put on the bottle label according to wikipedia:

"Most first-time drinkers of Jeppson Malort reject our liquor. Its strong, sharp taste is not for everyone. Our liquor is rugged and unrelenting (even brutal) to the palate. During almost 60 years of American distribution, we found only 1 out of 49 men will drink Jeppson Malort. During the lifetime of our founder, Carl Jeppson was apt to say, 'My Malort is produced for that unique group of drinkers who disdain light flavor or neutral spirits.'

It is not possible to forget our two-fisted liquor. The taste just lingers and lasts - seemingly forever. The first shot is hard to swallow! PERSERVERE [sic]. Make it past two 'shock-glasses' and with the third you could be ours...forever"

Sounds like fun.

Weekend update: Went to houndstooth. Got shitfaced. Suprise, suprise. Houndstooth does not carry Malort by the way.

Old Balls

As we get older, so does the Fremonteer. That's right, we've recently passed the one-year anniversary of www.fremonteers.blogspot.com. Who knew this would turn into such a raging empire. I remember back when Kirk and I started this thing out of his garage using a beat-up old Commodore and some nudie mags. Just a couple of crazy kids with nothing but a dream, and some tasteless humor.

Fast forward to May, 2007. Not much has changed. The Fremonteer keeps chugging along at an average of 20 unique visitors/day (slightly inflated for advertiser appeal). Posts have ranged from your basic YouTube videos, weekend highlights, or birthday shout-outs (or toss-ups, whatever you're into). The Fremonteer was even mentioned in a recent edition of the Chicago Tribune 'Life' section (that's a total lie).

But let us not forgot the true inspiration behind this ridiculous documentation of our spontaneous lifestyle....Fremont WI. That's right, the title of this blog is no coincidence to the beauty that sits next to the Wolf River and our neighbors to the north. A place that dreams of 2lb Burgers, Drunk townees in a floating dumpster throwing bottle rockets at each other, Lions, Roller coasters, and love. All living in blissful harmony. A place that welcomes smart-ass, nickname giving city kids every 4th of July. I'm pretty sure our ancestors would giggle at the thought of us spending every 4th of July with a bunch of Canadians, and 13 cases of Natural Light.

Anyway...I'm rambling.

Let's take a quick look back over the past year at some of our most-humorous post that have graced the cover of the Fremonteer:

Fremonteer: Fremont Edition

The consensus seems to be that the weekend after the 4th will be the best weekend for Fremont. I'm sorry if you can;t make it, but from what I heard, this is the best weekend. If you can't make it, change your plans. I'm talking to you Skittles. Hot Chocolate should go ahead and book as many cabins as we can get for Friday and Saturday night that weekend. Who is in?

The old ball and chain and I are going to see The Police at Wrigley on Thursday the 5th so we will be taking off Friday and heading up then. Is anyone planning on buying a a speed boat to drive up there because that would be sweet. I'm in for at least a buck or two. We should also consider buying various inflatables and other fun items.

On other update fronts, apparently we missed our chanse on the Red Snapper. I can't believe we blew such a primo opportunity. Actually, judging by the condition of the place I'm guessing it was knocked down and something else has arisen in its place...hopefully a bar. No matter, I still think we should have bought it regardless how crappy it may have been. I can't wait to see it.

Non Fremont News

Did you hear about these loonies getting in a fight at the smyphony. Even better here is a video of these idiots. Check out the guy sitting across the aisle pretending like nothing is happening. Perfect response.

Call Me

New thing these crazy kids are doing these days. Talking on the phone. And who are they talking to? One of the several thousand people that are calling them back in response to their YouTube posts that included their own cell #.

11,959 calls, over 1,000,000 views


This guy got over 5,000 calls, over 200,000 views

Sports Gal

This is a link to the Sports Gal's Page, a bunch of short columns about girl stuff like US weekly and "The Devil Wears Prada" for all you ladies out there.

This will be particularly helpful to those of you who are dating someone who reads the Sports Guy' columns. I'm mostly talking to you Skittles (not Matt St. Skittles, Fremont Skittles).

For those of you who are neither Skittles nor a lady there is some good random stuff in there to waste your time with as well.
