Freakshow

Something while I am preoccupied with the Cubs and the H-Ball

A blind man wanders into an all girls biker bar by mistake.

He finds his way to a bar stool and orders some coffee. After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, "Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke."

The bar immediately falls silent. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, "Before you tell that joke sir, think it is only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things:

1. The bouncer is a blonder girl.
2. The owner is a blonde girl with a baseball bat.
3. The lady to your right is blonde and happens to be a professional wrestler
4. The woman next to me is blonde and a professional weightlifter.
5. I'm a 6ft. 175lb. blonde woman with a black belt in karate.

Now, think about it seriously mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?"


The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head, and mutters:

"No... not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times."

ZING!

More than meets the eye...

These guys know what they are doing.

Where's our Balls?

The Piano Man that's where. Unfortunately Scott's choice (Bermuda) and Tim's choice (Denver) were overruled in favor of a more local venue.

The Halloweiners' advanced scouting team went on a recon mission on Saturday to scope out some venues and were mighty impressed by what they found. Here are some highlights:

1. They have special jaeger bomb glasses with a built in shot glass in the center and a red-bull substitute on tap.

2. After buying only three rounds, the bartender, Mischka, insisted that the scouting team allow her to buy them another round.

3. 2 sweet party rooms with our own separate bar and space for a band. (The band we wanted is booked so if anyone knows of a sweet cheap cover band let me know).

4. It may be haunted so it is perfect for a Halloween party

5. No screwing with a bar package, just cheap drinks.

6. An excellent beer garden

7. An owner who insisted that we would still get the private party room even though game six of the world series is scheduled for that day and it will likely feature the Cubs at home a mere 2 blocks away.

All other choices couldn't compare after the successful results of this mission. The 6th Annual Halloweiners' Ball is on so be there or be square. More details and an evite are forthcoming.

Halloweiners' Ball

Ok, we really need a venue for the Ball and I would like to get it booked this week or next if possible. For now, I think we should just book a good bar and then if we change our minds we can go from there. I'm looking for ideas for a bar with a good private room, so what have you got?

I also thought maybe we could rent a space and throw the party there. Just roll in some kegs, tell people to bring booze just like in the Rac and do it up right, but I haven't come up with anything yet. I even put a post on craigslist looking for a party venue. Nothing yet from the post, but we will see.

The date is set for Saturday, October 27th so mark you calendars, and keep em clear. More details to come.

You on the motorcycle... You two girls... tell your friends.

More Jellyfish, more Cubs

Jelly Watch '07: Here's a new game we are playing called "Where's Jelly?". Look in the picture below and see if you can locate our now famous friend. If you want to see the actual picture in print it is on pg 27 of today's Red-Eye.Cubs Watch: No recap or how worried I am because I am no longer worried, I am content that they will do this the rest of the season and there is nothing I can do about it so screw it lets have some fun. This is a link to 5 videos of Bill Murray filling in for Harry Caray during the '87 season when Harry was out with a stroke. Great stuff and a lot of fun to watch.
