OH yah doncha know? Spring break in 'Sconsin!!! Ayn much better 'n dat 'n so? So all my schoolmates are by da warm places 'n'kay, Florda, Cancun... Well yah, not me y'know. I'm upnort. Yup, too bad it ayn Packer season. I'd get me a brat 'n watch dem guys on da tee-veee.
I flew into Mwalky from Dee-Cee. I sat dere for a while watchin' dem planes take off for LaCrosse and Madison and Central 'Sconsin. Den dey called my plane to GrEEEEn Bay, I walkt out by it in da freezin' cold and blowin' snow and got in 'er. We flew upnort past Mantwoc and Trivers. I waved out da window y'know. My parents met me at da airport. So we drove home on interstate forty-tree at a steady... oh I'd gander 'bout 65 miles an hour. Wasn't much goin' on when we pulled in by Mantwoc 'roun'bout midnight. Its da town dat sleeps y'know. I stepped outta da car and smelt da air... oh dat dairy air. Good ayn'it! I went to bed kinda early. I was tired 'n the next day was my birday...
So I woke up on my Birday 'roun'bout.. oh I'd say two-tirdy. Oh yah, it snowed... Oh I'd say 'bout 4 inches. Juss a dustin' y'know! Not like dem Dee-Cee folks, cripes dey shut everythin' down when dey get dat much! Dad took me to the Piggly Wiggly to get some root beer, cuz dey don't have any sohhhh-dahhh here at da house. Yah-hey, I gots me a gamecube and some books and a sweater. Pretty sweeet haul ayn'it? Yah Sunday I played da gamecube all day, cripes its hard. Monday, well y'know... more gamecube. Tuesday gonna be lots of da same. Wednesdsay I thinkin' I'll go visit da boys in Mwalky after I get my tooth lookt at.
I been to da new sooooper walmart twice. Cri-yiy-yiy!!! Dat place is big! And y'know, they put da disc golf discs way in da corner, as far from da door as dey could. I hate dat place. Next year I tink I'll go Sout for break hey? Well, I gots tah get tah sleep. Yoo's guys have a good day. :)
Peace.

Posted by: Erin on March 12, 2003 01:30 AMduh. you arent supposed to shop at walmart in manitowoc, you are just supposed to walk around there at 2am in the morning aimlessly because besides copps, there is nothing else to do in that town at that time at night.
mmm... the 2am copps run. that was heaven for an entire summer.
oh, mike, you better read this. everyone here is in class untill like around 4pm... ill be out around 3:30, so leaving right after your dentist appointment might not be the best of things, because I have class from 1-3:15.

Posted by: bass on March 12, 2003 02:30 AMAw geez, yous guyz and yer crazy 'Sconsin talkin'... makes me all nastalgic and all da stuff like dat der.
Too bad I spent the weekend in Boston. Now there's some crazy talking...
Posted by: jlb on March 12, 2003 04:23 AMThat "glossary" claims that "budge" is a Wisconsinism. I resent that. Maybe Wisconsinites use it more than other people, but it is in the dictionary and our usage of it is generally correct.
Beyond that, I asked a few friends from the east coast if they had ever heard "budge in line" before they came to Wisconsin and they said that they heard it all the time before they came here.
Talk about incompetence in accurate -ism reporting.
--Dep: correct user of the word 'budge'
P.S.- I have no answer on 'bubbler'. That one's just all messed up.

Ask Google and ye shall receive, the interesting (if true) history of bubblers: http://www.thebubbler.com/history.html
Woo! Kohler!
Posted by: jlb on March 13, 2003 05:38 AMBubblers... That's truly fascinating. This makes asking why a drinking fountain is called a bubber to be much like asking why you call a flying disc a frisbee? Whee. OooOOOooooo only 2 months until discgolf. Ack, also only 2 months until little leaguers start hurling things at my head. Eeeek.
Posted by: mbare on March 14, 2003 04:10 AMThe info on the bubblers will come in handy when the stupid IL people ask me why I call it a bubbler and I have to try and explain it to them...I had the story right too!
Thanks!
