Its an orthopedic surgery lecture, I have no intention of being a human carpenter, so it's all good.

Glad to hear the educators of america's youth are so actively involved in teaching! No wonder Japan is kicking our ass!

The front gate bell rings at a convent in rural Ireland late one Saturday afternoon and the mother superior is surprised to find two Leprechauns standing at the gate, one smiling ear to ear and the other sheepishly kicking at the ground avoiding eye contact at all cost.

"What can I do for you this evening?" Asks the mother superior
The smiling Leprechaun a strong scent of guiness on his breath asks, "Mother superior, might you be having any midget nuns in here?"

"No, we don't have any midget nuns in here," comes the reply.

"Well then, mother superior, might you be having any really short nuns in here?"
"Why no, I'm 5'7 and I'm the shortest nun here."

"Mother superior, please tell me are there any other nuns in these parts besides livin in your convent?"
"Not at all, outside these walls there isn't another nun for 200 miles."

At this the talkative leprechaun starts laughing uproariously as the shy one buries his face in his hands.

"What's so funny?" the befuddled nun asks.

"ha ha ha Paddy f*cked a penguin!"

Is it wrong that I almost laughed outloud in class when I read this story?

WHAT?
Oh no, that's not wrong. I'm reminded of Larry the Cable Guy's bit about getting hit by a train, deaf or not. It's not like you can't tell where the train is going to go, or if you're off to the side a bit it'll swerve to hit you. How stupid can you be? Even if you're deaf, you'd probably feel the horn.

You know why farts smell, don't you? So deaf people can appreciate them.

Thanks Mongo for the vest effort.

Thanks to all for all the good Irish humor.

Your pal,
Eoin

So the Johnnies have the lead in the Durenberger Cuprace after the winter sports season. Are the spring sports at SJU good enough to hold the lead? I know the Tommies have a baseball powerhouse. What about the other sports? Or in the grand schene of things is this something know one gives a rats ass about?

sumander, given the fact that we did much better in hoops this year, I would be optimistic about the Johnnies winning the Durenberger Trophy. Last year the track team won the outdoor conference meet, something they haven't done for a while. The Tommies are always tough in baseball, as you alluded to. Hopefully the Johnnies can do better in baseball this season and follow the example set by the basketball team.

So how many of you posters have actually been to Ireland? It is a place you have to visit. Hopefully I will be taking my two Irish heirs there sometime soon.

My prayers go out to the Theis family in Shakopee. Jake Theis, who played on the Johnnies' national championship team in `03, lost his brother Nathan this past weekend. He was 20 years old.

Obviously GAC will take the points in the Tennis category, but will that be enough to propel them to 1st?  Only baseball and Outdoor track will tell.

ps, where is the Hamms drinking sport category?

Thrice - a couple of times in the 70s and again 4 years ago.  It seems like yesterday.

Haven't been to the Old Sod, but one March 17th not too long ago I did find myself anchored off the coast of Dominica. We hooked up with a local dude named Cobra O'Brien who took good care of us. He ended up with 6 lard asses in a wooden boat and rowed us upstream in a jungle river using homemade oars. (Shoulda seen Cobra's pipes!) Along the way he'd point out this or that plant, tree or bird, tell us the common name, latin name, and something interesting about it. We ended up at a small dock with a large hut in the middle of a clearing. Yep, you guessed it, a bar! So there we were barefoot in the sand by a jungle river, drinking rum and Guinness with Cobra O'Brien on St. Paddy's Day. His skin was a deep, dark brown and he swore he was Irish.
Cool place and a cool guy. If you ever get a chance, check out Dominica and have a beer with Cobra.

So, a review of the Gluek Brewery tour and Cold Spring Extravaganza...I was drunk by 2pm and don't remember much of the whole day.  I do remember that Gluek makes a Steven Seagal Asian Experience Energy Drink...I'll post a sweet pic of that.   Gluek will be making a Gluek Ice and I talked to the president about it.  I asked him what percentage it will be and he asked what we would like it to be.  I told him if Honey Bock is 5.8%, then if Gluek Ice is anything less than 10% it would be a disappointment.   Oh yeah, Gluek will be coming out with an Old Johnnie Ale in the near future to celebrate SJU's anniversary or something.  I asked the Gluek pres about that as well...turns out he, and the other guy who came up with the idea are Tommies...go figure.

Wow, is he as stupid in person as he seems on TV?
I hope he doesn't mess up the beer as bad as he messed up Iraq.

Well if they were to come up with a Tommie drink, it would have to be some fruity wine cooler thing, and they don't make that in Cold Spring.

Crap! Just leaving work, looks like another stop at Westside is in order.

But on a brighter note, I worked late last night and thought, even though it's a day or two early, I should open up a bottle of Finsleft Eelpout Ale when I got home. Mmmmmmmmmm-mmmm, that is some mighty tasty brew. Think I might have to start working on the next batch. Let me know when you can stop over for a glass.
