Hi all the entire way to work I had a riot just listening to the local radio station discuss the so called SUCCESS of this recent Martinifest in at the Milwaukee Art Museam. Let see what the rest of the state would like to say about this event. :lol:

Martinifest leaves art museum shaken and stirred
Booking procedures reviewed after wild rental event; 2 artworks being examined By MARY LOUISE SCHUMACHER mschumacher@journalsentinel.com
Posted: Feb. 27, 2006
The glistening white Santiago Calatrava addition has made the Milwaukee Art Museum one of the city's classiest social addresses. But a recent martini fete held there turned into an overcrowded, drunken affair. Some unruly guests accosted artworks, which have been taken off display for a checkup.
People threw up, passed out, were injured, got into altercations and climbed onto sculptures at Martinifest, a semi- formal event organized by Clear Channel Radio and held at the museum Feb. 11, according to several people who attended or worked at the event.
"Hindsight is 20-20 . . . it was probably too cheap," Kerry Wolfe, a local programming director for Clear Channel, said of the event's premise - unlimited martinis for $30.
Intro paragraphs from the Feb. 28, 2006 editions of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (the rest cut out by 'keith' so we don't get sued by the venerable newspaper monopoly, er, company)
" You might be a redneck if you go to the museum to drink!"

People who act that way in a museum need to be taken to the tip-top point of the Calatrava and forcibly ejected (maybe with a small canon) toward the street, at an angle so they don't bounce off the bridge and disrupt the intelligent people trying to get into or out of the museum.
I really hope they close off any other areas with art for any future rent-outs, or remove the art until after the event. What a disgrace.
OSHKOSH, Wis. - A UW-Oshkosh student is charged with threatening to blow up buildings on campus because she needed more time to finish an assignment.
A criminal complaint says 19-year-old Jennifer Merrigan of Bonduel sent an e-mail to university officials from a campus computer lab.
Investigators used surveillance video to determine who had been using the computer when the threat was sent earlier this week.
Prosecutors say Merrigan thought making the threat would cancel classes and give her time to work on a speech for a communications class.
The charge against Merrigan carries up to three and a-half years
in prison and a $10,000 fine. She's been ordered not to have any contact with campus, except to gather her belongings while under police escort.

I always wanted to somehow back date my work so it would be in ontime.
Well desperate times calls for desperate measures!!!
I am not sure this is true renecks, I might say red in the face ops:
A guy buys a new Lincoln Navigator for $42,500.00 (with monthly payments of $560.00).
He and a friend go duck hunting in upper Wisconsin.
It's mid-winter; and of course all of the lakes are frozen. These two guys go out on the ice with their GUNS, a DOG, and of course the new NAVIGATOR. They decide they want to make a natural looking open water area for the ducks to focus on, something for the decoys to float on. Now making a hole in the ice large enough to invite a passing duck, is going to take a little more power than the average drill auger can produce.
So, out of the back of the new Navigator comes a stick of dynamite with a sh ort 40 second-fuse. Now our two Rocket Scientists, afraid they might slip on the ice while trying to run away after lighting the fuse (and becoming toast, along with the Navigator), decide on the following course of action:
They light the 40 second fuse; then, with a mighty thrust, they throw the stick of dynamite as far away as possible.
Remember a couple of paragraphs back when I mentioned the NAVIGATOR, the GUNS, and the DOG...???
Let's talk about the dog: A highly trained Black Lab used for RETRIEVING; especially things thrown by the owner. You guessed it: the dog takes off across the ice at a high rate of speed and grabs the stick of dynamite, with the burning 40-second fuse, just as it hits the ice.
The two men swallow, blink, start waving their arms and, with veins in their necks swelling to resemble stalks of rhubarb, scream and holler at the dog to stop. The dog, now apparently cheered on by his master, keeps coming.
One hunter panics, grabs the shotgun and shoots the dog. The shotgun is loaded with #8 bird shot, hardly big enough to stop a Black Lab. The dog stops for a moment, slightly confused, then continues on. Another shot, and this time the dog, still standing, becomes really confused and of course terrified, thinks these two geniuses have gone insane. The dog takes off to find cover, UNDER the brand new Navigator.
The men continue to scream as they run. The red hot exhaust pipe on the truck touches the dog's rear end, he yelps, drops the dynamite under the truck and takes off after his master.
The truck is blown to bits and sinks to the bottom of the lake, leaving the two idiots standing there with "I can't believe this just happened" looks on their faces.
The insurance company says that sinking a vehicle in a lake by illegal use of explosives is NOT COVERED by the policy. And he still had yet to make the first of those $560.00 a month payments.
The dog is okay. .doing fine. And you thought Rednecks lived in the South......

THIS IS A TRUE STORY!!!!
This is a very funny story but sad to know it is true.
What astonishes me?
Well that a bank would loan this person $42,000.00. Did they have no character judgment?
Who is his employer that someone that stupid could earn enough money to get a $42,000 .00 loan for a vehicle. An act this stupid is not a once in a lifetime occurrence.
What idiot runs around duck hunting with a dynamite in the back of a $42,000.00 vehicle?
Anyone shooting a dog should be shot!!!!!
and
What insurance company would provide insurance to a person like that?
I must really be stupid that all I can afford is a 1999 Saturn!!!!

‘Jackass’ movie copycat lands in hospital
March 8, 2007
Associated Press
Wisconsin man suffers burns to genitals; second man faces criminal charges
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. - Attempts to duplicate a movie stunt landed one man in the hospital with burned genitals and another facing criminal charges.
The men were trying to do a stunt from one of the “Jackass” movies, in which a character lights his genitals on fire.

I've seen the movie(s). I don't recall anyone on the movie lighting his genitals on fire. So the movie may have "inspired" the two drunks, but they weren't "duplicating" anything. That's why I don't trust the media. They get their facts wrong often. That's also why quoting the media as a "source" usually doesn't impress me.

IDIOT SIGHTING: Gene and I had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a "large" enough motor on the opener. I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears made at that time a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said, "Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower." I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4. He said, "NO, it's not." Four is larger than two. We haven't used Sears repair since.
IDIOT SIGHTING: I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the Deer Crossing sign on our road. The reason: "Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore."
IDIOT SIGHTING: My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She asked the person behind the counter for "minimal lettuce." He said he was sorry, but they only had iceburg.
IDIOT SIGHTING: I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked, "Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge. To which I replied, "If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?" He smiled knowingly and nodded, "That's why we ask."
IDIOT SIGHTING: The stoplight on the corner buzzes when its safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine. She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red. Appalled, she responded, "What on earth are blind people doing driving?!"
IDIOT SIGHTING: At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker. She was leaving the company due to "downsizing." Our manager commented cheerfully, "This is fun. We should do this more often." Not another word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare.
IDIOT SIGHTING: I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself and for the sake of her own life, couldn't understand why her system would not turn on. A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriffs office no less.
IDIOT SIGHTING: When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the drivers side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. "Hey," I announced to the technician,"its open!
His reply, "I know - I already got that side."

....Now, a very great man once said
That some people rob you with a fountain pen
It didn’t take too long to find out
Just what he was talkin’ about
A lot of people don’t have much food on their table
But they got a lot of forks ’n’ knives
And they gotta cut somethin’....

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) - A 41-year-old Sheboygan man drowned Wednesday after getting stuck in a storm sewer trying to retrieve a cell phone, police said.
The man, who police declined to identify pending notification of relatives, weighed more that 300 pounds and was wedged with his head and shoulders underwater in a vertical storm drain in front of his home, said Lt. Tim Eirich of the Sheboygan Police Department.
Neighbor Chris Van Erem said he saw the man kneeling over the sewer before he fell in. Police said the man pulled the iron gate off trying to get the cell phone.
"I didn't know if he had dropped something or what," said Van Erem, who was mowing his lawn at the time. "So I went about my business and moved back to a spot where I was further back in the yard."
Moments later, a child from the neighborhood ran toward Van Erem frantically.
"When I shut off the lawnmower and looked up, I saw the neighbor's feet sticking up out of the grate, and I ran over and tried to pull him on out," Van Erem said. "Absolutely helpless was the feeling. I couldn't budge him."
Van Erem had the child call 911 as he continued to try to free the man, but he was unsuccessful.
"I could see his head and his shoulders were completely under the water," he said. "His legs weren't moving. He was completely unresponsive."
Van Erem said it ultimately took six firefighters to pull the man from the sewer. Sheboygan County Coroner David Leffin ruled the man's death as an accidental drowning.
"Earlier we were talking and someone had called him on his cell phone, so I had gone back to mowing my lawn," he said. "We'd been talking about a promotion at work, an edger he was getting, all sorts of different little things."
Lt. Jeff Johnston said the man's cell phone was later found at the bottom of the sewer.
(17 February 2004, Wisconsin) Just as squirrels bury their acorns to protect them from predators for later use, a man from Howard put his ammunition and three handguns in a safe place before he and his wife departed on vacation. He wanted to be sure they would be there when the couple returned. But just as squirrels frequently forget where they buried a particular acorn, the man forgot that his hiding place was the oven. When they returned from their trip, his wife turned on the oven to prepare dinner. Shortly afterward the couple had to duck behind the refrigerator as the bullets began to explode like popcorn. The husband used a fire extinguisher to put out the fire the bullets started in the oven. No humans were hurt, but the prognosis for the oven was grim.
