It's summer and you want to go outside right now. However, you're stuck in the office. Sadly, I can't get you out of the office, but this should make you laugh and kill about 35 seconds of your day.
When was the last time you washed your clothes while wearing them? Until last Saturday the answer for me would be never. However, that all changed when Lindsay and I stopped into the Foam Party at the Cardinal Bar downtown. I thought it would be fun to try something a little different. Sure dinner and a movie can be fun, but dinner and a trip into a giant washing machine... now that's entertainment!
We knew this would be a rather unusual event when we walked in and noticed the majority of people were wearing bathing suits and most probably turned 21 within the last few months. Despite being in regular clothes we decided to dive right in. Lindsay and I tend to be on the short side on the height scale so within seconds we were completely underneath all the foam. I hope that was her hand I was grabbing. Trying to enjoy a cocktail or two can also be quite a challenge when your mouth is filled with bubbles.
After about a half hour we decided we had enough and we headed to the car. A soaking wet car ride home didn't seem like the best idea. I had a couple of towels in the trunk so we stripped down to our underwear and jumped into the car. Of course, one car did slow down to see what was going on. I said to Lindsay that some guy was checking us out. Honestly, I don't think he was really paying much attention to me.
Will we become regulars at The Cardinal's Foam Party? I'd say no, but it did give me a new appreciation of a nice quiet bubble bath at home.
Okay, I'm not always that big on You Tube videos. A lot of time I think they're much ado about nothing. However, this one is too good to pass up. The next time you're not in the mood to exercise, remember you can get motivated by Man's Best Friend....
Today's Jonathan has a guest writer for his blog. Please welcome Mr. Oinkers who will comment on a new study regarding Pig Slurry.
Greetings Humans!
I'm -snort- Mr. Oinkers -snort- and I'm here to talk about -snort- a new development in the world of swine. As yu know, we've gotten -snort- a rather bad rap the last few months because -snort- of that stupid H1N1 virus! It's been tough -snort- to get any good press these days.
However, there's been -snort- a new development that I wanted to share with -snort- you. A new study says pig slurry -snort- can help fight climate change! That's @#$%-ing right!!! The swine -snort- is back! You can click here to read the entire story.  You don't really need to read -snort- the whole thing. I can give you the -snort- jist of the story.
Here it is: STOP HATING PIGS. Our waste is helping to create electricity! I didn't really -snort- read the story -snort- all the way through myself. Okay, I admit -snort- I only read the headline: Pig Slurry Helps Helps Fight Global Change.
Okay, I admit -snort- I didn't even -snort- know what pig slurry was until I looked it -snort- up because of this article. In fact, I think Pig Slurry -snort- sounds kinda gross, but screw you!! It's better than that stupid Swine Flu any day!
So Kitty made fun of me on the air for buying my mom a purse for Mother's Day. Kitty wondered how I could pick out such a personal gift. I was able to do it with no problem. See for yourself...
Is there anything the boys from U2 can't do? In case you missed it, U2 has managed to create a no-holds barred, full fledged attack on the world with their new album. It' s called No Line on the Horizon and it just came out last week.
To "celebrate" U2 appeared on David Letterman all week as the musical guest. I believe they hung out with Katie Couric too, Bono delivered a few babies at a local New York hosptial, The Edge drove a New York City bus for a few hours, Larry Mullen helped fill pot holes around the city and Adam Clayton worked in a soup kitchen serving the less fortunate. After that was completed, I believe they visited with the Pope, who blessed the new album.
They're not finished yet either. On Tuesday they will be taking over radio stations, including Triple M, at 8pm to play music and help solve the world's problems.
The funny thing, it doesn't really bother me. You'd think that a band that has been around as long as U2 and is as popular as U2 wouldn't really have to do that much promotion for their new album. However, these guys are going at it like their lives depended on it. It could seem potentially annoying, but it's really not.
I admire that these guys are still going at it full force and are still passionate about the music. Let's be honest, U2 could put out an album of Bono reading the alphabet and lots of people would still buy it.
Wyatt Cenac is one of my favorite "reporters" on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. This is not from The Daily Show, but it's still Wyatt and still very funny.
There are times were we all feel small at work. A boss may make you do something stupid or perhaps you have a tiny role in a big project. However, this video should make you feel better. This guy made the most out of his one line on The Sopranos.
Thanks to Star Cinema Steve for passing this masterpiece along to me.
It's Monday. You're tired. You're going to have turkey left-overs for at least another three days. Here's a great mindless video to ease you into the work week. Enjoy!
Today is World Goth Day, a day to celebrate the post-punk, anti-establishment, dark clothes-wearing subculture.
I'm pretty sure I was a Goth for at least for little while, for two reasons.
1) I almost hardly ever wear pastels.
2) I used to...
Hello to all from Nfusion. Another round of challenges has moved beyond us all. Congrats to those of us lucky enough to have survived to this point. Sad to see the others eliminated as they were all very creative and talented. Good Bye to our new friends...
This morning it seemed like just about everyone was in the mood for some Funky Cold Medina...except Kitty. This ridiculous song made it all the way to number 3 in 1989. Jonathan says any song that references advertising dogs from the 80's has got...
Madison's summer music festival season kicks off this weekend with Brat Fest at Willow Island, where there are more bands than you can shake a bratwurst at! Check out the Brat Fest website to plan your itinerary.
Next up is the Marquette...
John Fogerty is making the talk show rounds this week, stopping in to see David Letterman Tuesday and Wednesday, and the ladies of "The View" on Thursday.
He's promoting his new album, "Wrote a Song For Everyone" which comes out next Tuesday...
It's a miracle that both Jonathan and KItty wanted to hear Barry Manilow this morning. They were not alone. Plenty of Fanilow's called in to vote yes. One caller claimed to have seen Manilow in concert 25 times!
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, it is another gorgeous Monday, fit for another great show at the Crystal Corner tonight.
Through locking ourselves in the barn on Irish Lane, tossing some ideas around, as well as a few choice beverages to...
Hey everybody, we were thrown for a loop by the twist this week, but were able to make one of our "oldie but a goldie" songs fit the mold.
We have a few songs that we have played consistently over the years, and we are very happy that we will be...

Lindsay and I tend to be on the short side on the height scale so within seconds we were completely underneath all the foam. I hope that was her hand I was grabbing. Trying to enjoy a cocktail or two can also be quite a challenge when your mouth is filled with bubbles.
