Hamms the beer refreshing

Hamm’s
Fizzy facts: The Hamm’s Beer Bear, the brewery’s longtime mascot, was named Sascha, after the wife of Hamm’s cofounder A.F. Kellar. Once the pride of Minnesota, today Hamm’s is part of the SABMiller portfolio, with limited distribution outside of the Midwest.

Flavor Overly sweet and malty, like tupelo honey.

Belch barometer Loud and wet-sounding, like a cow chewing cud.

Hangover factor Like the “sky-blue water” that used to go into this beer, Hamm’s leaves you with little to no hangover, even after drinking a 12-pack.

Damn, I wish I had thought of that

ALBERT LEA, Minn. – Nothing says "I love you" like a half-mile-wide heart made out of manure.

A southern Minnesota man created the Valentine’s Day gift for his wife of 37 years in their farm field about 12 miles southwest of Albert Lea.

Bruce Andersland told the Alberta Lea Tribune that he started the project with his tractor and manure spreader Wednesday and finished Thursday.

Some Minnesota facts

Minnesota became the 32nd state on May 11th, 1858 and was originally settled by a lost tribe of Norwegians seeking refuge from the searing heat of Wisconsin’s winters.

Minnesota gets it’s name from the Sioux Indian word "Mah-nee-soo-tah", meaning "No, really, they eat fish soaked in lye".

The state song of Minnesota is "Someday the Vikings Will… Aw, Nevermind"

The Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota covers 9.5 million square feet and has enough space to hold 185,000 idiot teenagers yapping away on cell phones.

Madison, Minnesota is known as "The Lutefisk Capital of the World". Avoid this city at all costs.

"The Mary Tyler Moore Show" was set in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and was Mary’s first real acting job since leaving the "Dick Van Dyke Show". The show – about a single woman’s struggle to find happiness in the big city – was originally titled "Life Without Dick", but that was changed for some reason.

The state motto of Minnesota is, "Where even a man who wears a feather boa can grow up to be Governor."

Cartoonist Charles M. Shultz was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and was the only artist to accurately depict the perfectly circular heads of Minnesota natives.

The Hormel company of Austin, Minnesota produces 6 million cans of spam a year, even though no one actually eats that crap.

The first water skis were invented in Lake City, Minnesota by Ralph Samuelson in 1922. Sadly, he drowned shortly afterwards, as the motorboat hadn’t been invented yet.

St. Paul, Minnesota was originally named "Pig’s Eye", after French Canadian whiskey trader Pierre "Pig’s Eye" Parrant. Its "twin city", Minneapolis, was known as "Pig’s Colon".

The stapler was invented in Swingline, Minnesota by a chubby, mumbling man named Milton in 1999. The city was mysteriously destroyed by fire later that year.

In 1973, Olivia, Minnesota erected a 25-foot tall fiberglass corn cob to celebrate its rich, agricultural heritage. In 1974, it was eaten by a 50-foot statue of Babe the Blue Ox.

Yeah, Minnesota has a LOT of problems with statue cannibalism.

Minnesota licensce plates are blue & white and contain the phrase "Blizzards on Independence Day – You Get Used To It."

Frank C. Mars, founder of the Mars Candy Co. was born in Newport, Minnesota. His 3 Musketeers candy bar originally contained three bars in one wrapper, each filled with a different flavor nougat – chocolate, spam, and lutefisk.

The first fully automatic pop-up toaster was invented in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1926, Minnesota’s stringent bread-control laws currently only allow residents to own semi-automatic toasters.

Much like the "Lutefisk Diet".

The snowmobile was invented in Roseau, Minnesota so as to allow families a means of attending Independence Day picnics.

Hookers in Minnesota are easy to spot. They’re the ones wearing crotchless parkas.

Minnesotans are almost indistinguishable from Wisconsinites. The only way to tell them apart is to ask if they voted for Mondale in ’84.

Minnesota nice

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Organizers of the Twin Cities Marathon said they won’t disqualify an 81-year-old runner who won his age group after using a borrowed catheter. Jerry Johncock of Shelbyville, Mich., was sidelined at an aid station about 21 miles into Sunday’s race because a blood clot prevented him from urinating. The aid station had no catheter, but a spectator stepped forward to offer Johncock a catheter he had in his car.

Aides helped insert the catheter and Johncock went on to finish in a little over 5 hours 22 minutes.

Minnesota cannibalism

An intoxicated woman horrified diners at a St. Paul, Minn. restaurant as she ripped part of a man’s ear off with her teeth, spit it out, then picked it up and put it back into her mouth before leaving. Susan Mukuhi Mwarabu, 30, was arrested on third-degree assault — inflicting substantial bodily harm — 4 a.m. after the bizarre attack on Monday at the Uptowner restaurant.

According to a criminal complaint, Mwarabu–a sixth grade reading and language teacher–was allegedly drunk and eating with a group of three other women at a table. The victim, a 33-year-old male was with a group of friends at another table. One of his friends made a comment about one of the women at Mwarabu’s table eating french fries. That’s when Mwarabu approached the man and “leaned down, licked his face and appeared as if she was going to throw up.” The man pushed her away. She then approached the victim and licked his ear, but when he pushed her away she leaned in and bit part of his ear off.

“He was in shock,” and bleeding a friend of the victim said in the complaint. An employee then told the women to leave, but a witness says as Mwarabu left the restaurant she picked the missing piece of the ear off the floor and put it back in her mouth.

What’s happening in Minnesota?

Joseph was born at 12:20 a.m. May 19 in a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt that was going about 70 mph from Bagley to North Country Regional Hospital in Bemidji. His mother was driving the vehicle since his father, Joseph Phillips, is unable to drive due to seizures. McBride had Phillips steer the vehicle while she delivered the newborn and then turned on the heat and kept the baby warm until Phillips steered them to the emergency room.

Rules of Minnesota

Rules of Minnesota

Here’s to all of us who live in Minnesota , some born and raised here. Some got here as fast as they could and others who would like to be from Minnesota . This is the best version of this that I have seen.

Rules of Minnesota :

1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.

2. Let’s get this straight; it’s called a "gravel road." I drive a Pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you’re going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.

3. You say our lakes smell to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it.

4. So you have a $60,000 car. We’re impressed. We have $250,000 combines that are driven only 3 times a year.

5. So every person in every pickup waves. Its called being friendly. try to understand the concept.

6. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of ducks are coming in; we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don’t have it up to your ear at the time.

7. Yeah, we eat walleye & northern pike and love it. You really want sushi & caviar? It’s available at the corner bait shop.

8. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It’s a Religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.

9. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of age.

10. No, there’s no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the Chef’s Salad and pick off the pound of ham & turkey.

11. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: Onion, Pepper, and Garlic!

12. College and High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a hell of a lot more fun to watch.

13. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don’t hit the water hazards –it spooks the fish.

14. Colleges? Try St. Olaf, Concordia, or St. John’s . They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at passing pickups when they come home for the holidays.

15. We have more folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines, than any other state, so "Don’t screw with Minnesota ." If you do, you will get whipped by the best."

High scool hangout

I Just had to tag on to Far Sides Blog today. I had mentioned Schmiders before in past blogs. It’s a place where a lot of memories live. There are those paintings that depict a place and then painted in are ghostly figures. Schmiders is like that for me. ?
I paid the place a visit last summer with two high school classmates. They argued with the new owners over the price of coke and had to proclaim they were the sole purpose the building was even there.

I made it

I’m not sure how I did it. I recall thinking it was one of those things other people did but never thought I would. So many times I figured I had better get my poop in a scoop and make an attempt but there were other things to do and I always put it off. Besides that I had good excuses to maintain the course I was on even when that course took me 180 degrees in the wrong direction.

But today I turned 60. By all rights I don’t think I should be here. That heart attack at the age of 45 was a bad sign. I won’t go through all the other stop signs I ignored. I have said this before and today it needs to be repeated. Somewhere there is a guardian angle who is going to beat the crap out of me when I die .
