Search Continues for Jimmy the Stick

Posted on 7:30 AM by Unknown
15 to 18 years ago or less it was decided that a stick was as aware of his shadow as a groundhog. Thus, Jimmy the Stick was put into action and for 15 to 18 (or less) straight years Jimmy has been forecasting the coming of spring.

He has almost been held by the Madison Air National Guard (they turned down the invitation at the last second and got haircuts instead) and has been to Las Vegas (where he was forgotten about and stayed in the trunk the entire trip).

This year he was going spend the night outside in the blizzard and was sheltered near the house.

HOWEVER - upon further research perhaps this was not the best place as there happened to be a 5 foot drift where Jimmy was hanging out.

Jimmy has not been seen.

The search continues in this rescue operation as Plan B goes into effect! A hole will be cut vertically into the drift. Plan A was the first course of action which involved melting the drift but then it was discovered that Jimmy, being a 15 to 18 (or younger) stick might not survive the flame.

More as it transpires.

BUT - The Show must go on. We enlisted the services of Ralph the Birch for one year to fill in for the buired Jimmy!

Ralph says  EARLY SPRING


 In football news.

Who is the best #4 in Sports History?  The votes are in and the winner is . . Lou Gehrig with Favre 2nd and Bobby Orr third.

The most popular beer for Green Bay Packer fans?  Bud Light!


The most popular beer for Pittsburgh Steeler fans? Stella Artois (isn't that like a girlie beer?)

If you are into wagering at Bodog here is one of the things you can bet on -

How long will it take Christina Aguilera to sing the national anthem,  OVER or UNDER 1 minute and 50 seconds!

Typically in a football game picking the winner will also cover the spread 60% of the time, but in the Super Bowl that goes up to 85%. Pick the winner and 85% of the time you will cover the spread (which is -3 in favor of the Packers).   Six times the winner has lost to the spread and the Steelers have been in three of those.

And finally , this is an amazingly cute VW Superbowl ad.
