Smoking in bars and restaurants. in Current Events JoeUser Forums

The recent debate in local newspapers and radio in the Twin Cities has to do with a smoking ban in bars and restaurants. Hennepin County (where Minneapolis is located) currently has a ban on smoking in all bars and restaurants. Bar owners and pulltab-dependent charities have cried foul, as bar patrons have given up Hennepin County bars and restaurants in favor of those in neighboring counties without such restrictions. (Bars in cities bordering other counties are claiming

The old ones on Boomerang are popular at my house. Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Tom & Jerry, and Popeye. My son is just nuts about Popeye recently!

Yesterday we went to great-grandma's for a little birthday party. Kenny is two now. Yay! Momma made dinosaur cookies for him. He didn't want to eat them. Only play.

Japanese food for lunch in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Since my in-laws are in town, and my wife is having a baby tomorrow, my family decided to go out to celebrate. We drove to a restaurant in downtown Saint Paul named Sakura . Sakura is a Japanese restaurant. It was yummy. We had tempura, fried fish, sushi, sashimi, and a few appetizers. Japanese food is Kenny's favorite. <IMG style="WIDTH: 315px; HEIGHT: 221px" height=296 alt="" hspace=0 src="http://www.geocities.com/chipperprime/sakur

I would have liked to see the winning team "punt" whenever they got the ball. That may have been humorous.

The third party movements that we have tend to crank out ultra conservatives, very liberal liberals, or Republicans dressed up as "Independents".

I thought that you were referring to Nicole Brown Simpson. And then I thought: wait! She was the one who died, not the one who testified in court. I guess I was wrong...

Reply to White Sox Buy Out Thomas' Contract in Sports & Leisure JoeUser Forums

Be careful what you wish for. That guy somehow has the ability to bring a team down. As a Twins fan, I was looking forward to Thomas returning to the lineup last season. I figured that the Sox would crash back to Earth once he got back in there. (I was a little wrong with that one...) Ozzie Guillen and his staff were somehow able to curb his influence once Thomas came back.

High school basketball team loses 112-2 in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I am just listening to the Jerry Springer show on the radio. One of his topics of discussion today was a recent high school basketball game in Oklahoma. The newsworthy event of the game was that the Earlsboro HS team beat the Hanna HS team by the score of 112-2 Ouch! Here is a link from MSNBC. The discussion on the radio has to do with how the Earlsboro coach could have prevented his team from running up the sc

We have a baby coming in a week. in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Next Friday, we will have another baby boy. Our oldest son is pretty interested in the baby stuff that we're setting up again. He wants to be a baby in the crib. Today a package arrived from Japan. Grandma and Grandpa sent a bunch of stuffed Anpanman dolls. Kenny was too busy watching Anpanman on TV

Not so cold. At least 10-15 degrees above freezing. I was burning up inside of my jacket!

Our Halloween in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

This Halloween was our son's first time out Trick or Treating. He went around the neighborhood with daddy for a while, and then he went out with mommy. He liked putting the candy in his bag by himself (but he didn't like holding the bag!) He enjoyed knocking on doors and saying "bye bye", but he didn't like seeing kids dressed in the "Scream" costume. Cute. Kenny got to ride in the wheelbarrow around the neighborhood. <IMG style="WIDTH: 354px; HEIGHT: 2

It doesn't take long to learn enough vocabulary to run a drive through. Give the window person a month or two, and they'll probably be competent.

Sit-com 'Laugh Out Loud' Moments in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Today I was thinking about the funniest moments of situation comedies. I was thinking about times that made me laugh out loud. Here are a few of my favorites. 1) The Marble Rye, Seinfeld . I was busting a gut when Jerry was on the sidewalk, trying to heave a loaf of bread up to George in an apartment. 2) Carry a rich man around in his pajamas, Cheers . I was howling with the various excuses Norm gave to the CEO (I can't remember his character'

I haven't been as excited about pro wrestling as I have been since World Class first entered my TV market. I am so happy that TNA is offering a good product. I have stopped watching WWE, and have made the switch. TNA is simply less-stupid these days.

You don't see any problems with sicking bounty hunters on a particular ethnicity? Should anyone who may possibly "not belong here" carry identifying documents at all times or face being arrested/ abducted (albeit temporarily)? This was suggested above: " hit the employers who hire illegals with huge fines that double with each offense." Who is going to do the "dirty jobs", you?

Popeye Problems in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Every night before my son goes to bed, he likes to watch an episode or two of Popeye. We had a 30 minute Popeye show saved on our DVR. (I must have recorded the last Popeye show on Boomerang, because they don't broadcast an all-Popeye show anymore.) Last night was no different. He watched a Popeye, I turned off the TV, and then he went to bed. After baby went to bed, my wife and I sat down to watch Tuesday's "Boston Legal." I was having a conversation with my wife while

That's that "different name" that I was referring to. Good memory up there! I just forgot it! It is times like these when I would appreciate a post by Sir Peter Maxwell. His forum posts were funny in the more senseless blogs.
