Thanks for threading that article from Mitch Albom. The story is very indicative of the people in our area. I'm about 40 miles NW of Detroit, and go into the city whenever I have a chance (usually a sporting event, restaurant or concert). We also do a lot of business in the city, though, currently, not as much as we would like. I hope some of you guys take the time to read the article, it's quite long, but quite good. It is also spot on in regards to the people in this region.

BTW, if we ever get a the Lions to the playoffs, you'll see a party like no other!

Take it easy Archie Bunker!

Eric, Blogo will get his in the criminal trial. I'm still hoping Bush doesn't pardon the last *************** we put in jail from our state.

Also, make sure you see Gran Torino, best movie I have seen in many years. I think you'll agree.

Hey, round eye, what if we sold the rights to the Germans, or heaven for bid, the Belgians.
Just yankin your chain Eric
81,
My brother saw Gran Torino last night and really enjoyed it. He said he appreciated the nostalgia and the familiarity of the area. (filmed in the "D")

to me being racist is making someone sit in the back of the bus....or killing someone because of the race..both of which i would never do and think its not moral.
just to explain myself

Drives me nuts. Didnt vote for him, dont like his socialist tendencies, but still, he's the guy and I am willing to at least give him a chance to see what he does rather than condemn him from the start.

But all these moonbats that constantly praise him like he's actually done something, anything, when he has, as of yet, done NOTHING...NOTHING at all. I just don't get it. At least wait until he does SOMETHING to see if he comes even close to measuring up to all the hype before we think about Obama plates and Obama Day, and Obama monuments and Obama on Mt Rushmore and third terms. Good grief people, use your heads.

Kristof,
I was waiting to see if you would catch that. Bud is not my beer of choice, there are so many other good beers being produced. I am very partial to the Triple Belgian style beers, and also the IPA's. But don't get me wrong, I'll drink a Bud or two if it's the only thing around. Like I've said in the past, I'm a beer goat.

Azeus,
I'm not far from your old stomping grounds. I will be at Lake Orion High School on Saturday for my son's swim meet, and I was in Ferndale, at a restaurant called Anita's Kitchen, a couple of weeks ago.
Your opinion on Granholm is dead on. It is almost comical how she is ruining, er,I mean running this state. I would have liked to have seen what DeVos could have done.

MAJOR THREADJACK

How's swim season going Steve? If I recall correctly, you said your older son just sort of stepped into it and did well, but I believe he graduated so this is your second son? How's he doing? What's he swim? What kind of times?

If you are really bored and have time to kill (I believe you said things were slow at the plant due to the cold), I (at her request) put together for my daughter, a video compilation of her high school swimming career. You kinda had to be there to appreciate it, but at the same time, as a swimming parent, you might like it.

Click on the link on the right side of the page...it takes a while to load - its kind of big. If you look at it, you have to sort of understand that girls swimming can be a little more touchy feely than boys.

I'm kind of in swimming mode right now. My Harvard meet is in about 8 weeks. Actually getting so I feel pretty good in the water about now...seems to take longer as I get older. Also, I've been going to a bunch of boys HS meets even tho I have no one involved. Just enjoy it. Team is real good this year.

It didn't seem right that the Belgians bought Bud last summer. I vowed to drink only local beers, which we have many good ones around here. But, they are too rich for the system and obviously not brewed to be drank dailey or even in modest quantities, so Bud it is, regardless of who owns them. At least they're owned by a country known for making good beer. Kristof, don't let them fool with the recipe.

I think it was cause the euro was 2 for 1.....not no more

Eric, and yet they do...

i think we realize it was merely a wise businees decision on the Belgians part, you guys piss out better tasting beer than bud

Riley, you know i have to throw in some cheap shots, I really dont think they bought it cause it tastes good, we could of next day aired some over



so the buttery lobster, the garlic brauts and the hot wings had nothing to do with it? lol
you need glutton free beer, they are finding out that alot of people are allergic to wheat
