So we'll start this post out with last Saturday. While Groves was up in Kenosha for Father's Day and buying a Konerko jersey at Gurnee Mills, I was at Target in Chicago. I'm perusing the music aisles searching for something to get my father, Big Art... you know the guy.
So I'm looking at CD's and pick out a couple, a new essential Dean Martin and a newer Beatles compilation. As I continue browsing, I come across what I believe to be a new Counting Crows CD. Now, I haven't really bought a new CD in a long while with Napster being my main focus for consumption of tunes. Therefore, I'm not too up to date on new music. I was surprised to see a new Counting Crows CD. So, I throw it in my basket and head to the checkout.
Fast forward to the car... I'm struggling to open the CD package, that topic is a whole other issue. I mean why is it so goddamned hard to open a CD? Anyway, I get it open while I'm driving to get a sandwhich at Jimmy John's. I throw it in my CD player and up comes some song about how, "Why don't we throw ourselves to pray at his feet..." or something like that. To make a long story short, I look a little closer at the CD case, and discover that what I've actually purchased is a CD by Casting Crowns, a Christian Rock group... Now how's that for Gittin R' Done...
Lastly, on Wednesday myself, the boss, Mr. Kaduck, the Ropers and a few others headed up to Milwaukee and Miller Park for the Cubs Brewers game. It was a $55 trip on a bus with all the beer you could drink, a tailgate with hot dogs and nutter butters and a ticket... there were also a few crazy people as well.
My goal was to be drunk by the time the bus went by Kenosha... and I accomplished my goal. 
Ronnie Woo Woo tried to get on but they don't allow black people in Wisconsin so they left him in Chicago. The trip was compliments of The Heckler and all in all a pretty good time. You can check out more about the times at Milwaukee: A Photo Essay compliments of Mr. Kaduck's Rocketship. Or check out my stuff at Brewers Cubs. Git R' Done.
I really like this format much better... but the colors make me feel like I should be in Northern Wisconsin taking a dump in the middle of the woods.

That's actually the exact feeling we're looking for. Ain't nothin' better than feces in the forest.

I agree, the format is much better. I think we need to keep the picture of Big Art on the website below our "camo" pic.

Manny,
You missed out yesterday. Apparently we thought it was a good idea to get to Sox vs. Cubs game yesterday at 9 am and stand outside the BullPen bar gate. Granted I had a good time, and the Domb Squad was knuckle keep is 7 beers by the time I got there, but I think I only made it though about 4 innings before I went to Sluggers, and down a few Red Bulls and Vodka. But my question for you is, does the HUMP ever shut up? This kid was in “rare” form. No wonder we locked him in the trunk of Mr. W’s car in Kenosha.
On another note, the security guards at US Cellular need to relax. They were throwing people out left and right for basically doing nothing. One kid, a Harvard graduate mind you, was just standing on the wrong level outside, and for no reason, some dip-shit security guard threw him out, and about 3 seconds later, threw out his buddy “full-nelson” style.
Oh yeah, who is #50 on the Cubs? I was heckling him during batting practice and he told me to “GO FUCK MYSELF” Nice! Very professional.
Git R’ Done!

#50 is Will Ohman, one of the weak Cubs pitchers. He's probably gay.
Posted by: Mr. W | June 26, 2005 at 08:11 AM
I thought he may be gay. I think he took offense to the fact that I called him a "FAG"
New Topic:
I need a count of who is up for going to Vegas for Mr. W's Bachelor party? Or we could just stay in Chicago. Strippers seem to be the same where ever we go. Anyone have any suggestions? Ideas?
DJMicPickleShitters you have to come from Baltimore so I would like your input.

I'm up for the Bachelor Party, I just need some time in advice to make travel arrangements. So pick a date and don't wait til last minute.
Dom's always nuckle deep in 80 beers. go figure.
GO CUBS!
I'll see you clowns this weekend.

17 hours of drinking on saturday. An inspired performance by the Domb Squad.

Yah,
That was a good sox game, it's too bad they lost. I have a great idea for the next game a group of us go to.
I think we should all dress up like the 2nd to last scene in Braveheart. Art can be the Mel Gibson character, and he can give the big speach all face painted and riding on a cop horse.
(I think the cops would allow us to use their horse for a second... At least for Arts speech.)
