Post Cheese bra (Sep.2005 entry)!

I had never attended a Packer Game in my life, which is everyone's dream here in Wisconsin and tickets are VERY hard to come by.

Well, my best friend was dating a guy who had a couple extra tickets for us, so we jumped at the chance. It also happened to be a Monday Night game, which meant NATIONAL coverage. If we could get on TV, two of my brothers, one in San Diego CA and the other in Everett WA would be able to see me, that is, IF I made it on TV.

At the time I was working at a local natural bread baking company as the President's secretary. The owners (Pres. and VP) are dairy free and DO NOT allow any dairy products or fast food on their property, which shows how strongly they feel on this subject.

Well, while deciding how we would get national coverage, we thought of ways that other people get on TV during a football game. The only thing we could really come up with was by taking our shirts off....this posed a problem. Usually the ones taking their shirts off are men! But my friend's son had a "cheese" football, made of the same material as the traditional "Cheeseheads". So, we came up with the idea of cutting two of them in half and sewing them onto our bra's, creating the cheese-bra. Keep in mind this is before someone started manufacturing them. (which we think they got the idea from us, hey, maybe we should be getting royalties...)

We went to the game and we were a bigger hit than the Packers! We didn't make it on the Monday night show, but we did make national coverage on a famous football show on a movie channel, Some of the half time show band members ran up to have their picture taken with us, and our local newspaper sports reporter even happened to be sitting in our section and did a small write up in our paper about our "Madonna style cheese bras".

This was the BEST Packer experience any one could ever have!

Needless to say, I went to work on Tuesday and told a few co-workers. When I came in to work on Wednesday, my boss called me into his office and told me that I was suppose to "get my things together" because I "no longer was employed" by them. After speaking with a close friend who was in upper management, she explained that he stated my display of "dairy product" was unbecoming of one of their employees.

As a single Mom, I left, crying. Not knowing what I would do to support my daughter. I looked at myself in the mirror, smiled, stood up and went out and found a new job. And the best part is, they hired me because of my cheese bra. They said it showed I was creative and I had personality.

Thumbs up I...

Love this story! I know how dedicated people are to the Green Bay Packers in that region of the country.

Hey, don't insult the cheese fries! Those are actually pretty good if they are made right. Curly fries are better though.

The hat comment was just sarcastic humor insinuating you have a big head about the size of your *my own slang word for 'breasts' has been censored*.

If you want to know what I was going to call them... tough! Muahaha!

THE BEST damn cheese fries you'll ever eat...

in a small bakeing dish put a layer of french fries (already cooked), a layer of colby/jack cheese, bacon bits, and ranch dressing. put another layer of fries, cheese, bacon bits, and ranch dressing on top of that and bake at 300 degrees for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted well.

The same thing happened to me!
Except it wasn't a bra made from cheese, it was a pair of knickers, and it wasn't a Packer's game, it was the office Christmas party, but other than that, it was exactly the same!

Ranch dressing:

Yields: 1.5 cups

Ingredients:

1 clove garlic, peeled
2 to 3 pinches of kosher salt
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup mayo (preferably a low sugar mayo like Dukes, sugar neutralizes the acids in the dressing...) substitute 1/2 cup sour cream if you want to make it as a dip.
2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro or parsley
1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives
kosher salt to taste
black pepper to taste

Mash together the garlic cloves and salt until a paste is formed. Remove to a small bowl or a jar with a tight fitting lid. Add and whisk together buttermilk, lime juice, cilantro or parsley and chives until well blended. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate.

Don't buy the bottled salad dressings, it probably is made from pig poo and salad dressings are so easy to make. If I'm gonna take the time to make a nice meal, I want it to taste like somebody actually made it, not poured it out of a can.

Honey French is a bit too sweet for me (diabetic). I go for low sugar dressings.

My favorite is good ole Itallian made with EVOO and malt vinagar (about a 6:1 ratio of EVOO to vinagar is best, with oreganeo and garlic...mmmm).

EVOO=Extra Virgin Olive Oil

I've always gone for what was between the ears first (my wife has a master's degree, and getting pretty darn close to her PhD). The rest is gravy.

We are University of South Carolina fanatics (the school mascot is the Gamecock). I had a bra her size custom printed at a local company in the school's color (garnet) that had the block C and gamecock logo on one breast, and 'I support the COCKS' on the other. It has become her 'lucky bra' that she wears to all the homegames. Is that as creative as the 'Cheese Bra'?

You would be suprised what 86,000 people screaming 'GO COCKS' sounds like...

I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok...I sleep all night and I work all day...

My philopophy, like color television, is all there in black and white

Your Highness, when I said that you are like a stream of bat's piss, I only mean that you shine out like a shaft of gold when all around it is dark.

Watery women laying in ponds giving out swords is no basis for a system of government.

Jesus did. I was hopping along, when suddenly he comes and cures me. One minute I'm a leper with a trade, next moment me livelyhoods gone. Not so much as a by your leave. Look, I'm not saying that being a leper was a bowl of cherries, but it was a living. I mean, you try waving muscular suntanned limbs in people's faces demanding compassion. It's a bloody disaster.

He's not pining, he's passed on. This parrot is no more. He has ceased to be. He's expired and gone to meet his maker. He's a stiff, bereft of life, he rests in peace. If you hadn't nailed him to the perch he'd be pushing up daisies. He's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot.

I love the Philospher's Drinking Song

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.

David Hume could out-consume
Schopenhauer and Hegel

And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.

Plato, they say, could stick it away--
Half a crate of whisky every day.

Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle.
Hobbes was fond of his dram,

And René Descartes was a drunken fart.
'I drink, therefore I am.'

Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker,
But a bugger when he's pissed.
