Stay away from me FATTY!
A "It makes people feel more comfortable to think that obesity stems from lack of control," Whigham said. "It's a big mental leap to think you can catch obesity."
In the mean time, it's probably in your best interest to stay away from fatties. Fortunately, they can usually be outrun, unless they're so fat that they're already on some sort of self-propelled electrical chariot 24/7.
And if you're unfortunate enough to be having any kind of "relations" with a fatty, it may be time to come clean with your friends and own up to it. Unfortunately, this may mean that you are now dead to them.
Contrarily, we can attempt to round up all the fatties and put them into some sort of containment area. If we somehow constructed a giant buffet in Montana they might all come. Then we can seal off Montana till we find some sort of magical "cure" for being fat.

Milwaukee Brewers are Back....
after serveal seasons with the worst jerseys in the league the milwaukee brewers and going old school....
this brewers throwback will be worn by the players for every home sunday game all season long.... the only question is how can we get them to switch to this permenantly....
Fun Fact about the logo from the article: Tom Meindel, an art student at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, who submitted the winning design in 1977. He won $2,000 for his effort, and the Brewers wore his brainchild from 1978-1993,

Spreading the love
All the best stories come from Wisconsin.
A Wisconsin man has been arrested for distributing images of his manhood.
Jeffrey John Hein put photocopies of his images on windshields in open windows, and cracked sunroofs. He now faces 30 charges of lewd and lascivious behavior.
He would then watch as women found his pictures.
In related news, Jeffrey Hein has found out how to use the zoom function on his office copy machine.

Man Eats technology in protest
So a guy rides a bike to the cell phone store. He's ticked off that his phone hasn't worked in 6 months. He demands a refund.
After getting infuriated, he breaks his phone in two. Then he decides to eat the memory chip inside so that nobody can take his information.
I only wish I had a picture to post with this story.

Wisconsin Rocks Literally...
Thanks to sco for the link:
on the day we, as a state, pave the way for cat hunting there is one small bright note... very very small. as small as a grain of sand. a zircon crystal that is believed to the oldest thing on earth resides in madison wisconsin. in order to honor the sand UW is throwing a jazz party for it and the public will be allowed to look at a microscope at it. although dont try to steal it.... its under police guard...
my poor state seems very lame today...

Woman Loses Ms. Wheelchair Title
This sounds like a familiar Seinfeld Episode.
Janeal Lee, who has muscular dystrophy and uses a scooter, had the Ms. Wheelchair Wisconsin title taken from her after photos of her standing up surfaced.(left)
Although she does have a disability and does use a scooter, Apparently she is not handicapped enough for the powers that be.
"I've been made to feel as if I can't represent the disabled citizens of Wisconsin because I'm not disabled enough," Lee said. She had raised $1000 dollars to go on the trip with her sister.
I wonder if she'll stand up and fight, or if she'll take it sitting down...

I forgot I'm from Wisconsin
Earlier I reported on the Enormous sandwich from Burger King. You may or may not remember that I seemed impressed by this sandwich. Our very own Taemin even declared it to be too much.
We now have two new tasks for our reviewers.
Wisconsin is home to the double brat sandwich. You can construct this at home. It's sort of like another Wisconsin feature, the double wide. Sure one trailer or brat is good, but why settle for one when you can get two and stick em together?
Wisconsin is also the home of the 4 pound hamburger. You can enjoy this delicate delicacy at Kelly's Bleachers, 5218 W. Blue Mound Road in Milwaukee. "It's like eating 16 Quarter Pounders at McDonald's," said Kelly's Bleachers owner Patrick Guenther. "I've gone to McDonald's and ordered two Quarter Pounders, but I never asked for 14 more," he said.

Cat Season
Ah Wisconsin,
Another animal story from Wisconsin. If this proposal goes through, we'll soon see a lot more. Mark Smith of Lacrosse has proposed that any cat in the open without a collar is an unprotected species.
To people without a nice arsenal and a license to hunt small animals, this doesn't mean much, unless you own a cat. If this proposal becomes adopted, a hunter can legally kill any cat out on the street without a collar.
So don't like your neighbor's cat? Get a box, maybe poke some holes in it, take off the collar, and ship it off to Baraboo. Them good ol' boys will take care of it.
As an aside to anyone else from Wisconsin: How much did those field trips to Baraboo suck?

Connecticut PWN3D
wow bad week for connecticut... first the entire state is told to evacuate (note: this is a pretty funny story). and now some kid from there has set the world record for wearing a Green Bay Packers Jersey. He has worn the thing for 408 days straight...
The Greatest Quote Ever from his dad and Packers President...
"Chuck Witthoft grew up in Milwaukee and maintained his allegiance to the Packers through moves to Minnesota, California and California.
He proudly proclaimed that “David didn’t have a choice,” on his selection of a favorite team."
Said Packers President Bob Harlan, with a chuckle: “Just another typical diehard cheesehead. I hear from them all the time.”
side note: the article makes refernce to a town called Sobieski. Anything to do with Shannon?

Why Wisconsin Why?
Why does this kind of Story ALWAYS come from wisconsin?
I don't know if i'll ever go back. It's just too much to handle
Here's yet another story about some crazy cramming a house full of animals in Wisconsin. 250 Cats were found dead and alive in this house. The floor is covered in feces. They say that the homeowner started bringin in stray cats and was all of a sudden "just became overwhelmed by the situation." Police were only notified after neighbors started to complain about the stench.
Now the house has to be demolished.
How many stray cats are there in Wisconsin? How did they all end up in this persons home. Why not stop bringing in cats after you have 5? Why not stop bringing in cats after 100?
Absolutely ridiculous.

John Kerry is building a new Stadium
Apparently being such a sports fan and eager to win the support of my fellow Wisconians, John Kerry has decided to build a new football field in Wisconsin.
Packers news is reporting that John Kerry spoke of a Lambert Field. I'm not sure if the Kerry campaign knows this, but there's a Lambeau Field in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin Pride and Olympic Fun: Jesse 3 Bryant 0
Paul Hamm is the first male from the USA to win olympic gold in men's individual gymnastics and he is from waukesha wisconsin.
from the nbc bio
"The twins grew up on a farm in Waukesha, Wis., and used makeshift equipment to train on. Sandy built a pommel horse from an old maple tree and foam and leather from automobile upholstery; rings were hung in the attic; a stairway railing was made into parallel bars; and they set up a trampoline in the barn."
and one thing ive been trying to figure out with these games is this: with my small height (5'8") and muscular build (180lbs) what could i have won a medal in? since the Hamm's are 5'6" and 140lbs maybe the answer is gymnastics...

I <3 Nature.
Jamie L. Verburgt, of Milwaukee Wisconsin was found with about 200 live animals in her apartment. She had about 70 ducks in a pen, snakes, turtles, rabbits, alligators, opossums, and squirrels. She also had animal carcasses in her freezer and in her garage.
When asked for an explanation. Apparently she picked up the dead animals off the road to feed the live animals. The live animals she was keeping to sell to pet stores. This must be the WORST scheme EVER to make a dollar. The humane society was called in to take away Verbrugt's Apartment farm
In 2000, her boyfriend, John Walters, was charged for mistreating exotic animals including a female cougar, female leopard, silver-tailed fox, monitor lizard, two caracals, a coatimundi, chinchilla and a reticulated python which he kept in his apartment.
First it's amazing that there are two of these crazies living in Wisconsin. Second its amazing/beautiful that these two found each other.

The conclusion of Audrey Seiler
"I set up everything. I'm just so messed up. I'm sorry,"-Audrey Seiler
it seems as if she did this all dissapearing act to get her boyfriends attention. and the most telling part of the story: her laptop was used to acess his email and read exchanges with another chick.
now people, please, if we have learned two things about what not to do on the internet they are this:
1. never pose naked for anything
2. never ever no matter how much you may "love" your girlfriend give her your email password, im convinced no good can come from it whatsoever.

How do you define Wisconsin?
Effective Journalism means using the reverse pyramid. You put the most important items at the top of your article. Here's an example from The Janesville Gazette. The first sentence makes an attempt to define Wisconsin. For the longest time I thought we were the dairy state, but I guess the wonderful state of wisconsin has myriad other products by which it defines itself. I'll list a couple i can think of the rest you can post under comments:
Milk / Cheese / Beer / Badger / Cows / The house on the Rock / Mustard Museum / Truck in Tree

It Looks Like Wisconsin Is In The News Again
My city, Madison Wisconsin made national news again today, when missing UW student Audry Seiler was found alive. This is an fascinating case, and the police have not released all of the information yet. I have been trying to deduce exactly what happened based on a few interesting clues that have surfaced, see if you can figure out what happened before the police do. Here is the pertinent information:
-This girl, (who lives about 2 blocks from my girlfriend) disappeared early Saturday, at about 2am.
-A security camera showed her looking out the window and pacing before leaving by herself right before she disappeared.
-She did not take her keys or cell phone with her, and was wearing sweatpants and flip-flops when she left.
-She was assaulted randomly 1 month earlier, knocked unconscious, and woke up one block away. She was not robbed.
I think I know what happened, we will see if I am right when the police release more details.

I Love Wisconsin
Is it just me, or have there been about a million stories about Wisconsin in the news these past few weeks? The funny thing is, none of this news is normal. There's always something crazy happening in 'Sconsin, so I've taken it upon myself to start its very own category. If anyone is going to do it, it should probably be me. If any of the other guys here did it, it would be like nominating yourself for prom king.
To start of the Wisconsin fun, I came across this story today. Looks like this law is really working, Ms. Attorney General.
