Woo hoo! Black Table published my Wisconsin piece!
Warning -- vanity post ahead.

Black Table is one of my favorite "content'-type sites on the Internet. This week, I got to write for them...

http://www.blacktable.com/whitacre040930.htm

Three things:
1. Don't try to send me an e-mail through their link; it's wrong.
2. Yes, I know, and I let them know -- they edited in an apostrophe where it doesn't belong.
3. Yes, "Congressional Medal Home" also is an editing error.

2. You're welcome, Beast Man.
It's nice to be able to write something on the Internet, use my real name, and only get in trouble for it when my mom calls and asks why I had to use the f-word.

5. Wow. Just what the hell IS a "Congressional Medal Home?"
At least the "Friday's" makes some sense, if in an asshattish fashion.

Well, anyway, absent the editing -- good piece. :)

9. Oh, I'm perfectly capable of making dumbass typos.
They occasionally seep in to my magazine.

But I didn't make the "home" one.

And I don't make the apostrophe one unless I haven't slept for 36 hours or I'm typing blind or something.

7. Congratulations! A state most people ignore--except during election years
Unless you are from MN, MI or IL. They all vacation here.

11. The FIB sign is priceless!! We should do that to all their signs,
the bastards.

Where do you live that you have that bitchin' 2000-cheese cheese store? DROOOOOOOL!!

12. I live in Waukesha.
Brennan's on Bluemound -- I asked the cheese guy how many varieties they carried. He said it varied, but often right after the State Fair and the world competitions (they buy from most of the entries and all of the winners) it was close to 2000.

Black Table's graphics department handled the illustrations; I'm not sure if there actually is a "FIB" scrawl across any real-life signs.
