| Last night I was watching tv, it was comdien Bill Murry and his brothers play golf at some course in WI. The one brother was having a real hard time so another decided to help by giving the first "some Wisconfidence". The Wisconfidence turned out to be a 40oz pitcher of beer that was slugged down in about 3 seconds via a large funnel and a length of plastic hose.
It worked. Do all you WI folks do that?
[:bigsmile:] |

|
| Sounds like it was a funny show. FYI: The Murray brothers are Illinois products. Born and raised in the good old North shore suburbs of Chicago.
|
|
| |
|
| No, we don't ever do that sort of thing. Illinois folks come up here, and do that sort of stuff all the time.
By the way, traffic will be all goofed up now, as the Blackberries/Raspberries are ripe. Other Wisconsin folks know what I mean.[:bigsmile:] [:bigsmile:] [:bigsmile:] [:bigsmile:] [:bigsmile:] [:bigsmile:] |
|
| |
|
| I definitely don't do that sort of thing.
"Wisconfidence" to me means I know when my boat is pushed off the trailer into my favorite northern WI waters, I'm surrounded by numerous large predators just waiting to come to the dinner bell! |
|
| |
|
| Not since college.. and I think they were 60 oz pitchers.. [:)]
Although i do think that the term "Wisconfidence" is a winner! |
|
| |
|
| In High school we use to do that all the time, Then we got smart. LOL Well if you wanna drink beer from funnel and a gallon at a time more power to ya. I prefer to have it with a little more moderation and enjoy my time.

The funny thing is.....
When I came to Wisconsin everyone said they drank a ton of beer when I was at UW-Stevens Point. I found that they drank very low quanities comparied to when I was at U of Minnesota. We drank more in high school in MN then folks did in Wisconsin when I was in college. My wedding being the exception where 7 halfs were downed, but that was both MN and WI folks there in force.
Maybe MN should be used in that term instead of WI.
They have large muskies and large consumers of beverages too.[;)] [:bigsmile:] |

| Jason, what you're missing is that the beer consumption (alcohol volume) difference between MN and WI was made up through Brandy consumption on the part of us Cheddarheads!
Why fill up on foam and bubbles when you can get the job done right?
!!!!
Jono
p.s. truth be told, I hate Brandy but it is another beverage majorly consumed here in WI. Captain Morgan is another story...I've swabbed the decks many a night ye scurvy dogs, arrrgggghh.[:knockout:]
p.s.s. cool, a "who drinks more" border battle. might as well, it's certainly a closer call compared to Packers v. Vikings which we all know the answer to that argument! [:devil:]

|
| Jono better not get into cross border drinking battles as you pretty well know that not only we got the bigger fish but better beer and also the best drinkers in Canada. [:knockout:]
Man just to think I used to buy me a case and a half ( 36 ) for every Friday and Saturday night. [:blackeye:] But now a six pack will do me just fine. [:p] |

|
| Minnesota, Wisconsin, Canada....where do the Hulbert's fit into all this?? Maybe we could be used as free-agents and drafted to a state's drinking team.
Hey Rich, Canadian beer is not that good. It's skunky and watery. Germany and Belgium make the best brew. Not only does it go down pretty tasty, but it packs a hell of a punch. Try a Spaten Optimator sometime (I'll bring some up)...they are at 9%. A twelve pack is like drinking 28 budweisers.
There's nothing better.

| Maybe for the next M1st outing we can meet at a watering hole on the border say in Hudson and we can have a Sconnie vs Gopher drinking event. Maybe a brew and a shot and then you have to perform a muskie related task like work a glide bait or a kneeling figure eight. Then after several hours we can finally find out which state has the best drunken muskie hunters. [:bigsmile:] |

|
| Rich,
Some of those fish get bigger just like some girls get prettier after a case and a half! LOL!
Hulberts = Liquor Mercenaries. Weren't you guys recently featured in 'Drinker of Fortunes' magazine? That bit about you guys battling the "Talibar" in the middle east or something like that? heh-heh-heh.
Perhaps it's time to lay down the gauntlet and go for it all...the coveted Silver Liver trophy which, by the way, is still here in WI!!!! Come and get it.
We can have a drunk olympics with events like "don't hit on the inflatable doll (where you have to spot the fake and successfully avoid harassing her - it's a game of skill)", "beer bong triathalon", "find your wallet", "coatless winter walk(a winter drunk olympics event)", "ginger brandy sprints - bar stool to bathroom" and other crowd pleasers too numerous to name here.
Contestants will also be judged on their debate skills by discussing topics such as, "Beer - friend or friend?" and "What's so hard about liquor?" along with the all time favorites "That's the thing" and "The problem with the World is..." before finishing up with the finale - "Hot or Not?" and "That band sucks".
The ceremonies will close with all the contestants singing "Piano Man".
There will be no swim suit competition, thank God, and congeniality will only get you disqualified.
We can shoot for a date on or around the full moon since that seems to be the best time to be stinking drunk.
OK, who is with me?
Jono.
p.s. can ya tell it's a slow day? I really need to fish, I think I'm losing my mind.
[:p]

| What a hoot, I love where this thread has wandered. I'll be hooking up with the Hulbert Brothers, those Indy drinkermen with a fishing problem, next week here in Iron Mountain. Looks like I better rest up for a few days before they arrive; I think they'll be a baaaaad influence on me.[:devil:] |

| Jason, guess we must have frequented different parties at UWSP. Once a monce on Main(right off division) friends and I would throw a rent gathering party, which usually consisted of 5-6 halfs, and a couple rubbermaid garbage cans of whop. We usually started it around 6 PM and the beer was always gone at 10 or 11, then down town we went. It was an attic party and the landlord lived in the downstairs of the ole mansion, never minded a bit(rent was always on time).
Had my housewarming last Fri here, and only had one half barrell and it lasted 18 of us 6:30 till 10:00, guess were getting old. My buddy did bring his beer bong for old times sake, but we did not use it(thank goodness). The muskies were safe on Sat. till about noon. |

| Jono,
I'm in for the drinking contest.....MN or WI, I'll go to the highest bidder. Your post had me laughing.
Ranger,
You better find your drinking boots. There's gonna be some great times had on the water in Iron Mountain next week. Just ask those MN boys who thought they could hang with us (Ben Meister....B420 and his gang.)
See ya next week. |

| I know of more than a couple Cheeseheads that were handed their drinking a$$es by FIBs. You weak stomached brandy sippin' cheese eatin' fruitcakes can fight all you want amongst yourselves & when you finally figure out who's best send 'em to Chicago and we'll send ya' home chokin' on your own vomit crying for mommy! Same goes for popcorn poppin' moonshine drinkin' Hulbert's too!!!

| This could get interesting. Maybe at this winter's Musky Expo in Chicago, we'll have a get together....after the lure swap meet gets old, we'll throw down Hulbert-Style!! No Old-Style.
I like the beers, but I prefer the bourbon. There is no way that a FIB knows anything about partyin'....and how can WI boys say they are so hardcore, aren't they busy skinnin' muskies.....and MN weenies, come on, democrats drink like women.

| Steve, I have no inclination to try to go the distance with you guys. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm surely not against such behavior in general. (What Deadhead would be?!) Rather, most of us over-40's are no longer physically or emotionally prepared to meet such challenges, and a few of us have realized that fact. Rest assured I'll drink a few witch'ya, though![:p] |

|
| Hey Ranger,
Can't wait to throw a few back with ya....living in the city has got me jonesin' for the smell of pine and the Northwoods. See ya in a week. |

|
| Jason, that's what you get when you party in the alcohol/tobacco free dorms![:bigsmile:] I'm a pointer and most everyone I know there, besides the ladies, drinks too much beer.[:praise:]
Oh yeah, and this is college now. Beer costs too much to bong in 5 seconds, that was high school stuff.
