1) What's a Boxelder Bug? Is this a Wisconsin thing?

A Boxelder Bug is a little black insect that looks sort of like a firefly, except for its ass doesn't light up when it gets horny. I'm not sure if Boxelder Bugs are strictly a Wisconsin thing, but we here in Wisconsin sure do get a bunch of 'em... especially in the Spring. They're all over the place. They land on my (oh-so-ticklish) bare butt at 5:30 in the morning and wake me up.

At any rate, y'know the old saying that God watches us through the eyes of little birds. Well, there's a much less common, though no less true expression here in Cheeseland, that God grabs our asses with the feelers of little boxelder bugs.


2) Does Wisconson-ers celebrate Christmas with cheese decorations instead of candy canes or little baby jesuses?

No, but I have seen nativities in which the Baby Jesus and all the wise men were wearing styrofoam cheeseheads instead of the usual crowns and halos and stuff.

3) Plastic is bad for the environment. I'm turning you into the recycling cops. Sirens off in the distance.

Oop. Did I say plastic? I meant, umm, big candy canes made out of tofu. Yeah, that's it. Organic tofu candy canes. That's the ticket!

4) I'm off of work tomorrow! Yay! Going to try and see three movies. Lots of popcorn. Perhaps I'll sneak in some naughty beverages just to see if I can get away with it snicker.

What a coink-ee-dink. I have tomorrow off too! I'm gonna go to Milwaukee even, to see my brothers and sisters.

Much love, Kristina

Right backatcha Babe!

there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly hosts, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest and to Wisconsin too, for her native son hath shewn His display unto all men".

and when the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go to Sunfield Street and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about!"

So they hurried off and found the garlands and the icicle lights and the candy striped mailbox and the impeccably trimmed hedges and the three foot tall nutcracker soldiers and the thousands of tiny brilliantly colored lights hanging neatly in the leafless maple trees, and they were sore afraid.

Funny and poignant, especially this part:

Do You know how many homeless people I could have fed with the money I spent on that display?

It's all about the gifts these days. People have forgotten about the "true spirit of Christmas."
