It’s a good day to get a Reuben. Despite 700 calories and 34 grams of fat, mmmmmmmm. Billy D’s has sandwiches for $6.00. Lord knows what the Rochester Deli is getting for theirs. Lord?
Well Huckleberry, the Rochester Reuben is $7.50 every day. Though they are having a Irish breakfast this morning until 9:30 a.m. and according to their website:
Corned Beef is what we do every day at the deli!
Why not join us for our Corned Beef & Cabbage, Irish Stew, Hand Carved Corned Beef Sandwiches, Reubens & Irish Beer. Corned Beef Available by the pound, min 1 lb. package, order ahead for faster service!
A deli like no other!
Back to you, Huckleberry.
Thank you Lord. Elsewhere in Sha-Town. The House of Guinness is also having an Irish breakfast. Hannon’s also traditionally has corned beef sandwiches. Who else is having something? Fuzzy’s, I’ll bet. McBride’s Hilltop? Anybody know? Failing all that, I remember a sign I saw at Hooligan’s on the east side of Milwaukee when their cook didn’t show up for work: Beer is food. Just don’t drive.
- Wisconsin only got a third seed as the NCAA slaps the Big Ten and spits on its champion’s shoes. Marquette got a sixth seed which only makes Wisconsin’s third seed worse. I would much rather play MU than the Badgers, if I was in this tournament. Any good coach will not want to play Wisconsin because of their style which is straight out of the movie “Hoosiers”.
- The Badgers play the late game on Thursday night.
- BTW, contrary to the movie’s premise that this little school came out of nowhere to win the state championship, the “real” Hickory (Milan High School), had advanced to the final four the previous season and had the bulk of that team returning for the year they won. That’s not to diminish their accomplishment. To assemble that good of a team in a tiny southeast Indiana high school is a once-in-a-lifetime event.
- I’m wasting time because it’s Monday and there’s not much in the papers.
- Bonehead of the day is a purse snatcher who let someone see his getaway car, didn’t dispose of the purse and left his ID in the abandoned car.
- Keep a close lookout for Johnny Depp. He could be anywhere. I like Depp, I think he’s a good actor.
- A Pewaukee alderman is like me, an early-retired Fed. Maybe I should … Naaaah.
- Here’s news: gas is expensive and people are cutting back. Some people think buying a hybrid like a Prius will save some money. According to this article, it would take almost 7 years to recover the premium. I remember post-oil embargo in the 70′s, some people went out and bought diesels because diesel was cheaper than gasoline. Not so today, I see diesel is like $4.10/gallon.
- Dear President Bush, I like you, I voted for you. Do you remember I sent money to your re-election campaign? You sent me your picture. Do you remember that? I just wanted to let you know, the economy sucks.
- This is the watershed moment of the 21st Century in which the U.S. slips into second place and it becomes China’s Century. I have no way of proving this, but then you have no way of proving me wrong.
