Weekend Wrap-up
June 15th, 2008This was a busy weekend—went to a Cardinal’s game and a Wedding. Here are the highlights in list form for my short-attention-span friends.
1. Bad Luck for the Cardinals - Apparently I am bad luck for the Cardinals. This is the second game in a row I have been to where the opposition has put up 20+ on the red birds. I am going to the game on Thursday, so if the Royals somehow muster up 20 runs, I might be banned from Busch (or InBev?) for life.
2. Barack/The Rock 2008 - There seems to be building support for a Barack/Duane Johnson ticket in 2008. Duane could introduce Barack with his patented slogan “if you smell what Barack is cooking?”. And, in debates against McCain’s VP-to-be, Duane would definitely be a formidable force with his raised eyebrow. What better way to end a debate than with the catch phrase “know your role and shut your mouth”? I know I would be on board. All joking aside, I am leaning toward Barack in 2008, if you are too, feel free to Barack the Vote and donate to his campaign.
3. Total Eclipse of the Heart - If you cannot book the Dan Band for your wedding, I would suggest going with the best wedding DJ in St. Louis - Joe Fingerhut. He put on a good show at the Alissa-Jarrod (correction) wedding bash on Saturday night. It was the first wedding where I had seen the dance floor completely full the whole night. He also did a number of hilarious audience participation skits.
4. Safety Dance - This jam was once again my song of choice for the weekend. I just cannot get enough of Men without Hats.
5. Ask the Wrangler - On Saturday, the Wrangler tentatively agreed to answer your questions on this blog. So, Friends of Matt, submit your questions for the Wrangler in the comments below.

Hmm. . . .If you’re really voting for Barack, he will win on in a landslide if he garners all voters left of you; though a Barack/Rock ticket may haunt those with life-crippling injuries from The People’s Elbow (see TED). . . As for the ‘other’ wedding you went to: Who is Elissa? Introduce me when you have a chance.
As for the ‘Ask the Wrangler’ questions: please bring them on!

Don’t forget the grade school graduation party you went to. . . Have we really sunk that low in America. I know my grandparent’s (”the greatest”) generation is frustrated by mine with our “results/rewards right now” attitude, but a party for grade school graduation? I mean, what, 99.9% of kids graduate grade school, and we treat them to a party for labeling this as an accomplishment? What’s next, do I have to have a trophy ceremony lined up for my future kid’s 9th place finish in the T-ball league?
