The wonderful D. C. Everest high school football field.  Right down the street from the Palms supper club. Stop by for a brandy old fashioned sweet. With olives (or perhaps a pickle.). I love living in Wisconsin. We're a pretty happy bunch.

question to ponder over INT:

why was Wausau Story called Wausau Story?

Because who would believe one would ruin good alcohol and olives by using a pickle as a stirrer? Pure fiction.

I'm sure the cheddarheaders of the dairy state would use a stick of butter as a stirrer for buttered rum.

Based on the old Wausau Employers Insurance commercials, which told the "Wausau story".

I believe the company initially sponsored the corps.

Just as the First Federal Bank sponsored the Blue Stars in LaCrosse.

Since I ended up living in the UP (Upper Peninsula - a Yooper), I remember Wausau Story very fondly.  Yes, they were sponsored by the insurance company.  I sure wish they kept going because prior to their folding, they fielded a full corps.

Yes, those mid/late 70s editions of Wausau were full.  The old blue and green did well in those days.

Don't be silly. The stick of butter goes on top of the burger.

If they dropped the intermission they should beat the nasty weather that will be over Wausau within the next 90 minutes.

Word is, they did drop intermission.

yes, butter burgers at Culver's.

Yup. And the spaghetti goes in the chili. Now I'm getting hungry. Good thing tomorrow is Friday. I'm ready for a perch fry.
