Thats like the guy that all that coverage has been shown of, getting in the scuffle at the yankee's game recently.... supposedly he's not going to be allowed to purchase tickets to a game, again. I dont think I've even seen a good shot of his face anywhere... so I doubt that the ticket seller people would even know... even if they do... theres always ticket master, with their high-prices, and service charges :)
That's not too far from the truth. International Harvester makes a monstrosity like that called the CXT Born out of a 20-ton hauler and other International ® severe service trucks used by the construction, government and waste industries, the International CXT is built on the same platform as dump trucks and snowplows. As a result, it is a vehicle unrivaled in capability, size and appearance. It hauls three times the payload of consumer pick-up trucks, is all-wheel drive, uses air brakes for unmatched stopping ability and offers towing, dumping and tilt bed capability. Additionally, it features a spacious interior with crew cab design that seats six and can be customized to meet owners’ specific needs – from paint color to air seats to flat screen TVs.
Our crew used to live at that place when it first opened up a few years back. It used to be down farther on 7th many years ago - OT TV?. The place must have changed big time since we went there because it was just a Bears bar that catered to us after hour employees. It was always dead in there except for the blind Bear owner. I assume he's still hanging out on the north side of the bar with his buds? He just made it for a place for fellow Bears fans (which I'm not of course) to hang for the games. By the sound of it he must have been influenced into changing his mind and make some money however it's done. I knew him semi-personally and can't see him doing that. I was talking with a few of our old crew today and we're gonna meet there next week and see if anything has changed.
As an FYI - Our old work crew has made it around downtown making almost every bar as our own at one time or another. A few that aren't even around any more like Shannon Kellys. Wild Tymes ended up being our final resting place before we were outsourced. :-(

There were 58 entries in St. Peter Kris took 8th place and won $120
He had 2 bad games out of 10, plus some of the other bowlers' handicap hurt him
It was a double elimination tournament. For his first match, he drew the "house pro" in St. Peter. Kris beat him 212 to 200 and 249 to 205 He won his first three matches, then lost the next match by 4 pins.
He won a couple more matches, then drew a guy who got 26 pins handicap Kris lost by 10
He paid $3 for a pool of high games. He had a 256 for 3rd place, and won $28. He paid $20 for side bets, and won $50.
I guess that out of the 58 entered, only about 10 knew him. They were like, "who the f*** is this?"
His first loss, every shot was good, but he was only knocking down 9 pins. He got pissed off and took himself out of the game because he  wasn't concentrating. After his mother got him a cherry coke )long story) he came back strong right to the end.
Nothing wrong with that. You're a proud papa and for good reason. My niece's hockey team (SSP) won tonight and are going to the State Tournament again. And to do a little bragging of my own, the niece is one of five finalists for the Ms. Minnesota Hockey award. :)
I suppose your niece doesn't have any more games now until State? It would be fun to take my girls to watch her. They played just the beginning of hockey through the rec center last year. Would be neat for them to see what it leads to.
Yes, they play in the 9:00 pm game at Rider on Thursday. Late game. It's been a fun ride. Been watching her play for five years now and I'll miss it next year. She's playing for Minnesota State next year, so I'll probably go watch when they play the U of M here, but high school is such fun! It's a great sport for girls, MOM. Encourage them.
I would love to see them continue to play.....but the signup fees went from like $70 each to - I don't even remember now, want to say it was like $350 for Emily and 2-something for Hannah. That wasn't in our budget, especially with Dad not working all summer. I figure if it strikes them as something to do through school, I will help them do that.
Don't they have an association to help out with that? Most communities sell pull tabs to help people out with those fees. Hubby out of a job would certainly qualify you.
Guess that never even occurred to me. He was working by the end of September, and to tell you the truth, it's been kind of nice not to have every weekend broken apart by practices. Maybe next fall or the year after. Bet the skates they have don't even fit.....it's been such a crazy winter, never even got out to skate.
The nice thing about hockey is that they usually play 16 girls pretty regularly. Three lines of five and the goalie. Most of the other sports only play ten or so at most.
She had beauty, charm and a man who "done her wrong." She was Kathleen Rockwell, and she made her way across the mountains to Dawson City and gold fields around the Yukon and Klondike Rivers, just as many others did during the Gold Rush of 1898.
When the St. Paul Winter Carnival began, Klondike Kate could easily have been the first to entertain at the Casino. Although it is not known exactly when Carnival began hiring entertainers, it is know that the last entertainer hired was in 1961, and she was known as "Klondike Kate." She then disappeared for a decade until 1971 when the St. Paul Jaycees decided to bring Kate back to Carnival. Together with the Winter Carnival Office, they initiated a competition to choose a new Kate each year. The contest is held each January and the newly reigning Klondike Kate becomes the hostess for the two subsequent weekends of Casino night performances.
In the early seventies and even into the eighties, the reigning Klondike Kate performed alone. But as years went by, the character of Kate became so flamboyant and dynamic that she became more and more in demand. It then became a group effort so that many more of the requested demands for appearances could be fulfilled. Starting in 1996, the Casino became known as Klondike Kate Cabaret. Former Klondike Kates who are members of the Royal Order of Klondike Kates perform along with the new Kate and create memories of the Gold Rush era in our country. Klondike Kate has become St. Paul's mistress of fun, frivolity, and good fellowship!
Today, the members of the Royal Order of the Klondike Kates make well over 100 appearances a year. The current group of active members will participate in approximately twenty parades over the summer months where they sing live on the award-winning float. They also perform at many senior citizen's homes, Meals on Wheels, Chamber of Commerce shows, conventions, benefits, the Minnesota State Fair, and many other engagements. For these very active women, who all work at the own full time jobs, it can be quite a demand on personal time. But the performances are so much fun that the Kates look forward to each one. Their statement of purpose for their organization reads "...to promote, enhance, and maintain a positive image, reputation and public perception of the legend of Klondike Kate." They are a "sisterhood" of women who love to perform and, by their very presence, provide and open-arm welcome to St. Paul visitors and locals, alike.

hmmmm....not that old......I wonder.......oh nevermind....
hmmm- read about the couple who will celebrate their 80th wedding anniversary in yesterdays Pioneer Press. She is 96 he is 98. soooo, the paper goes on to report that there will be a celebration at the St Pauls Cathedral today for National Marriage Day on Sunday? Thats today?! Ofcourse there is a holiday for everything. It got me thinking. Sweetest Day is in October. you usually celebrate your marriage on your anniversary. Valentines Day isnt just about married couples but about the ones you love- sweethearts: boyfriends, girlfriends, your kids, sisters, brothers, moms and dads, aunts or uncles, godparents and even friends. Â
I have to put in my 2 cents on the Vulcans/Alary's debate.
Let me start off by telling a story of why I quite dealing blackjack at Treasure Island. I was dealing in high stakes and someone spit in my face, needless to say they didn't kick him out. I didn't even finish my stint at the table, I went and put in my two weeks.
My point is that when you are somehow wronged, you can't wait to report it. You need to do something about it right away. If you don't stand up for yourself, you are leaving the door wide open for the wrong to be repeated. If the first girl had said something right away, that means that the 2nd and 3rd girls would not be victims. That is why this story smells so fishy to me. I completely agree with Scribe and THX on this one. (I can't believe I'm admitting that) OT, this has nothing to to with respecting you or liking/disliking you. Unless you were there, you can't really put forth an educated guess as to what happened. I am not saying he is innocent. I am not saying he is guilty. What I am saying is that people make presumptions based things they hear, not things they see. SEEING IS BELIEVING! So for you to try and convict this guy is WRONG OT.
Many Americans work side by side with space aliens who look human - but you can spot these visitors by looking for certain tip-offs, say experts.
They listed 10 signs to watch for:
Odd or mismatched clothes. "Often space aliens don't fully understand the different styles, so they wear combina- tions that are in bad taste, such as checked pants with a striped shirt, or a tuxedo jacket with blue jeans or sneak- ers," noted Brad Steiger, a renowned UFO investigator and author.
Strange diet or unusual eating habits. Space aliens might eat French fries with a spoon or gobble down large amounts of pills, the experts say.
Bizarre sense of humor. Space aliens who don't understand earthly humor may laugh during a serious company training film or tell jokes that no one understands, said Steiger.
Takes frequent sick days. A space alien might need extra time off to "rejuvinate its energy," said Dr. Thomas Easton, a theoretical biologist and futurist.
Keeps a written or tape-recorded diary. "Aliens are constantly gathering information," said Steiger.
Misuses everyday items. "A space alien may use correction fluid to paint its nails," said Steiger.
Constant questioning about customs of co-workers. Space aliens who are trying to learn about earth culture might ask questions that seem stupid, Easton said. "For example, a co-worker may ask why so many Americans picnic on the Fourth of July," noted Steiger.
Secretive about personal life-style and home. "An alien won't discuss domestic details or talk about what it does at night or on weekends," said Steiger.
Frequently talks to himself. "A space alien may not be used to speaking as we do, so an alien may practice speaking," Steiger noted.
Displays a change of mood or physical reaction when near certain high-tech hardware. "An alien may experience a mood change when a microwave oven is turned on," said Steiger.
The experts pointed out that a co-worker would have to display most if not all of these traits before you can posi- tively identify him as a space alien.
I've been to Alary's once...don't remember the waitstaff, or there even BEING a waitstaff actually...it was about 3 years ago for a friend's birthday.

I dont think I've even seen a good shot of his face anywhere... so I doubt that the ticket seller people would even know...
even if they do...

Alery's has a bad rep
Our crew used to live at that place when it first opened up a few years back. It used to be down farther on 7th many years ago - OT TV?. The place must have changed big time since we went there because it was just a Bears bar that catered to us after hour employees. It was always dead in there except for the blind Bear owner. I assume he's still hanging out on the north side of the bar with his buds? He just made it for a place for fellow Bears fans (which I'm not of course) to hang for the games. By the sound of it he must have been influenced into changing his mind and make some money however it's done. I knew him semi-personally and can't see him doing that.

sorry, had to brag it up, fun day
Nothing wrong with that. You're a proud papa and for good reason. My niece's hockey team (SSP) won tonight and are going to the State Tournament again. And to do a little bragging of my own, the niece is one of five finalists for the Ms. Minnesota Hockey award. :)
Well I'm officially up to 13,000 on those damn slots!! LOL
Congratulations to Kris and to your niece, OT!! Way to go!!!
MM - Sounds like you had a very nice day too.
Oh my gosh! Back away from the computer, MM!Â
I suppose your niece doesn't have any more games now until State? It would be fun to take my girls to watch her. They played just the beginning of hockey through the rec center last year. Would be neat for them to see what it leads to.
I had a wonderfully magnificant day Terry~!!! :)
Thats great OT
lol Ian.. and OTiS... U guys got me hooked. roflmao
It's all Ian. I was just reposting it incase someone missed it.
I love it.
Yes, they play in the 9:00 pm game at Rider on Thursday. Late game. It's been a fun ride. Been watching her play for five years now and I'll miss it next year. She's playing for Minnesota State next year, so I'll probably go watch when they play the U of M here, but high school is such fun! It's a great sport for girls, MOM. Encourage them.
By the way... I watched the movie THX 1138 tonight.
I'll give it a thumbs up.
Trips JOE?
OMG I just got to pick all of the flaming boxes.. KICK ASS :)
Â
Damn it.. now I WANT to go to the Casino.. and I have no cash!! LOL
I would love to see them continue to play.....but the signup fees went from like $70 each to - I don't even remember now, want to say it was like $350 for Emily and 2-something for Hannah. That wasn't in our budget, especially with Dad not working all summer. I figure if it strikes them as something to do through school, I will help them do that.
Don't they have an association to help out with that? Most communities sell pull tabs to help people out with those fees. Hubby out of a job would certainly qualify you.
Guess that never even occurred to me. He was working by the end of September, and to tell you the truth, it's been kind of nice not to have every weekend broken apart by practices. Maybe next fall or the year after. Bet the skates they have don't even fit.....it's been such a crazy winter, never even got out to skate.
The nice thing about hockey is that they usually play 16 girls pretty regularly. Three lines of five and the goalie. Most of the other sports only play ten or so at most.
Well I'm officially up to 13,000 on those damn slots!! LOL
You know you can "cash in" right? You trade your points for entries in a contest. I have submitted hundreds of entries and never won, but who knows?
