The War on Zombies

Slowpoke Rodriguez

Occasionally my blog will be informative. Today's bit of knowledge that I am choosing to highlight is that the popular Speedy Gonzales Loony Tunes character has a cousin known as Slowpoke Rodriguez.
If what I read is accurate Slowpoke and his cousin Speedy are not shown on the Cartoon Network because the characters were deemed to be "offensive ethnic stereotypes". Well what is Elmer Fudd then?

Here is a Slowpoke clip from YouTube.

Bobblehead #2

I got my second bobblehead of the year Friday. This time I got the more common pinstriped home uniform and not the powder blue visitor uniform like I did last time. The left fielder Ben Oglivie was the 9th of 13 bobbleheads given out throughout the year at Friday games.

We tailgated before the game and then sat in $7 nosebleed seats that were 8 rows from the very top. I thought it was actually pretty cool to be up that high. You can't exactly see the seams on the baseball or the laces on the player shoes but do you really need to to enjoy a game? I don't think so. Brewers won 2-1 and the hot dog won the sausage race. It was a good time.

Flavored Bread

This better not be from the Home Pride factory.


Home Pride is my bread of choice. Butter Top Wheat just like in this image. Just one mouse and that would be it. That would be enough for me to switch brands forever. My mom found a fly at the bottom of her coffee cup at a KFC somewhere down south once. Now she won't ever go to any KFC anywhere ever again. It's irrational. I could see if it was a beak, some feet, or an entire chicken head maybe, but a fly at the bottom of a coffee cup could happen anywhere. I'm not sure even if I found a McNoggin in my McNuggets that I'd stop eating at McDonalds. I'd at least make sure I got some sort of golden pass or something that allowed me to eat free at any McDonalds worldwide for the rest of my life.
