The showing will remain open to the public until game day November 1st 3:15pm at which time, according to Radio Host Len Nelson,  “Favre will be buried by the Packer’s Defensive Line”.

Favre returns to Green Bay one day after Halloween to lead the arch rival Minnesota Vikings in a showdown against his former team and heartbroken fans in what is shaping up to be a battle of historic proportions on the  Frozen Tundra.

There is already word of a jersey & memorabilia burning to be held at Lambeau field on game day November 1st 2009. We’ll never forget you Brent.

Dumping a motorcycle is no big deal, unless of course your under way and the bike has to skid to a stop on your nice shiny chrome crash bars. Most times people will dump a big bike in wet, slippery situations when they are not paying full attention. If you do it once, it’s unlikely you’ll ever want to do it again. It’s always nice to have a riding buddy help you, but there may be a situation where there is nobody around to help.

The first thing to do is not panic. Check yourself for injury and if injured, DO NOT proceed, get help! Next evaluate the situation by examining the surface and the slope on which the bike rests. If you are on hard pavement and an even slope then you are in good shape, but if you’re on wet grass or mud and on any kind of slope, you’re probably in for a messy go of  it. Let’s first tackle the hard level surface situation…

Here are a few rules to follow:
Rule #1: Do NOT try to lift with your arms or upper body.
Rule #2: Do NOT try to PULL the bike up from the opposite side.
Rule #3: Do NOT push or pull on anything delicate, like your throttle grip.
Rule #4: Always grab something solid.
Rule #5: Always PUSH the bike up using your LEGS.

LEFT SIDE FALL:
So, on a level surface, with the bike laying on it’s left side, the handle bars turned & locked full left and with you wearing sturdy boots and gloves, face away from motorcycle and sit on the seat as if sitting side saddle, with both feet spread about shoulder distance apart, then plant your feet firmly, grab a hold of the top chrome rail near where it is attached to the bike and with your right hand grab the left handle bar (not the grip) midway, then push with your legs. The first inch or two will be the worst, but it will get easier as you progress. As the bike rises to the vertical position, take a few breaths, relax and reach down with your foot and lower the kickstand, then left the biker fall onto the stand.

RIGHT SIDE FALL: The procedure is basically the same, except be sure the kickstand is down before you start.  Remember, DO NOT use the throttle as a grab point, especially on the newer fly-by-wire models.

Wet, Muddy Surfaces with Slope:
If you’ve dumped your bike at a rally campground, then it’s likely there are several hundred willing biker brothers around to help you and that is probably the best way in these tough situations. The first trick is to get the bike level in regards to the front and back tires, so it it’s pointing down hill, try to drag the front around so both wheels are perpendicular to the slope. Always push from the up-slope side.
Have someone ready in case the bike wants to start going the other way, and gravity will want to do that. Once upright, be sure to place a board or coaster under the foot rest to keep it from sinking into the wet ground.

The Drive Up:
In the proper conditions it is also possible to drive the bike up from a laid down position.
This is best taught by an experienced driver and then, like the above situations  should be practiced a few times under controlled conditions.

Dumping a Harley while standing still will not usually do any damage to the bike itself, but damage to your ego and confidence may result. Don’t let this experience tarnish your love for riding, but do chalk up the experience and an improved respect for the weight of the machine.

The 160 oz. Prime Rib King

Movies have depicted Northern Wisconsin restaurants with lumberjack sized steaks, like the old 96′er which the late John Candy barely accomplished (The Great Outdoors, 1988) and which may seem obscene to health conscious folks in California or to New Yorkers who pay hundreds of dollars for a 6 ounce steak prepared by some fancy pants chef, but here in Wisconsin, the cholesterol challenge begins in the over 100 ounce club.

A mere 45 minutes after starting,  the challenger Andy Frank swallowed his last bite of the monster 160 ounce prime rib and was declared the winner and new reining King of Prime Rib!

Still feeling a mite peckish, Mr. Frank topped off this monumental task by polishing off his fried potatoes and salad. Shown above is a photo of the new King of Prime Rib. The 160 ounce Extreme Cut has been offered since 2003, but so far only 3 have conquered the mountain of meat. The 104 ounce wall of shame includes photos from hundreds of carnivores who have downed the now retired 104 ounce King Cut.

The biggest question in most peoples mind (besides is he still alive) is “wow! how many calories is that?” Well, we’ve boiled that down for you in the following nutritional facts label that should accompany the plate. These values were calculated using a 10 ounce serving  data for Prime Rib Steak. Keep in mind, the 160 ounce Extreme cut is “bone in”  and includes a pound or two of bone and fat which of course you do not have to eat.

Other interesting extreme eating videos:
Watch Furious Pete Czerwinski break the world time record for downing a sizzling hot 72 ounce steak in 7 minutes, a total of 10 minutes for potato & salad.

Nutritional Facts for the Black Otter Supper Club’s 106 Ounce Prime Rib:

Serving size: 160 Ounces

Calories: 15,569
Calories from Fat: 11, 376

Total Carbs: 149g (Hey it’s low carb!)
Fiber: 32g (but you’ll need more fiber to push that baby through!)
Protein: 848g

All calculations are based on nutritional data of a 10 oz portion and simply multiplied out.

Harley Davison 105th Anniversary Celebration

The Three Packer Stooges? In remains to be seen.

Waffling aside, if your MVP Quarterback wants to return after getting you one play from the Super Bowl, do you:
A: Welcome him back?
B: Make Lame Excuses to Not Welcome him Back?
C: Try to Pay him $20 million to stay retired?
D: Trade him to another Team?
E: None of the Above.

The current Green Bay Packer management has choosen B, C and now appears to be trying option D. This situation is WAY out of control. The general feeling among everyone that we have spoken to is the they have ALL lost any respect for these three clowns, and when that happens in Green Bay, you might as well GO PACK, your bags! If egos could have been left on the sideline, Brett Favre would be back on the team and all would be well with the world. This fiasco seems to have sent ripples of disruption throughout the entire NFL and even the world. The pieces are all over the floor and the public is going to want to know EXACTLY who caused this mess and why. I doubt the lame excuses we have heard so far will stand up in the court of public opinion. These three stooges need to remember who owns that team! If Roger’s lays an egg on Monday Night Football next week, heads will roll! For more discussion, see the Packer Forum.

UPDATE:
A change of heart has occurred between the time Favre left Green Bay and up until about 10 minutes ago. I have been learned that Favre has AGAIN waffled his way past training camp with the Vikings and is on his plane at this moment in a rumored attempt to sign with the “Queens”.  I would hope Brad Childress is smart enough to turn him down, but I doubt it.
IMHO, the Packer’s defensive line should place a bounty on Favre’s head to retire him once and for all, kind of like the late Charles Martin and his hit list on Da Bears Jim McMahon in the 86 season.
I am hearing already of Favre jersey & memorabilia burning parties right before the October 5th and November 1st games. I have lost all respect for Brett Favre.

UPDATE: October 6th 2009
Favre gets his revenge against Ted Thompson, so maybe old Teds decision was bad to begin with. There HAS to be more to this story than meets the eye. It looks like Favre was driven out of Green Bay, probably because he wanted too much of a hand in making managerial decisions, which Teds tiny ego could not handle.

Fire Ted Thompson NOW!

Thompson & McCarthy

If Brett gets traded, I’d personally love to see him go all the way with whatever team he winds up with sending Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy down the river and responsible for the worst managment decision in Packer history. They both need to be fired!
The August 5th press conference with McCarthy was yet another joke, and it’s obvious he’s not telling us everything. Many websites are calling for their heads. savebrett.net and bringbackbrettfavre.com are two of the biggest.
The only distraction (the Packers excuse for not welcoming Favre back) has been the hoopla they are creating themselves by dragging this out. The fans are getting pissed off! Will rioting in the streets be next?
It’s totally ridiculous and Packer management is fast becoming the biggest joke in the NFL. Yes, it’s only football but they’re killing the local legend name Brett Favre.

UPDATE: See the official response from the Green Bay Packers organization.

In an unrelated development, former Packers General Manager Ron Wolf has purchased a home in Green Bay and will be moving back to the area once his Annapolis, MD home is sold.  The move is said to not be related to any involvement within the Packers organization. Welcome Back Ron!
