The Case of the Krazy-Glued Penis added another chapter to the sordid tale yesterday, as the glue-ee'ed man testified about the attack. Four women are charged with luring him to a Wisconsin motel room, restraining him and then assaulting him with fixative - and he faced down those women, one of which was his wife, as he discussed the attack in court yesterday. The rabbit hole of this story just keeps getting deeper - the full report from CBN is here but some newer gems from Mr. Krazy-wang include bondage discussions, that two of the women were sisters, and if you want to send us that shiny nickel we wagered here about the "allright vs. uh-oh" possibilities...yeah, it was exactly like that.

We know Oscar Mayer’s first and last name, but do we know his insurance policy number?

Ah, I-94. It's construction season. Again. As part of our penance for trying to flee to the northern climes (Lake Geneva, anyone?) during the sweltering summer, we'll be forced to sit on hot asphalt, in bumper-to-bumper traffic staring longingly off the highway. Why? Because it's time for a major highway expansion and modification north of the border. How big? Well, they're making "Are we there yet?" landmark Mars Cheese Castle move from its iconic location - 100 feet further from the roadway.

Among the many reasons New Glarus beers are held in high regard is their attention to detail. From research to bottle, Dan Carey brews some amazing beers. One of our favorites is so good that if you poured it to some unsuspecting drinkers, they might mistake it for a sparkling rosé.

                 

It's simply a shame that New Glarus Brewing doesn't distribute their product to Illinois. The official line from New Glarus is that they had a hard enough time keeping up with demand in their home state of Wisconsin; the Carey's decision to leave Illinois was made easier when their former local distributor was merged into Southern Wine and Spirits seven years ago and SWS asked for $20,000 from the Careys to opt out of their distribution agreement (source). 'Course, that hasn't stopped some local establishments from bringing in New Glarus' offerings. We've had our share of Raspberry Tart at Delilah's, and one of the early selling points of the Burlington — besides Tankboy's incessant pimping of the place (kidding, Jim) was the poorly kept secret that their "house beer" was Spotted Cow on draft.

It looks everyone’s favorite Olympic events, mountain biking and road cycling, could take place in Madison and Mt. Horeb, Wis. if Chicago wins the 2016 Summer Games. Hey, at least it’s not table tennis. But it turns out the cheese-head state is a cycling hot spot that offers more competitive courses than Chicago. Sadly, it’s doubtful that moving the events to Wisconsin will significantly lessen the economic troubles looming for Chicago taxpayers.
