I am the King!

Have you noticed the Burger King marketing style recently? Well - maybe not recently. I have noticed for a while that they put cool, hip sayings on most everything. Like - "This cup can also be used as a megaphone. Just punch out the bottom, bring to your mouth, and PROJECT!" If you don't have kids, you might not have noticed the Burger King crowns. There is good information inside the crown concerning the rules for being "The King."





So the next time you are having a Whopper - make sure you declare "I am the King" (in some kind of cool accent). And watch out for the Coup d'Etat!

Going Fishing? Need Bait?

Here is something you don't see everyday in Portland, Oregon.

This is a live bait vending machine. We saw this at a gas station about a 1/4 mile from where Brian grew up in Arbor Vitae, Wisconsin when we were visiting Brian's parents last September. The choices were earthworms, medium and large leeches, and premium nightcrawlers.


So if you are on your way to an early morning fishing spot and stop at the gas station to fill up the boat gas tank, no bait shops are open, and you couldn't find the shovel to dig in the backyard - you're covered.

Here is the location of the bait machine....just in case you are in the area. I'm not sure if it is year round feature - those ice fishermen might prefer live, warm worms...instead of the backyard, permafrosted, frozen wormsicles.
