Get yourself as confused as Brett Favre

By MJD

If you're looking to plan a vacation sometime in September or October, might I suggest Schultz's Country Barn in Wisconsin? I mean, you could go somewhere where you don't need a parka and a ski mask, but ask yourself this: Where else can you pay tribute to Brett Favre and corn at the same time?

Of course, the people at the Schultz Country Barn put this plan in motion before any of the current "Waaah, I can't make a decision" controversy came into existence. Not nearly as many Wisconsiners are eager to thank Brett Favre now, but fortunately, the Schultz people left room to carve, "FOR STABBING US IN THE BACK, EGOMANIAC" under the "THANKS."

More info on the great Brett Favre '08 Corn Maze can be found here.

    Lame, but necessary comment: it's "Wisconsinites."
    You know people are picky about this stuff. Just try calling a person from Michigan a "Michiganian" instead of their proper moniker, "Michigander."

    I guess I can't disagree with that. I guess we'll go with a two-tiered system - "good" persons-from-WI are Wisconsinites, while "bad" persons are Wisconsinners.
    I'm not prepared to say which one I am.

    Brett didnt turn his back on anyone ! If anything its the green bay team that should be welcoming brett back with open arms even if it was a week before regular season.. He has carried that franchize through good and bad years and is the sole reason that the green bay community is so involved with that team!

    MJD-I think that you alone are doing the stabbing.
    Hey, its a fine tribute to a Hall of Fame player.
    Thanks for giving it some media attention.
    You know, we will all forget about these recent Favre events...but we will all watch his great moments in NFL history for years to come.

    Looks like mjd's last functioning brain cell is starting to go now too... I guess he doesn't know that most Wisconsinites actually love Brett Favre and would love to see him back. By the way 2 days ago he received several standing ovations at the Packer Hall of Fame inductions were he was introducing a former teammate.
