that was a great question. after all these years, i guess i'd never even thought about it. i had no idea wtf it meant. http://www.packers.com/history/birth-of-a-team-and-a-legend.html ginny is right. lions, bears, and vikings are tough. stock clerks?
I made some edit's to this to make it historically correct: First they talked Lambeau's employer -- a war-time industry called the Indian Fudge Packing Company, where he worked as a fudge packing clerk for $250/month -- into putting up money for jerseys. Because the company provided gay strippers and permitted the use of its athletic field for practice, the club was identified in its early publicity as a project of the company. With this tie-in, the name "Fudge Packers" was a natural fit but they decided to shorten it, and Packers they have been ever since, although the Indian Fudge Packing Company had practically faded out of the picture before that first season was half over.
There hasn't been enough about the Packer's sucking lately. So, the Packers suck. And my 10 month old took her first steps over the weekend! And I got to see them along with my husband, my parents, my Grandma and my Great Aunt. (She then said the Packers suck in baby talk ...ok maybe I made that part up.) But I'm sure if she could talk she would say the Packers suck.
My son is only 18 months, and while he can't SAY "touchdown Bears" he knows that's a great thing. He gets excited and yells "FOOTBALL" when a game comes on. Sadly, he has not yet embraced the hatred of the Packers. But he will, as they do suck. It's a law, like gravity.
My four year old son makes me a very proud dad. When we moved into our new house last December I let him choose what color to paint his room. He told me, "Blue and Orange like the Bears!" So I painted his room Navy Blue with Orange and White stripes along the top and the middle of the walls. I also got him some FatHeads to put on the walls. It looks pretty sweet if you ask me. I'll post some pics of it when I have the time. I don't have any on my computer here. Also, if the Packers happen to be on (sometimes I like to watch the other divisional games when the Bears aren't on) he tells me to turn that trash off. He says if he ever meets a Packer he's going to throw them in the trash, lol. Kids are crazy.
The Packers really suck now, when was the last time you couldn't name their starting QB? I saw him play Sunday and have no idea what his name is. Maybe they should rename the team the Green Bay Rodgers because without him they look like the Jaguars.
And even more evidence that the Packers Suck is that only 2 people have picked them to win this week from our Pick 'Em Contest. That's irrefutable evidence right there ... right?
Certain, inarguable, incontestable, incontrovertible, indisputable, indubitable, irrefagable, unchallengeable, undeniable and frickin unquestionable! That about sums it up.
If you know your proposition expressed by saying the Packers "suck" to be true, then that suffices to make my statement true. If, on the other hand, your statement were to be judged untrue, then it was a leap on my behalf to presume the arguably obvious.
In the attempt to understand all things Canadian I offer this one to my Canadian brothers and sisters ??????????????? Mom Fined Over School Lunch Not Having Grains Mom ponies up $10?all because her lunch didn't involve Ritz crackers by: Kaitlin Stanford 48 When Kristen Bartkiw of Manitoba, Canada, sent her kids off to day care with a home-cooked meal for lunch, the last thing she probably expected was to be slapped with a $10 fine?and a note that said her kids had been given Ritz crackers. (You know, to make up for her lunch's lack of nutritional value.) But that's exactly what seems to have happened. Bartkiw packed a meal of roast beef, potatoes, and carrots, followed up by some fruit for desert. She even gave them milk instead of juice as a drink. Problem is, none of those items are considered a grain?and that goes against school policy. As the rules state, if kids are not buying a school lunch, parents must pack one that contains milk, meat, grains and two fruits or veggies. If not, parents are fined $5 per item, per child. (Yikes!) Spotting that Bartkiw's kids' lunches were missing a grain, school administrators "supplemented" the lunches by giving them a handful of Ritz crackers. (Because really, if mom won't give them an over-processed "grain" for lunch, who will?) Needless to say, mom was unhappy. As she later quipped to the blog Weighty Matters, it might have been better if she'd just sent her kids with a "microwave Kraft Dinner and a hot dog, a package of fruit twists, a Cheestring, and a juice box." Maybe so. But she wasn't the only parent to get miffed about the whole policy. Weighty Matters has since updated its post on the story to say that since the lunch fiasco went down, other parents complained as well, leading the school to change to a hot lunch program that Bartkiw says is "great." ...all's well that ends well?
