Steve

The old adage has it that everyone has his 15 minutes of fame. Some dress like Batman and scale the Royal Residence, some create world records by eating hot dogs.

I now stand to claim my minutes, so join with me in the celebration. Others may do foolish things to earn headlines, but not me. With no thought for my own safety, I took direct steps to make the world a better place.
Yesterday, UW-Rock County hosted a soccer match with UW-Baraboo. During the first half I approached the visiting section and began touting a member of their own community. I told them that if they ever should see a certain name on any ballot to place their vote there. I stated that that man's name was Lance Burri and that he would make Baraboo, Sauk County, Wisconsin, the USA, and the world a safer, smarter place.
Lance, you may get up to 4 more votes in your next race because of my courage.
The fame was fabulous while it lasted! Thank yew, thank yew very much.

Wow. Four people were attending the game? Soccer's popularity is really taking off.

Lance, you don't understand. The Baraboo fans did not know that the stadium was sold out and no one was even scalping that day. Most of them ended up at a local bar and watched it on ESPN.
