HOLY COW! No one's ever called us 'classy' before. Cheesy maybe, but Classy!?
The New York Times said it? WOW! The cow DID jump over the moon!
The old Grey Lady must have fallen (and can't get up). 'She couldn't find Green Bay even if the playoffs were being played at New York's New Home in New Jersey.
The closest she'd EVER come to Green Bay might be Greenwich Village or maybe, Greenwich CT. To the New York Times, Green Bay is as fictional as Forrest Gump's "greenbowalaBAMA!"
The Times must be trolling for subscriptions in the Heartland or, maybe they're actually on to something! Compared to New York; compared to the rest of the league, Green Bay fans ARE a class act! We're friendly; we open doors for strangers; we say, Thank You.
I think a Pulitizer Prize-type story is in the works...
I hope Jayson Blair doesn't get assigned the follow-up story. He - definitely - would visit Fictional Greenbow instead of Green Bay!
Maureen Dowd would be a good writer to follow up. Unlike a lotta NYTimes reporters, she already knows a lot about Wisconsin!
"The home of brats and beer bellies," she wrote in one of her opinion pieces. Maureen would be great! She sounds like a Homer; a Yooper; a CheeseHead! She's up on all the cuisine and recreational opportunities around here. She wouldn't have to make it up like Jayson would.
Paul Krugman might be a good. He can spell Wisconsin (but his geography gets a little fuzzy west of the Hudson River. Last February he wrote, "Here’s a thought: maybe Madison, Wis., isn’t Cairo after all. Maybe it’s Baghdad?")
Hmmm...Maybe we don't want Krugman doing the story. He probably thinks Green Bay IS Green Bow - or Madison is anyway! He'd never find us!
Regardless of who the media sends, there will be a LOT of New Yorkers in Green Bay this weekend! To keep up our classy image, we'll probably have to get out the good silver! (At $30 an ounce, we might rethink that strategy...in a New York Minute the dish, the forks, the knives, the little sterling napkin holders will all "run away" with the spoons.)
Maybe, we'll go OUT for fish! Maybe, some brats on the barbie at home (if Maureen is coming)!
AND, we'll definitely have to cut the Good Cheese! (And only a true, classy cheesehead knows what cutting the cheese means!)
OPEN INVITATION to any New York Times reporter:
If you need a fairly-classy place to stay for a classy weekend with the Classy Peeps in Green Bay (BOTH of the classy hotel rooms in town are already GONE this weekend!), you can stay at our house. Visit some real classy, down to earth people. We'll show you a great time! (If Krugman shows up, we'll show him where Madison is!)
If you need a place stay, comment on THIS blog, OK?
We'll party 'till the cows come home!

Oh, well, if the NY Times says it, it must be so. :-)
I'll take that as a compliment, Cathy. Thank you. (We are a classy bunch up here on the Tundra!)
