All New Things
Kelly was off with a friend today getting a few things for the new place. That left Luc, Ben and I to cruise through town like 3 rebels without a cause. They wanted to run riot, find girls and party till potty time. I was happy just cruising around in the truck like a bird on a clear blue day.
For a pretty average day we sure did have some interesting moments. I mean, driving to get some lunch, find a toy store and fill in whatever hours were left proved quite entertaining in the end.
1. Drive through ATM’s.
Possibly the greatest drive through invention so far. Now instead of just being mugged while you get your cash out, you can be car jacked aswell. No seriously, it makes so much sense I don’t know why we don’t have that at home. To get cash out at home you have to stop, find a park, walk to the bank get your money and waste 15 minutes in the process. Score one USA.
2. Need a Campervan?
Or proof that Packers tickets are hard to find?
Step one in finding tickets for their games here in Green Bay is that you have to find someone willing to sell you some. Step two is to sit down before you ask how much your friendly scalper would like for them for fear of cracking your skull when you fall. And Step 3 is to decide whether or not you can afford to part with the cash you worked oh so hard to get for 4 hours of football and not much else.
Well now here’s a deal that’s just too good to refuse. The owner of this campervan in Ashwaubenon has decided to throw it in as a bonus for purchasing his tickets. There’s not a scalper in the country that would do that I’m certain. Sure the tickets are $56,000 but you get a FREE CAMPERVAN. That is totally cool. Definitely score one to this clever cookie.
3. McDonalds in Green Bay
Now I know this might shock some of you, particularly seeing as this is our 6th week here but today was our first trip to the “Golden Arches”. Not very spectacular I know but this is Green Bay and what do almost all of Green Bay restaurants have in common? Yes, their football / Packer plastered walls. Not McDonalds though. “No way” I thought. I was wrong. Even McDonalds has Packer gear all over the walls. I for one thought this was awesome. Not even the original, multibillion dollar, worldwide, empire that is McDonalds can escape the clutches of our Green Bay Packers and everything they stand for. If it weren’t for the food they get a ‘score one’ aswell
I also had a run-in with a fast food attendant who couldn’t understand my Aussie accent. She said it was because I wasn’t talking “American”. I didn’t know there was such a language? Any the irony of that statement? I was a burger shop ordering a Large Coke. Are there any two more American words than large and coke?
As for the rest of the day we fixed up our little home, had a deliciously made home cooked meal from our new, larger kitchen and watched way too much SpongeBob Square Pants whilst we wait desperately for our cable to be installed at the end of the week.
