That’s just because of Lake Winnebago.

And to get this back on track(?) – here’s Ronald Reagan being presented a pair of Oshkosh B’Gosh overalls when visiting Oshkosh WISCONSIN in 1985.

I think there should be bonus points to those that wear denim overalls on this ride… and bonus bonus points if paired with just a white t-shirt underneath.

I’d do it. I’m serious that I was looking recently. Any leads on where to even buy overalls around here? Used to be I could just drive my big ol cheese head over to a Fleet Farm.

I see plenty at the thrift stores.

We were more of a Farm & Fleet family, ourselves (it was closer).

Outside of thrift shops: JC Penny/Sears/Walmart carry some, but most likely you’d have to order online for in-store pickup or shipping to your home.

LSG is totally going to win this ride.

Fun Fact: This ride will roll out roughly 12 hours after I roll off of my flight home from Japan. Despite this I am so there, and ride marshalling! (Nothing helps with jet-lag like forcing yourself to spend the day outside on the local schedule). As such, I am a maybe on the pancakes.

So long as I’m not falling asleep by that point, I’m looking forward to the museum visit. Can there be an informal meal/beer afterward?

The best part of this photo is the bro waving(?) to the robot.

We’ll expect you to marshall in Japanese, then…. Or at least bring us a few cool words, willya? [emoji16]

That is categorically false. We’ve even rejected their errant seabirds. After all, nobody likes “Green Bay gulls.”

And you’ve got it Nadine! I can do all of the marshal commands in Japanese, but I was originally thinking of holding onto that until I do the “Sushi Roll Ride” I’m tentatively planning on organizing in early March. ^_~

Fun fact since Kitty is currently in Japan: on January 8th, 1992, President George H Bush tossed his cookies into the lap of the Japanese Prime Minister at a state dinner before fainting. The Japanese coined the term Bushu-suru which means “to do the Bush thing.”

There will be no Bushu-suru on the President’s Day Ride.

I wish they all could be California gulls.

I have a Cheesehead like that! I even have a cheese-wedge saddle pack for my spare tube. I think Green Bay Gulls are great!
But here is another version I will add to the BAGELNEURING Pointless Prize– Green Bagels:[ATTACH=CONFIG]16877[/ATTACH] edelweiss, from WSICONSIN

I hope everyone appropriately celebrated Abraham Lincoln’s 209th birthday today. Although Illinois is known as the Land of Lincoln, he wasn’t born there. Come join the President’s Day ride and find out how the White Snakeroot plant may have been responsible for Lincoln’s migration to Illinois.

Oh the things you learn when researching for a President’s Day Ride:

“Erotomania is a type of delusional disorder where the affected person believes that another person is in love with him or her. This belief is usually applied to someone with higher status or a famous person, but can also be applied to a complete stranger.”
