OK, we can’t pass this up
Wednesday, Aug 3, 2011 - Posted by Rich Miller * Yes, we’ve been doing a lot of caption contests lately. But, hey, it’s summer. We need a fun outlet. And this should do the trick. Here’s Gov. Pat Quinn wearing a Packers jersey and stocking groceries at a food pantry to settle his NFL Championship game bet with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker…  * Roundup…
* Raw tape…

Hmmmm….Maybe we should increased the tax on packaged food in Illinois…
- Dirty Red - Wednesday, Aug 3, 11 @ 5:44 am:
Gov. Quinn discovered today there is more food at a Wisconsin pantry than there is in his Chicago refrigerator.

“Mmmmm……ramen!”

Wasn’t the bet, that he’d wear a Bambi costume in Oct.? Maybe I’m dreaming.

This stinks, why do the frinken Packers have to have green for their colors? I look like an AFSCME member standing in the rotunda.
- OneMan - Wednesday, Aug 3, 11 @ 7:22 am:
This is ramen, mighty ramen, ramen that may have been made in part from fine Illinois soy, you know I have been a big proponent of soy, a fine bean, a bean that can do mighty things. Look there is some Captain Crunch, good man the Captain, I have asked the department of agriculture to work on improving our crop of crunchberrys…

You gotta taste my macaroni. It’s the cheesiest.

Ramen noodles–I seem to recall that I had those in my refrigerator once–maybe 5 or 6 years ago, or was it longer?

Despite his best efforts, Pat Quinn keeps his word.

“If you didn’t know better, you’d think it’s another Pat Quinn flip-flop. But on this occasion, it’s actually Governor Quinn keeping his word. Governor Quinn is repaying a bet from last football season but, as usuall, his payment is exceptionally late.”

Deep into the heart of enemy territory, disguised as a native, the governor’s not so secret plan to find a way to tax WI residents is underway.

Quinn searches for the macaroni and cheese with his picture on the box, which due to his agreement with Kraft, is the only boxed food he is allowed to serve.

Uh, maybe this guys IP address should be passed to the ISP.

Sadly the definitive answer would understandably not pass Rich’s family filter, but would refer to a certain famous SNL music video starring Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg.

Pat Quinn plans to test out the Workers’ Comp reforms after throwing out his back while lifting a box of ramen noodles.

Just sayin’ has added a new, and valid, angle to the discussion.
- Miss Marie - Wednesday, Aug 3, 11 @ 11:09 am:
Later, Quinn was caught trying to sneak out some of the ramen in Betsy. He was heard mumbling something about his empty fridge and was willing to show a picture as proof.
- JBilla - Wednesday, Aug 3, 11 @ 11:18 am:
They call him Mr. Touchdown!

“Maybe if I shopped here my fridge wouldn’t be empty.”
or
“Another Illinois governor in uniform in Wisconsin doing community service.”
or
“So this is what a food pantry looks like in a state that pays it’s service providers.”

Hey, that roach has a yellow head!

Cheeseheads report to the food pantry for decontamination procedures, STAT!
- Mr. Ethics - Wednesday, Aug 3, 11 @ 12:41 pm:
Why a #75 Baluga jersey, Bulaga means surprise. Oh! just like my tax and toll increases.
- OneMan - Wednesday, Aug 3, 11 @ 12:44 pm:
“Another Illinois governor in uniform in Wisconsin doing community service.” — Ironically, the federal pen in Oxford WI is not that far (same town) as a Boy Scout Camp, someday if God has a sense of humor I will encounter Rod on a service day (they use prisoners to do work at the camp from time to time)…
Too bad the scouts don’t have a haircare merit badge, he would be perfect to lead that.
- Ironic? - Wednesday, Aug 3, 11 @ 12:56 pm:
In true form it took the Gov. of Illinois more than six months to pay off his bet

JL, if the comment was about Bambi’s mother, then I would consider it. Bambi lived.

In an interview Governor Quinn said,” I would have done this sooner but Governor Walker’s failure to honor the signed agreement with his union employees made it diff….what?…that was me?….(clears throat)…In the Land of Lincoln our food pantries are also an important source of……what?…they closed?…lack of funding?… Who did that? …..me again? ….

Pat Quinn wears a Packers jersey and stocks groceries at a food pantry to settle his bet with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. Many state workers harmed by Walker’s policies are expected to visit the pantry. In a related event, Gov. Walker will soon visit an Illinois pantry and cook meals for Illinois workers harmed by Quinn’s anti-government worker policies.
- What's in a name? - Wednesday, Aug 3, 11 @ 5:35 pm:
Quinn to himself, “This isn’t so bad. If I lose the election I can get a job. Now I have experience. The cameras have to be good for business. That’s it, I am asking for an application just in case…. jeesh, its better that what Rod and George are doing, what do they get 13 cents an hour, I bet this pays minimum wage. Yeah, I knew this governor thing would lead to good things…Hell, I didn’t lose a bet, I won an opportunity.”
