  16. You guys might not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one-man wolf pack. But when my sister brought Ron home, I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack…it grew by one. So there…there were two of us in the wolf pack…I was alone first in the pack, and then Ron joined in later. And six months ago, when Ron introduced me to you, I thought, “Wait a second, could it be?” And now I know for sure, I just added another guy to my wolf pack. Three of us wolves, running around the state fair together, in Springfield, looking for strippers and cocaine.

    Comment by MrGrassroots Thursday, Aug 14, 14 @ 2:10 pm

  42. Dear Diary,

    I am so glad Bruce allowed me to come to Springfield. There are so many cool stories from today.

    I used to think Mr. Clean was just a made up cartoon, like Squeezy. He’s actually based on this guy named Ron Something-or-other.

    And who knew “The Big Lebowski” is actually a documentary about this dude “Rich”? He knows all the best watering holes in Springfield, too.

    This place rocks.

  60. The Good, the Bad, the Hottie

    Comment by Arizona Bob Thursday, Aug 14, 14 @ 3:13 pm

  61. You’d figure if Rich is at the State Fair, it’s got to be close to a beer tent, with a band playing. And Rich, please don’t take this too personal but they do make Grecian formula for beards. Just a suggestion you know, thinking out loud. Unless you want to look like Jerry Garcia then you will need love beads, granny glasses and a tie-dye shirt. Oswego Willy probably has an extra pair of everything. See if you can borrow it from him.

    Comment by Ginhouse Tommy Thursday, Aug 14, 14 @ 3:14 pm

  62. It looks like the room mates on a new reality television program “Chatham Nights” or “Lake Springfield Shore.”

  66. === Soccermom - Thursday, Aug 14, 14 @ 3:28 pm:

    OneMan — pretty, pretty good…===

    Just curious. This sounds like a line a sophisticated woman like you might use when she’s ditchin’ a guy. Yeah?

    Comment by A guy... Thursday, Aug 14, 14 @ 3:31 pm

  67. “See, Evelyn, I told you Santa Claus was real.”

    Comment by Six Degrees of Separation Thursday, Aug 14, 14 @ 4:35 pm

  71. Thanks Norseman.

    Rich made it easy with the tie dye and conspicuous shades.

    Sandack — after the Primary he just had, The Butcher seems fitting, aka Gangs of New York. I imagine his next primary challenger will be never.

    Comment by Yellow Dog Democrat Thursday, Aug 14, 14 @ 4:42 pm

    Comment by OurMagician Thursday, Aug 14, 14 @ 5:05 pm

  76. I can’t decide if Rich looks like Al Hirt, the Dixie land trumpet player or Sebastian Cabot, the butler from the sitcom Family Affair.

    Comment by Ginhouse Tommy Thursday, Aug 14, 14 @ 5:34 pm

  77. A rose between two thorns.

    Comment by Enviros-Anon Thursday, Aug 14, 14 @ 5:39 pm

  81. “Now here’s how the ‘game’ works; the guy on the left yells loud ‘watch out for that step! That step, lookout!’. The middle guy, a ‘bystander’ watches, as the woman on the left slips and falls.

    To capture them, we are calling the sting ‘Operation Cow Patty’ We will lure these three to the Budweiser Tent. Agents will be the band playing, and the servers.

    When they enter the tent, you will hear ‘Oswego’. The code name for the woman is ‘Sue’, the men are ‘Warbucks’ and ‘Oscar’.

    Don’t move in until you hear the Agent in Charge say ‘Magic’.

    Once ‘Magic’ is happening, swoop in.”

    Comment by Oswego Willy Thursday, Aug 14, 14 @ 6:41 pm

  84. We need a new golf cart video.

    Comment by john a logan Thursday, Aug 14, 14 @ 10:34 pm

  85. @Streator Curmudgeon, you had the wrong Blues Bros. guitarist. Steve Cropper is more of a look alike to the guy in the middle than Matt Guitar Murphy.

    Comment by Six Degrees of Separation Thursday, Aug 14, 14 @ 10:46 pm

  86. ===We need a new golf cart video.===

    Took one today. I’ll post it in January, when we’re all freezing and miserable and missing the Fair.
