re: What is the funniest text ever sent to you that was meant for someone else?

Posted by 32footsteps on 5/7/26 at 10:43 am to Perfect Circle

It was sent to me by my mom. Not intended for anyone else it’s just that autocorrect jumped up and bit her.

The very first text she ever sent was supposed to say:

“I’m going to kick your father’s arse.”

It autocorrected to:
“I’m going to lick your father’s arse.”

My response was “what was that?”

She immediately called me and told me what she intended to text.

She didn’t send a text to anyone for six years after this.

He’s announced he’s running for governor.

He’s doing this to get people to give him money. He won’t run a legit campaign, he’ll keep the money.

The grift never ends with this a-hole.

A recent discussion about this jackass is here: Other thread

I provide info on this idiot there including a personal connection so I won’t regurgitate all of that again.

Important thing to highlight…he does not brew his own beer. He contracts it to an actual brewery in Illinois. He’s burned bridges with breweries in Wisconsin. Failure to pay, bad press, etc.

A guy in the town where I live has some neat stuff. His daughter goes to the same school that mine does. On Monday he picked his kid up in a 1957 Nash Metropolitan. Yesterday it was a 1952 Kaiser Wilhelm. Today he picked her up in one of the two hearses he has.

apparently his wife died. Shame it didn't get him too.

His wife died in 2018 of lung cancer. They were only married for a few years (after her diagnosis) and he was cheating on her the entire time.

As I stated above, he does post on Reddit and other social media sites. He’ll create multiple users and rave about how wonderful he is to drive up traffic and views. If there are any negative reviews he enlists the help of those alteregos and goes after them hardcore.

If you leave a negative review on Facebook he’ll pull up personal pics of the person who gave the bad review and harass him/her and their kids reposting the pictures with defamatory comments. He’ll make them with his account and with alters.

Right now his beer is contracted out to Church Street Brewing in Itasca, Illinois. He doesn’t make his own beer. He’s been having someone else do it. On one offering his cans say that it is laced with the Covid vaccine.

There’s a planned protest in Minocqua this Saturday at noon. Tons of info on FB about it. The “Back the Badge Wisconsin” Facebook page has a bunch of into about this jackass on it. They posted his cell phone number if you want to give him a call.

Admittedly, I’m relatively new to Madison. Moved here a couple years ago for work. Thanks for the background on that POS. I have noticed that the brewery tap room here never seems to be busy, it’s in a terrible location. This controversy will probably sink him for good. At least I hope so. I can say, if I am ever in a situation where I am in person with that turd, I’ll let him know what I think of him. Whatever happens after that is on him.

It won’t sink him unless he ends up in jail and even then I have my doubts.

As I said before, he lures people in to donate to him based on shared politics. They realize he’s a jackass and distance themselves. Then a new crop hears about him, donate to him based on shared politics, and realize he’s a jackass. It’s been a never ending cycle for a few years now.

About a decade ago my niece took a summer job at his place in Minocqua. When his wife was still alive it was reputable. It was his wife’s dream and vision that opened the place up in the first place. I never went there myself but the business was at least legit. Once his wife got sick and she was no longer running the place it went to hell. He’d offer coke to female employees to have sex with him all while his wife was fighting cancer.

My niece worked just a couple of days and simply stopped showing up. She was tipped off by friends of hers that in all likelihood she would be one of his targets. So she said screw it and got a different job. She dodged a bullet with that one.

I’m not from Madison but lived there for a couple of years after getting married. The moment the pee stick came back positive we were looking to get the hell out of that town. Moved about half an hour away and couldn’t be happier. We pay less than half in taxes for two acres, a 3400 sq ft house, five car heated unattached garage, two car heated attached garage, and a couple of outbuildings than we did for our 1100 square foot Madison house on 0.19 acres and no garages or other outbuildings.

Yeah, these frickers are leftist commie scum in Madison. They had all kinds of profane and ignorant signs in their windows during the No Kings protests. The owners TDS is off the charts.

The fun part is that he’s pissed off a lot of them as well. It’s the leftists who don’t know what he’s about who support him. Then they find out and are made to look like idiots.

He’s not originally from Madison. Most of his squabbles occurred in Minocqua and that area is definitely not Madison. He was getting support from folks in Madison so he tried to set up a beer garden in Madison. At first many were excited about it but then he rubbed them the wrong way and got a lot of resistance from other leftist lunatics. They found out the level of his grifting ways.

As for social media stuff…
He’ll delete anything remotely negative off of his own pages and he’ll use multiple aliases speaking highly of himself on Facebook, Reddit, etc. He’s primarily talking to himself anytime you see praiseworthy comments. When people unaware of his shenanigans look at his socials they won’t be able to grasp the level of disdain for this idiot. All they’ll see is that he’s a wonderful guy who is getting picked on.

This guy is a top notch chode wrangler.

Plenty of lefties can’t stand the guy.

He doesn’t make his own beer. He contracts it out then stiffs the brewer who makes it. He starts crap up, ten claims he is being harassed, asks for donations and idiots give him money. He then uses those donations to fund whatever he wants.

He’ll claim to be all for immigrants but he’ll hire them and give them “housing.” The housing consists of unheated houses that should be abandoned, no running water, etc. When places like that are condemned for obvious reasons, he’ll blow the horn of “the local government hates immigrants,” then he’ll ask for money to support them but won’t stick a dime into improving their living conditions. It goes into his pocket.

In 2020 when Covid shut everything down he pulled the same crap. Woe is me, my business is going to fail, please give me money to keep it going. He took off for Costa Rica for a few months and took surfing lessons.

When his wife was dying of cancer there were many, many accusations against him of doing untoward things to his female staff. Once again, woe is me, my wife is dying, give me money so we can cover medical costs and keep the business going. Into his pockets it went.

There are many, many, many more examples of crappy stuff this jerkoff has done but he still finds people to grift.

Three plus decades later the one party that people still talk about wasn’t some random letter in a woods or a cornfield. It was a party a friend and I organized at his parents house where no alcohol was present. We set up a dozen or so TVs and VCRs and had every muppet movie and episodes of the muppet show playing on them.

We both loved the muppets and still do. We did this as sort of a let’s pick something enjoyable and ridiculous to anchor a gathering to mock those who drank in fields and quarries. The turnout was incredible and we had kids showing up from neighboring towns. It’s still brought up frequently.

Timely thread. Just the other day I picked up Goldwater’s autobiography at a used bookstore. It will be my next read as soon as I finished my current book. Should be interesting.

With no Apologies?”

I have a signed copy of that somewhere. Another good one is called “Pure Goldwater.” This one isn’t as much of an autobiography but more of his personal writings, letters, and speeches.

Years ago I bought my dad a t-shirt with a picture of Goldwater that said “Don’t blame me, I voted for Goldwater.” He’d wear that to county fairs in Wisconsin and stand next to the democrat party booth at all of those fairs.

My kidneys are gravel factories. Now I can sense when I have them before pain. Lemon water, citric acid, etc works to dissolve mine.

There are two types. The rarer type would require you to cut back on protein. So dairy, red meats, etc. Thankfully I don’t have that type. I’d rather suck start a shotgun than give up red meat and cheese.

re: Ideas: best or most memorable wedding gift you received

Posted by 32footsteps on 4/12/26 at 8:40 pm to financetiger

This was a gift given to a guy who used to work for me.

The first time he met his future wife’s parents he plugged up a toilet in the future in-laws bathroom. He had to call out to his future wife from the bathroom to get him a plunger. He was very embarrassed.

For his wedding I gave him a plunger with a box on the end and the handle wrapped tightly around it. It was obvious what it was. What wasn’t obvious was that I unwrapped a bag of tootsie rolls and stuffed them inside of the box with the head of the plunger.
