I’m Art Kumbalek and man oh manischewitz what a world, ain’a? So listen, right now for me it’s late Tuesday after noon, Aug. 5. Brett Favre.
The
powers-that-be at this newspaper demanded that I cut short my holiday
hiatus up there nearby 30-miles north of Hayward (Town of Barnes for
you’s nit pickers), situated in the state of near extreme northwestern
Badgerland.
Brett
Favre. I arrived in town moments ago sans TV-news helicopter coverage
of my return to our fair city via Greyhound Bus (apparently cooler, and
attached, heads, prevailed).
As
a card-carrying aficionado and occasional yeoman with the liberal print
media, I am journalistically implored to inform you that I am right
here, right now, but moments away from the revered ink-stained deadline.
Brett Favre.
And
so rather than the reasoned and researched essay I would otherwise provide you’s with vis-a-vis Favre-orama, I have only the time to flip
your way some thing like one of these blogs you might find on that Wide
World Interweb. I can’t promise this brief effort will contain as many
misspelled words, piss-poor punctuation, factual-bullshit inaccuracies
not to mention heebie-jeebie hysteria as you’re used to with the blog
malarkey, but what the fock, ain’a? I’m short on time, so blow me.
Brett Favre.
