This site is one messed up place, seriously. Some of the characters that roll through here are mighty odd. I'd like to take this opportunity to find out a little bit more.

 

 

 

 

I realize that this blog is mostly about me. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I totally understand that the world hinges on my every move and people want to know what I am doing and thinking minute by minute. That being said, I never really get to peek into the lives of anyone else who comes here on a regular basis.

This being the case, have fun answering some questions from your fearless leader.

 

The Questions

1. Where are you from?

2. Why the screen name?

3. Have you ever been to Lambeau?

4. Who is your favorite current player?

5. Who is your least favorite current player?

6. Who is your all-time favorite player?

7. What is your pre-game ritual? Food? Friends? Alone?

8. Aaron Nagler or Brian Carriveau?

9. If you didn't root Pack, who would you root for?

10. Jersey Al or Greg C.?

11. If you could hang out with one Packer for the day, who would it be?

12. Shaken or stirred?

 

Feel free to answer any or all of these as you see fit. I know that I am pretty interested to see some of the answers.

That aside, have a great weekend. I am headed to the Bengals game with IronMan for what can only be described as heaven. I will have a full report when I get back, and if you follow me on Twitter, I will have plenty of pictures along the way.

1. Born in Sweet Springs, Mo. Live in Springfield, Mo.
2. Because I have never called in sick to work in my life, for any reason. I started working at 16, and I am 32, so 16 years and counting.
3. Yes 4 times. Soon to be 5.
4. Greg Jennings/Charles Woodson. Sorry I couldn't pick just one.
5. Well I don't have a least favorite Packer. Dante Culpepper. I hate that stupid "roll" celebration he does when he throws a td pass.
6. That's a tough one.
7. Not much of a ritual. I usually just kick back in my recliner while chatting online.
8. Nagler, because of the hat.
9. No one.
10. Both.
11. Greg Jennings.
12. If its my beer, neither.

1. Green Bay (woooo!!!)
2. It's my name (woooo!!!)
3. I have been twice (booooo!!!)
4. Mr Donald Driver. Commitment, no ego, best team player you could hope for.
5. Right now, Allen Barbre. In general I've never been a fan of Poppinga
6. My all time favourite player is Gilbert "Gravedigger" Brown
7. If it's an important game I like to watch it solo (as my nerves go crazy before a big game), if it's not so important I watch with family or friends.
8. Carriveau, that Nagler guy has one big freakin problem (jeez!).
9. The Rams were my Grandads team, I guess it would be them.
10. Hmmmm, that's a tough one. I'm swayed more by the musings of Jersey Al. Greg C has his own charm though.
11. Jarrett Bush. I always hang with loser to make me look good (LOL, joking.) Prolly Aaron Rodgers, he's my age and seems like a laid back guy to have a beer with.
12. I prefer it tossed from the top of Ted Thompsons house.

~It was an insult I developed while playing "Halo" (for the original XBOX) in high school. Just kinda stuck. For example, "That was cheap, Asshalo."

3. Have you ever been to Lambeau?
~Niners game in '98 where Reggie might have ended Steve Young's career. Sno in '08. 4 games in 2008 season. Dallas and 49ers this season. Looks to be at least one yearly trip with the fam. Last year we had 7, this year we have 18 and counting. Gona be quite the tailgate. Maybe you'll spot us on Nov. 22nd

~Cullen Jenkins, duh.

1. Racine, WI ... A.K.A the cilla A.K.A. Kringleville
2. it's my intials
3. Yes, many times/not nearly enough times
4. Packer player ... Aaron Rodgers Non Packer player ... LT
5. Favre... has been forever... He's ALWAYS been a d-bag from pretty much day one (it just took most people a lot longer to realize it than it did me) and I hate ''gunslingers''... still think we might have won more superbowls with Brunell and/or Hasselback behind center
5. Paul Coffman ... meet him as a kid while he was at a charity event and he was literally the nicest guy I've ever met... he ws there to sign autographs for a half hour and he ended up staying there and talking to the kids and their families for about 8 hours
7. usually just wath the games at home now...my favorite ''ritual'' though was as a young teen me and my buddy were so crazy/stupid/excitable about the games that we got banned from both mine and his houses and had to run an extention cord outside and watch the games in his driveway on a little black and white tv
8. Both
9. I really couldn't imagine cheering on another team
10. Neither
11. Brett Swain....he'd be the perfect packer ''wingman''... he's young good looking and a packer so you know the ladies would flock but not famous or popular enough that you wouldn't have a chance with them
12. I don't do hard liquor anymore... I had a tendency to punch people and/or sleep with people that I really shouldn't have... unfortunately far too often it was a close friend or the biggest person in the room... for both :( LOL

1. Cassville, WI, but currently live in Winona, MN.

9. Most likely the Eagles.

September 18, 2009 at 04:20 pm

1. Where are you from? I grew up in Quinnesec, Michigan, along the Wisconsin border. I now live in Marquette, on the shore of Lake Superior.

2. Why the screen name? Lack of imagination.

3. Have you ever been to Lambeau? Six times. Mostly in recent years, but I saw a preseason game against the Bills when I was a little kid in the 70s. I got to see O.J. Simpson not play.

4. Who is your favorite current player? Donald Driver.

5. Who is your least favorite current player? I like all of the Packer players pretty well. If you're talking NFL, it's definitely Terrell Owens. I just hate that guy. Total jackass.

6. Who is your all-time favorite player? Donald Driver. The ultimate Packer.

7. What is your pre-game ritual? Food? Friends? Alone? I hate pregame shows, so I try to keep myself distracted until a couple minutes before kickoff. I watch most games alone, so I can fully concentrate on the action.

8. Aaron Nagler or Brian Carriveau? I'm not familiar with either one of them.

9. If you didn’t root Pack, who would you root for? The Lions. I'm from Michigan.

10. Jersey Al or Greg C.? Jersey Al. He really breaks things down.

11. If you could hang out with one Packer for the day, who would it be? Ummmm...Donald Driver.

12. Shaken or stirred? I don't get it.

September 18, 2009 at 04:20 pm

1. Where are you from?
- I am from Kingston, Ontario, almost smack dab between Toronto and Montreal.

2. Why the screen name?
Because it's my name :P But Cubanpenguin goes all the way back to a stupid grade 10 english project.

3. Have you ever been to Lambeau?
Nope the closest I've ever been is the city of Buffalo, and that almost made me never want to visit the states gain.

4. Who is your favorite current player?
I can't pick one, for me it's a tie between Jennings, Rodgers and Kampman

5. Who is your least favorite current player?
I would have to go with Terelle Owens, I can't stand his ego and selfishness.

6. Who is your all-time favorite player?
Before 2007 it would've been Favre but now I think I would have to go with Don Hudson.

7. What is your pre-game ritual? Food? Friends? Alone?
Sadly most of the people I know from up here arn't big football fans so I end up watching it alone, and most games I can't find on TV so I try to find a half decent feed somewhere online.

8. Aaron Nagler or Brian Carriveau?
I honestly don't read either one, but I think I've read a few of Brians that we're pretty interesting.

9. If you didn’t root Pack, who would you root for?
Well I root for the Canadians :P But in football It's tough I think it would either be the Chiefs, Saints or Jaguars.

10. Jersey Al or Greg C.?
I couldn't do that to you guys I love you both, but I do enjoy the depth Al goes into. Not to put anything against you Greg :D

11. If you could hang out with one Packer for the day, who would it be?
Megan Fox for sure....oh Packer whoops but I think I'd go with Rodgers he's about my age and seems like a pretty funny guy to hang around with.

12. Shaken or stirred?
Not a huge drinker but I usually rock the vodka, so no shaking or stirring needed. but for ol' Bond sake Shaken, not stirred.

September 18, 2009 at 05:30 pm

1. Where are you from?
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil (z), a country in South America, whose capital is not Buenos Aires.

2. Why the screen name?
Well, it's packers with the state abbreviation (RS)

3. Have you ever been to Lambeau?
Yes, once. 2003. Early january, agains Seattle. Actually I thought about it after Chicago's game. Almost same finish.

4. Who is your favorite current player?
Tie. Greg Jennings and Charles Woodson.

5. Who is your least favorite current player?
Was a tie. Now that Moll is gone, Bush hands down.

6. Who is your all-time favorite player?
Reggie White. I didn't watch Paul Hornung, but he's my favorite player that I didn't watch. My father saw him play live, though.

7. What is your pre-game ritual? Food? Friends? Alone?
Beer or Scotch, depends on the situation. Allways with salted Peanuts and/or Cashew nuts. Alone, I get too much nervous and angry. Believe it or not, I have some friends that cheer for the packers, but they were influenced by me.

8. Aaron Nagler or Brian Carriveau?
Depends on what I want. Information, Brian. Opinion, Aaron. If I had to choose one, Aaron, no offense.

9. If you didn’t root Pack, who would you root for?
Steelers. Great fans, blue-collar place and defense.

10. Jersey Al or Greg C.?
Again, no offense to Grec C., but it's Jersey Al.

11. If you could hang out with one Packer for the day, who would it be?
Barnett seems a lot fun, but I would probably end up in jail, so Greg Jennings.

12. Shaken or stirred?
Stirred. Whiskey and Red Bull is the perfect combination.

8. I like Nagler, he knows football, but why does he have to tweet everyone in the world lame comments.

9. I like KC because i like their field and crowd. But dumb question really.

10. Don't know.

11. I'd hang out with Matthews or Rodgers?
