OK People.......
It's nice to be in the Christmas spirit and all, but NO ANTLERS! This is lame. You are lame. In fact, this makes you SO LAME that Santa will pass your house by.
I never saw the antlers before, but today I saw them two times!
Even the wreaths.....maybe OK on a semi. But on your AstroVan...not so much.
Let me explain. The term bubbler is a quintessential Milwaukee thing. A bubbler is what the rest of the world (except Rhode Island, parts of Connecticut and the Boston area) would call a drinking fountain. The Yoopers also use it, but we all know they are just Wisconsin wannabees anyway. When I first moved to California, I would use the term and get blank stares in response. The world was a much smaller place then and I had no clue that bubbler was just a regional colloquialism. I use it as the title of my blog as a way to connect with those that know what it means and hopefully interest those that don't.
Born in Milwaukee, I moved to Southern California in 1980, with a five-year hiatus in Maui.
I now live in Torrance, California with my SO.
I design circuit boards, a job I totally love. If I wasn't doing that, I would love to have a small restaurant.
Things that make me happy: cooking, eating, music, and vegetating in my backyard.

You are making me laugh so hard! I totally agree, the antlers are just not right!
Merry Christmas and I hope you don't see any more of these stupid things :)!
