Spark, do you know the old song "Don't mention my name in Sheboygan"?Originally Posted by Sparkey
well,,, you outta.
This thread is the PR classic.
450 pages and 9000 posts?
It'll keep running.
Read the first page and learn about Mobb slobbering all over BLF. With the Jets. Find out how Brett is getting all this rapport with L Coles.
I only hope that I get the 10,000th post!

You don't really have to worry about a topic reaching the 2nd page if it still had life left in it. I have 20 or so topics on my first page and the ones at the bottom haven't been posted in in a week. We aren't losing out on a topic because this one lives. And yes the first page is pretty hilarious. Actually the whole topic is. It's a classic.
I think it'll sink for a while when we get closer to the season. It was pretty far down last year before either the masseuse testimony or whatever other news caused it to be rekindled.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
This thread is all about the sublime and the ridiculous..the GOOD , THE BAD and THE UGLY.
This thread was envisioned by it's inspired creator to be something far more valuable to those in here that respcted (still respect) Brett Favre the NFL QB 'Supreme'. It got to be as it did for the most part in any negative respect as the membership struggled with themselves as members here.
I believe it was envisioned with these things in mind:
a) Brett Favre the ongoing Legend.
b) Brett Favre the respected Green Bay Packer QB that was primarily responsible for releasing our team from a long cold nasty stream of seasons when 'the Glory Years' or the 1960's were long lost ......without redemption until Favre went behind Center.
c) Brett Favre voted the Supreme QB of the 1990's and again TOP Five NFL QB in the next decade.
d) Brett Favre 'the GREEN BAY PACKER GREAT' and certain NFL HOFer. The man with 'ALL THE RECORDS' when he retired from active play in the NFL.
e) Brett Favre and 'any number of superlatives', amidst behaviour that held him in question with many Packer fans and outright called him to a certain disgrace away from the field of play. Brett Favre the human being.
Long live Packerrats ..... and this thread.
LONG LIVE.... 'THE GREEN BAY PACKERS' and Brett Favre.

Hmmm, I bet if I were foolish enough to read this whole thread, yours would be the first reference to the Everly Brothers among all 9000+ posts. +1
Everley Brothers ...really !? mmmm .... Why did I not know that?
That phrase "Don't mention my name in Sheboygan" was used here:

The Everly Brothers - Mention My Name In Sheboygan
Mention my name in Sheboygan
It's the greatest little town in the world
Just tell them you're an old friend of mine
And every door in town will have a big welcome sign
So mention my name in Sheboygan
And if you ever get in a jam
Just mention name, I said mention my name
But please don't them where I am
Mention my name in Paducha
It's the greatest little town in the world
I know a gal there you'll simply adore
She was Miss Patoka back in 1904
So mention my name in Paducha
And if you ever get in a mess
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't give them my address
Mention my name in Tacoma
It's the greatest little town in the world
I know the big shots in the City Hall
They even got my picture on the post office wall
So mention my name in Tacoma
And if you ever get in a spat
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't tell them where I'm at
Please don't tell them where I'm at!
No Spark.
There are two songs.
1. Don't Mention My Name In Sheboygan
2. Mention My Name In Sheboygan (sung by the Everly's)
I'm talkin' about Don't Mention My Name In Sheboygan. It's an old (20's or so) vaudeville hit that was the number 1 song in the country. This is before record's were widely sold. we used to hit an old derlict bar in sheboygan after fishing on L Michigan. We'd buy the locals beer and get 'em to sing and dance to that song. they all knew the words by heart. I can still see that one old guy dancing and singing a toothless shuffle to that tune.
Joint had killer brats, delicious fried fish, ridiculously cheap beer, and of course, great ambiance.

This thread was created to contain the flame war in one spot instead of having it spam every thread on the forum, but nice try.

you've narrowed that down to just about every corner bar in wisconsin!
what the hell are the words to the song?
Not exactly, thread was created for what wood claims and was later turned into your new creation......some folks just can't help themselves...

Well MJZiggy. Good mornin'.
'Of course' you.... having your finger on the pulse of Packerrats and into it all. Sat with the originator of this thread and conceived it just as it turned out.
The wonderful tribute to arguably the GREATEST Green Bay Packer that ever wore the Green and Gold.
Nice job MJ. THANKS for your solid contribution to that end. Your dedication to things positive and 'cheery Lady like ways and manners' are an inspiration to us all.
Have a staggeringly great day MJ.

sound judgement. f bf!
Brett Favre can go jump in the lake.... there... I said it.... ***whew*** (Now, what lake is up for debate..HERE WE GOOOOOOOOO!)
Football been very very good to me
Doesn't Minnesota have a lot of lakes? Probably a lot of room for a lot of bodies out there. Us left coasters just utilize the Pacific.... no one is ever heard from again... kind of a "permanent retirement" if you will....

and therein 'lies the rub'. How we differ in how we frame things.
How this naturally created cells of members on certain sides and opposing those that would dare stand for anything different but at their own peril. Those that stand for but 'one thing'. Their agenda.
I certainly do NOT believe that MOBB DEEP ever imagined his thread would become the starship thread (mmmm is that a good anology ....ohh who cares this is the Favre thread at Packerrats. A thread that brings out all the best and worst in us as members of Packerrats.
a) The Favre die hard supporter members or 'judged' the Favre LOVERS.
b) The Favre 'he's retired' and so should be this thread members.
c) The Favre Love/Haters.
d) The extreme Favre HATE members or so labeled by the other extreme side.
e) The indifferent ..those who have no opinion on Brett Favre other than he's simply gone so let him claim his NFL Legacy members.
A popular thread that many of us hope will never be archived.

There is one verse missing above or the third verse. That verse is about Elmira. The song lyrics are then:
MENTION MY NAME IN SHEBOYGAN
(Bob Hilliard, Dick Sanford, and Sammy Mysels)
Mention my name in Sheboygan,
It's the greatest little town in the world.
Just tell them all you're an old friend of mine,
And every door in town will have a big welcome sign.
So mention my name in Sheboygan,
And if you ever get in a jam,
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't tell 'em where I am.
Mention my name in Paducah,
It's the greatest little town in the world.
I know a gal there you'll simply adore,
She was "Miss Paducah" back in nineteen-o-four.
So mention my name in Paducah,
And if you ever get in a mess,
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't give them my address.
Mention my name in Elmira,
It's the greatest little town in the world.
I told the Mayor that he would go far,
I even gave the sheriff an exploding cigar.
So mention my name in Elmira,
And if they ever try to put you in jail,
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't write to me for bail.
Mention my name in Tacoma,
It's the greatest little town in the world.
I know the big shots in their City Hall,
They're even got my picture on the post office wall.
So mention my name in Tacoma,
And if you ever get in a spat,
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't tell 'em where I'm at.

Favre only won one Super Bowl...Trent Dilfer can say that!
Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.
