My question: What is in the Little Brown Jug that is so important?

Well supposedly water because Michigan was concerned that Minnesota would contaminate the water supply. Michigan bought it for 30 cents at a store in Minnesota. This was the big game where Minnesota tied the dominant Michigan team and their fans stormed the field with 2 minutes left with a storm approaching. They called the game as a tie and Michigan left the jug on the field (some say it had served its purpose) and was left while others claimed someone from Minnesota purposely had stole it in the mayhem. Few years later Minnesota told Michigan they'd have to win it back. They did just that.

Yea.

Then our bosses had to sell us on "I hope that really resonated with you guys. We as a leadership team won't followup as we want that speech to really set in."

Oh cool, I just watched a 25 minute video where some overpaid speaker talked to me like a 6 year old. Yea, really resonates well.

The thing that always bothers me about that kind of dumb shit is that you're often told you're supposed to have your own style to get things done (within reason of course) and then are held to a standard if you don't cling dearly to the organizations groupthink.

At times I think it less important to get results than to get results the way that they want you to if that makes sense.


Anywho I'm sure that was way too deep of thinking for your little activity today but that was my long winded way of agreeing it's a waste of time.

Good morning good people. The Dodgers have won the World Series. I actually watched the last inning. The memories of Brooklyn and Ebbets Field are alive again. It's been 30 years and it feels good. I think Sandy Koufax is the only old-timer left, so I hope he enjoyed the results.

It's real cold for Dallas at this time of the year. Not quite freezing, but a lot of the surrounding counties are below 32. Never did go out yesterday, so today is a must.

I'm expecting an Ohio State mask to arrive today. At least that's what the e-mails say. I bought 2, one for the wife, though she's a West Virginia fan. That's where she was born.

Thought for the day: The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on.

Your thoughts for the day are alright.

Does anyone think the LA area is going to become like the New England area was like back in the day when the Sox Celtics and Patriots were all good. Now in LA we got the Dodgers and Lakers

The difference is that LA has accomplished more with less and certainly without Boston's rampant racism and widespread culture of cheating.

Well, mediocre administrators/execs don't want to come up with ideas of their own to motivate/educate staff, so they set aside money in every year's budget to bring in "gurus" to tell how to go get "fired up" or otherwise motivated for work.

I love the into's they get by the bosses, like we're in the presence of some type of celebrity.

I enjoy your constant baiting of Boston fans

I'm not as on board with your contempt for the buckeyes

Have you thought about Notre Dame perhaps?

No.

Ebbetts Field was torn down when I was 3 years old.

Hippie didn't see it.

Our CEO brought in the governor one year and they gave us a 45 minute schpeel about Teddy Roosevelt and how they enjoyed hunting together on their farms. Like I'm supposed to be motivated by this deep shit? Teddy Roosevelt and hunting had no bearing on your success, you sold a fucking company to Microsoft, let's focus more on that.
