The Funny One Wears Prada

Hello, Funny One here. My sister and I went to the cinema to see the movie “The Expendables 2″ again. It’s so brilliant! Best quote from the film :”My shoe is bigger than this car!”

We were shopping in Wilkinson after the film and we were stopped at the checkout by an assistant. She said something about my bag. We thought she was going to say I shop lifted. She just wanted to know where I bought my bag from, as she liked it.

Today’s state is Wisconsin. The pic is of me throwing toilet paper at someone’s house. Hehehehehe! There is a Paper Discovery Center there where you’ll discover the many ways in which paper products help us control the spread of germs and diseases. You’ll be greeted with a giant sneeze at the start of the exhibit, and you’ll soon want to learn more about how you too can choose a cleaner lifestyle with paper. Diapers, toilet paper, facial tissue, and aseptic food packaging are all presented in a “Then and Now” format, showing the health benefits provided by such paper products. Did you know that in the past they used corn cobs, coconut shells, and anchor cables before the introduction of toilet paper? That must’ve been crap!

Do you like trains? Then you might want to choo-choo-choose these places for a visit: The National Railroad Museum is where you will be introduced to a chapter in national history that brought wealth and modernity to millions of Americans. You will learn all about the history of rail and discover the political, cultural and economic influences that built America. It really goes beyond just a mere discussion of hardware and shows the way in which rail had gone on to shape American culture through literature, music and historical events; The Railroad Memories Museum in Spooner, Wisconsin, houses one of the most fascinating collections of railroad memorabilia in America.  The museum got its start from the collection of the Railroad Memories Bar in downtown Spooner in 1990 and has been growing each and every season since. The Museum moved into the former Chicago & North Western railroad depot in 1992 and now every room in the building has been filled with lots of interesting artifacts showcasing the history of Spooner and the railroad responsible for the town’s existence; The East Troy Electric Railroad is “where you will step back in time.” Their historic rail cars travel a 10 mile trip through the beautiful Southeast Wisconsin. There is also a gift shop that has some unique souvenirs for everyone! Don’t forget to enjoy some delicious ice cream at Lauber’s Old Fashion Ice Cream Parlor that is next to the depot and also have a delicious meal at Ivan’s on the Square in East Troy; The Lumberjack Steam Train is a fun place where you can take the whole family on a trip back in time with a ride on a vintage steam train. Head for Laona and climb aboard the famed Lumberjack Steam Train for an amazing  journey into the late 1800’s. Whoo-Whoo! All aboard!!!

Now, another intriguing place to visit is the Wisconsin Maritime Museum. There is so much to see and do that you’ll want to learn all about the maritime history of Wisconsin and the Great Lakes. Marvel at the exhibits, and be in awe of the detail, and wander in and amongst rich maritime history like you’ve never ever seen before. You can even walk through a real US Navy World War II submarine! That’s cool! I want to go!

Sitting in Parked Cars in Nebraska

Hello, Funny One here. I wrote one funny article today and I just have to do one more, which I think I’ll do tomorrow. Ok, so today’s state is Nebraska. The picture is of me at the Carhenge. It replicates Stonehenge, and is made of a circle of cars, 3 standing trilithons within the circle, the heel stone, slaughter stone, and 2 station stones, and the Aubrey circle, which is named after Sir John Aubrey who first recognized the earthworks and great stones as a prehistoric temple in 1648.

Ok, I’m going to start off with trains. If you visit the Oregon Trail Wagon Train you will get to try a real campfire cookout. Cool! I wonder if they sing campfire songs? You will be taken back in time where you can experience what it was like to live back in the days of 1850. Enjoy the Old West! It sounds like fun. There’s also the Stolley Park Railway where you will have two trips around Stolley Park on Central Nebraska’s only life-size garden-scale railroad. There is also a candy store there, The Sweet Tooth Shop, which is available to park goers offering a wide range of delicious treats like popcorn, cookies and cotton candy. Mmmmm cotton candy. The Rock Island Depot Railroad Museum is two-storeys and is an historic stop that’s definitely going to impress. The Rock Island Railroad Depot is one of two remaining brick Rock Island Railroad Depots in Nebraska. It is also the largest depot that is still in existence between Chicago and Denver.

Do you want to know more about the history of Nebraska? Well, there are many places to visit, such as The Great Platte River Road Archway. From the year 1843 to 1869, nearly half a million men, women and children rode and walked the trails to the West Coast. The sky was overwhelming and the mountains and wildlife were like nothing they had ever seen before. These pioneers persevered with a strong will and a lot of determination, and they carried their cherished belongings in wagons or strapped to burros; and they also pushed or floated hand carts over mountains, rivers and valleys. All who took the trip were changed by it. Those early pioneers were shaped by what they saw and experienced, and they have provided America to be a heritage that is a living spirit that molds the nation’s character today. If you visit The Pioneer Village you will see a priceless steam carousel, 17 historic flying machines and you will marvel at 100 antique tractors. There’s also the world’s oldest Buick, a 1902 Cadillac and a 1903 Ford, both designed by Henry Ford, plus 350 other antique cars, all displayed in their order of development. The Nebraska History Museum is where you can see fascinating artefacts and hear some amazing stories from the rich history of Nebraska. The Museum of the Fur Trade is a museum that is dedicated to preserving the rich history of the North American fur trade. It’s located three miles east of Chadron and stands on the site of James Bordeaux’s trading post which was established for the American Fur Company in 1837.

Here are some other interesting places to go: The Nebraska Firefighters Museum. The hottest place in Nebraska! There is also El Museo Latino, which is one of only 11 Latino museums in the United States. Well, I’ll leave it there for now. Hasta luego.
