If you started

culture in the bratwurst capitol? You decide.

Wisconsin Stuff |
Other Stuff |
Taste of Wisconsin, by noted Wisconsin cooking teacher and writer
Terese Allen.
Hebron, Wisconsin
(unincorporated, population miniscule) has a web site. Small-town
Americana meets high-tech, eh? As far as I know, Rome, London, and
Leipzig; which are also within a short drive of the Bratwurst Pages HQ,
do not have websites. It's only a matter of time, no?
The Bubbler, family-friendly
Wisconsin information.
Jefferson's Gemuetlichkeit Days.
There is no single English equivalent of this German word. Loosely
translated, gemuetlichkeit means "feel really good because you're
drinking beer and are surrounded by people you know who are also
drinking beer and listening to German-style music and now you're ready
to march to the town five miles down the road and conquer them."
Seriously, it's a wonderful example of a community coming together once
a year to celebrate their dominant ethnic heritage.
The Essen House,
German restaurant and trinken halle in Madison. Go there for
to see the male staff wearing those ridiculous-looking
lederhosen that nearly everyone in Germany wouldn't be caught dead
in (the ladies in dirndls look great though). The food,
beer and music are excellent.
Milwaukee's Germanfest, the
largest German festival in the United States. You'll also see many
ridiculous-looking guys in lederhosen and many cuties in
dirndls.
Leinenkugel's, a tasty line of
Wisconsin beers.
Weird Wisconsin
Chain Saw Carving School,
the only state licensed chainsaw carving school in the U.S.
Wisconsin Association of
Convention and Visitor Bureaus
Wisconsin Department of
Tourism, an extremely cool and user-friendly site.
The Cheese State Index, a nice
portal to Wisconsin related sites.
Wisconsin.com, another nice
portal.
Wisconsin State Historical Society,
lots of stuff for the Wisconsin history buff.
Milwaukee's Summerfest,
recognized by the Guiness Book of World Records as the "World's Largest
Outdoor Music Festival."
Fishing in
Wisconsin, this site is so big you'll never get it in the boat!
Among states in which the ACT is the predominant college admission test,
Wisconsin has received the
top
score in the nation every year since 1995.
History of
cheesemaking in Wisconsin. "Wisconsin has more skilled and
licensed cheesemakers than any other state."
The W Files,
Wisconsin Paranormal
We haven't seen any ghosts, goblins, or intergalactic travelers, but
doesn't mean they're not there, eh?
Czabe, funny observations on sports
and other stuff. |
DEBKA file, spooky stuff from the
Middle East.
Refdesk.com, "the single best
source for facts on the Net."
Family Search, Humongous
genealogical database from the Church of Later Day Saints.
Guide to the Logical
Fallacies, be like Mr. Spock.
National Issues.com, "no
spin, just the facts," a non-partisan research site that presents
summary information and opposing viewpoints on major national issues.
Not everyone walks in rabid partisan lockstep; some folks use their
heads.
Virtual Tourist.com, "real
travelers sharing real info". Interesting travel discussion.
Here on the Web.com, easy to
navigate links to more than 3000 sites and new sites each week.
Chef to Chef Culinary Portal,
includes a large database of recipes from across the world.
Germology, the science of
everyday germs. Now that's getting down to paranoia's minute
details!
MENSA test. So you think you're a genius?
Prove it. Take the test.
The Gumbo Pages. Chuck
loves food, music, cocktails, Louisiana, and writing. Highly
recommended.
The Memphis Cat. I'd like
to borrow this cat's entire music collection, but we'll have to settle
for enjoying it bit by bit. He doesn't update the site as often as
he used to, but it's still worth a visit from time to time.
National Archives Database.
Online access to a selection of nearly 50 million historic electronic
records created by more than 20 federal agencies on a wide range of
topics.
Cows with Guns. Check
out the music.
Tailgating America. Joe Cahn,

Invite him to your tailgate. |

The Up North Wisconsin Diet
I reckon we could write a full-blown best-selling book
on this topic. Here, you, our valued site visitor, get all you need to
know for free, in less than 25 words. If you eat only bratwurst, cheese and cabbage; and
drink only brandy and water, you will lose weight. Check with your
doctor first. |
