Colleen Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 How can I possibly be discouraged after my hard work pushing Mike's to an online community of homeschoolers has at long last won us a place in the annals of the esteemed Wikipedia? I am all astonishment...all verklempt...and all outta Mike's. I'll turn instead to my early evening summer drink of late: Famega Vinho Verde ~ a spritzy Portuguese white. Who knows? Maybe if I sell enough of you on it, we can get another Wikipedia citation?:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Atl Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 What will the teachers unions think of us now? Gretchen Jealous that we have more brains (collectively) and a better liquid mascot than they! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelli in TN Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Jealous that we have more brains (collectively) and a better liquid mascot than they! :D Do they even HAVE a liquid mascot? I bet it never occured to them to get a liquid mascot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenschooler Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 oh my::lol::lol: quote: Trivia Mike's has been adopted by the homeschooling parents of The Well-Trained Mind Forums as their official beverage. As of June 2008, more than four hundred posts referencing Mike's Hard Lemonade could be found via the search function on the forums hosted by Peace Hill Press. We're famous! For being hard drinkers....okay, but hey! We're big time now. We could make or break a company if we wanted to, couldn't we? :lol::lol::lol: When are we getting royalties?

gardenschooler Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Oh no! Colleen, what have you gone and started? This is ALL your fault, you know. :lol::lol::lol::lol: Colleen really did start it all, didn't she. Every day, a Mike's here and a Mike's there. Pretty soon, everyone was doing it.

Night Elf Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 And I've been one of the regulars who felt this board was mostly religious, something I don't necessarily equate with alcohol. :lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenschooler Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Now there's an idea. Maybe some of us could be on a Mike's commercial. "My neighbors think I must be supermom. But really, Mike's the one holding this homeschool together." That's perfect, Rose! You should send in your idea to them - wouldn't that just be out of this world? I'd be okay with that stereotype. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*anj* Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 It was just one of those things Just one of those crazy flings A berry or lime or lemony zing, Just one of those things. It was just one of those nights A Wiki entry, we're reaching the heights A bottle of Mike's on gossamer wings It was just one of those things. If we'd thought a bit about the end of it When we started drinking it down We'd have been aware that our love affair Kept us from wearing a frown. So good-bye, dear, good-bye and amen Here's hopin' we'll toast now and then It was great fun A short run (Where's the rum?) But it was just one of those things......

dragons in the flower bed Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 It was deleted.:crying: It was fun while it lasted. Yeah, I think it was unverifiable because I couldn't link to an actual post saying that Mike's should be our official beverage. However, if we set up a poll, and if we got SWB to give the final say-so, I think it might stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
