SLAINTE! NEW TOASTS FOR ST. PADDY'S DAY!

1) May the road rise up to meet you;
May the wind be always at your back.
And should you drink too much and pass out
May your friends stick nothing in your crack.

2) Here's to having drinks with a group of friends.
May the beer never stop flowing.
And here's hoping that Scott Walker
Never tries to put a ban on...collective bar going.

3) May the shots of whiskey be as plentiful
As a politicians lies.
And may the beer always flow as fast
As tears from Jay Cutler's eyes.

4) Life is a difficult road to travel
Full of pot holes and obstructions.
Here's to your life having fewer obstacles
Than this summer's highway 41 reconstruction.

5) May you have a belly full of beer this St. Paddy's.
And some whiskey in your brain.
It's the next best thing to have pumping through your body
Than tigers blood in your veins.

6) Should you see something wee and small this St. Paddy's Day,
That you'll never be able to forget.
I pray to God it is a leprechaun
And not a text from a Quarterback named Brett.

ST. PATRICK’S DAY PICK UP LINES

ST. PATRICK'S DAY PICK UP LINES

10. Hey baby, you make my shamrock shake.

9. Why don't you be like St. Patrick and drive the snake out of my pants?

8. I’m hoping to get lucky with a real blonde so would you lift up your skirt and show me if you have a pot o' gold.

7. You make my pants want to get up and Riverdance.

6. I understand you're catholic, so pull down my zipper and I'll introduce you to my holy trinity.

5. Your name must be Danny Boy, cause your pipe is calling me. (for use by straight women or gay men only!)

4. Wanna pet my Irish setter. You're making him stand at attention.

3. You make me feel like I'm the Republic of Ireland because since I started looking at you, my penis is Dublin.

2. Top of the morning. Wanna screw?

1. Forget the wearin' o' the green and let's get right to the wearin' of your ass like a hat!

WEENIE OF THE WEEK 3.11.11

We are proud to name as this week's Rick and Len Show Weenies of the Week...whomever's been sending anonymous death threats to the 18 Republican senators since they voted to strip public workers of their collective bargaining rights...and whomever has been sending anonymous death threats to the 14 Democratic senators since they fled the state in an effort to stall a vote on the bill. Obviously, it's a really hot button issue with deeply felt emotions on both sides. But death threats? Really? You think that’s the answer?

So,

For not understanding that this is not some third world country where political decisions are decided by who has the biggest gun but rather, this is America where political decisions are decided by who has the bigger wallet.

For thinking our problems in Madison can be solved with psychotic behavior when clearly what is needed is anti-psychotic medications.

And for threatening to take the lives of Wisconsin state senators. Seriously? Do you really think if they had lives…they would be Wisconsin State Senators? Have you seen these people? If they weren’t Wisconsin state senators they would probably be living in caves, foraging for grubs and learning to scratch their names in the dirt with sticks. Threatening to take a Wisconsin State Senator's life is like threatening to like threatening to take Paris Hilton's virginity, Charlie Sheen's sanity or Vern Troyer's basketball trophies.

We are proud to name whomever has been sending death threats to Wisconsin State Senators as this week's Rick and Len Show...Weenies of the Week.

PRETTY WOMAN/UGLY GUY

FOX-DISH DISPUTE TOP TEN LIST

This week, Dish Network subscribers lost FOX 11 in a dispute between WLUK's owners and the satellite provider. Most people assume it's all about money. However, I've heard that Dish Network is looking for certain non-monetary concessions from FOX 11.

DISH NETWORKS DEMANDS FROM FOX 11

10. The station must agree to no longer broadcast images of Tom Milbourn during hours when small children or Dish Network customers with low gag thresholds are watching.

9. Must agree to compensate any cable viewer whose television is damaged by their confused dog dry humping it during audition rounds of American Idol.

8. Must add 50 African-American reporters in effort to balance out the sheer, extreme ultra-whiteness of Pete Petoniak.

7. During Packer post game shows, must provide competent professional translator to inform Dish Network viewers what the hell Johnnie Gray is talking about.

6. Must make show Living With Amy more interesting by each week, having a different Green Bay Correctional Facility convicted sex offender actually live with Amy.

5. Dish Network customers who become contestants on Wheel of Fortune must be allowed to purchase vowels at 80% of the market value.

4. FOX 11 must agree to, each week, randomly draw a name of a Dish Network subscriber who will be given a chance to use a large sock of manure to try to slap that stupid, grin off Drew Smith's face.

3. Dish Network subscribers will be e-mailed the correct answers to all Jeopardy questions at least 24 hours before broadcasts so they can memorize them and look smart when watching show with non Dish Network customer friends.

2. The station must agree to cover all funeral expenses of Dish Network subscribers who die of boredom during local Packer post game show.

1. Good Day Wisconsin will no longer be allowed to call itself Good Day Wisconsin on days that clearly suck the big one. (like today!)

NEW JOBS FOR CHARLIE SHEEN

Now that Charlie Sheen has been fired from Two and a Half Men, here are some new job ideas.

APPLETON DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
By Charlie's own admission he was "bangin' seven-gram rocks" of cocaine and "finishing them", and anyone who can get rid of that much white powder that fast would have to be able to do a better job at snow removal than the guy currently in that job.

CHICAGO BEARS QUARTERBACK COACH
If anyone needs a transfusion of tiger's blood and Adonis DNA, it's Jay Cutler.

WAPL MORNING SHOW HOST
If only requirement is the ability to babble incoherent gibberish, he may be the only person suited to do that even better than Rick or Len.

FAKE MADISON PROTESTER
If Governor Walker again considers hiring some "troublemakers" to infiltrate the protests, he'd be hard pressed to find one who could make more trouble than Charlie.

WFRV NEWS ANCHOR
Pair Charlie with Tom Zalaski because the only thing more interesting that a show hosted by a guy who thinks he's a "total bitchin' rock star from Mars" is a show hosted by two guys who think they are "total bitchin' rock star from Mars". (and that's "winning"!)

WISCONSIN STATE BUDGET DIRECTOR
You'd have to be crazy or high to want that job. Why not hire a guy who is both?

WISCONSIN DEMOCRATIC SENATOR
Charlie says he can endure anything because he's been to hell, which is virtually no different than weeks hiding in Rockford, Illinois.

WIN TICKETS TO CELEBRITY AUTOBIOGRAPHY

The show Celebrity Autobiography is coming to the Meyer Theater in Green Bay this Saturday. Check out this video from Nightline that shows some of the dozens of different celebrities who have participated in this show in other cities. Click here to get your tickets now!

Len will be the local celebrity that will be part of the show.

WHO GETS TO SUCK OUT THE VENOM?

Rick and Len do Punta Cana


It has only taken me 5 days to be able to blog something from the Dominican Republic...but HOLA!

We are having some great times with 126 of our Rockin' Apple friends. The Catelonia Bavaro Resort is absolutely fantastic with the caveat that we have had a few technical issues. But then again, it wouldn't be a WAPL International Incident if everything went off without a hitch. Cerveza makes it better, though!

Today was Len's 50th birthday and he spent it like on old fart. Do the show, play golf, take a nap. Awesome. Now get off my lawn!

This morning Len, at his daughter's request, donned some "fairy wings" she stashed in his suitcase and skipped around the broadcast area. His 12-year-old instructed him to "embrace your inner fairy." So he did in very fairy-ish fashion. What we won't do for the show!

Every one of our seven International Incident trips has been spectacular...but this one is shaping up to be the best yet. Wish you could all be here. Maybe next year...?

SHANE MAUSS...IN THE HOUSE!

His special on Comedy Central recently debuted and he's making a triumphant return to Wisconsin. He's Shane Mauss and he's so funny, Rick and Len had to flee the country this week just to avoid being so soundly outclassed.

Shane will join Ross Maxwell in the studio from 9 to 10 Friday morning as he holds down the fort until Rick and Len find away to sneak back into the U.S. of A.

Make your reservations to see Shane between now and Saturday at the Skyline Comedy Cafe in Appleton by calling 920-734-JOKE. Thursday night is WAPL Night with 2 for 1 admission!
