No one told me! This is going to take research. Anyone want to sponsor a really great project? It's for a good cause...... :D


Speaking of sponsor, I wonder if the Mike's company would like to host a huge WTM get-together. WTM + Mike's = fun, Fun, FUN!




~Lisa

[kribby]

yep its got to be 5:00 o" clock somewhere....:iagree:

[Jane in NC]

Oh my...I can already hear the rumors flying about those (nudge, nudge) homeschoolers. They won't let their kids properly socialize since they are too busy drinking Mike's as they conjugate Latin verbs. (Is there a smiley that is an eyeroll??)

This is too funny.
Jane (who would rather have a glass of red wine than a Mike's; can I still hang out here?)

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."

It's a lime one I'm holding in my avatar, I think the lime is my favorite.

I sure hope so!! I like a Mike's after a hot day sitting on my back porch, but most of the time I'd rather have red wine. But, I still hang with the Mike's crowd!

I want to know who added this to the Wiki entry?! WHO!!! Somebody's got as much time on their hands as all of the Mike's drinkers, and a big sense of humor to go with.

Fact: It was not me. :D

I was wondering the same thing myself. Fess up! Someone here had to have done it. And whoever did should get an honorary full set of rep squares for doing it!

You've been deservedly "hit"! :lol: And, no wonder you've got time on your hands -- you never spend any of it indulging.

This one will go down in the record books, dragons! And, Wiki/Mikes is about to see its number of views go waaaay up!

Yes, that was my primary concern in doing the edit. I figured she can change it though, if she desires. I promise I won't change it back.

I think I've finally found my homeschooling spot. I just bought a case of Mike's last night. :)

[Colleen]

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

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]

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.

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:

Oh, that's just GREAT. Now that they know the secret of homeschooling, EVERYONE is going to want to do it. :glare:

It was deleted.:crying:

It was fun while it lasted.

[*anj*]

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]

It was deleted.:crying:

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.

[Mrs Mungo]

Except it now says: "Text Deleted Peace Hill Press (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_Hill_Press)." I took that to mean PHP deleted it.

Oh sure, Mama Lynx. So what's in the cup? Huh?

I looked in the history. It was another random geek who said in the combox about the deletion, "unsourced and unneeded really."

Ah, I see. Unneeded, lol, that applies to half of what's in wiki.

Boo! Hiss! I'm forced to call the "no sense of humor" police.

We can add it to their slogan section "Mike's the official beverage of homeschooling moms" "Mike's the official beverage of the Well-Trained Mind boards"

We may need another t-shirt.
