What is a blog? For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us. It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published June 20, 2008 at 4:15 p.m.

For the record he is NOT Weird Als' dad, nor related to Weird Al at all from what I understand.

Drew, fyi...Frankie is no relation to Weird Al... Editor's note: Just trying to be funny there, but humor loses its value when it creates confusion

I can't tell; is the author trying to be funny, or does he really the Frankie is Weird Al's dad?

7 and a half minutes of pure Milwaukee. All we need now is our mayor to do a little ditty on a polka stage and the summer will be complete.
