Madison is actually a great city.  The only problem is all of those damn badger fans.

Ziggy, Puju, Mark Miller, MadWarrior, I and other lurkers (and posters) who support MU and MU Basketball all live there (and go to Smokey Bones to watch MU on TV when they are on the road).

PS  I apologize to all the other MU posters from Madison that I forgot to mention.

1) Madison's "famous" lakes are all probably smaller than Pewaukee.

2) Ella's Deli

3) (Metro area)  New Glarus Brewery & Spotted Cow

4) It's funny to hear Madison residents complain about traffic on the Beltline

5) I live there.

6) Hippies that don't give up.  ;D

Yeah, this is probably the funniest thing about Madison. I moved there from Chicago when I was in High School. I laughed so hard when my friend said the beltline was slow at 5 PM.

Ian's Pizza.
New Glarus Brewery (which, technically, isn't in Madison, so I'm not sure if that one counts.)
UW isn't ND, UL, Cincy...

That's all I've got....

The Essen House... nothing beats drinking beer out of boots

Smut and Eggs (never experienced this one)

Only place I've seen someone dressed as a fish protesting the cruelty of fishing (PETA)

Take a course on 911 and learn how Bush caused it all

Or, don't go to class and become ineligible, but hell one third of your team it too so who cares!

Second!

Though I believe you can do the same at Hofbrau on Old World Third, so who needs Madison?

They've drawn record setting crowds to their annual Riot Festival.  I believe they put in on around Halloween every year.

Q: How many UW grads does it take to screw in a light bulb?

A: 7 - one to put it in, then the other 6 to stand around and gloat about how incredibly Ivy League they made that look.

Don't forget the 15 to protest the use of electricity, the harmful effects of lightbulbs, the pollution created by making the lightbulb, the working conditions in the factory, and for good measure, animal rights.  Also, 2 anti-war protesters are hanging out for the camaraderie.

I liked this one:

Q: How many UW students does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: 7- One to screw it in while the other 6 try to make a bong out of the old one.

or:
Q: Why don’t they celebrate Christmas in Madison?
A: You cant find a virgin and three wise men.

This is easily the best thread in the short history of this site!

If anyone gets the Madison - Gary bumper stickers going, please let me know and send me one!

As for my contribution:
I once had 2 1/2 pitchers of Swampwater there, after a Warriors 81-65 win and a Tony Miller 18-10-10 triple double
I have a buddy who works for the Mallards, though he enjoys his job with the Admirals more
It marks the two-thirds mark of a trip from my house to watch a far superior basketball team play

DC wins the award for post of the day. That may be better than the bumper sticker.
