Some say there’s nothing to do in Milwaukee in spring. I say those people are friggin’ losers! Nothing chaps my hide more than some damn cheese head, complaining about nothing to do in Cream City.
Sure, Jack Frost keeps dicking with our weather, but there’s always fun to be had in Milwaukee. Check out the list of happenings here, hit a few of Milwaukee’s restaurants, bars, theaters or galleries, or simply plan a special night at home with your honey. (And by “special" I mean “sexy." And by “sexy" I mean “being tied up by clowns with a Jell-O fetish.")
Speaking of sexy, lets read the email below. Friends with benefits might put a spring in your step, but not if Cupid hits you in the keester first.
Dear Ruthie,
I’ve had a f*ck buddy for two years. He’s a great guy, and he seems to think I’m a great guy, too. After a few hooks ups, I started to have feelings for him. I suggested we go on a date. He told me he wasn’t interested in a relationship, but maybe that would change in time. About a year later, I asked again and got the same response.
We’re still hooking up after two years, and my feelings remain the same. I recently asked him again if we could date. He said he wasn’t interested. What should my next steps be? I’m confused.
—Lonely Guy
Dear Guy,
You owe it to yourself to find a fellow who’ll give you his heart in addition to his tonsil tickler. Sure, you’re going to miss your friend’s pork sword, but this relationship isn’t fair to you. It’s time to walk away and find real love. That’s why you’re confused, honey. You want love, but know you’ll never get it when your buddy’s womb broom is still in the picture.
