BNO traveled to the Mike Mergener Heartland (S.P.) and scored big with a #8.89. They had a great score in 2020 but this time a low score hurt their average! Had we had the guy score at least an #8 or a #9 they could have had a #9.4 and jumped into the real second place behind Vintage at #9.45
We visitied here in 2020 with a lovely waitress names Renee and had a grand time and scored a #9.14 with only #9 guys!!!!!! Good for #14th place!
This past May 8th, we had lots more men and #20 to be exact with a waitress names Jenna who was amazing and very good at her job!
My son Eric A. planted seeds for me to tell his wife to make sure Leigh Mills knows she is worshippd by the BNO gang! Eric has moved back from Texas and is living in Sun Prairie with his wife Bubbles and two great kids!
Biggy winner was Eric A. and Dave Walker who won the guess of # of
M and M’s in a jar and two bottles of homemade wine were captured by Craig K. and Mike Mergener thanks to: Hunter Savage for getting them~ Thanks Hunter!!!!

Jenna doing her number on us!
Had to throw iin the Bubbles and Leigh Mills pic guys! Sorry! There are two #10’s! 🙂
Wow we had fun and all because of our super beaufil waitress Charlotte, well Hush Hush Sweet Charloette!
The pictures speak for themselves, and this place logged in with a score of 9.165 moving them into #13 place.
We missed Bob Emmerick, Joel D, Jim Ad, Craig K, Michela Allen, Mike Mergener, and Erik R, amd Micheal Allen.
Drew Neperud was our Newbee and did such a great job doing the BNO fight song with the secret handshake.
But Charlotte won our hearts over, great customer service, even a cartwheel for us at the end and assisted with the drawings. Ross H. won the biggie and Dave Nep got a kilo of coffee and inside some cocaine and Glenn 2 netted his favorite Trader Joes Chips!
Jim Sniff came back to town and his 70th birthday coming up at his barn: 6760 Horshoe Bend in Verona.
An award popped up this month for the monst #10’s given out, Bob Lucas is a burger whore and scored a #10 at Stone Porch – he thinks her will get another something from BNO BOB! I was tied with Bob L with #4 perfect scores, and he slipped into the lead and rated this burger a #10 just to get ahead of me. (#5) Tens what a B. Whore! And what a putz!
Such
Listen Son I am your Fazzer!
Boys Next BNO is 5/8 in Sun Prairie at The Full Mile Thursday at 6pm. Are you IN????
Our #208 th stop at The Goat was amazing! #18 guys made it and we collected $212 bucks moving us up to $658 in the BNO Kitty. We had a fantastic waitress: Evelin and Carloine the GM even had a BNO special Art renderingon on the glass window! See pictures:
And #24 ladies next door doing a Book Club 🍷 provided us with the eye candy (Pretty girls in the place) and good thing there was a window wall there seperating us from them – since Michael Allen for HE had pangs of envy even ~ though they were all married! 💒 💍.
Kevin Pomeroy finally amitted to winning the Biggiy award last month and this month the winner was: Page Buchanon netting a bottle of Bougilas from Italy.
He in turn gave a XL BNO sweatshirt up for a raffle + Chris Z had the pleasure of winning that! Thank You Page! We thought that Chris might need to go to the E.R., he was so exurberant and giddy we though for sure he had wet hiis pants.
He told me his wife Cathy will make him take the garmet off but he plans to wear for the next week solid straight!!!!
Bob Emmerick shared his peanut butter cup winnings and Evelin and Caroline won some truffles eggs too from Trader Bob!
Next month we travel to Verona 4/10/2025 for the Stone Porch, formerly Boulders where Bob Lucas really won a biggie bottle of wine
(check out that picture of him with the hot bartender)!
Guys are gearing up for the Beer 🍺 Sheirff *Jim Sniff who will return in April and no doubt drink all of us the table cause he is a FOGGY GEEZER!
He told me he might try and chug a pitcher of beer if guys chip in and bet he can do it. A keg stand is out of the question him being SUCH a BIG FELLA!
Jim Adney missed a rare showing- he had covid and APT Pauls’ Wife (Linda) had an unofrtunate stumble and fall and Hunter Savage was audtioning for the hit show “The Bachelor”. He missed coming too!
Thanks Mike Mergener for being a bean counter and adding scores and money laundering the money for our tab. $(561)~ Your check is in the mail for your services.
We send out heart felt vibes ❤️💜 for Jim Adney and his loss of a dear wife Melissa. Also, thinking good thoughts for Paul Reckwerdts’ wife Ellen for her heart hiccup with a fast stent recovery!
Our pre -ordering for the last couple of places worked prettty dam well !
Hats off to BNO Bob for coordinating this and making it possible. I think Glenn B. Karloff is kicking in a couple of extra hundred bucks to cover my time and efforts. Oh a new BNO borad made it to the #208th stop in case anyone noticed.
JD yes you can out drive me
but my short game and putting is waaaaaay better than you, let’s step outside and rumble!!!!!
Next BNO 4/10 at The Stone Porch @ 6PM are you IN???????
OMG #18 fellas had placed their orders with a BNO Bobs “PRE ORDER” and we ended up all hitting home runs!
Marissa Stump worked behind the scenes to allow us to invade 1980 Atwood Avenue, Gideon our waiter did such a grand job handling some crotchery OLD Beer drinking Beef Eating fools. I have to say,- I had Brussel sprouts and tasted some fried and the wasabi beans too. Everything was great! Chris Z was a not allowing me to try the garlic massed potatoes!!!!! So angry at him!
The service, and the bartending by Steve and all the others was Perfect! Sophia, Racheal, Amanda and the cooks were the 💣bomb!
Score in #2009 was #8.79 and last night they pushed into orbit with a #9.24 score and notched a 7th place overall in the BNO TOP #20 list! To Quote Adam Sandler, “NOT TOO SHABBY”!
SOMEHOW K.C. LERNER CIRCUMVENTED THE BIRTHDAY TRADITION AND A CANDLE WAS PLACED ON MY BURGER. We even had Fred Yaeger pass out with a perfect #10!!!! 🥅
Next month, we travel onto Fish Hatchery Road to visit the Thirsty 🐐 GOAT. 3/13/. 6 pm.
Many thanks to Mike Mergener for the red bottle of wine he brought and a 🍀LUCKY Hunter Savage won it! Jon Penner did good as our new bee but, forgot to bring enough money to pay for the entire tab. Kevin P won the Little Bigggy and Boob Lucas or Bob Lucas used the force and won the truffles- BUT he shared! Mike tabulated scores and he and Hunter counted dinero! 💰
Great time, great ambiance and the kicker was in #2009 we were here with an very attractive server named Vanessa, turns out she is the STEP Mom of Gideon. AKA Oates muscian of Hall and Oates 🎶🎤 He stil is not talking to John Hall!

I made a maiden voyage out there last Friday 11/29 to see what our set up would look, and I remember now being at the old Coaches there. I met Brook -a waitress and asked if Mike was working, he was not and Bob Lucas was suppose to come and buy me a four Roses pop 🥃 but alas he was a No Show!

Vintage of Cros Plains moved into 6th place now, and we had Sklyer our waiter~ dialing up premium service with Laura, Karla, and Jake and Stevie Nix, assisting our very own private space upstairs. ONLY ISSUE WAS A GREEN BAY PACKER LOSS! 🥲
