Big thanks to my ole buddy Jeff for this information....He's always good for a one-liner, a sick joke, and a smile. Go figure that this came from him.

There's an Illinois website, that if you don't give it a .ORG you could be in for a whole different world, and you might blush a LOT.

Let's start with the facts of this, there's an event that happens in August that has Illinois taking on Iowa in a battle of strength and stamina...This is a feat like no other that goes back decades and decades...This pits two states against each other, with masses of people and lots of grunting and sweating.

Ladies and gentlemen if you are NOT familiar with this, may I introduce you to...

TUG FEST

That's right, it's a tug-of-war between two states. You do you think is stronger: Illinois or Iowa? That's a great question, let's grab on and look into this.

Come join us for a weekend full of fun activities for all ages! Whether it’s live music, great food, or the one and only tug of war across the Mighty Mississippi, you won’t leave disappointed! - Tug Fest

There is a rope that stretches across the Mississippi River, that is used for a good old fashion TUG OF WAR between the two states. Now of course this is turned into an all day festival with bands, food, and beer...So you really can't argue this, it sounds pretty awesome!

So here's where you can run into a bit of a problem...The website name. No, I haven't tried this and I for sure WON'T anytime soon.

According to my friend Jeff:

The website in Tugfest.org, make SURE you put the .org at the end, you might be sent to a website that will leave you red faced, and looking at something seriously disgusting.

Thanks Jeff! LOL
