Minnesota Vikings News & Discussion-The Deuce: 01 Dec 2022

F5DEE37A-58AE-4627-B605-CD37C6E0268F

Merry Thursday, everyone, welcome to December, and welcome to Skoloholics! Join us as we discuss the latest Minnesota Vikings news & updates, news from around the NFL, and virtually any other topic. On this site, the real action is in the comments, so if you haven’t checked out the comments section yet, you should join us! This is the open thread, which is……open. Therefore, you will see discussion of nearly ANY topic here. Our one rule here is: “Remember, be cool to one another”. Also, a word to the wise, don’t feed the trolls. SKOL!!!!!!

Thread was full!

Alright, we’re just a few short days away from Vikings football. I know this break between games will only be 3 days longer than a normal break, but man, it SURE feels a lot longer. I’m excited for the Vikings-Jets game, I expect it will be a similar game to the Patriots game, as the Jets team is very similar to the Patriots. Great defense, and a below average offense with a below average quarterback. As we know, our defense specializes in making quarterbacks look better than they are, so I expect another close game, as we have come to expect from the 2022 Vikings. Hey, who cares? Just win, baby! SKOL!!!!!!!!!!!

Minnesota Vikings News:

Vikings.com looks at 4 Vikings vs. Jets storylines, and they also have the initial Vikings-Jets injury report.

Dalvin Cook spoke at a banquet in Bismarck.

Our friends at FOCO released a new bobblehead!

Video of the Day:

For those of you who haven’t heard Steven Wright, you’re in for a treat. This is his debut on Johnny Carson way back in 1982. Enjoy!

Wasn’t clear. Do you have ESPN+ or no? If you do, you can stream most NHL games with that access plus Hulu. I’ve had Hulu anyway for a few years but love the cross-over with ESPN+ because I’ve been able to see most Wild games the past 2 seasons despite living in Florida.

Do you mean the app or just the website? You might have to make an account for the app (I did), but the website should work just fine without one. Just have to click the tabs to change between Ingredients/Cookware/Instructions

Ahh, yeah they probably force you to create an account for the app.

I do like the app, though. Creates a grocery list you can check off ingredients before going to the store & the instructions has a function where you can just put your hand over the screen to advance so that you don’t have to touch the screen with dirty hands.

There are a bunch of recipes locked behind a paywall but I’m too cheap for that shit

Way back when I was single, I got on a 4-hour flight, picked a seat in the back, and said a prayer: “God, please seat me next to a nice, attractive girl so we can chat it up on the flight and fall in love.”

After the plane had been filled, I sat there with 80-year-old+ women all around me for 2 rows.

I think God has a pretty good sense of humor.

1 December 2022 4:46 pm

Well, that sucks.

I flew from Seattle to Dallas back in my single days, ended up sharing the row with a beautiful flight attendant (deadheading) and that was a nice time. She was engaged so purely platonic.

On the flight back on that same trip, I was dead tired and looking forward to sleeping. I chatted briefly with a tall attractive lady during boarding and after I got seated was promptly nodding off as they closed the doors. I was surprised as the young lady came and asked if she could sit next to me in the otherwise empty row. No, there was no mile high club or handy under the blankets, we ended up getting along well and I talked with her on the phone a few times but she lived in another country (Oregon).

You didn’t need to tell us it was platonic. We learned the other day that your pre-marital exploits were limited to a 4-year fling with conjoined twins while you were in college.

Actually I just lied, the tall gal referenced above was not from another country, she was from another world (Cali). The Oregon girl was a different flight.

You don’t understand. Ben has made it clear recently that he became a CEO at age 35 and wrote his first novel when he was 7, IIRC. I didn’t become a CEO until I bought my own business at 47 and gave myself that title, and 8 years later I still haven’t been published. Who I am to share in his greatness without his permission?

I wasn’t a gigantic fan of the hire when it happened (I wanted Harbaugh, tbh), but watching stuff like this makes it easy to see why the attitude change has been so big this season. Very encouraging, building-up type of personality. Seems like guys would run through a brick wall for him.

Big night for me tonight. I completed season one of Better Call Saul a couple of weeks ago, but I was going to make myself wait until December to start season two, so I don’t have it all watched before winter is even half over.

Tonight, season two begins!

I enjoyed season one. Being able to watch an episode every night instead of waiting a week probably helps.

Saul was my favorite character on Breaking Bad, so I am enjoying revisiting him. I normally don’t like prequels, but this seems a bit different.

All I saw was that they were doing a wellness check on an intoxicated person and there was blood pooling or bruising around his eye. Don’t know if he had a problem with alcohol or didn’t drink often and had way to much and fell or something or worse. Either way its awful for the Zimmers.

I will, thank you very much!

I have it set to latest tweets, although it always finds a way to reset to top.

Right now, the 2nd tweet on my timeline is always a promoted tweet and then it’s a bunch before the next. Might have been a weird issue where scrolling to the bottom of the timeline loaded only 1 more tweet at a time followed by a promoted tweet. I see a promoted one every time it loads more, but right now it’s at least loading more than 1 ‘new’ tweet at a time.

Yeah IDK, I’m not having that problem, I don’t use the app, just on safari or chrome, I saw a tweet from Arfi Hassan though that was basically the same thing you did, maybe its a glitch of some sort.

This did happen to me on the browser version, though. I haven’t updated my app in over a year now because they put Twitter spaces on the homebar on the bottom – that was fucking stupid and I hated it so much I used an API to rollback.

Summary:

It is legal to whack whores in Nevada according to GF, I trust his knowledge on the subject

Mick and COHF5years confirm Kirk Cousins is in fact white, clearing up any confusion you all may have had

Mick is racist

Mick thinks Irv is gonna break out

In case you missed it, JJ is NFC Offensive Player Of The Month

VP has been waiting 84 years for Reagor to be unleashed, knew he was old, but damn

Freezey works at NAPA and is a “knowhow” guy

GF says most Rangers come from the factory with a cat, I’ll pass, I prefer dogs

BSF wants to look at more hookers, not entirely surprising considering his affinity for looking at homeless men’s’ cocks

GF=Mr. Oppressor

BSF says we are all experts

BSF’s workplace doesn’t understand the concept of time

Open Threads were moved to a new location, Bow thinks its so Kodiak and Five don’t find it

Skoldiers made a comment describing how to find the new location and pinned it at the top of the thread, guess anyone who wasn’t already on the thread today is screwed tho

PPB posts comments in GIANT ALL CAPS FONT

DE struggles to make comments

Eggslusher thinks Skoldiers is a cocksucker

Lifer likes that Skoldiers is a cocksucker

Skolly is going bald because of Greg Joseph

Peterplaysskinflute’s wife is getting her foot lopped off, he calls her stumpy

Man I can’t believe that Gretzky shorthanded slapshot to end game 2 in OT in Calgary didn’t make the list! You gotta think of the context, Flames finished with the most points in the league, Oilers were like third, every expert picked the Flames to beat the Oilers in round 2. That goal was a dagger, went into Edmonton down two games and ended up swept.

@I’m so disappointed@

Did you know Gretzky scored 50 goals in 39 games when he was only 20 years old…five goals in game 39 against Philadelphia, the last one an empty netter. Yep that’s right Gretzky scored four goals but Philly was still within a goal at the end of the game.

I think my last Fanpost was my controversial “Gentlemen’s bet” on how many wins the Vikings would get last season. I was testing a theory that none of the “doomers” would put their proverbial ‘money where their mouth was’ (there was no money involved…only a voluntary period of “self-banishment” from the DN after the season ended).

As it turned out, their were several folks who signed up for the bet on both sides of the wager (which was unexpected), but none of the “serial offenders” took my up on it (which was expected…cowards).
