Big Shit Face is on a tear.
looks like big shit faced showed up again
Never really listened to Bradley Cooper’s song “maybe it’s time”.
Lyrics are beautiful. Thank you Lifer, it popped up after I grabbed the song you recommended
My wife says you’re all gay.
I told her it’s not ok anymore to say that, and she said some really mean shit about all of you. She hates you guys. Total hater
Karma police
If you don’t know the band, you suck
Skoloholics on mobile is like jacking off without lube.
Put your earphones in and listen to this please. Sounds like you’re in the right state of mind.
On right now
Added it to my collection.
Thank you Lifer!
Communist propaganda
that reminds me of your mom.
Summer breeze.
By some body.
I like this one
Seals and Croft
Makes me feel fine
Phil’s ban Down, has a song called Lifer. Kinda high
I’ll have to give it a listen.
Come undone.
Duran Duran.
Still good
Put the song selection on random.
Mad world. Jules whstthfuck. Pops up. Buzz kull
Dom/hallow. Off the patera live. Chills
Disturbed. Down with the sickness.
Still good
Next up is some Flower.
Called Doghouse.
How the hell can I not smoke that?
I’m not sure I care for the mobile experience.
PC is the way
I agree.
It is not an enjoyable one.
We are visiting son number 2 and they are in the hotel pool so I’m checking out what happened on here today.
Sounds nice, have fun with the family, even if the skoholics experience is kinda tedious on mobile.
Porn star dancing.
Does it count as a nickel back song if Chad Kroger is on it?
Next up is the bleeding
By Five finger death punch.
Fuck, one of my favorite bands, and it just occurred to me that Five probably stole his name from a band I liky
Crazy game of poker.
OAR.
Good song
So I’ve had 2 gummies and I. Drinking War pigs Foggy Geezer.
First song of the night GNR Civil war.
Bonus points if anyone knows what movie the opening line is from.
Lol
All downhill from here
Cool Hand Luke.
Strother Martin.
Excellent choice
Im down, fuck it.
Looks 50/50 to me at the moment. I haven’t seen them scrape off more salary cap to make room yet.
Won’t matter, we lose either w/or w/o him.
lt won’t happen but threw it out there. KAM was in Cleveland when he threw a tantrum to get out. Very unlikely but who knows
Forgot about that connection….good take skols
Good point, I forgot the connection too.
Had a great day with the grands today, tired Grammie. Will have them next week too, so comments likely light from me.
Sounds great Kathy. Have a glass of 🍷 and relax.
Enjoy it young lady!!
Good day Kathy! Now go upstairs and………never mind.
In other news….Pfizer raising the price of a covid shot by 400%….
hmmm….nothing to see here….
I’m assuming most insurance pays for it 100%, no?
@It’s not like the premiums will increase@
In other news, I will never put anything in my body manufactured or created by Pfizer, Maderna, or Johnson & Johnson. I will tell my Dr there is nothing that company makes that I cant fix on my own with better diet, exercise, healthier life choices. And if thats not the case, I will ask for an alternative from another company and if there isnt one. Then I’ll roll the dice. Fuck Pharma. Profits over People. Always have been always will be.
Good luck with that.
I know you have your stance because you’re in the medical field but put that aside and ask yourself if you trust a company that’s had some of the largest lawsuits in history thrown at it for negligent deaths MULTIPLE times and is responsible for vaccine side affect based deaths. In your heart of hearts do you? You should take a look at your profile picture and think long and hard there. I trust the little people in the medical field, I have many family and friends that work in it, sister went to 10 years of schooling to be a NP, she’s basically a Dr with schooling and were on the same page. I respect your opinion, but I ask you to look deep into the pharmaceutical industry and TELL me its not corrupt and for profit.
Mandate then raise the price. They’ll probably say the cost is going up because of supply chain issues because not everyone got the vaccine
The “mandate” claim was just more bullshit to scare people. All the CDC did was add it to a list of “recommended” vaccines. That’s it.
But it certainly triggered a bunch of irrational angry without anyone bothering to fact check it. Well, one person tried to before saying fuck it.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2022/10/19/covid-vaccines-children-cdc-disinformation/
Yeah, you’re only half-truthing it here.
That article only dealt with the CDC and federal level. There will be states, counties, and school districts mandating it like any other trickle-down of federal stuff.
I saw it over and over where the EPA or ADA, for instance, put out something and then the states had their clowns come up with wholesale piles of baloney that wasn’t in the original federal interpretation, while claiming it was.
I’m only specifically dealing with what the CDC said.
And at a federal level there is no mandate.
That’s a whole truth, and all that I’m addressing.
What you brought up could happen, maybe.
I can tell you there is considerable debate in the health care community about kids a COVID shots, and there’s very few communities that a school board would ever attempt it.
I wouldn’t support it.
Also, I happen to really like your posts, and if I was a dick to you, I apologize.
This only applies to LFG.
The rest of you can eat a bag of dicks.
You weren’t a dick, no need to apologize.
Part of the struggle of America right now is over the kids, and if CRT is any indication, there will be too many Superintendents and School Boards who won’t give a crap what parents want and will try to ram this through without parental consideration and/or much discussion.
Universities currently require it. Oh you’re paying a hundred grand a year for an education, sorry, you have to have this vaccine or we keep your money and you can’t be here
I wonder if Big Kirko is grilling something this weekend.
He’s enough to almost turn a guy vegetarian…
Grill’s fired up and ready.
Sweet! Weber Spirit. Nice.
That’s what Canoe Girl has. Thing has been knocking them ded for 6 years now. Very consistent.
I’ve had mine for pushing 10 no. The baffles under the grill are disappearing but otherwise it’s a champ.
Well I can tell that’s not Kirk grilling. Looking good my man. Save a piece for that little feller there.
Actually that is Kirk’s grill
LMAO
I do have a Weber identical to that one but I don’t put tinfoil on it and I don’t have the grates upside down.
I only put potatoes and sweet potatoes and garlic and olive oil and a splash of water in foil starting earlier than the meat.
I’ll do diced baby reds in a foil packet but that’s about it. Any other veggies I use one of the copper grill mats. It cooks way better and actually grills them better. They are nice for things that fall apart like fish and chicken too.
Yeah, I just got a grill pan, haven’t used it much yet.
Now I am hungry
Yup. And a late dinner tonight on top of it all.
I get a sandwich on the road to my in-laws….
Happens. I´m hungary all the time.
I see what you did there!
😉
Is that beaker’s?
Just a random gif I found on giphy. Pretty sure it´s not Kirk´s grill 😄
Wads of $100 bills from the Vikes, hes running out of things to do with the money.
Jets gonna bend the Broncos over – Closet Jets fan after last week
Amen brother…loved to see the Jets just pounding the shit out of a perennial stalwart team.
Did you read my story about watching the Vikes at a bar with the Packers game on the TV right next to it with like 15 Packers fans in front of our Vikings crew and we annoyed the shit out of them all game long lol.
I didn’t…on today’s thread?
Mondays? I think?
What’s with Watson? Is the world not ending now, even though the Packers picked him with the pick they got from us?
Seems like those NDSU boys have a hard time staying health in the NFL (over generalization)
Probably all that city air they have to breathe, isn’t good for their bodies.
lol! they need to smell the springtime manure spreading…that will clear them up….
Yep, good for the immune system
That’s why Jordy had to head back to the farm in between seasons.
I mean they are from ND so what do you expect.
Yeah, yeah….I would do a comparison of Bison to Gophers in the NFL, but just don’t have the energy on a Friday afternoon. Pretty sure the Bison are winning the head count though…
Who wants to say they have a friggin Gopher on their team?
fair enough…possibly one of the worst mascot names ever!
Although I heard our new amateur baseball team in Minot is going to be called the Minot “Hot Tots”….a nod to tatter tot hotdish….a North Dakota food staple.
Oh good grief, might as well name them after Spam or Lutefisk.
Oh good grief.
Big whoop. Those boys are even softer living in liberal handout-ville.
Going to store and get a rib eye. Prob out $16 but what the fuck, life is short.
Smoking some ribs this weekend
Marinade. Cook on coals.
I’m thinking pork loin or chicken.
Just finished king salmon and deer back strap
Sounds delicious
Been 6 weeks since I ate red meat. Loving it and how I feel and saving a shit ton of $$.
Yeah, price of meat!
How much does one of those veggie based “Impossible Ribyeyes” cost!
This had me rolling on the floor when she wanted a vegan alternative at a Texas BBQ
https://babylonbee.com/video/californians-move-to-texas-episode-2-the-cookout
I have no idea I don’t eat that fake shit. If I want a steak again I’ll buy a damn steak. I eat fish, chicken and a lot of different vegetables, grains and beans.
Enjoy, Chef. Life is short indeed.
For the first time, our Viking Matt Birk (oh, and Dr. Scott Jensen, too) are leading in a new poll, for Minnesota Governor.
Suck it, Walz
Also Jim Schultz is expanding his lead on Ellison!
I’m 95% sure Ellison is a criminal who got kickbacks from all the scamming Somali scams
100000000000000000000% sure on that one.
i’d be REALLY surprised if he loses. he has many friends in high places…
Birk’s plan to fund private schools with public money is basically a kickback from the tax payer.
No, it’s no different than public schools paying teachers… if the goal is to educate children.
I know there’s a big thing on the left against private businesses to do the same thing as government, but that is ridiculous.
Incorrect. He had a private school, so him wanting public funding gives him funding. Just like a kickback.
Also the goal is not to educate children. It’s to indoctrinate. That’s the problem. It is different and public funding shouldn’t be going to indoctrinate kids.
but it is….public funding is going to indoctrinate kids…from CRT to socialist views, it is all being promoted in our public schools…even here in ND.
Do your kids goto private school?
I saw a poll where they were even. A new one just came out??
I would be so happy for the children of Minnesota if Jensne were to win.
https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/can-dr-scott-jensen-defeat-tim-walz-in-minnesota/
Man I hate what a tool and idiot Walz but I do have a hard time with Birk not understanding the basic concept of a separation of church and state. Wanting public funding of private schools is a terrible and scary notion.
Public schools are run by the religion of government. It’s just a different religion, and all dedicated to democrats.
If Weingarten and lessers weren’t such union fanatics and not political and wanted to do a better job, then that would be one thing, but they can’t keep graduating less than 75% of students in places like St. Paul and pretend they are doing anything other than a crappy job, and indoctrinating students on top of it.
Something has to change.
Well said…
My wife is just retired from teaching in the public schools….and even in North Dakota there is plenty of liberal indoctrination going on.
Two wrongs make a right good logic. The Teacher Unions are a huge problem but the answer isn’t to indoctrinate kids to worship and get their morals from a book that supports slavery, rape and murdering people who worship a different invisible guy in the sky than you do.
Still would shoke me but that’s huge.
Our stupid liberal gov has like 22 pt lead on our repub candidate…. sucks
You can only hope the cheaters don’t get away with it again
the rich just keep getting richer
How do I manage to land this gig?
UK’s Liz Truss eligible for $129K in taxpayer money every year for life after shortest-ever stint as PM
work for the government.
They used to say that Gov’t didn’t pay well…
2 years, pension, health care for life. They are all wonderful people. Not self serving like me.
In other nooz:
75% of Twitter employees aren’t coders, are probably feminist studies grads, and are superfluous.
https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2022/10/21/report-elon-musk-plans-to-lay-off-75-of-twitters-employees/
Did you also see that the Biden Administration might be looking into denying the sale due to “national security” issues.
LOL. They just can’t allow free speech anymore.
Yup, the law doesn’t even matter to them, they just do what they want. Just like Congress didn’t pass any student loan debt relief, and Biden just said it was so.
Weren’t Biden and the Dems bragging and celebrating their success in avoiding a rail strike?
Railroads reject demands from holdout union, raising odds of strike
Sad that Elon has to be the hero we need. Say what you want but he is at least putting his money into good things, at least at the surface. How he got that Money is kinda meh but…im good with his moves so far.
I know Truth is trying to compete with Twitter, but Trump should never have called Musk a scam artist, in spite of the dumb government throwing out tax credits for electric cars.
It wasn’t Musk’s fault that the government (meaning our Congresscritters) were so dumb they did that.
Right, Musk was playing with the hand he was delt, shouldn’t be criticized for it. But Trump is the walking definition of ego, thats why hes got his business chops, thats what it takes. I think Musk taking over Twitter, removing the Lefts hold on it and letting him back on it might be enough of a good gesture /ass kiss that Trump would change his mind on him.
I don’t know if Trump would go back to Twitter, but we’ll see. 80 million followers vs less than a million
Where’s cheatin’ ass Ben?
Hacking the programming of Sleeper so he can cheat more.
Yup, manipulating the IR list.
He’s smart
you spelled crooked wrong
Out drinkin’ the purple kool-aid, as usual.
Cheating
Probably with his wife’s hot sister and when the Mrs finds out he’ll say “but babe if your sister is available and you’re not no where in the rules does it say I can’t drill her.” Fair I guess by the standards here.
Family vacation, up in two harbors right now
Nice!
I like the pizza at the pizza joint a block from the docks.
Do north?
Yeah, I think so.
Have some nice hotels with elevated views of big lake.
No, Big Lake is about 5 miles from me on Highway 10, lol
Need to get out more Liv. Commiefornia has destroyed you.
I think there’s a herd of homeless women that followed me back from Jack-in-the-Box.
Lol
I’m at am air bnb, it’s ok
Up there a few years ago with elevated room and deck. Great weather. Took a pic that is background on cell.
Go to Betty’s Pies. You must.
Yup, but crowded.
Worth it.
Pie is always worth it.
Can’t go wrong with a fruit pie, coconut cream, banana cream, french silk, etc. etc etc.
I think we got a blueberry cream last time we were there. Now I’m drooling…
Rhubarb and key lime are never worth it.
You must be a communist!
Are Betty’s pies for lunch
There’s a good pie and lunch/dinner place in I believe Castle Danger (the town not the brewery). Don’t remember the name tho.
Yeah, I think I know what place you’re talking about. Good dinner, but don’t remember the name, either.
Adam basically saying that Zimmer was holding Kirk back:
Well, it hasn’t correlated to better stats for Cousins.
But the team is winning more. And Cousins has driven down for the win.
Yeah, how many times a week do you see him sling it downfield this year? Nope, when freed up it’s dumpers to a TE.
Yeah. They mention that. His stats are down, but he has been really good when the Vikings need a late game drive.
wins > stats
I agree on that.
I agree with you but coming from you is a little hypocritical seeing as you were propping Kirk up all off season on here by posting stats, and using that as your back bone as to why he is worth the money and extensions. Now that his stats suck…wins matter? But they didnt matter when his stats were good? Im confused.
For GF to clear up the Gant thing:
Ha ha, I’m peeing my pants over here.
Well, glad we could get that cleared up after 31 years.
What, that GF still pees his pants? lol
I was going to ask GF if he picked up a comfort animal when he was in Florida…
https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/mans-emotional-support-animal-helps-depression-just-happens-5-foot-long-alligator-013835759.html
My comfort animal is my Springfield XD9 Mod2.
That sounds scary.
I’m hoping someday soon my Springfield XDM will grow up to be an M1A
I’m hoping Santa puts an AR10 and thermal scope under the x-mas tree one of these years.
Yeah, I’m eyeballing the Springfield Saint Victor in .308/7.62
I’m going to have to find a different Santa if I want one, though.
Ditto or buy a winning lottery ticket.
They’re hard to come by, too. Every blue moon or so one will show up on Gunbroker and it’s snarfed up faster than gravy in Green Bay.
With a compass in the stock.
It’ll never hurt anyone unless they’re trying to hurt me.
Same here, or my kid or grandkid especially. At that point, the gloves are off and the bets don’t matter.
Same Here. My life motto
Hell, I’ll kill a man in a fair fight… or if I think he’s gonna start a fair fight, or if he bothers me, or if there’s a woman, or if I’m gettin’ paid – mostly only when I’m gettin’ paid.
Yessir
That thing will kill him some day.
Yup, just wait until it’s a 12-footer and he forgot to bring it a 500 pound hog for dinner.
I’ll be glad when this election is over and the phone stops ringing 15-20 times a day.
That’s rough.
no calls for me yet.
Like their recorded political ad will ‘help me decide’ who to vote for?
At least almost none of them leave messages.
Yeah…
I don’t sign up for things with my phone number… maybe that helps.
Don’t recall ever signing up for anything using my phone, I only have it due to work requirements and my Mom (85yrs old) not understanding how cell phones work.
i get roughly between 8-12 texts a day from political parties.
thankfully my phone recognizes its spam and i don’t even get a notification for it
I check my snail mail like once a week, but since I was gone it was 2 weeks.
There was a whole pulp mill of paper jammed in there this week.
You get phone calls?
I get texts.
I guess I could be getting some election phone calls. I do not answer the phone from a number I don’t know.
Yup, house phone.
I don’t pick up either for an Unknown Number.
Strange, have not gotten one Political Text.
Wonder why the diff?
I think landlines are in the phone book. Or online at White Pages.com
Cell phones not so much.
Mine are all flyers in mail. Inever answer my hard line and 95% on my cell comes up “scam likely”. World is getting more effed up by the second.
I get a dozen paper letter thingies, about 100 emails, a dozen texts, and a half a dozen calls per day right now on the cell.
Landlines are the only phone numbers that can be looked up. I don’t have a landline any more.
Cell phone or land line? I dont have a land line, cell phone hasnt ran once. Maybe its because iv never actually voted? Might have to keep that up.
Cell line and a land phone
I have a landline, don’t answer unknown numbers, have a cell only use for emergency and I don’t text, and I rarely give out my email. Stores and various places ask me for my email all the time, I just say “I don’t give out my email address”. Don’t get much spam either, never click on anything I don’t recognize, just move it to spam. Someone claiming to be AT&T recently sent me an email saying I need to make a decision on billing change. Companies don’t do stuff like that in email, direct to spam. I do get the political snail mail though.
I have a business and answer all calls. I also advertise w/my phone #, I still don’t get many political calls. Occasionally get surveys, which I love to answer if I have time because my answers are so unconventional.
Elijah Moore wants to be traded from the Jets. 2nd round pick in 2021.
Jets denied his trade…for now. Rams are probably knocking on the door. Heard Vikes are still in lead for OBJ
I don´t think the Vikes can afford him. Could be fun having OBJ in our offense, though.
Vikings fans
No idea what they thought they were doing there.
how five thinks vikings fans taints (i know wrong side, but fits narrative) will be handled when they lose 6 of 7
I saw that Rogers video.
lol
he was in his own little world there huh
Guaranteed they were talking about this scene….
NFL lineup looks suckish. I can watch kitties or pukes. Late game Chefs@9’ers. Nice weather in Minny this weekend, maybe get out.
I’m probably avoiding football this weekend, although I did watch the 2nd half of last night’s game.
although watching the pronouns beat the pukers could be fun
Might do that, i’d be glorious.
Can I use fucker/fuckers as my pronouns?
Yes
Yeah. Its gonna be really nice out this weekend. football can wait another week
Going to watch red zone I think, good idea to head out though, enjoy the last somewhat warm days of the year.
Chiefs gonna take a dump on niners
Not sure, what’s the line?
you think so?
CMC and Deebo make that a pretty interesting offense, IMO
their defense healthy yet?
they could be a force
they might get Nick Bosa, Charvarius Ward, Samson Ebukam, Drake Jackson, Trent Williams, and Mike McGlinchey back for this game
Bet almost none of those players play….Defense is going to get wrecked. And CMC isnt going to take their offense from scoring 14 pts a game to 24…he will get less than 10 touches this game, used in red zone.
Yes they are.
Had a weird experience at the Retina specialist today.
One area had fluid built up and they did a laser treatment to seal it from breaking and tearing.
Everything turned green and purple. Felt like an LSD trip.
After he was done, I couldn’t see out of the eye and freaked out.
He said, calm down. Give it a minute. Everything had a purple shade. Not bad if you are a Vikings fan. Sure would have been nice if the Dr said, “look, you wont be able to see after the treatment for about :30 secs.
LOL, and how do you know how a LSD trip feels like?
I dabbled with medicine for a period of time in my youth.
Me too. Many crazy memories, or lack thereof.
I referred to it as “self medicating”.
never tried LSD or really anything other than booze, caffeine, and on occasion the devils lettuce long ago and the occasional 3.2 gummy lately.
I would sign up for a DMT study anytime though.
There isn’t much I didn’t try at least once, but I was always mainly a booze guy. Started young, around 13, & LOVED it. Never had a slow gear when it came to drinking. Explains why I eventually had to quit, but it was fun while it lasted.
Sounds like my lasik procedure
Interesting.
I guess it could be similar. Mine was for a potential Retina tear as opposed to fixing the lens. I would think it might be a different because they are two different areas of the eyes.
Do you like how lasik turned out for you?
Tips to blow a job interview?
I’ll got first.
Ask how strict their policy on sexual harassment is
Don’t show.
I was interviewing a guy once who actually told me that his answers might be a little slow because he was pretty hung over from going to the concert last night…
Didn’t hire him.
Tell them you don’t want the job
put “certified nutritionist” at the top of your resume’
Shots fired…
Correct if you’re fat.
Tell the interviewer to make it quick because you have another interview to go to.
LOL. Actually happened once in one of our interviews.
Lol
Ask about paid time off for mandatory anger management classes.
Point to the picture on the desk, and say “Who’s the cunt?”
–George Carlin
Tell them what you really think.
Tell them you have time for a quickie…
Who do I have to sleep with around here to get a promotion?
That’s dangerous.
Too risky. You could get a flamer who is interested.
Ask who you will be reporting to. That person is usually in the room.
Look at them like you would look at an FTP fan, and say
“No thanks”
I mentioned this late yesterday, but the poetry discussion made me think of bathroom wall poems. Does anyone have any favorites?
Here I sit, broken hearted
Tried to shit, but only farted
Alternate ending:
Later on I took a chance
Tried to fart and shit my pants
or
Wasted a dime, but what the hell
I’ll just sit here and enjoy the smell
No matter how I shake and dance,
The last drop always ends up in my pants
When I was young and had no sense
I stopped to piss on an electric fence,
It curled my hair and tickled my balls
And made me shit in my overalls.
It was too late, I couldn’t wait. I’m sorry about the stink.
The place was crammed, the doors were jammed. So I shit in the sink.
Those who write on shit house walls
Roll their shit in little balls
Those who read these words of wit
Eat those little balls of shit
Here I sit,
My cheeks a flexin’
Giving birth
To another Texan
There is no use for you
to wipe the seat,
The crabs in here
can jump thirty feet
I don’t care what you say. I refuse to drink house paint.
Mild 1-3! We’re comin’ Lord Stanley!
sure glad we inked the flower and got rid of our trash goalie!!!!
One straight!
won 50 on those losers so long as Pats crush the bears by 30 which they will
This was 31 years ago. remember it well.
9 years ago tonight was the Josh Freeman game
LOL
Wow. That’s crazy.
And that ball still hasn’t hit the ground… who’s got the gif?
this might not work
https://i.chzbgr.com/full/7874164480/h41610AFF/josh-freeman-the-king-of-the-overthrow
trying again
And this is why having a stable, competent QB is important to me.
Oh, no doubt. Those years were so bad.
I still think having Freeman throw 50 billion times was a big FU on the coach’s part.
Yep, had to be. IIRC, AD got 11 or 13 rushes that game (& he was the NFL’s best RB going against a horrible Giants run D), and they had Freeman chuck it 53 times.
seems to me Gant’s momentum would have carried him past the base, but Hrbek’s right thigh (which had a right to its spot) caused Gant’s leg to lift rather than continue forward per Gant’s momentum
either way, GF has steam coming out his ears, I’m sure
Every reasonable adult who has watched that believes that Hrbeck pulled Gant.
How bout dem Braves?
Great season, bad playoffs.
Well, i’m a Twins fan. I got nothing to say.
Nope. Gant cant run two good
Pulled him with what?
The glove hand that was on the side of his leg?
The other hand that was not even touching him (behind Gants back)?
His 700 pound frame
so the gravity ‘pulled’ him off balance? lol
Push/pull, yin/yang, potato/rutabaga.
Now you sound like a Liberal.
Feelings > Logic
Not feelings, physics.
It’s ok, I get the same way about the ‘Pearson Push off’.
I remember as a kid being happy that official got hit with a beer bottle.
I think it was a whiskey bottle, and I still think it may have been justified.
Absolutely justified.
also, the fake Principal Skinner’s real name is eerily similar – makes me wonder what Vikings fan was hiding in the Simpson’s writing room
I believe it was a whisky bottle
Obviously Hrbek is a big cheater and probably Ben’s dad explaining why Ben is such a big fat cheater.
I feel that way about Drew Pearson pushing off.
I agree with you.
I am a Twins fan….Hrbek pulled him off the bag for sure….Atlanta got screwed in that call….doesn’t matter, Twins would have won anyway.
I agree with NoDak. I watched the game, and my first thought was “The Ump Called Him Out on THAT?”
and a Pennsylvanian
Figured it would take a North Dakotan to be the voice of reason. 🙂
Attacked by a gorilla, Gant should have pressed criminal charges.
I’ve met Hrbek. One of my uncles is friends with him. He’s a very funny guy.
Makes sense, most fat guys are funny.
eggslusher being an exception and poor lifer
Yeah we are! Hey-O!!!!
Also met Dan Glanden.
Also a great guy.
“The wrench”, he drove over to lombardi’s house to beat him up. A gamer unlike this skirt laden sissy beaker the meek
not all fat people are jolly
some are women
I would love to have a beer(s) with that guy. Loved him growing up.
Seems like good people
ok, five
Greatest World Series of all time.
It was, and there isn’t a close second.
I was at game 6.
Parents went to game 7 and left me at home.
Bastards

figured, rich spoiled liberal^^^. Doesn’t feel the effects of his rich lib lifestyle while hard workers suffer like me and Chef
Yup, i’d post a family pic big 5 but doubt id fit.
I pieced together Five’s life story from various posts.
In his own words:
LOL. I like 5, he’s pretty sharp, funny, been around the globe a bit. Hunts and fishes too.
We all do. We also like to give him shit.
Sharp and as soft as a stick of butter
LOL!
It’s not all that easy.
One time my monocle fell off when I was yachting, and I spilled my martini trying to get it.
Best. Series. Ever.
Hrbek hip check.
Gladden slides in spikes up.
Knoblauch before the yips – remember the ‘fakeout’ that slowed Lonnie Smith?
Game 6.
Puckett.
Liebrandt.
’And we’ll see ya tomorrow night!’
Then Black Jack
Greatest. Pitching. Performance. In. History.
Curt Schilling’s bloody sock was a tampon that fell out compared to Black Jack.
Still my finest sports moment ever.
Definitely. Greatest Series ever, greatest Game 7 ever, with greatest badass pitching performance ever. Morris. What a stud. They don’t make ’em like that anymore.
Chili Davis, Scott Leius, Greg Gagne, Brian Harper….. so much fun to watch.
My BIL is good friends with Jack. They hang out quite a bit. He drove me by Jack’s house in Dellwood a couple months ago. He was tough, Big 5 type guy
Bet he has a nice wheelbarrow to carry around those King Kong balls of his.
got a nice spread, wooded and quiet
I remember. Lonnie Smith probably still falls for the “I’ve got your nose!” trick.
It was awesome!
Yep, great series. You can still watch the entire series on YouTube.
They ’87 series was fun to watch, ‘cuz the good guys won, but there was some bad baseball in it
Think the good Lord remembered the Pearson push off and made it right.
He should remember the missed kick in ’98, the cheating taints and so on and so forth and make it right with the Vikings.
maybe this year
some powerful voodoo seems to be on our side so far
How do we keep this powerful voodoo on our side?
We shoulda sacrificed Spielman 10 years ago.
Looks quiet today. You numbnuts drinking already?
Not yet. I’m having some oreos soon though
orange filling ones?
I’m having a hard time finding them, so I got regular white ones since it’s still October
Just cracked open a cold one. Busy all day with work and grocery shopping.
Live look at the Stupid Face family doing yard work
So the stupid face runs in the family I see.
lifer’s immediate hillbilly illiterate WV family
Thought it was 5 and Kym
Ha ha ha ha ha
An interesting tidbit of info during bye week.
Biggest margin of victory in college football occurred in 1916 in a game between Georgia Tech and Cumberland College. Score was 222 – 0 with G-tech lead by coach John Heisman (yes THAT Heisman).
My favorite stat of the game: NEITHER TEAM GOT A FIRST DOWN. Think about that one!
Technically a touchdown is considered a conversion of downs, but I get what you’re saying. That’s pretty remarkable.
IN the NFL that is true. In college, according to an SEC site, a touchdown is recorded as a first down only if the play goes 10 or more yards. Most high schools do not count TDS as first downs. Again, this is all from the SEC website. Way to minutia for me to lose sleep over! And who knew what the rule was 100 years ago. Still a cool, fun fact
I’d trust the SEC site over Wikipedia. I blindly applied the current NFL rule when I commented, and while the Wiki text seems to back it up, the SEC site is a good find.
Good info Peter, thanks. When I struggle though a poor Viking game, I just remember Cumberland College.
ha ha ha ha ha
those poor guys

I’m more interested in how the score got to its final amount. 32 touchdowns with 30/32 extra points made? were there any safeties? I doubt there were many field goals (if any)
Yes, 30 of 32 in extra points
WOW
reminds you of Greg Joseph doesn’t it
Gary Anderson
Thanks for resurrecting that nightmare……
I see your Govenor race is tied in the latest poll….
Could Jensen win this thing? I was surprised…
oh no, the powers that be wouldn’t allow Jensen to win…
This ^^^^^^^
This perennial libtard state? Think Walz used the 9 billion budget surplus on campaign funding. Jensen has 27 cents left.
Walz by 20 points.
ugh, don’t remind me
the older I get, the dumber the average voter seems
no, big time hard core libs like eggspusher and MickKitty and the somali’s keep waltz in place
here’s the current seeding in the NFC
1 PHI
2 MIN
3 TB
4 SF
5 NYG
6 DAL
7 LAR
so if the playoffs started today, Vikings would host Rams. Winnable game. But still, a nail-biter I am sure.
Dallas would go to Tampa, and that’s a close one. Both teams are far better than the Vikings. Let’s say, for the sake of my scenario, Dallas wins.
Giants would go to San Francisco. 49ers should roll. For the Vikings’ sake, let’s hope the Giants find a way to win.
Then in the following round, the Eagles would host Dallas and the Giants would come to Minnesota. Ideally, Dallas upsets the Eagles (hey, divisional rival – it could happen).
If the Vikings can handle the Giants in a home game (decent shot), then they get to host the NFCCG against the Cowboys. Last time the team hosted the NFCCG was the ’98 season, right?
It takes an unlikely set of circumstances to set this up.
Vikings beating Rams (decent chance)
Dallas winning in Tampa (not so decent chance)
Vikings beating Giants (decent chance)
Dallas winning in Philadelphia (long shot)
The Cowboys are better than the Vikings. It would take a bizarre game to win this one, I think.
Even if all that happens, who will the AFC send to the Super Bowl that the Vikings have a chance against?
All this to say: we’ve got some LONG ODDS ahead of us.
lmao, maybe I win the lotto too
I know, I was just thinking through how it would look if the football gods rolled out the red carpet
I’ll help. 49ers 57- beaker’s sharts- 0
in my scenario the Giants take out the 9ers for us
I like it! Superbowl here we come…
SKOL!!!
people from minnesota, does it smell outside to you today?
smells like manure from stillwater all the way to blaine.
affect of the ground freezing and then thawing again?
I like the smell of cow manure.
With the constant flood of bullshit around here you’d have to….
Ha, yep!
Ha! Yep!
Me too..
Don’t you think thats just because we unconsciously associate it with Spring…which means winter is over?
I also love July 4th in ND
iggles fan^^^
That’s horses..
I love her and now she is super duper skinny and she likes wimpy weak dick lib types
So you have a chance!
no way dude, five has sex 200 times per month
Butt plugs don’t count
she is super hot
well, she was, anyway
she looked pretty good in Top Gun Maverick

i don’t mind it.
just didn’t know if i have a brain tumor, or if anyone else is smelling it….
On the positive side you don’t have COVID……..
haha yes, this is true.
liberals likely, stinky gross people
I wasn’t expecting to get a taint update this soon.
Haven’t been outside yet today, but I was outside for a couple hours yesterday afternoon (being a beta and doing my own yardwork) and it was very pleasant.
Yes. I just thought it was St Paul.
I live in Farmington. We get that smell quite often.
Wind blowing from the east today?
ATTENCION!: GF and freezey are chicken shits and won’t bet the lions will be the best team in the weak sauce NFC north for the next decade. Both have balls like a field mouse.
Your lie of the day, brought to you by our very own….Pinocchio!
pygmy shrew balls GF
what are the stipulations? most division titles of the four teams over the next 10 seasons (starting 2023)?
yes, big mouth shit talkers are scared shitless again
what if Vikings and Lions both win 4 ? is the bet a push?
lmao, never but yeah. see if these wimps are scared to death still
what if Lions/Vikings/Bears all win 3?
You suck at everything right now.
Every time his dumbassery gets exposed, he lashes out like a 4-year-old with name calling. It’s kinda’ cute, actually.
