A relaxing one for today to bring us one day closer to the weekend.
Neveada GOP only up .5 now….
Did Atlanta get replaced by some MakeAWish special needs kids?
Good sweet Jesus, does Marioca pudding suck or what?
Don’t know why I’m watching this windowlicker slap fight…. But I am.
Same here. It´s Football. And we´re addicted.
TX Federal judge strikes down student loan bail out. It will get appealed, but it’s a start.

It’s like old Kreepy Ku Klux thinks he can do whatever he wants without anyone else having to approve it.
Yup. Half trillion to buy votes, SOR to buy votes, etc. Then say “democracy” will be over if commies don’t win. Use abortion when it simply was left to states. Scare tactics, etc. It’s pathetic.
I think the best part is that they dangled the carrot and 2 days after midterms…. Shot down.
LOL
Had the grands Monday and Tuesday (and they both have colds), then stayed up late watching elections results. Basically had to veg Wednesday. Feeling better today.
not the results we wanted, might win senate and salvage it
Agree. Hopefully it will be enough to stop some of the crazy. Need to get rid of McConnell, McCarthy, and McDaniel though.
Nice to see they just aren’t spooning the speaker job to mctraitor
You know they funded Democrat candidates against Republican candidates just because they were endorsed by Trump. Traitors all.
and so did the dems endorse candidates they thought were easier to beat. They out spent the right 3 to 1 this election. Scary
My next venture is designed to take some of that money away.
best wishes
UGH!!!
@DavidGiglioCA
LMAO @GOPLeader is already on @FoxNews
giggling about how he can’t wait to become Speaker and how he and Joe Biden had a wonderful talk last night and are excited to work together
And the media and GOPe want you to blame Trump for the collapse of the Red Wave.
Yes, that happened too.
Yup, not a one of them has the interests of us minions at heart.
Yup. The progressive agenda is going to be really bad and now you are going to have a fight as Trump won’t bow out. The socialistic states like Ill, Cali, NY who are all doing horribly are going to be tried out in places like MN now where there isn’t any opposition. scary
@But KAM sucks@
Vikings are the bestest ever
Definitelyest
Why not? Does less harm than booze
It’s not maybe a hill to die on Skolly but being in CO I wouldn’t say it’s a good thing. Kids are not fully formed.
I don’t think it’s a good idea for most people to smoke it, but I think it’s dumb to put people in jail and give them a record for the rest of their life over weed. Weed never should have been made illegal in the first place, it’s time to right that wrong. In addition to problems for the person getting caught, a lot of law enforcement’s time is spent dealing with this stuff, it’s a waste of time, in my opinion.
Agreed, but who cares what nut job Ventura thinks
No restrictions? So now you can text and drive stoned? Man, this liberalizing will destroy this country, what’s left.
Even the practice weather is cooperating in the preparation for Buffalo. This season has been one for the ages in regards to things going our way.
Greasy Adolf and Jobu
Unread comments should be purple now. Yay.
5 rec used to mean a purple colored post.
now unread post = a purple colored post.
so does that mean we have lowed the bar enough that posting a comment gets you 5 rec or a participation ribbon?
We would need more than 5 people on this site then.
Sweeeeeet!
False, comments with 5 or more recs should be purple.
Thanks for the attempt, but yellow was easier to read.
I can change it back. I just had some free time, so I was playing around with things. Still snowed in here, and the snow is STILL falling. I’m guessing we’re at a foot & a half of snow today. When we went to bed last night, the ground was clear. Hell, I mowed part of the yard yesterday evening. Now, the drifts are a couple feet deep.
Nice!
Playing around here. The page might get goofy from time to time.
Okay, I should change that setting
When did republicans say they want to take away the right to vote from 18 year olds? I’ve not seen that
So dumb. Okay, so you’re old enough to die in combat, you’re old enough to move out, get married, travel abroad alone, but you can’t vote? Stupid.
lol
I love it when 1 person says something and is applied over a large group.
Test.
Yay, it worked!
So, looking through settings. For comments, I see some options so that all comments would be collapsed. I think most would find this annoying because you’d have to open each comment thread in order to see it. The positives would be that 1) the page would be MUCH faster, and 2) some may find it convenient to have each thread collapsed, then they can just open the threads they want to look at.
I’m trying to find a way to add a subject box to comments, haven’t found it yet.
I find it annoying that there is no z key function!
There’s a z key function, it just doesn’t take you to the next unread comment.
Just moved snow for the first time during this blast. Holy hell.
how’s the snow blower runnin’?
Great! This thing has been fantastic, haven’t had a single issue in all the years I’ve owned it. Starts easy, runs great.
Yikes
Skinflute, where are the vikes ranked by your source? 18th last week, did they move up to average?
Still 18th.
Offense is 16th (run ranked 8th, pass ranked 17th)
Defense is 19th (pass ranked 16th, run ranked 19th)
Special Teams is 25th (FG/XP bad, punting good, punt return kinda bad, everything else average-ish)
Thanks. Just confirming people who know football all know we still suck.
Jobu is still going strong though.
why would the NFL broadcast this game tonight? lol turrible
Every team has to play a Thursday night game.
but both teams suck
yup
Same reason old and fat chicks get laid. Some folks can’t help themselves.
oof
Hey skinflute, when you do the comment count on here is it like the old DN where you could also look at the most rec’d comment or person with the most recs?
What are you needing a pat on the back?
No I was just curious because he used to do it, it was always fearthenorthmen that had the most rec’d comment and fil that had the most recs, guess I was just feeling nostalgic.
ah, the good ol’ days
Do the tally, and then just leave Ben off of it.
I probably won’t make anyway
Yep, then coral came around and hate raped the DN.
As far as I can tell, I can’t see the thumbs ups or downs
^ they’re right above ^
If the Colts offer a slew of trades for Cousins this offseason, what do we do?
Since Andrew Luck retired, Colts have tried:
Philip Rivers
Carson Wentz
Nick Foles
Matt Ryan
seems like Kirk Cousins would be a logical next step
7th is good, take it
erin rodgee
Hard to answer that without seeing how this season goes. I’m gonna go with no, unless they offer a Herschel Walker-type bundle.
Jimmy G?
that’s an interesting idea
Jimmy will probably collapse in the playoffs again, then the team will ship him
They are committed to Lance due to the capital they gave up, age, etc. Personally, they are going to be the team to beat in the NFC along with the iggles. D is getting healthy and they have a stacked O that can run the ball
Nooooo Kirk gonna get extended hete
Jesus is officially on Twitter
Booth is healthy, may see action vs Bills. Dude is made of stone.
WE’RE SAVED!!!

prolly good for moisture though
Definitely, I won’t complain about moisture. We could get 150 inches this winter & it wouldn’t be enough. We’ve been in a bad drought for 3 years now.
seems like most places have had issues, mtn west is drought for years
Central & western ND are very dry. Eastern ND is pretty good, they’ve been getting moisture. From Bismarck to the west, it’s dryer than a Christmas fart.
Hope you don´t mind me askin´, but how dry exactly is a Christmas fart?
As dry as western North Dakota
Hang in there brad, May is around the corner.
Is it packy? Get kiddo out there – “Do you want to build a snowman…….”
Nope, fluffy & doesn’t pack at all. Couldn’t even make snowballs with it.
That’s easier to move off the driveway however. Wet heavy stuff really sucks.
leaf blower it off the driveway
I had a lady here at work who drove her subaru forester to work today…I am thinking we will be pushing her out of the parking lot which is getting pretty thick….I had my wife drop me off at work in our Seqouia, we won’t get stuck.
Are you kidding me…she’ll plow right on out of there in that AWD beast.
In other news, Lifer is a Subaru fan
I have serious doubts that Canoe Girl’s Soobaroo could plow it’s way out of an inch of cotton balls…
let alone 13 inches of Dakota snow
…must not make 13 inches joke…….must not do it…..must not do it……….must not…….
13 is roughly 3 times the size of the homeless men’s cocks you like to look at
Lifer was correct…she made it…it was a little touch and go but she made it.
Thanks for the follow up. Yeah the AWD systems from subaru are top of the market, everyone of their models are AWD and have been for decades. Biggest thing is clearance and having good tires.
Yep, their AWD system is good, and ground clearance is pretty good on those things. Their drivers mostly suck, though.
I said mostly.
THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS
Yikes, I hate winter.
Wolves Russel fails to check in after a free throw against Suns. Wolves played 4 on 5 and Suns knock down a open 3. Minny sports.
The Minnesota Timberwolves…
Sometimes the whole is less than the sum of the parts.
I used to love watching the NBA. Sometimes I still miss it. Man, there were some great battles back in the day.
I like our chances if Keenum plays – tosses up questionable wounded ducks, more of a pocket passer.
Za’Darius “Go ahead and call me Hootie, see what F’n happens” Smith, Hunter, and Hitman will be salivating all game – they’ll need a squeegee for the field.
You guys want to try them?
Who could eat a cat? They are adorable.
I love cats….just can’t eat a whole one.
If they taste like chicken I can say goodbye to the grocery store…
They will be a item soon.
Not enough get hit by cars, though…
Ya never see any strays near a Chinese food place…..just sayin’….
…..or roadkill, for that matter…..
Town called Lilydale right across from St Paul had a Chinese restaurant right next to a cat clinic when I was growing up.
Anyone ever go to the bar “Moose Country” on Highway 13? Right next to there
I once read an article by a guy who ate a bunch of animals not typical eaten in various countries to try them.
Cat was one of the things he tried, but I can’t remember his review. I want to say cat was a red meat, but I think that was dog.
Gato Tacos. mmmmmm
Bottom line on the senate race is the Pubs need to win GA.
Yes
Not convinced Nevada is safe yet.
up 2 pts, hope so
Boebert up by 800 votes now, with less than 4% left to count.
She should be good
Yeah, she’s up by 1200 votes with 1.6% left to count.
Nevada is the place of magical ballots…they just appear and then they need to be counted.
yup
Gonna repeat this here. Again, please say something if the ads are a problem, I can’t fix something if I don’t know it’s broken.
You may start seeing ads on the site sometime this week or next week. I want to make sure to keep them from becoming obtrusive. If they do get to be a pain, PLEASE let me know and we can adjust the frequency and what-not.
Also remember that once we have the FOCO ad up and running, you can get a discount on all their products if you click on the ad.
Is FOCO clothing?
Yeah, they have quite a few different products, all officially licensed. I’ll find the link, I think I posted it yesterday.
Pretty cool stuff, from what I could see.
FOCO > FUBU
Exciting times!
I’ll email you if I notice anything amok.
Damn y’all, it’s still snowing here, and I think it’s actually snowing harder now than it has all day. Kiddo and I are gonna go out snow shoeing.
PFF. Ingram #70 out of 77 guards. 7 sacks, 31 pressures.
Yeah, he’s struggling. I think we discussed this briefly last week, but there’s a decision to make. Do you stick with the rookie and let him work through the issues, or do you put the veteran in and get the instant improvement?
Prob stays in, wouldn’t mind some rotating. Kirk going to get killed.
So basically the best right guard we have had in years
Well, Samia and Uduh bring back memories, albeit bad.
He’s a rookie, it takes time even if he does pan out. He was against all pro’s last week.
Watt owned him too. Lots of Purple crack around tho, and jobu.
Look how turdbury went from complete shit to top 10 center after 3 years. Makes no sense, I have never seen a turn around like that. 3 years worst in the nfl to above average
I think turdberry still sucks
Needs a contract.
I would likely let him walk as the dire need at OL will get him overpaid by some team in free agency.
Exactly but he is be rated much higher this season
Time to just ignore 5.
Or just posts gifs that show up when you type in penis.
.
LOL, go ahead. I enjoy his contributions to the comments section here.
Of course you do bucket boi.
Not all of them
and I even enjoy some of yours
PPB is a stupid lib, at least he was, might just be on probation now
I’ll hold
Furst to spell first rong….
First
name of your sex tape
